Dust Jacket legit or not?
I bought two seemingly first edition Needful Things but quickly realized only one of them is 1st edition. Problem is the dust jacket is nicer in the one that is not first edition and want to change them. Im worried about possibly ruining the value because there is one slight difference between the dust jackets and I don’t know if it matters. They both have a barcode that has an additional smaller barcode to the right and one has numbers above that smaller barcode and the other does not. Can this indicate originality or first edition?

2024.05.18 21:31 Illustrious_Fan9974 Balance changelogs that i wish to be applied

[---Buffs---]
HANK!
  1. Charging time : 3s-2.5s
  2. Added tank trait
  3. Its GONNA Blow (Sp ) : 10%-15% efficiency
  4. Hp value 10800-11600
( Despite this SHRIMP got huge BUFFS yet still staying on the bottom of the tiers ,is really unideal For that being. This should make him put more pressure and be a little defensive on close range scenario's . Also his sp where he gets his speed buff should be increased as it is only a 10% increaseal )
BARLEY
  1. HP value: 4800-5000
  2. Reload speed increased by 5%
( I tried not to give everyone a DMG change since DMG inflation is continuously rising over time.... Soo tried some alternative options tbh. )
TARA
  1. Both of her spawnables hp from SP increased by 800 ---( 2400-3200)---( 3000-3800)---
( Nobody's Talkin about how she fell off in the last few months.
BTY tried a different buff for her. What I've seen is what her spawnables hp from both of her SP is still the same even aftrr the universal stat buff. No wondy why her spawnables are soo fragile RN. )
JANET
  1. Attk range: 8.33-9 blocks/tiles
( Hot take but the only thing that i suffer when playing janet is how low her range is.... As a marksman, she just..... Doesn't seem too have enough range, AKA underwhelming ..... Havin that low of attk distance also makes her more fragile, TBH i think this single buff is enough to give her a substantial improvement. )
DARRL
1.Steel hoops SP : Effect duration 2s-3s
  1. Projectile amount : 5-4 DMG Distribution ==> 480--600 per projectile
  2. Rolling reload: now also grants CC immunity for 1s
( Darrls viability is slowly descending due to better picks and HCS ( OFC ) but instead giving a basic Hp Buff, i thought what about buffing his steel hoops, as now he can be more aggro with his playstyle as he will be alot tankier . Also with the second change, he can do more consistent chip DMG even at max/mid range)
DOUG
  1. Base healing: 1200-1600
  2. Teammates after reviving by his super will get 25% Shield for 3s
ASH
  1. FULL Rage gained from receiving DMG : ==>125%- 100% of his base hp
  2. Rage bar now decays 15% slower
( He is also powercrept due to not having a HC as tanks get the most benefit from it and get the most sufferings without it...BUT, recently i am seeing that, as more characters are getting HCs, tanks HCs are also getting powercrept. Those HCS are still Strong tho ...... But i dont think a single HC will make him alot better. This change should let him be more AGGRO tbh )
[--MISCELLANEOUS BUFFS--]
HIEST SAFE: Base HP increased by 25% Upto ==>(80000-100000 hp)
 2. Now has a Damage cap of 5000 per second 
( Do i need to say somtin?.... HIEST recently has been INSANELY powercrept due to more high DMG dealing characters as well as balance changelogs, this sure is a necessary change RN)
[---DeBuffs---]
ANGELO
  1. movement speed reduced to fast when charging attks ( from very fast)
  2. SCR : 2-2.5 shots
  3. Main attk DMG : 4400-4000
( Absolute insane marksman RN... The HIGH DMG combined with his insane speed is ridiculous )
MELODIE
  1. Dash range reduced by 25%
  2. Base SCR : 4-5
  3. SCR from notes cut in HALF.
Misc: 1. After hitting a main shot, notes will no longer Dmg target's on the middle of the attacker ( Nerf )
( INSANELY high mobility and Very fast SCR... Considering how easy to hit shots TBH.... Also nobody's giving a Fuck about it... But for some reason, when applying her basic attk, the notes appear literally from her a-- inside..... , Dealing 2760 per attks... Even if all 3 of your notes are charged, u still do insane Dmg with that goffy ahh gimmick. [ 920 from basic attks+ 1840 from the notes ] this substantially increases her Burst DMG value... also once she gets her super... its pretty easy to cycle it with her notes as the notes charge rate is the same as the base SCR, aka 4 hits......Allowing her to do absurd teamwipes . Also the inability to charge notes from special targets will make her an insane Victim of spawners like Nita and Jessie )
PIPER
  1. DMG value: ==>3400-3200
  2. Autoaimer (gadget) : knockback removed, and increased slowness by 300% ( 0.5-2.0s slow ) and DMG increased to 800 from 160
( Having two jail free cards as a marksman are already insane, soo one of them should be tuned down, this gadget change will let her intruder's aproch slower but will not cancel their attks . Mainly the intention is , there should be a way to counter her Greatly in close scenarios.
And talk about her DMG, IMO way overtuned, way too much rewarding when shot hits , needs a balance between like what happened to Nani. )
SANDY
  1. HCR : 60%-40% ( 1.66-2.5 supers )
( His HC is incredibly strong AF, As if it wasn't enough..... )
JESSIE
  1. HCR : 60%-50% ( 1.66-2 Supers )
( got overtuned TBH, getting that much 10k hp turrets are just too overwhelming )
BELLE
--HYPERCHARGE TWEAKS--
  1. DMG boost: 25%-20%
  2. Speed boost: 26%-18%
( BELLEs high DMG boost from her HC makes her soo much deadly, so does the speed which also does insane job )
BYRON
  1. Base healing/DMG: 760-720
( Ok i am sorry, but IMO his Dmg/heal got way overtuned.... I already Kinda doubted that after this change he might need a small Nerf... But at the same time... I think he will still be really Good )
CHARLIE
  1. Spiders hp decay increased ( 10%-20%) Upto 10-5s spiders endurance .
  2. Victims can now heal and reload when they are in her cocoon with 30% less efficiency.
  3. Attk unload delay: 500ms-750ms
( IDK how to balance her super TBH. She has to be one of the most unserious character supers I've seen. A fast paced multiplayer game where u always have to be active, Havin a character who literally makes u being idle for a decent period of time.... Like even if the super was 3s, she still will be good... Bcuz of how her super works. her Allie's including herself, gets a huge advantage in many scenarios, because 5s is still enough to do the impossible in ongoin matches, atleast in competitive. Soo increasing the decay again will let her and her allies do less amount of crazy plays and other shit. But if u have any ideas, just let me know how to balance her super properly
but what can i see for now which needs a deserved change is that the spooders gadget Imo is still pretty braindead and strong at the same time.... 10s of endurance if doesn't get damaged helps her soo much for control , this especially helps with single non pierce attkers . This should do the damn job .
*BUFFS , DEBUFFS and CHANGES *
MANDY
--CHANGES--
  1. first star power is now baseline. it is replaced with THE new SP ( In my sight's)..... Which increases the upper and lower view point by 15% in focused mode...
( IMO her 1st SP is a must for her kit..... So i tried making her 1st sp baseline as I think, she is quiet unviable without it....)
CHESTER
--buffs--
  1. Main Attk DMG: ==( 1280-1400)
  2. SCR : 7-- 6 bells
  3. Poprocks super now have a throwing range similar to other spawners like Nita.
--REWORKS--
  1. 2 nd sp now reveals enemy's ammo bar and charge rate ( CHARGE RATE bar amplifies like lous freeze bar)
  2. 1 st SP now removes one cap bell attack and cycles between 2-3 bells
(Although OUR Mighty JESTER dosent have any good competitive purposes, he still feels awfull in Ladder as well.... bumping the DMG will make his long range shots more rewarding and reworking his 1st SP will reduce his Burst DMG buuuut, this SP will indeed increase his Consistency over DMG even more...)
KIT ( SIZABLE REWORK )
--Buffs--
  1. after leeching out from an allie, he will gain 33% of his super back
  2. Super duration when leeched on allies 10s-12s
--DEBUFFS--
  1. MAIN attk DMG : 2000-1600 ( revert)
--changes ( Reworks )--
1.Power hungry ( SP) : renamed to " Enter context ". When leeched to an allie, his allie will passively Charge its super similar to kit himself, but it will be 20% less effective.
  1. Cardboard box ( gadget) : renamed to "Enter context" will increase leached allies movement speed by 25% for 5s
  2. Overly attached ( SP) : renamed to " Enter context" . Will get 40% DMG when super is applied to opponents and targeted victim will receive 20% more DMG from all source's. The Dmg buff also Includes kits super DMG.
  3. Cheeseburger ( Gadget) : will now heal kit even if he isn't leeched to any allies. But it will be 30% of his max HP. And now has a maximum healing cap of 4000 . ( small Nerf) so no more Kit + Big tank combo.
  4. After leeching out of an Allie, he will gain 25% DMG reduction for 5s
( Tried to make him actually decently supportive rather assassin type. Hot take but kits whole system is just messed up. From gadgets being not supportive enough to SPs being very situational. One thing i also noticed that, supportive characters who has shorter range generally suffers more than the other supports. And not to mention, his super is not that consistent. After leeching out of an Allie, he literally losts his whole damn super and considering he has no other way to fastly charge his super except attacking others opponents, which he suffers again cuz he has short range , low burst and low Hp. So He has to passively charge it most of the time. Which takes a while where 20s to be exact. So i tried to make his super just a little more cyclable and tried making his whole gadget, SP reworked . To make him supportively better. Soo lastly, WDYT? Did i overdo it, or like overbuffed him? Let me know tho. For any improvements)
CHUCK
--Debuffs--
  1. Cant place polls in a HIEST safe ( in a radious of 4 tiles )
--Buffs--
  1. Reload speed 2000ms-1800ms
  2. projectile speed 1750-1860
--CHANGES ( small reworks) --
1 .autoaiming outside the polls will no longer place one , instead all poles now need to be placed manually.
  1. Reroute gadget will pick up the nearest pole instead of last placed pole. The gadget Will Still pick up poles even if the super is Charged
( Outside heist and few hotzone maps.... He recently started to become outshined by other controllers. His kit is really weird as it only works decently on specific modes and maps. Soo kinda tried to rework some of his base stats .
And this change to his super will let him do more good pole placements soo he can do more controlling attribution for his team.. although WDYT?.
SAM ( SIZABLE REWORK)
--Changes--
  1. 1st SP is now baseline. it is replaced with ( insert name ) which upon deploying his super, he will be immune to all CC for 1.5s
  2. 2nd SP is now reworked, after launching his super, after 10s, he will instantly charge his super. (Doesn't passively charge bty )
  3. 2nd gadget is now reworked as well to ( insert name ) . It is like sprouts one, when knuckle Busters are on the ground , using this gadget will automatically home in to himself and will deal 1800 DMG
( He is completely dependent on his 1st SP ... IMO making it baseline is important, second of all... Both of his 2nd gadget and SP is Dogshit.... It really need some love... Soo tried this Rework to remove some of Sam's weaknesses. Also. Is the first SP rework good or just made it too strong ?, let me know)
OR, ( Quickfix)
  1. knuckle Busters pickup timing reduced by half .
  2. Hp Value: 10800-11200
FANG
--debuffs--
  1. SRR : 45hits
  2. Super DMG: 2400-2200
--buffs--
  1. Main attk DMG : 2720-2800
  2. Super dash speed: 4000-4500
HYPERCHARGE Tweaks
  1. HCR : 20%-30% -- ( 5-3.33 supers)
(fresh kicks SP has been always a must pick for his kit, and now because of his buffed SCR , this SP just straight makes him to be able to destroy low-mid ladder player matchmakings . Although he is counterable in competitive matches. But knowing the fact that 70% of the whole player base are casuals, i think he actually needs a super Debuff, cuz NOBODY likes to get teamwiped in a matter of seconds. He was already pretty solid IF U PLAYED HIM well enough which most of the people weren't. After his SRR buff, he already became STUPIDITY braindead as it is pretty EZ TO cycle supers.
Now i just wanna make him skill based as how he was before sep 2023. The main thing that i noticed was his SRR change is what made him less skill
Tried to revert it. But also giving him some buffs to balance thing's out.
GUS ( Rework to supportive gimmicks )
--Buffs--
  1. spirit heal: 1600-2000
--CHANGES--
  1. Hitting a Spirit Charged attk on a wall will now spawn a Ghost as well
  2. Kooky popper( gadget) : added knockback but DMG is cut in 1/4th . 2000-500
  3. 2nd gadget: removed HP sacrificial ( 5%-0% ) And next attk upon Activation will spawn 2 spirits
( Really hoping this will make him shine again, tried to make him supportively viable by making the spirits actually useful for healing his Allie's. Keep in mind that the sprits healing buff is an indirect buff to his 1st SP as well. Allowing his allie to heal upto 4000 which is pretty substantial. And adding some kind of CC to him soo he can atleast retreat with THIS but added additional nerf to it for a compensation. )
LOU
DEBUFFS:
  1. Hypothermia SP : Max DMG reduction. 50%-35%
BUFFS:
  1. Hp value: 6400-7000
  2. SCR : 8-7 shots ( without SCR gear )
HYPERCHARGE tweaks (DEBUFF)
  1. Hypercharged super insta freeze -70% of the freeze bar will be filled
( Same is COLGATE, not any big problems on his main kit, except his HYPERCHARGE.... Buuut supercell really likes to kill a character whos main issue isn't his base kit. also his hypothermia SP is kinda getting slept on as how secretly STRONG AF it is. You can still almost insta freeze any enemy with HCed super combined with Cyro Shyrup )

2024.05.17 22:41 AGuyfrometernalsky Medovey tribes: These three western Abkhaz mountain tribes(Akhchipsou, Aibga and Pskhu) were among the most warlike and heroic groups in the Caucasus and were the Ubykhs' closest allies. They fought until the end (21 May 1864)...

In the same area described above, but moving away from the seashore and approaching the mountain gorges, three Abkhazian societies inhabit: Akhchipsou, Aibga, and Pskhu, which some classify as part of the Jigetian***(Sadzs)*** group, while others consider them a distinct branch called Medozuyi or Medoveyevtsi. The Akhchipsou live in the upper reaches of the Pskhu and Mzymta rivers. Did not bow to anyone, they are known for their warlike spirit and ferocity. They maintained close ties with their neighbors, the Ubykhs, and participated in their ventures. The high mountains and impregnable gorges occupied by the Akhchipsou, along with their inaccessibility from the sea, presented significant difficulties for subduing this society, which at one time was the most troublesome of all the Abkhazians for Russia.
The Aibga live between the Akhchipsou and Pskhu societies, in the upper reaches of the Khashuapse River; this is the smallest of the three Medoveyevtsi societies, primarily engaged in theft and robbery in Abkhazia and among the Circassians who lived on the northern slope of the Caucasus range. The Pskhu live in the upper reaches of the Bzyb and Mezhita rivers. This society shares with all the Medoveyevtsi a propensity for predation and the capture of prisoners for later sale to Turkish merchants. In 1840, they submitted to Russia and handed over hostages, but in the last war with the Circassians, they took part against the Russians. The population of all the Medoveyevtsi, before the resettlement of the Circassians to Turkey, amounted to approximately 7-8 thousand souls.
E.P. Kovalevsky. Essays on the Ethnography of the Caucasus. 1867.
Abadzes, inhabiting the eastern shore of the Black Sea from Bzyb to Sochi, are divided into many societies, independent of each other, free, and not subject to any authority. In each society, there is one or two families who, due to the antiquity of their lineage, wealth, and numerous members, enjoy general respect and inviolability based on the number of avengers they can mobilize in case of an offense against one of their members. There is no popular enmity between these societies, which does not prevent individual families from engaging in feuds that often disturb general harmony.
There are as many societies as there are villages, and they are as follows:
  1. Akhchipsou, at the upper reaches of the Mzymta River... situated on slopes and small clearings at the foot of mountains forming the gorges of the mentioned rivers. The houses (of which there are about 200) are scattered over a distance of almost 5 versts, each family having a garden and a small field sown with corn and gomi near their dwelling. Communication within the village is extremely difficult, consisting of narrow, rocky paths often blocked by huge masses of stone... steeply disappearing over the precipitous bank of the Mzymta, across which there are 2 suspension bridges, with fords for crossing horses nearby. The dominant family here is the Marshanias, extremely numerous, the most senior and respected being Dudarukva Bagarkan-ipa Marshania.
  2. Aibga, at the upper reaches of the Psou River, somewhat smaller than Akhchipsou and containing up to 180 families, also settled by the Marshanias; in addition to them, there are the uzdens Vakhokh, Tlabog, and Kota, who have some influence among the people.
  3. Chuzhgucha, on the Chuzhipsy River, a tributary of the Mzymta; its population extends to 100 families, who have built their dwellings on the forested heights along this river. They are poorer than the inhabitants of Akhchipsou and Aibga, due to the lack of space, which does not offer the resources enjoyed by the mentioned villages. Here too, the Marshanias are the primary family, with the senior and wealthiest being Kazdatuk Dudarukva Marshania.
The villages of Akhchipsou, Aibga, and Chuzhgucha, being not far from each other, in naturally fortified places, are closely connected through the Marshania family that inhabits them, and together they are known to their neighbors as the Medoveyevtsi. Related to the Abkhazians, they speak the same language and differ neither in lifestyle nor customs from the latter. Among the highlanders, the Medoveyevtsi are known for their predatory behavior, aided by the impregnability of their homes, shielded by mountains from raids by neighbors who might seek retribution.
  1. Chuzhi, on the Khudaps River, about 100 families, whose homes are scattered on more open heights than the previous ones; here, grapes are grown, which the Medoveyevtsi do not have, and farming is in better condition. The Chuzhi society acknowledges the authority of Prince Djimir-ipa Islam Baga.
  2. Chua, on the Mtsa River, with about 150 families, living spread out over a distance of 3 versts, recognizing the authority of Prince Bezish Achu.
The inhabitants of the Chuzhi and Chua societies, living amicably among themselves, call themselves Abadzes, not adopting the name Sadz, which belongs specifically to the coastal inhabitants of the Abadze tribe.
  1. The village of Sochipsy, or Oblagukuadzh, located on both sides of the Sochi River, in a rather extensive valley near its mouth; it has up to 450 families, partly Abazins, partly Ubykhs, and a small number of Turks, united under the name Sashe. The Turks in this village have one of their main settlements and conduct trade with the highlanders from here; their influence on the inhabitants is noticeable by the zeal of the latter in performing the rites of the Muslim religion, which is not seen in other villages.
Prince Ali Akhmet Oblagu, whose origin is from the Adyghe tribe, is a zealous Muslim surrounded by Turks. The Sashe tribe obeys him, although not in all cases; his influence particularly declined when the natives, for unknown reasons, began to suspect him of secret relations with the Russians, but nevertheless, he is the strongest among the princes and owners from the Shah River to the Bzyb River and enjoys good prosperity.
Prince Oblagu*'s house is built one verst from Sochipsy and at the same distance from the sea, where a small barricade of trees and earth has been made to cover the road leading to the village.
In Sochipsy, three languages are in use: Circassian, Abazin, and Ubykh.
  1. Khaltis, on the right bank of the Mtsa, near its mouth; about 60 families; adheres to the Hamysh society.
  2. Hamysh, on the slope of the mountain, above the sea itself along the river of the same name, recognizes Prince Djembulat Hamysh as their prince, weak even in his own domain, although considered by lineage to be the senior of the Abkhazian princes. There are about 80 families in the village.
  3. The Eskhoripsh or Artkuadzh society counts up to 200 families, settled along the Khudaps River, two versts from its mouth; it obeys no one; the uzdens of the Arta family reside there.
  4. The Aredba society, settled in the Liesh valley, counts about 430 families, benefiting from the plains, which other villages lack. Farming and cattle breeding are in better condition here than elsewhere, and there is a small herd of horses. The wealth of the Liesh valley inhabitants is known among the Sadzes.
The Aredba brothers - Beslan, Sousran, and Chigua - the senior members of the lineage, have no authority over the people but are respected. They lost their influence when they entered into relations with the Russians and have had to endure frequent reproaches for this.
The settlement of the Aredba society, encompassing the Liesh valley in a crescent shape, is divided into the following auls: Kereka, Abakha, Banshiripsh, Uchuga, and Khishkhoripsh, lying on the slopes of hills bordering the Liesh valley from the east, Kata, and Djankhota...
Along the road leading from the seashore through a small interval to the mentioned villages, 2 or 3 versts from the mouth of the Mzymta to the north, residents have built a large, but weak for defense, barricade on the very sandy shore.
  1. Gechkuadzh, on the right side of the Psou River, holds up to 80 families and is inhabited by the Gech family, among whom Edyrbey is the most significant.
  2. Tsandrypsh or Tsankuadzh, along the Khuchups River; it has up to 120 houses, mostly occupied by the uzdens of the Tsanbai family, the senior being Hadji Salama.
  3. Khyscha, on a mountain, the residence of the Anchabadze family, counts no more than 40 families.
  4. Begeucha, or Bagrypsh, the village closest to Gagra, contains about 100 families.

d) Psou – between the sources of the Bzyb and Apsta rivers, Aibga – at the upper reaches of the Psou River, Akhchipsou – at the upper reaches of the Mzymta River, Chuzhgucha – at the upper reaches of the Mdy River. These four societies, known among the Circassians living on the northern side of the mountains under the common name Medoveyevtsi, are Abkhazians who have retreated for various reasons to the impregnable rocks adjacent to the eternal snows. Occupying places that are difficult to cultivate, poor in pastures and land products, they are in need of bread, livestock, and clothing. Only in the villages of Akhchipsou and Chuzhgucha do fruit trees grow, which are found along the seashore in Abkhazia and among the Ubykhs. The impregnability of their homes and extreme poverty have made the Medoveyevtsi predators, feared by their neighbors. The Medoveyevtsi form kinship ties with their fellow Abkhazians and Sadz, sometimes maintaining friendly relations with them, and at other times being at enmity.
The Medoveyevtsi are openly hostile to the Circassians: crossing the Caucasus mountain range, they descend into the forested gorges of the Urup, Laba, Khodz, and Belaya rivers, killing Circassians there and capturing their people and livestock. Almost every year, the residents of Chuzhgucha and Akhchipsou drive off sheep from the Abazeks; only once did the Abazeks, having gathered in large numbers, manage to rob several border houses in Akhchipsou.
The Medoveyevtsi have no religious beliefs; only some of the nobles perform the rites prescribed by the Muslim faith, without caring, however, about its doctrines.
In all four Medoveyevtsi villages, the Marshania***(Marshan)*** family is dominant, divided into two lines – the Mas-ipas and the Bagarkan-ipas; the former live in the village of Psou, the latter in Aibga, Akhchipsou, and Chuzhgucha.
Judging by the places they occupy, the Medoveyevtsi cannot be considered to number more than 5,000 males.

The coastal Djigets, Shapsugs, and Natukhay are more than ever showing a desire to submit, but the main, so far insurmountable, obstacle in this is the Ubykhs and the mountain Djiget societies of Aibga and Akhchipsou. The leader of this hostile faction is Hadji-Berzok, an old man who is wealthy, enterprising, and has great influence among the people.

REPORT BY I. R. ANREP, CHIEF OF THE BLACK SEA COASTAL STRIP, TO E. A. GOLOVIN, COMMANDER OF THE CAUCASUS CORPS, ABOUT THE DJIGET AND UBKH NOBLES WHO TOOK THE OATH OF LOYALTY
May 25, 1841
Following report No. 133 from May 6, I am honored to inform Your Excellency about the submission of the Djiget community of Hamish. I am also honored to report that now all the coastal Djigets and part of the Ubykhs have taken an oath of eternal loyalty to Your Excellency and have given hostages.
I am very pleased to inform Your Excellency of this event and would like to present the details of this matter, which promises very important results, with your permission.
The people living in the area between the Ubykhs and Abkhazians are called Saadzen; among the Georgian tribes, these people are known as the Djigets. The Djigets speak Abkhaz and, in their traditions, resemble the Abkhazians more than their other neighbors, the Ubykhs. Since ancient times, the Abkhaz rulers have had influence over them and held them in high regard. The princes and noble families of Abkhazia are related to the Djigets. The social structures of these two peoples are identical: without question, the princes and noble families held power.
During the conquest of Abkhazia, the alliance between this region and the Djigets was destroyed, and in recent years, hostility arose. As a result, the Djigets joined forces with the Ubykhs, who are also known for their warrior skills, and together they launched operations against Abkhazia and our fortifications. The Djigets can be divided into two main groups: the highlanders/mountaineers (Akhchipsa, Aibga, and Pshu) and the coastal people (Hisha, Tsvandrypsh, Gecha, Areda, and Hamish).
The first group can be estimated at 2 to 3 thousand households. The highland Djigets live in the upper reaches of the Mzymta, Psou, and Bzyb rivers, which are difficult to access. Historically, this region has served as a refuge for those pursued by our administration and sought by their people for revenge. Among the surrounding peoples, the highland Djigets are not known for great warrior skills and valor, but they are the most tireless and agile bandits. In the northern part of the Caucasus, they are famous as Medoveev for their predatory activities.
The coastal Djigets' territories are especially divided by the high mountainous area between the Psou and Bzyb rivers, but in the area between these mountains, there are many fertile, rich, and densely populated valleys. Proximity to the sea and trade provided the coastal Djigets with various comforts of life, thus the violent raids on the coast had a direct impact on them. On the other hand, the strengthening of Gagra blocked the best route to Abkhazia for them, forcing the Djigets to take difficult and unsafe snowy mountain paths.
A few years ago, Hadji Berzek swore not to travel to Abkhazia via the mountains after losing 700 men in a snowstorm. We had the means to invade the lands of the Djigets, frequently threatened them on this matter, and sometimes carried out our threats when possible. In 1838, we organized an expedition to capture the Pshu community, which was scattered above the Bzyb River and consisted of 300 households. Circumstances prevented this move, but in 1839, the Pshus themselves surrendered. Subsequently, in 1840, the Hisha community (150 households), subject to the Anchabadze princes, and several villages of Tsvandrypsh closer to Abkhazia were conquered.

9. Achyps and Pskhu
The highland Abkhaz tribe Achyps(Akhchipsou) inhabited the headwaters of the Mzymta River in the territory of historical Abkhazia, which is now part of the Russian Federation. The center of the Achyps society was the village and area of Gәbaa-dәы ("Gubaa clan clearing"), known in Russian sources as Kbaade. The tribal self-designation of the group is Achyps (аҳҷыԥсы́//ҳаҷыԥсы́), and it is known by the same name to other Abkhaz communities. Representatives of this group call their language а́ԥсашәа "Abkhaz language". It is noteworthy that the Karachays refer to the Abkhaz as khachyps-ly, as they had the greatest contact with this Abkhaz community.
The Pskhu society lived in a mountain basin at the headwaters of the Bzyb River. In addition to their common self-designation as а́ԥсыуа "Abkhaz", the Pskhu people also refer to their group with the hybrid term ԥсҳәы́-аҳҷыԥсы "Pskhu Achyps". Linguistically, their speech is hardly distinguishable from the speech of the Achyps, and it can also be defined as a dialect of Achyps. The self-designation of both groups (Achyps and Pskhu), now represented only in Turkey, is а́ԥсуа//а́ԥсауа "Abkhaz".
The phonetic system of the Achyps dialect coincides with the system of the Aatsyn dialect of the Bzyb dialect, the Turkish Bzyb dialect, the Sadz dialect of the Tsvydji dialect (but in the absence of the phoneme [f']), and the Tsabal dialect. Like in the Tsabal and Tsvydji dialects, the finite forms of dynamic verbs in the present tense end with -oo-t, while those of stative verbs end with -oo-p. Another feature of Achyps is that it has parallel forms for stative verbs: -u-p (as in the Bzyb and Abzhuy dialects) and -y-t (as in the Sadz dialect and in the Kvin dialect of the Ashkhar dialect), although forms with -y-t are rarer, e.g., "йы́-ҟа-йт" ("that is, there is") alongside the more common "йы́-ҟа-уп" ("there is"). In the Sadz dialect, these forms are also parallel, but forms with -y-t are, on the contrary, more common.
The villages inhabited by representatives of the Achyps and Pschu groups are located in the following provinces of north-central Turkey: Düzce and Sakarya.
Vyacheslav A. Chirikba.
Resettlement of Abkhazians and Abazas in Turkey.
Akhchipsou villages in Turkey; Yeni Mahalle (Tagorek)-Hendek, Yarıca-Hendek, Bıçkı (Yeşil Yayla)-Hendek, Kalayık-Hendek, Karaçökek-Hendek, Çakallık-Hendek, Harmantepe-Hendek, Sümbüllü-Hendek, Hüseyinşeyh-Hendek, Nüfren Beylice (Apsara)-Hendek, Hacımbey (Apsara)-Hendek, Halilbey (Apsara)-Düzce, Akçayır Şabatbey (Apsara), Nüfren Soğuksu (Apsara)-Düzce, Tepsek (Apsara), Kanca(Apsara)-Düzce, Bıçkıatik (Apsara)-Düzce, Ayazdağı (Apsara)-Düzce, Çukurhan(Apsara)-Düzce, Efteniye Süleymanbey-Düzce, Efteniye Zekeriya Mahallesi-Düzce, Efteniye Harziya Mahallesi-Düzce, Efteniye Çayköy-Düzce ve Efteniye Kurak Mahalle-Düzce.
The point that should be known in this information is that villages and neighborhoods such as Nüfren Beylice, Hacımbey, Halilbey, Akçayır Şabatbey, Nüfren Soğuksu, Tepsek, Kanca, Bıçkıatik, Ayazdağı, Çukurhan, Süleymanbey, Zekeriya Mahalle, Harziya Mahalle, Çayköy, Kurak Mahalle are not entirely of Akhchipsou origin. It is a mixture of Akhchipsou, Pskhu and Aibga. There is no clear information about which villages and families are Akhchipsou, which are Pskhu, and which are Aibga. Research on the subject continues.
Today, the Pskhu villages established between Hendek and Düzce in Turkey are Nüfren Beylice, Hacımbey, Halilbey, Akçayır Şabatbey, Nüfren Soğuksu, Tepsek, Kanca, Bıçkıatik, Ayazdağı, Çukurhan, Bıçkı, Karaçökek villages. The Pskhus living here define themselves as Apsua. These villages are not entirely of Pskhu origin, but are mixed with Akhchipsou and Aibga groups. Some of these villages no longer have Abaza(Abkhaz).
(Küçük Abhazya Etnografik Toplulukları./ S.Sımsım)
Medovey tribes (except a few families which relocated to among Abazins in Karachay-Cherkessia) entirely exiled from Caucasus.

2024.05.17 20:28 Future_Ad_3485 Paranormal Inc. Part Fourteen: Breaking the Curse of Sorrow!

Packing up a bag to solve one of the jobs that had been on the back burner, the island overrun with zombies was getting resolved. Checking the contents over one more time, the raw pain of losing Croak drove me to this point. The twins’ hopping down the stairs had me grumbling under my breath, both of them bowing to me. What kind of childhood did they have if they felt the need for that type of behavior? This was irritating the shit out of me. Perhaps it was everything else.
“May we come?” Travy inquired with a nervous smile, her sister holding onto her arm. “I want to destroy what my mother built. Forgive a girl for dreaming.” Both of them looked eager, her usual white suit contrasting her sister’s frilly pink number of a dress ironically. Mulling over her reason, the vows would serve to protect me from assassination. Rolling my eyes, I couldn’t believe what I was about to say.
“Fine but I will be keeping a sharp eye on you. No funny business.” I spoke sternly, zipping up my bag. Whispering among themselves, the talking behind my back is not what I signed up for. Clearing my throat, the twins’ straightened up. Saluting me, this stiff behavior was wearing on my nerves even more. Marching up to them, little to no protest met me lowering their hands. Abuse had led them to such behavior, my task of undoing the learned behavior would be a tedious one.
“Please stop doing that. I want you to respect me by calling me Corpsy, ‘kay.” I pleaded with my genuine smile, both of them attempting to bow again. Catching their foreheads, enough was enough. Parting my lips to speak several times, my expression softening further. Pushing them back into the attention position, they needed to let their guard down. What do you say to a couple of traumatized individuals?
“I don’t bite unless I have to.” I promised them with a hearty chuckle, the edge coming off of their expressions. “Let’s go kill some zombies my pals kept contained for me. Splattered brains and skulls will feel like confetti at this point.” Rolling the transportation spell ball in my palm, a drop of my blood was all I needed. Extending my claws, the tips sank into the tender flesh of my palm. Blood coated my palm, the clear ball glowing to life. Clinging to my arms, a blinding light whisked us to an abandoned city. Fussing with my simple black tank top and cargo pants, this environment had me twisting my waves into neat french braids. Decaying skyscrapers towered over us, every building seeming to be a new level. Chewing on her lips, Saly had true fear in her eyes. Sniffing the air, the remains of a curse had me thinking a witch was in charge here. The true question was where was she, ghastly groans rang out from all around us. Rotting corpses at varying points of decay limped out, the smell sickening the three of us. Spinning on my heels, Saly and Travy waited patiently for orders.
“We are going to slice our way to a necromancer and execute her. If I am correct, we might even get some clues relating to your mother’s plans with Stormana. Sounds great?” Shooting me shaky thumbs up, a kick had my dagger into my eager palm. Extending my blade to its full length, the fun was set to begin. Remembering that Roseworth asked me to do this a while back, she would be proud of me. Spinning their blades in their palms, sly grins illuminated their features. Croak’s smile flashed in my mind, an arrow striking my heart. Croak had been my friend in the dark, the silence killing me every time I hopped into the hearse. Swinging away, heads rolled to my feet. Lightning crackled along the cars, Travy pointing to the closest skyscraper. Leaping over the zombies, shadow snakes slithered down my arms. Sending them out to find the necromancer, Saly pushed me into the glass doors. Locking the doors behind us, eyes glowed around us. Ordering them to shut down their lightning, too much power could bring the building down on us. Rubble covering us was the last thing we needed in this mission, the girls flashing me pleading looks.
“We need to get to the rooftop and get off the ground.” I ordered with a tired smile, my team members nodding with eager grins. “Cut your way to the stairs.” Moonlight bathed the lobby, color draining from my face. A thousand corpses surrounded us, the three of us standing back to back. Admiration burned in their eyes, an honest smile curling on our lips. Three stairwells seemed to hide from us, my snakes slithered over the sea of feet to tell me where our target was. Brushing against my arms on the way up, their hisses told me that she was several buildings away. Whipping their heads towards the clearest path, the twins picked up on it. Covering each other, sludgy black painted our faces with every swing. Jumping over the dropping bodies, relief flooded from our lips upon contact with the first step of the stairs. Three zombies lingered on the next landing, their lack of brains preventing them from going down the stairs. Sending Saly ahead, her skirt floated up with every swing. Crashing up the stairs, the grunting noises soon became the background soundtrack with every second closer to the rooftop. Kicking the door open, harsh air nipped at my cheeks. Black ash drifted like snow, the ash reminding me of a Gothic blizzard. Asking my snakes where to go next, their tails pointed towards the skyscraper twenty feet away from me. Backing up to the edge, our feet pounded together across the helicopter pad. Pushing off the edge, a quiet terror dimmed my eyes at the foul stench blowing my braids about. Landing gracefully, the endless sea of zombies on the streets had me shuddering. Leaping from rooftop to rooftop, a couple of hisses had me stopping at the rooftop of an art deco skyscraper. Massaging my forehead, we needed to get in. The usual growls and snarls had us shifting our attention to changed zombies, something seeming off. Cocking my head to the left, horror rounded my eyes at the chains holding them groaning in protest. Nudging my comrades, their terrified eyes met mine. Time for them to let some frustration loose.
“Cut them down before we have an issue.” I whispered loud enough for them to hear and for them to hear alone. Flipping over to the poor souls, lightning bounced off of their blades. Watching them work like a well oiled machine, the image of Croak’s smile in the early morning light had tears welling up in my eyes. A chill ran up my spine, the energy shifting. Glancing up, storm clouds rumbled to life, heavy rain washing the blood and guts off of us. The door into the building clicked open, caution giving me honest hesitation. Urging me to move ahead, it was almost as if I could hear Croak. Hollow footfalls thumped up the stairs, the color drained from my cheeks at a rotting Croak reaching out for me. Opening her mouth, maggots splattered onto the concrete of the rooftop. Stumbling back, the twins caught me before I fell off the roof.
“What’s the matter, love?” She inquired in a gritty tone, her sweet smile sickening me. “Don’t you want to hug me? You did get me killed after all.” Inky splotches dotted my trembling hand, the rain darkening to demon blood. Violent sobs mixed with shortened breaths, my heart seconds from beating out of its chest. Struggling to find any air, her hollow footfalls thumped closer to me. Pausing in front of me, her hands cupped my face. Raising her foot slowly, she kicked us off the roof. Zooming towards the sea of hungry zombies, a numbness came over my face. My comrades begged for me to snap out of it, Croak shifting into a woman with a golden silky bob. Violet eyes twinkled with malice, her spike covered leather dress matching flawlessly to her combat boots. A silver staff glittered in her palm, the skull resting on a carved bone handle. Snapping awake at her chanting, a pool on the roof of one of the other buildings caught my eyes. Building shadow energy at the tip of my blade, a flick of wrist smashed the skyscraper into smithereens. Using the energy to send me back up closer to her, the twins grinned ear to ear at the water flooding the streets. A jolting experience was scheduled for her friends.
“Get the necromancer. We have a shocking gift to jolt those souls awake.” Travy giggled maniacally, her sister joining in with giggles. Smashing more skyscrapers around us, the water flowed like a wild river. Kicking me closer, my trembling fingers snagged on the edge. Lightning lit up the stormy sky, Saly and Tavy winking as they slammed the tip of their blades into a metal skyscraper’s roof. Showing me their rubber boots, pride glistened in their eyes. Pulling myself up with a gruff grunt, a snarl met my broken but defiant smile. Shaking off my fraying nerves, the base of my anxiety remained. Spinning my blade in my palm, the necromancer tapped her staff on the rooftop. A straight blade the size of mine cut my cheek with its expansion, haughty laughter tumbling off her slick tongue. Bad guys needed to calm down with the cockiness, my eyes rolling at her next outburst of frustration.
“Why must you be so insistent!” She growled through gritted teeth, my fingers playing numbly with the cut on my cheek. “Wake up and fight me.” Her chest puffed up and down, frustration darkening her eyes. Rolling my eyes, someone thought highly of themselves. Snapping my head in her direction, an iciness came over me. No one called me out without having their flaws being pointed out as well.
“Fuck you for that trick. Clearly you don’t have a conscience. How many people had to suffer for you to play your stupid game?” I snarled bitterly, a shadow growing behind me. “We let you play for a little too long. Time for you to die.” Charging at each other, sparks danced in the air with every violent clash. Everything doubled, her head cocking to the left creepily. Smashing her fist into my stomach, a splash of blood exploded from my mouth. Sinking to my knees, several organs had burst. Struggling to my feet, she wasn’t going to win. No! This nuisance wasn't going to survive my retaliation.
“Give up already. Your boss left me unchecked for way too long.” She bragged with a Cheshire Cat grin, my hand holding my stomach. Wheezing through the raw agony, my blade trembled uncontrollably. Leaning onto my blade, her hit had some spice to it. Screw her for breaking my insides!
“Never. I would lay down my life the world. Not to be a bitch but you are pissing me off.” I wheezed between words, more blood pouring from the corner of my mouth. “Don’t act all high and mighty with that fucking bullshit that you believe. The dead should stay dead.” Shivering as I raised my blade, my blood painted her face. Slapping my cheek to get myself to focus, shadow snakes hissed to life around me. Swinging her blade towards my head, sparks danced in the air with the violent clash. Pushing her back, the puddle of blood splashed around my feet as I crashed into her building. Sliding down the railing, my feet touched a plush carpet. Spicy wit would have to be my friend, Croak’s real energy raising the hair on the back of my neck. Opening the door, her translucent form sat on the bed. Locking the door behind me, the building rattled. Burying her spirit into a hug, my tears cascaded down her form. Releasing her, her cold thumbs wiped away my tears. Wishing that I didn't have to leave her, too many words bounced around the tip of my tongue.
“Why are you here and not in Heaven?” I asked feverishly, holding her hands like my life depended on it. “Please tell me that you didn’t come here to draw me here.” Averting her gaze to the golden wall, the door began to rattle violently. Cupping my face, the words couldn’t come to her lips. Shaking like a leaf, this couldn’t be real. Speak! Speak, damn it! What I wouldn't do to hear her voice one more time.
“I was stolen from Heaven to this bloody place. Can you free me one last time? There is a deal I made and it has not been fulfilled yet.” She wept dejectedly, my heart breaking for her. “You look like you are doing alright, love.” Uncontrollable sobs wracked my body at how she spoke the word love, the door bursting open. Rising to my feet with a true defiant grin on a determined face, her reign of terror was over. Spinning my blade over my head, the twins paused in the doorway.
“I burn everything you created for what you have done!” I wheezed once more with tears hitting the carpet, hating her for everything she stole from everyone. “You stole someone important from me. Croak was like a fucking goddamn sister to me and you denied her happiness. Fuck you! Get to safety, you fucking idiots!” Running towards the window, lightning lit up the room as they ran down the building. Hoping that survived this, something told me that I might not make it.
“What are you planning to do?” She questioned icily, Croak standing up behind me. “She was easy to capture on the way up. Maybe I wanted to get the bounty on your head by the dark gods. Who wouldn’t want immortality?” Was that really the prize over my head?
“At least it's a steep bounty.” I retorted sarcastically, the corner of lip twitching into a half-smirk. “You wouldn’t be the first person who wants my head on a wall. Too bad I don’t fucking care. Time to bring the big guns.” Shadowy snakes held her in place, her blade rolling over to my feet. My patience had worn thin, my hands picking up her staff. Snapping it in half, it melted into a puddle of boiling hot silver. Panic rounded her eyes, her sinister grin fading for but a second.
“I don’t usually break out my fire powers because the damage is immense.” I growled through gritted teeth, black flames crackling to life as I marched towards her. “Look at you getting the special treatment. Shrinking my blade down to dagger form, black flames devoured my hand. Slamming it into her chest, my fingers curled around her heart. Extending my claws into the tissue, her fingernails scratched at my arm. Shrill shrieks pierced my ears, flames cooking her from the inside. Burning to a pile of blackened ash, Croak covered her mouth. Collapsing to the floor, my muscles had chosen to give out at the worst possible moment. Cursing under my breath, the building groaned in protest. Every attempt to move had me crying into the carpet, Croak begging for me to get up. Shaking my head, every muscle refused to comply with my desire to rise to my feet.
“I can’t.” I snapped into the carpet, my own blood pooling around me. “I used up all of my juice. Be a pal and stay by my side. You know, for old times’ sake.” Coughing up more blood, my claws dug into the floor. Images of Miles running around with my girls had me smiling to myself. Must life always flash before one's eyes. Croak plopped down next to me, her hand taking mine. Tavy and Saly skidded in, Tavy tossing me over her shoulder. Hating for a second that I was going to survive, my hand reached for Croak. Holding on for a second, her warmth felt like her embrace.
“I am not letting you die today, boss.” She chirped cheerfully, tucking my dagger into its case. “Sal, cover our asses.” Sprinting down the halls, Croak waving as she rounded the corner. Watching her spirit float into the sky, silent tears cascaded from my eyes. Letting them rip me from one of the only friends I had ever had, time slowed as they leapt into the crashing waves. Keeping me above the waves, black flames devoured every building. Debris whistled over my head, the lost souls floating into the sky. A wave of exhaustion crashed over me, a rough darkness stealing me away.
Groaning awake on a sandy beach, my wounds had been repaired. The empty vials shimmered next to me, a migraine throbbing to life. Tavy was cursing tersely over a fire that wouldn’t start while Saly struggled with a makeshift fishing pole. A fit of laughter exploded from my lips, a wry smile lingering on my lips. Fishing around my pockets while they rushed over to fret over me, their mother taught them nothing about survival. Sitting up with another groan, the pile of rubble had me tearing up for the millionth time. Stop crying was all I could yell at myself. Plucking my phone from my pocket, the waterproof case had it working. Dialing Morte’s number, he would get the coordinates and come get us. Getting the answering machine, a low growl rumbled in my throat. Rising to my feet, the trees blurred. Running up to me, my palms caught their foreheads before they could bow.
“Treat me like a friend, not a tyrant.” I spoke warmly, the girls straightening up. “Let’s go home. There might be a town not far from her. Dusting off my outfit, I buttoned up the leather jacket to hide the bloody tank top. Undoing my braids, perfect waves floated around my shoulders. Flaking the dried blood off of my face as we hiked, a small town with a single gas station came into view. Spinning on my heels, they shot me a thumbs up. Walking casually into the gas station, colorful snacks lined the shelves. Grabbing a ginger ale on the way to the counter, Tavy slid a couple of candy bars onto the gaudy counter covered in different lighters. Of course, they were hungry. How could I forget?
“Excuse me sir but you know where we are? Our car ran off the road and my cell phone broke in the accident.” I choked out with fresh tears in my eyes, the twins matching my energy. “I need to call a tow truck and I need to know what town we are in.” Sliding over his phone, he gave some a common town name in the United States. Leaving us in privacy, he wouldn’t accept our money. Pretending to dial a number, I hung up and left a wet twenty on the table. Cracking open my soda on the way out, the cool liquid felt nice going down my throat. Turning to face them, a plan had to be formed. Please don't be a daft one.
“You can’t transport or anything?” One of them asked cautiously, my eyebrow twitching at the question. Transportation was out of the question right now with my lack of powers, neither of them needing to know that. Walking into a small park, the early afternoon sun painted the water a nice purple. Dialing my phone again, Morte didn’t pick up. What the hell was he doing? Dialing Wut, he didn’t pick up. Why wasn't anyone picking up!
“Pick up the damn phone, you idiots!” I shouted out of the blue, the others jumping ten feet into the air. “Sorry, my bed is calling me.” Yawning groggily, every muscle in my body ached fiercely. Typing in ways to get home, a bus station wasn’t too far from here. Checking my wallet, I had enough for three tickets home. Marching over to the bus station, the elderly clerk looked me up and down before accepting my money. Sliding over our tickets, the strangers shot us odd looks as we sank into the seats in the back. Trees turned into buildings and back into trees, the four hour bus ride giving me plenty of time to fume. Parking on the edge of the town of my business, another hour passed before I kicked open the door. Everyone looked up, Morte’s damn phone was in a bag of rice. How the hell did that freaking happen?
“Who the hell didn’t pick us up!” I roared thunderously, Morte putting his hands in the air. “I have been calling and calling! I needed someone to talk to. Fuck all of you!” Stomping upstairs to get changed, a new dress waited for me with Roseworth sitting on the bed in one of her usual onyx lace dresses. Folding my arms across my chest, it was her fault I didn’t have a return spell. Who sends someone on a mission without a way back!
“I solved your fucking problem!” I spat viciously, fighting another wave of tears. “Death almost claimed me again. I understand that it needed to be done but I have one damn question! Did you know that Croak was there? Is that why you sent me? That was a freaking joke and cruel at best. I loved her like a sister.” Covering my mouth, tears dripped off of my hands. It hurt to say that out loud, a bit of shame dimming my eyes for a second. No, an explanation was deserved.
“As long as I have lived I have never ever been put through so much mental pain! If you want to continue to be in my life, then secrets don’t exist! Am I understood?” I continued hotly, the guilt in her eyes softening my expression. “Sorry for yelling. I have had a rough day. What’s with the dress anyway?” Bowing her head while collecting herself, a bright smile met my busted expression. Shit, did I go too far again?
“We were going to surprise you for your birthday and our phones all got dropped in water. That is why we didn’t pick up.” She admitted with wet eyes, the guilt creeping in from my outburst. “I did know but I thought you could see her one last time. Sorry for trying to help a grieving sister. I don’t have much either now. All I have is my nieces and you.” Plopping down next to her, my arms buried her into a bear hug. Apologizing profusely, her emotions soaked my shirt. Holding her until the tears dried up, my hand cupped her cheek. The good intentions canceled any rage.
“Thank you so much.” I mumbled with another sad smile, rising from the bed to get changed into the lovely emerald dress. “I love you like a sister as well.” Snatching the dress off of the bed, the reflection in the mirror had me shrinking back. A zombie would have looked better, the door creaking open as I cleaned up a bit. Morte poked his head in, my eyes refusing to meet his. Hating that I lost on him, he must despise me.
“I would have gotten you if my phone was working. I am sorry.” He apologized sincerely, helping me take off my filthy clothes. Sure, everyone really seemed sorry. Maybe I was sick of hearing the word. Helping me get my dress on, the zipper went right up. Tracing the black lace covering the fifties style dress, Morte spun me around to face him. Lifting up my chin, his crooked grin made my day a bit better. Kissing my lips tenderly, my face was still puffy as hell. Lost between a state of panic and euphoria, the combination had a sickening effect.
“You have never looked more beautiful.” He sang with his natural smile, my heart fluttering. “The kids wanted to throw you a surprise party so act surprised.” Uttering a single yes, he offered me his elbow. Sliding on my boots on the way out, we paused in front of the living room door. Opening up the door, everyone shouted surprise. Donning my genuine smile, the girls and Miles smashed into my legs. Thanking them with a flurry of feverish kisses, their smiles couldn’t be any bigger. A bit of life returned to my eyes, my kids giving the flames of hope another boost.

Whale watching in Brisbane is one of the best parts! Unlike other places in Australia, Brisbane's whale watching is unique. Imagine sandy dunes, shipwrecks, and beautiful beaches as the backdrop to seeing whales. That's right, it might seem like a fantasy!
Chasing the Whales in Brisbane
When it comes to whale watching in Brisbane, one of the best-known spots is Moreton Bay, which lies just off the coast and is easily accessible from the city. Moreton Island is mostly covered by Moreton National Park. It has great beaches where you can enjoy calm waters or surfing. It is also a critical resting and feeding area for humpback whales during their annual migration. They pass through these waters, often breaching and displaying their playful behaviors close to the coastline. Redcliffe, a coastal area near Brisbane, offers a fantastic opportunity for whale watching. Here, you can witness the annual migration of majestic whales along the Australian coastline. It's also a picturesque area where you can embark on boat tours specifically designed for whale watching excursions. whale-watching in Redcliffe includes guided tours from Redcliffe Peninsula, providing a unique opportunity to witness the migratory journey of these whales up close. The tours not only offer the chance to spot these marine giants but also showcase the natural beauty of the surrounding coastline and Moreton Bay Marine Park. One of the highlights of whale watching in Redcliffe is the chance to see not only humpback whales but also other species such as dolphins, sea turtles, and various seabirds. The experienced guides on these tours provide insights into the behavior and biology of the whales while emphasizing the importance of marine conservation.
Tourists flock to Brisbane for whale watching because of the diverse options available during the whale-watching season, which runs from June to November. This period is considered the best time to visit because it coincides with the annual migration of humpback whales along the Australian coastline. Also, during these months, the waters around Brisbane, including Redcliffe, become bustling with these marine wonders! Moreover, the cruises here are simply epic! Unlike leisure cruises, whale watching tours involve actively searching for whale sightings, making them an exciting and educational adventure for tourists. Some tours even let you swim with dolphins or snorkel, adding excitement to your adventure. After the tour, explore scenic spots along Brisbane's coastline, like North Stradbroke Island or Redcliffe, known for their beauty. From half-day tours for a quick getaway to full-day excursions that immerse you in the experience, Brisbane has got it all! So, if you want a thrilling chase - you know where to go now!

2024.05.17 06:38 Leading-Secret-9933 Third story (scroll down if you don't know what im yappin about)(*WARNING* This is the longest one ive done so far you'll be here a while if you read it)

_ _ _ _ _
Impact and introduction
_ _ _ _ _
His first thoughts about his little predicament were that it was nothing like the anime he’d watched.
Finding yourself suddenly free falling from hundreds of thousands of feet in the sky was significantly more terrifying than it had seemed while cozied up in his bed, wrapped up in three-plus blankets and contently slurping his microwave ramen.
That said, he felt justified in screaming like a little girl. “Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit!” What was happening? Where was he? He had just stepped out of his house for a ramen run at the nearest gas station, and now this was happening. Great, just great, now he wasn’t going to be able to watch anymore anime- he stopped suddenly. “Oh, of course,” he muttered to himself, “That’s what’s going on here.” He was suddenly as stoic as a knight in shining armor as he plummeted through the sky, and he pushed the slightly problematic matter of falling out of his mind and focused on what would be important: His story. First: his name was Caen Eloso. He came from a strange other world with wondrous technology that left nothing to the imagination. Caen was what was in his third year at his school, Hansen Academy High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where teenagers his age were taught arithmetic, science and language punctuation before they went off into the world on their own. Colorado was one of fifty individually operating states in his home country called America, which was home to more than three hundred million people and overseen by a President.. America was located on one of 7 continents in his world, called Earth. There were a great many other countries besides America, of which he knew varying amounts about their cultures that he could give little tidbits of information about, but he figured he knew the most about Japan. Japan was basically heaven. The Japanese people were responsible for creating the best possible thing that his world had to offer, a wondrous thing called anime. He had dedicated his life to exploring every nook and cranny that was connected to the world of anime, and there was nothing that brought him more happiness than binging.
However, he figured he oughta remember some cooler stuff about Earth (he couldn’t really expect many people to weeb out with his stories without watching anime in person) if he ever found himself in a tight spot and needed to, say, entertain a dragon or something. Because…
He was ninety-nine percent sure that he had just been isekai’d.

That’s why, while plummeting to what seemed to be his inevitable doom, he kept a level head. Ignoring the previous screaming-like-a-five-year-old fit. Because, of course, anyone that was summoned to another world via falling from the sky always survived; it was kind of a given, otherwise the story wouldn’t get anywhere, duh. Whether it be due to some miraculous vitality, impossible superpowers, a one-time “safe-landing” provided by the dude that summoned them, or (and what he personally was hoping for) a rescue from some either super-shy or super-pissy elf hottie in possession of a huge rack… of swords, you pervert, that dressed in some skimpy armor (that really would do nothing to protect the vital organs, from a defensive standpoint) and who would kick off the protagonist’s harem.
When he actually gave it thought, he realized he wasn’t really all that interested in a harem, and kinda found the thought of one IRL gross. Like, did he even have to explain? But he knew that if he’d said that in an online chat with one of his internet buddies, they would definitely try to overrun his laptop with viruses. In what was now his previous life, he had had little to no experience with talking to girls, let alone “getting some action”. He really hadn’t seen the point, considering how difficult 3D girls were to handle. That said, he never really got into the hardcore otaku-type 2D obsession stuff, like buying lewd figurines and pasting posters all over your room and buying body pillows of your favorite waifu. He was just a hardcore watcher, and that kind of made-up for his lack of other tendencies. He would frequently spend 12+ hours a day shacked up in his room in 6 hour sessions of binging anime at 1.5 times speed; (he wanted to get in as much watching as possible) and that was only on weekdays. Yeah. With school. (Needless to say his grades weren’t exactly top notch) But weekends were another story, with him usually staying up till four in the morning on Friday night and then sleeping until twelve, when he would wake up and choose whether or not to eat before watching until he was told to get off, and then stuffing his fat face in the kitchen to his heart’s content. The point was, he had originally decided he didn’t want to “waste time” on a girlfriend. (Not that he was exactly confident he would be on anyone's radar if he were to try)
Anyways, more and more, (before he found himself falling from the sky of his new world) Caen had found himself feeling lonelier and more depressed as time went by, and so, he decided that in his new life he was going to quit his otaku and introvert tendencies and find the love of his life in what was to be his new world. Quite the goal.
With his mind made up, (this was some relatively quick thinking given the situation; he’d been falling for about four and a half minutes before coming upon this decision and entirely giving up on his old world and everything he had loved in it) (Besides his love of anime) he realized something… interesting. He hadn’t noticed it due to being lost in thought and not being capable of feeling it (probably his magical protection or something that came with being summoned), but he was currently a ball of flame. If he had been wearing clothes earlier during his fall, and he hadn’t actually bothered to check because of his little fit, they were long since burnt to a crisp. Even though he was certain he had a grasp on the situation, he couldn’t stop himself from freaking out just a little bit, especially as he felt himself growing closer and closer to the ground. ‘Alright, you can rescue me now,’ he muttered to himself, though his words were lost to the wind. His eyes widened. He realized he was too fast, far too fast. This entry was apparently going to be very flashy, which he wasn’t against, but… He could hardly gauge distance before he had halved it. Twenty thousand feet, ten thousand feet, five thousand, he broke through low hanging cloud cover, two thousand.. He shut his eyes as tight as he could and pulled his limbs in tight while covering his ears to brace himself and-
Boom.

Learning to walk and not-squirrels
_ _ _ _ _
The sound of impact deafens him. He instantaneously loses awareness of anything else besides the sound, but somehow remains conscious, unaware of if he had completely shattered into a million billion pieces or not. For time out of mind he couldn’t move any part of himself. His ears ring and his head throbbed something awful. He could not conceive what would make him capable of surviving a fall like that. Then, slowly, ever so slowly, he opened an eye to gauge his surroundings…
He was in a crater. Caen had expected as much, but his jaw literally dropped in surprise, something he thought no one actually did. It was at least eight hundred feet from edge-to-edge and four hundred feet deep, the ground smoldering, red-hot and smoky, but surprisingly only warm where he lay (thank you, summoners). He must’ve stayed stagnant longer than he thought for it to have cooled enough to touch. He slowly pushed himself into a seated position, sitting on his right leg and letting his left arm rest on his left leg, which he had bent at the knee. He once again surveyed his crater by twisting his head around.
Quite the entrance. “I guess this fits into the one-time no fall damage category…” he muttered to himself, running his hand through his hair, making note that it was surprisingly silky. “Cause there’s no way this is a vitality thing, right? Way too overpowered.” For a minute he sat like that, until he realized that something was tugging on the back of his mind. At first he ignored it like he would a buzzing insect, but it kept poking at his subconscious. And then he was hit with it with as much force as when his sister sent him to Jupiter for accidentally breaking her new phone; that wasn’t his voice. ‘Huh?’ Neither was that. His eyes darted to the sides of his vision where it gently rested on the sides of his face. His hair. It was much, much longer than it was in his old world, reaching as far as to hang below his pecs. It was shiny and straight, and didn’t look like it had ever been cut. But that didn’t startle him as much as its color did.
Caen thought back to the fairy tales and stuff of his childhood, and about how they tended to over exaggerate the features of their characters and the objects in them so that the average kid could understand it better, with phrases like “as beautiful as a freshly-picked flower”, “as strong as a bull”, “as bright as the sun itself”, and “as white as snow”. Well, now he wasn’t so assuming that those were mere stories and not just incredible experiences from the writers, because he was witnessing something impossibly… beautiful. Because his hair was white. A stark white, with an almost silvery sheen to it. Like when you wake up the morning after a snowstorm and open your window to see if school is canceled, and the snow blinds you when you look at it because it's reflecting the morning sun. Beautiful. He quite literally couldn’t think of another word for it. Slowly, he reached up to touch it again, once again feeling the impossibly smooth sensation. It glided over his fingers like water. And then he saw the fingers of his hand. Long and slender, perfect and unblemished. He was dumbfounded. ‘Are these really… mine?’ he asked quietly with his new voice. ‘A new body was always possible, I suppose, but I thought if that were to happen I would first have to be reincarnated and grow up with it myself. Did this body… come into existence just for me when I got here? I would hate it if I kicked out someone's soul so mine could stay here or whatever.’ He stood shakily. He was tall. Taller than in his other life, where he’d stood at around five-ten, Caen figured he was now around six-two. And, what he found almost as shocking as his hair, was that he was fit. Or perhaps thin would be a better word, something he had never been before. His stomach felt strange to him as it no longer bulged, and when on a whim he attempted the stretches he wasn’t close to being capable of before, he did so with ease. He could reach his feet when he sat and stretched out his legs, and he could even easily touch his toes. He was in the middle of attempting to put his foot behind his head when he realized he should probably get a move on and get out of there. He guessed that he most likely looked like a meteor for any settlement within a few hundred miles of his crash site. He quickly tapped his foot on a particularly smoldery-looking piece of earth to test if he could withstand the heat like before. He once again found it to be only pleasantly warm. With that reassurance in mind, he decided to get himself out of the crater. That was, before he realized he’d need to learn to walk again. He fell hard and broke his fall with his arms. His muscles felt unused and unfamiliar, though the movement of his arms came more naturally than the rest. At first, his legs were very wobbly and his knees shook and moved sharply if he strained them too much or too little, causing them to buckle and him to fall and roll back down to the center of the crater when he tried to walk out. It didn’t help that it was a pretty consistently steep climb to the edge. He must have been at it for at least an hour. But the distance was good practice for him, and with a lot of rolling in the scorched earth he finally managed to get himself to the edge. The adjustment period wasn’t that awful, considering, and he felt he should be kind of proud for learning so quickly. (At least that's how he thought of it) He stood up on the rim of the crater to see exactly where he was. A pretty considerable distance away he could see trees ringing the crater site, and he decided that he had landed in a forest. The further away from the edge the less burnt and bent the trees were, from the shockwave that came with the force of the impact, he decided. He sat down, leaned back and let his feet rest on the decline of the crater. It was incredible. It felt like he’d just woken up after twelve hours of sleep, and his mind was buzzing with activity like he hadn’t experienced before. Everything was so fresh. He didn’t feel tired or winded at all, and he saw everything in vivid detail, even though all there was to see was the smoldering earth and the forest in the distance. He even tried breathing in deep with his nose, but all he got was burnt dirt and he started coughing from the smokiness of it. Despite this, he smiled. He hadn’t felt like this in ages, a thought he had believed was reserved for seventy-year-olds after getting their backs adjusted by a chiropractor. He jumped up, deciding that the first thing he should do would be to find a settlement of some sort, or at least a stream so that he could drink some water. He wasn’t particularly thirsty, but the thought of a cool liquid down his throat made him shiver. He also wanted to eat something, and decided to keep an eye out for nuts or berries in the forest that looked innocent enough. And so he started his trek. Soon he was walking on long, springy grass and gazing at all kinds of fauna that was surprisingly familiar. He couldn’t really see a difference in the trees or bushes at first, but when he plucked a leaf from the low hanging branch of a tree that looked like the one in his backyard, he saw that the pattern of the veins was definitely different, if not by much. He could at least tell that, since he had played under that tree when he was little. He also saw a lot of strange forest critters, and his heightened senses picked up on their presences like a radar. Soon there were dozens of them watching him from the trees, giving him a wide berth but for some reason following, so he still caught a few glances. Most had bushy tails and large ears with short whiskers on their little snouts, and tiny little heads that looked like those of baby foxes. The overwhelming majority were a sandy brown, but a few times he also saw one that looked blue and one that looked red, and even one that was pink, but these were always directly in the shadows of the trees and bushes and would dart away as soon as he tried for a closer look. A different species that looked like a miniature boar no larger than a bowling ball, complete with tusks, a stubby tail and hooves, trotted directly trotted directly through his path with its head held high in what looked like a show of contempt before disappearing into a bush. It was totally adorable and he regretted not trying to pick it up before it had disappeared. He winced internally as he thought of how many of these balls of fluff were incinerated in his landing. Slowly, as he trekked on, the creatures became more and more daring, darting past him and soon getting in his full view shamelessly, but they didn’t seem to have any ill intent, so he really didn’t mind. At least, they didn’t look predatory. (though he inwardly didn’t trust that idea from his knowledge of anime) Suddenly, one that was much larger than the others, probably the pack leader, scurried directly in front of him and stood on its short hind legs, its arms drawn together. It was similar to the way squirrels “stood”. Caen paused mid-step. It had some sort of presence, and its pose seemed to indicate that it wanted him to sit down so they could have a conversation. Unlike the other not-squirrels, (as he decided to temporarily call them) this one’s coat looked much fluffier and was a rich, chocolate brown, and its ears had white tufts at the ends. Its tail twitched and he also noticed that towards the tip of it the hair was also white. It gave off some sort of aura. Caen crouched. ‘Hey there, little guy. What can I do for you?’ He asked in the same voice he would use for a cute dog or other friendly animal. It tilted its head and he had to stop himself from launching at it in a surprise hug attack. It stared at him for a little longer. Then, out of nowhere, it beckoned to him with a little arm, turned, and started running off. For a second, Caen stayed crouched, dumbfounded at what he’d just witnessed, until dozens of the hiding squirrels started running in the same direction as the big one. He shook it off and decided this was supposed to be his first big event in his story, and so he started sprinting after it, because these little guys were speedy. He ran for more than ten minutes, almost losing track of the pack until he caught glimpses of a bushy tail or fluffy ears that kept him on their trail. Since his endurance was off the charts now, he actually enjoyed the chase, and took the opportunity to breathe in the rich forest aroma as he ran. Soon, he broke out into a small clearing, where he saw the leader “standing” beside the mouth of a cave. The once again shy not-squirrels all hid in the trees and bushes that surrounded the clearing, and all he could see were their cute little button eyes glimmering in the leaves. There must have been hundreds of them. He hesitatingly walked over to the giant not-squirrel (because that was what it was in comparison) and crouched down again. ‘Do you want me to go inside there?’ He asked, pointing at the cave, and turning his gaze to the eyes of the creature. It stared at him uncomprehendingly, its black eyes giving no indication of some great intelligence that secretly lurked. He sighed. ‘Might as well,’ he muttered, walking over the cave entrance. It was as dark as one would imagine, but there appeared to be a faint candle light of sorts dancing on the walls around a bend about a hundred feet in. It also smelled heavily like some sort of crushed herb he was unfamiliar with. It almost overshadowed the rancid smell of rotting flesh. He narrowed his eyes at the giant not-squirrel and the rest of the pack hiding in the bushes before walking in. There was definitely something alive in here, and from the smell, it or they were dying.
_ _ _ _ _
Elf hotties and magic
_ _ _ _ _
The further into the cave he went, the more overwhelming the stench of death became. Caen gave himself a second to regain his composure, then covered his nose as he turned the bend. His eyes widened in shock. A pretty girl with silver hair and sharply tipped ears lay upon a bed of leaves, naked save several fern leaves that provided her the barest of modesty. Her form was softly illuminated by several low burning candles that framed her. A singular giant fern rested on her stomach, covering where James guessed the mortal wound was inflicted. Her eyes were closed and she breathed shallowly, and sweat was beaded all over her body. The different colored not-squirrels he had seen earlier were all gathered there, watching her intently, but quickly turned their heads as they heard his bare feet shuffling on the stone floor. All three of them were there, the red, blue, and pink furred not-squirrels, as well as a green one that he hadn’t seen before. They stared at him for several seconds before all but the green not-squirrels scurried behind him. The green one leaned its head down and seemed to whisper something in the ear of the elf. Caen’s world slowed. Her eyes crept open, a rich, deep purple that seemed to shimmer with silver dust like stars. She ever so slightly turned her head to look at the not-squirrel questioningly, and then her gaze drifted to Caen. As their eyes met, he felt a shiver and a volt of electricity passed invisibly between them through their gaze. Her eyes widened with what looked like disbelief, and she smiled at him ever so softly. Caen felt entranced. There was something special about this girl, something so very special, and he felt a stirring in his chest that made his stomach twinge, but not unpleasantly. She beckoned to him with a finger and he slowly approached her and knelt. Those few steps, with her eyes fixated on his, and his on hers, felt like eternity, and he couldn’t break the gaze if he wanted. ‘Greetings, White One.’ She said softly, still not breaking eye contact. Her voice sounded as though it were made to sing. ‘I apologize… I… was meant to be there to greet you upon your arrival. The best I could manage was providing you a safe entrance from the heavens.’ She said sadly, and a tear welled up in the corner of her eye. He hesitatingly reached out a hand and cupped her face, gently wiping away the tear with his thumb. She shouldn’t cry. He knew that, somehow, that it was wrong, that she shouldn’t ever have to experience sadness like that. She breathed in sharply at his touch, and then her gaze softened. ‘Who… are you?’ He asked quietly. She smiled sadly and tears flowed freely on the back of his hand. ‘Unfortunately, I don’t have the leisure to cry with you. I am glad that my friends were able to escort you here and provide you with safe company, for the forest is a very dangerous place, but… more than that, I am glad that I was able to see you… at… least once…’
Her eyes drifted closed. He quickly grabbed her arm and was hugely relieved to find a pulse, ever so faint.
She is so close to death, White One.
She has been holding out so that she could meet you, White One.
She has been waiting so very long for you, White One.
She spent what little mana she had left providing you safe entry into our world, White one.
These sweet-sounding voices echoed in his mind, though all of melancholy tone. He slowly stood and turned to face the not-squirrels.
Please save our Silver Lady, White One.
This voice was deep and strained with pain and suffering. In front of him stood the pack leader. He sat just in front of the other four not-squirrels, all mimicking his position. All Caen could do was nod, even though he was dazed and had no idea how he would be able to help her at all. ‘Show me the wound.’ he declared in a voice that sounded much more confident than he felt.
The four different colored not-squirrels glanced at the leader, and, the words still echoing inside of Caen’s mind like before, he said, ‘Do as the White One proclaims.’ They unhesitatingly scurried to their “Silver Lady” and carefully removed the large fern. Caen did not react how he thought he would. He saw it and his body shook, but not with disgust, or surprise, or horror, but with rage. He clenched his fists and the muscles in his arms grew taut as his fingernails dug into his palms. Her stomach had been ferociously torn open, revealing a sight that was best kept undescribed. His voice shook with power as he spat, “Who… Who did this… to her?”
His head snapped to the not-squirrel leader, his wild, hateful eyes boring into the creature. “We do not know, White One,

2024.05.16 17:12 ManagerDense158 They know they’re the problem.

Narcissistic people don’t know that they are the problem
Narcissists are masters of destroying or sabotaging their own relationships. This is one of the reasons it’s not possible to make them happy.
This sabotage is driven by 3 key factors:
The lack of whole object relations and object constancy The need for narcissistic supply The need to preserve their idealized self, their persona The lack of whole object relations and object constancy.
The narcissist does not have the ability to see all of you at one time. They see you as “all good” or “all bad.” They also don’t have the ability to remain positive about your relationship during a challenge or a setback. They assume it is over.
For this reason, the narcissist will do or say things when they see you as “all bad” that are harmful to the relationship.
They will…
Say something so cruel that things will never be the same Reveal your deepest secrets Destroy something of importance to you Cheat on you As soon as they flip back into seeing you as “all good,” which can happen quickly, they do not remember ever feeling you were “all bad.” They cannot fathom having done or said anything hurtful because they “never felt that way.”
This is when you’ll hear…
That never happened I would never say that to you! That doesn’t sound like me They have sabotaged the relationship for both of you.
The need for narcissistic supply.
The need for narcissistic supply is so strong, it supersedes all else.
Remember, a narcissist gleans supply in 2 ways:
Ingratiation: admiration, praise, respect, validation, positive attention Grandiosity: Gaining power and control by devaluing others The narcissist will…
Ruin their laundry by leaving a pen in their pocket, just to ruin yours Get fired, decreasing discretionary family income, for attention Continue to blatantly lie, when you’ve told them you’ll leave if it happens again The need to preserve their idealized self, their persona.
The narcissist needs street cred with their flying monkeys. They will do things that sabotage their relationship just to preserve their image. (Picture Danny Zuko when he runs into Sandy at the pep rally in Grease.)
They also need to reinforce this image for themselves.
The narcissist will…
Demean you in public, to look powerful Flirt with younger, attractive people to look more attractive Transfer finances into their name to be in control When their persona includes being a victim, they will sabotage themselves just to have more victim stories.
The narcissist will…
Take a pic while driving, then post it publicly, just so they aren’t considered safe to drive their kids Be physically aggressive with the kids, so they have supervised contact only Spend all of their money, so they can be broke But is it actually sabotage?
Or instead, is the narcissist getting exactly what they need?
While it appears that the narcissist has ruined their day, their financial security, their relationship with their kids, the narcissist has actually secured narcissistic supply. That’s their primary need.
The narcissist has gotten exactly what they wanted.
