Dear Summoners War Gamers,
After 9 long years I understand that many of you are feeling upset and frustrated with the rates of Light and Dark Scrolls in the game. It can be disheartening to invest your time, effort, and resources into summoning these rare and elusive monsters, only to be met with disappointment. I want you to know that your emotions are valid, and it's important to express your concerns and desires for change.
Summoners War has brought us together as a community, united by our love for the game and the thrill of summoning powerful monsters. But it's also crucial to remember that games, like any form of entertainment, can sometimes be a source of frustration. However, it is during these moments of challenge that we have the opportunity to grow, both as players and as a community.
I encourage you to channel your emotions into productive actions. Instead of resorting to boycotting or rioting, let us come together and communicate our concerns in a respectful and constructive manner. Com2us, the developers of Summoners War, have shown themselves to be responsive to player feedback in the past. They can value our opinions and are continuously working to improve the game and let it live.
Rather than demanding immediate change, let us propose a solution that could address our concerns. A pity system, as many mentioned and is a common feature used in the Genre, could be a viable option. This system would ensure that after a certain number of unsuccessful Light and Dark Scrolls summons, players are guaranteed a rare monster from that category. By implementing a pity system, Com2us would not only demonstrate their commitment to player satisfaction but also encourage a more balanced and rewarding gameplay experience. They wouldnt even loose income, as i am sure many of us would spend some dollars here and there when we know we're close to that beautiful lightning we all want.
Remember, we are a community, and change often comes from within. Let us rally together, voice our concerns, and propose solutions that align with our shared goal of a more enjoyable Summoners War experience. Engage in constructive discussions, share your thoughts on official forums, social media platforms, and with Com2us directly via the 1:1 inquiry ingame.
Lastly, do not lose hope or give up. The journey of a summoner is filled with highs and lows, but it's the persistence and determination that make us strong. Keep fighting, keep summoning, and keep supporting one another. Together, we can inspire change and shape the future of Summoners War.
May your runes be swift, your monsters mighty, and your spirits unyielding.
Sincerely, A Fellow Summoner

2023.06.02 00:37 unibods Trump Thursday - Death penalty

From video:
"For three decades before my election, drug overdose deaths increased every single year. Under my leadership, we took the drug and fentanyl crisis head on, and we achieved the first reduction in overdose deaths in more than 30 years. I also proudly signed the Support Act, the largest investment ever in combating the opioid epidemic.
Sadly, under Joe Biden, our hard-won progress has been surrendered along with the surrender of our southern border. It's such a shame. Now fentanyl and other ultra-deadly poisons are pouring into our country unchecked, stealing more than 100,000 American lives every single year, and many people think that real number is 3 to 400,000. Joe Biden's record is one of death, destruction, and misery in communities all across our nation.
When I'm back in the White House, I will take action on day one to end this horrific plague and save American lives. Joe Biden will never solve the drug overdose crisis because he is actively destroying our border.
[The following paragraph starts out like that, goes nowhere. - unibods]
What he has done to our border, we had the safest border in the history of our country, and now we have the worst border, probably anywhere in the world, including third-world countries.
That's why I have previously announced I will impose a full naval embargo on the drug cartels and deploy military assets to inflict maximum damage on cartel operations. I will insist on the full cooperation of neighboring governments to dismantle the trafficking and smuggling networks in our region, and I will ask Congress to ensure that drug dealers, kingpins, and human traffickers receive the death penalty.
At the same time, I will direct federal law enforcement here in the United States to take down the gangs and organized street crime that distribute these deadly narcotics on a local level. They are killing our people. They are poisoning our beautiful children. I will permanently designate fentanyl as a federally controlled substance, and I will tell China that if they do not clamp down on the export of fentanyl's chemical precursors, they will pay a steep price.
I had a deal worked out with President Xi. They weren't going to be sending anymore, and they were going to impose the death penalty on those that made it in China. But with a rigged election, that ended. Attacking the supply of these deadly drugs will be just the beginning. We must also do more to end the scourge of addiction here at home. Among the most important steps we can take is to strengthen the pillars that give life, meaning, and hope for those struggling with addiction, particular work, faith, and family. We need work, faith, and family.
My administration will support measures to make it easier for those suffering from addiction to seek treatment without losing their jobs. We will forge new public-private partnerships for companies willing to provide job opportunities and skills training for former addicts. We will expand federal support for faith-based counseling, treatment, and recovery programs, recognizing that we are going to need God's help to steer our country out of this crisis.
Finally, we will ensure that if a parent-child spouse or other relative needs to take time to care for a loved one fighting to overcome addiction, they are more easily able to take advantage of the family leave program. So important. When I'm President, we will not rest until we have ended the drug addiction crisis in America, we will win. It will happen. We have to win, though, in 2024, because our country is going to hell. Thank you."

Guys I need help, iam confused
Male 22 years old Hello guys first I want to apologize for this long text, also English is not my native language but I have something on my heart that bothers me a lot and I need answers...
I started texting occasionally (for 1 month) with this girl who I met on a dating app, first none of us took it seriously we sometimes answered to texts a few days later.... After a while we started texting more frequently and I asked her if she wanted to meet on the weekend, she told me she had already something planned (which was not sure) and that she will text me in the following days to tell me if she had time. A few days later she told me that she had time on afternoon, so we made plans and she told me if it started raining we could go to her flat (she lives alone) She said that she had no bad intentions she just did not want Rain to ruin our first date because I have an hour to drive there.
So I drove there on Saturday(without any expectations), I came 15 minutes late because of traffic, she was already in front of the door waiting for me. My heart immediately skipped a beat because she was very beautiful and I never had somebody keep so much eye contact (usually iam the one with very long eye contact) so we started walking had a very good chat and after one or two hours it started raining lightly so we got back to her flat, where we had very very deep talk, later we played some Mario kart on her bed. At this point I was very nervous because we were laying next to each other and having a lot of eye contact. After a while we stopped playing and she showed me her books at this point I have had build up the courage to finally kiss her. As already said I was extremely nervous because she was very attractive and I had never kissed a girl on the first date. So we made out for a while but I was actually way to nervous to bring a satisfying perfomance:)
But nonetheless we still cudled, during the cudling we also had a very good conversation before her girlfriend came to pick her up. She came a bit early which surprised us both why I had to leave earlier. While driving back i had extremely mixed feelings, she absolutely took away my breath but at the same time I felt very very uneasy about her (a bad stomach feeling) While I was driving home she apologized to me per whatsapp for the abrupt ending etc. She wanted to meet again the next day which kinda surprised me, during our date we alked about a big amusement in the region where we live. I had never gone there because I have a fear of heights but she was absolutely obsessed with it and she suggested we go there so we made plans. To cut it short I got sick in the evening and we couldn't go. On Sunday evening she texted me that she really enjoyed the time with me and that I was very cute but my shy and insecure type is something she is not into,which I understand so I explained her that iam not like that usually so she agreed to meet again
The weeknd was over and she asked on which weekdays I had time to meet? I told her I get off work earlier on Monday, she suggested we met at her flat and that she cooks for us both. She told me beforehand that she did not want to get intimate yet which was okey for me because I need time for that as well. So we met on Monday and drank a bit of wine and had very good deep talk again, she told me that she lost her virginity at 16 to her boyfriend who raped her and that she also got into therapy because of that. She also told me that she left her boyfriend 6 months ago because he was toxic and she was also very depressed afterwards. She asked me if I wanted to cuddle a bit, so we cudled and made out again, this time I was very sure of myself and she really enjoyed is as well, she gave compliments to my smell and my looks. She also got a bit touchy even tho she did not want to get intimate.
We ate something during which she asked me about my bad character traits and if i have ever got loud towards my mother, I answered (very honestly) that iam jealous and don't forgive easily and that I have also gotten loud with my mother. Afterwards we lay into bed again, she brought up the topic of what's gonna become of us? I answered her that I could imagine a serious relationship and that my main goal is always marriage (I knew she was very into career which is why I said it) she told me that she also could imagine a relationship with me as well, so we talked about marriage and family plans for a very long time, she asked me if I wanted to spend the night at her place what I rejected because I had work next morning and I did not want to drive for an hour in the morning.
I have to mention that she was always extremely kind and gave extreme amount of compliments which was very unusual for me
The next days we only texted and we also had no plans for meeting because she would spend the weekend at her parents place and would go to a party there. On Tuesday evening she texted me that she was unsure about a relationship because I had the same traits why she left her ex. I immediately answered and asked her which traits she meant and if she wanted to talk on the telephone about it, which she didn't answer that night. That was an common theme with her, she always answered late, even if I answered directly to her texts. She sometimes answered hours later without any excuse which I always found weird.
During this time I had trouble eating and sleeping because I was very obviously falling in love (my first time) she was always on my mind and also I had an very uneasy stomach.
We texted the next day and agreed to talk on the telephone but somehow she only found time around midnight even tho that topic bothered me a lot. I answered all her questions and assured her I would never get violent with her etc. But i was also very unsure about a relationship already, on Monday evening while we were cudling and having the conversation about a potential relationship I asked her if she talked with other people on the dating app, which she answered with yes, I asked her If one of the dudes on the app asked her for a date if she would meet with them and she also answered yes to that and reasoned that she is still single, which I found very weird and upsetting because we were just talking about a serious relationship? So I asked her about that on the telephone call and she told me that she likes having a backup in case things don't work out because that makes her feel better or something?
She actually deleted her dating app a few days later and told me that, that also made me very happy. The next days we texted normally and also made plans to meet on the next Monday which she claimed she was looking forward to. She canceled this meeting because she stayed with her parents a day longer to meet her grandmother. She already told me that her family has a lot of drama.... and apparently the meeting with her grandmother was extremely bad She wanted to meet and asked me on which days I had time, I told her that I could spend the night on Wednesday at her place or we could meet at Saturday. She told me that it would be better if I don't spend the night at her place yet because she doesn't know if she can control herself because she feels that secure and well next to me, even to she offered it the week before? On the same day she also texted me that she can't imagine herself in a relationship currently.
We agreed meeting on Saturday but the next day out of the blue she asked if I could spend the night at her place on Wednesday which made me jump out of bed in joy. So i agreed but the next day she sent me an voice message on what's app where she sounded like she was crying, she explained me that she felt very uneasy because of what happened with her grandmother (some drama she didn't want elobarte further on) and that she just want to stay in bed and stuff and that I couldn't spend the night at her place and apologized, I offered her to talk on the telephone to help her but she did not wanna bother me with her family drama?
The same night I get a call from her and we talked a bit, it was an extremely good conversation she was very sweet and we got along very well, also we made plans week for the weekend. She told me that she couldn't wait to see me...
On Thursday I was on a business trip where we also texted and we got well along very well, but since meeting her the first time I had this uneasy feeling that destroyed me from inside and especially on this day I kinda knew that things were coming towards an end. At 8 p.m I got a 2 minute long voice message and I already knew what was about to come. In the message she talked about what a good guy iam and how much she enjoyed the time with me but that she can't meet somebody which could lead to an relationship because she has commitment issues? She also apologized for breaking contact on whatsapp because apparently I don't deserve it I sent her an answer in which I explained that I also wanted to finish this the next time we met but I wanted to do it personally etc.
We talked it out and finished it like two grownups, the last thing she said that the world is small and maybe well meet again one day. We broke up in good terms.
The next days were weird for me, I thought about her all day and was empty inside. We had no contact at all expect that she liked my instagram story.
5 days later before going to sleep i saw that she followed new guys on Instagram(she only followed like 4 guys one of which was me before) which made me extremely jealous and i blocked her everywhere. The next day I got curious and decided to confront her(In a very humane way) if our relation meant her something which she answered with: yes otherwise I wouldnt treat you like that So I asked her why she already started following other guys on Instagram. She replied that these are only friends of her girlfriend and she already deleted them, and when I checked she really had deleted them, I apologized and she said that there is nothing to apologize. We talked about the last few days and she told me that she thought about me a lot...
Next Day she texted that it's not a good idea that I follow her on Instagram, I told her that I did not want to remove her from my life completely. She answered that she understands but doesn't want any contact at this moment I replied that I will respect that, she replied with a heart and blocked me everywhere When I checked with an fake acc her insta was deactivated. It has been deactivated for almost 3 weeks after last conversation
Guys sry for this long ass text and thank you for your patience. Writing this down helped me a lot, what is your opinion on what happened? I think she is not over her Ex-bf yet and just used me to waste her time and when it got serious she got cold feet...

2023.06.02 00:34 Pres_Ley50 I've been drinking a lot more and I like it.

I know this sounds bad and I sound like an alcoholic but I live alone, I work from home, I am bored all the fucking time. My friends are all so busy with their kids or partners... So I've just kinda... Taken up drinking.
I hate the feeling I should be ashamed of it. I don't wake up and open a beer first thing in the morning whatsoever. And I'm not pounding back 7 beers a night either. I just mean after work on a Tuesday and it's beautiful weather and I'm bored and lonely to tears then I'll go grab a beer or cocktail on a patio by myself and chill, maybe get 2. Or I'll take a tumbler and fill it with beer or a mixed drink or whatever and go for a long walk in the park and listen to music.
It just makes me feel good. I don't get drunk enough to the point of puking before bed or too hung over to work. I just get a nice buzz going really. Thing is though I've doing this a lot more often so that's why I feel like I should be ashamed but I don't want to be ashamed.

2023.06.02 00:34 xtremexavier15 TSWT 26 (pt 2)

The episode resumed with a shot of the Final Two holding the effigies their helpers had made as Chef wheeled the person formerly in a hazmat suit in a wheelchair, their suit traded in for a full body cast.
Izzy spoke up. "Are we actually going to throw our dummies into an active volcano without any safety? That sounds lethal, even for me."
"As the saying goes, 'No excruciating pain, no million dollar gain'," Chris told her, pulling out a briefcase as a reminder then promptly tossing it away. "To help you get those dummies to the top of the volcano, you can use the rewards your teams earned on your behalf in the Aftermath Lava Surfing challenge," he continued.
"Ezekiel won a wheelbarrow. Too bad he's out," he said, the camera panning the host at the base of the volcano as the wheelbarrow rolled down next to the host, "but Alejandro gets a baby stroller," the stroller rolled down next to the wheelbarrow, "and Izzy gets diddly squat."
"What?" Mal gaped.
"Mal," Chris said, "for winning the effigy challenge, you get a twenty-second head start. So, get going!"
"Toodles," Mal said, running off with the wooden statue in his arms.
"At least this dummy's light," Izzy said, carrying it in her arms.
Mal tossed his dummy into his baby stroller as soon as he came to Chris, then ran up the slope chuckling as it did not break.
Chris watched him go with his usual smile, then turned to watch Izzy as she walked up. "Shouldn't I have the wheelbarrow if Ezekiel's not competing?" Izzy said.
"Sure, why not?" Chris said, watching Izzy put her dummy in her wheelbarrow and push it up the hill.
\
The scene cut to Mal running up the mountainside path at a decent rate. "It's been a long ride," he told himself, "but I'm going to claim the prize and live life comfortably!"
\
The camera panned down to Izzy, still pushing her effigy up the slope and panting heavily. "Why am I getting tired now of all places?" she said to herself.
"Having trouble?" Mal called out mockingly. "Maybe if you continue to run like a freak of nature, you might get to the top in time to see me win the money. But I doubt it!" he laughed, running off again.
The path soon leveled off, he passed a few bushes, then saw what was ahead and frantically skidded to a halt. He stopped right on the edge of a bubbling lava pool. "What the inferno?" he asked, the camera getting an overhead shot of the lava right before it flared up, forcing Mal to dive away with his rather flammable dummy.
Chris chuckled off-screen, and the camera zoomed out to show him and Chef standing on the other side of the lava lake. "Yoo hoo, over he~ere!" he called in a light and airy voice, waving to the malice filled man. A series of stepping stones spanned the gap between the two sides, but hanging over it from a large wooden frame were several heavy objects: from the left to right were a log, a grand piano, a safe, a simple weight, a purple armchair, a metal cage, and a bomb. The ropes holding the objects in the air ran along the framework and down to a structure near Chris and Chef, where each individual rope was tied around a long log.
"Check out the look on his face," Chris told his assistant as the camera zoomed in on them and the two men high-fived.
Izzy finally arrived at the other end of the lava pool, stopping when she saw it. "Now what?" she said in awed disbelief.
"The only way to the top of the volcano," Chris said as the camera panned across a close-up of the stepping stones, "is past this river of lava," he pointed down at the bubbling rock as the camera reached him again. "Those rewards probably won't be too helpful," he added, Mal and Izzy frowning as they stood by with their respective dummies.
"All you have to do is hop across these stepping stones," the host continued, moving over closer to the end of the path. "Easy-peasy, hot and cheesy!" he said as the lava flared up again. "Buu~uut," he added impishly as the camera panned across the hanging objects, "we've rigged a few booby traps to, that's right!"
"Make things more interesting," the two finished in annoyance.
"Chef," Chris turned to his assistant, "a booby demo, if you please!"
Chef took out a machete then turned around and chopped the first rope. The freed end quickly slid back through the wooden frame, and the log dropped onto the first stepping stone, broke, and fell into the lava with a burst of flame and a splatter of molten rock. Izzy raised an eyebrow and Mal gasped in surprise.
"Yeah, you really don't want to get hit by those," Chris told them. "Your helpers can either keep them secure," he continued, turning around and motioning to the two pairs that were standing by the tied-up ropes, "or send them falling. It's your call. Aaaand, go!"
Mal got moving first, picking up his dummy out of the stroller and running from stone to stone. Izzy lagged behind, but she still kept up.
"Chop the ropes! Now!" Mal commanded, and the shot cut over to Noah, Eva, Sky, and Shawn on the far side of the river.
"Team E-Scope, don't let them win!" Izzy cried out.
"Hold on!" Sky stopped everyone. "I don't want to fight anyone, or help out Mal."
"Me too," Shawn agreed. "I'm just here because I have too."
"I said cut the ropes!" Mal shouted forcefully.
"You two are right. Let's leave them at each other's throats," Noah said.
"Or better yet, we sabotage Mal," Eva offered.
"I'm already ahead of you!" Shawn grinned and grabbed a machete. He chopped down the rope holding the couch, and Mal took notice and jumped onto the next stone.
"Don't even think about messing with me!" Mal growled.
"Can't hear you!" Shawn mocked him as he cut a series of ropes. A bank vault, piano, and cage all fell down, but Mal effortlessly avoided all of them and eventually made it to the end.
"How were you able to avoid all of those?" Noah wondered. "That cage should've contained you."
"Mike's personalities can come in handy. I'll be taking my leave now," Mal laughed and made his way to the volcano.
Izzy reached the four helpers. "Welp, that was a bust," she griped.
"Don't just stand around complaining," Eva said. "Go to the volcano."
"And what about you guys?" Izzy asked.
"We'll catch up with you two with the helicopter Chris drove us here in," Sky added.
Izzy's face turned into determination. "Here I go! Time to stop the biggest, most baddest villain in TD history!" She let out a battlecry and dashed hastily towards the volcano.
\
The scene changed to a long-distance upward shot of the volcano, soon cutting to the top as the camera panned across the non-competitors, gathered in a sweaty and sweltering mass on the rim of the volcano's crater.
An upward pan of Chris holding the million-dollar suitcase revealed him standing happily in a cool breeze, the shot zooming out to show it being caused by a giant electric fan blowing air over a large ice cube being held on an intern's back. Several more ice cubes were stacked around the area, and were already beginning to melt.
"So...," Chris said to Chef, the pilot standing beside him, "know of any season three wrap parties?"
Chef didn't answer, and instead averted his gaze and walked away whistling in a very suspicious manner.
Chris frowned at him, but his expression quickly changed to excitement as he looked out over the edge of the volcano. "And here they come!" he announced as Mal was shown racing up the path with his dummy.
The shot cut to the edge of the crater as the dummy was thrown up first, followed by the villain leaping up with a dark smile on his face. He caught the dummy and grinned even more.
"Looking for this?" Chris asked as the shot cut to the million dollar case.
Mal let out a dry chuckle as he made his way to the edge of the crater.
"Stop right there!" Izzy's voice said, causing him to pause and turn around mid-way.
"Izzy," Mal said as the camera cut to the girl at the roof of the crater next to her dummy. "Can't you see I'm about to beat you? Just spare us the trouble and let me win!"
"If there's anyone who deserves to be competing against me, it should be Mike!" Izzy argued back.
"Mike is nothing to me!" Mal shouted furiously. "He should be the one left behind, not me!" That was when he inhaled sharply as his head got closer to the camera.
\
Suddenly, Mal began falling and landing in the pink grounds of Mike's brain.
"Urgh." Mal grunted before his eyes widened and he saw that his tower was practically rubble at this point. "Impossible. Where's my tower?" Mal asked furiously.
"It's gone Mal. It's gone for good," Mike smirked victoriously as he entered, much to Mal's anger.
"How were you able to push that button? I had that reinforced so your puny arms could not penetrate it," Mal asked angrily.
"I'm not half as weak as you think I am. It's time to end this," Mike glared at the evil alter who smirked fiendishly.
"Very well," Mal said with sadistic glee, "This should only take ten seconds." Soon, Mal and Mike charged at each other fiercely and began punching and kicking each other with so much ferocity.
\
Meanwhile, at the top of the volcano, Mike and Mal were having such a gigantic fight that Mike's body was thrashing itself violently much to everyone's horror.
"What is he doing?!" Owen asked in concern.
Heather stood in front of Cody protectively.
"Surrender already, you peon!" Mal grunted angrily as Mike's body continued to thrash violently.
"N-never!" Mike said confidently as he continued to claw at himself.
Noah gasped at the scene. "Mike's fighting Mal for control of his body!" Noah realized.
\
Inside Mike's mind, Mal tackled Mike down as the latter struggled to get himself off of the evil alter.
"Look at you, so pitiful and pathetic!" Mal hissed viciously, "You were a fool to challenge me. It's not like your friends will ever forgive you for this. How will they see you now that they know I exist?"
Mike seemed to be in thought about Mal's words but chose not to let them get to him. "I won't let you win this!" Mike raised his foot to kick Mal in the kiwis, causing Mal to release him from his hold out of instinct.
Mike pushed Mal back and began punching him, trying to keep him down but Mal did not look like he was giving in.
\
Back at the top of the volcano, everyone was anxiously watching the fight unfold.
"What are we gonna do?!" Sadie said in horror.
Sky seemed to be in deep thought before smiling. "We have to rally Mike on! Show him that he's not alone in this!"
"I'm on it," Shawn nodded before speaking up. "Mike! It's me, Shawn! I just want to let you know that no one is mad at you about Mal's actions!"
"All of us are logical enough to separate Mal from Mike. It's just common sense!" Noah smiled encouragingly.
"We're all rooting for you to kick Mal's butt!" Eva added happily.
"We know you can do it," Ella encouraged.
"Mike! I just want you to know that you're my best friend and I can't imagine life without you! I know it may seem rough in there but please, we all have your back!" Sky said encouragingly.
\
Back in his mind, Mike smiled warmly as he heard this and Mal got up, all tattered and beaten. "Those nobodies… are idiots. I'm a part of you and they WILL see that!" Mal cried out in fury.
"You're wrong Mal! You may be a part of my mind, but everything you ever did was all you and no one else!" Mike spoke in determination.
"You always wanted me to rely on you. To make yourself feel important. That desire turned you bitter and hateful and led you to who you are today. You wanted me to feel scared and feel I needed you to be tough, but guess what? I have friends up there. Friends who have stuck by my side even when they learned my disorder before I could properly confess, friends who stuck by me even if they voted me off in season one for the others' behavior, and friends who still stay beside me despite everything you ever did to me!"
Mike's body began glowing white, and for the first time in Mal's life, he felt genuine fear in his eyes. "No… you can't do this to me. No one will ever cross you with me in charge," Mal pleaded desperately, "I'm a part of you."
Mike just narrowed his eyes. "That's true. I can't get rid of you, but I can seal you enough to where you can never cause this much trouble EVER AGAIN!"
Soon, Mike used his hands to shoot a powerful white blast which Mal tried to resist but in the end, it was hopeless and he was blasted into the deepest corners of Mike's mind.
"IT'S MY TIME!!!! MMMMIIIINNNNNEEEEEEE!" Mal cried out in horror as his voice faded into the distance.
Back at the volcano, Mike opened his eyes and grabbed his head. "Wh-Where am I?"
"Mike! He's back!" Ezekiel cried out happily before Topher stopped Ezekiel from going to help him up.
"Wait, this could be a trap," Topher said sternly.
"Let me try something," Duncan told the group before whistling 'In the Hall of the Mountain King,' and all he got was a blank stare from Mike.
"It's really me guys. I swear," Mike smiled encouragingly.
"Mike! You're back!" Sky cried out as she embraced the comedian, to which Shawn, Noah, Dawn, Ella, Sadie, Lindsay, and Cody were all quick to join in.
"Guys, I am so sorry about everything Mal did," Mike apologized profusely. "I should have told you all about him after last season, but I thought he was no longer a problem and-"
"It's okay. We know you never meant for this to happen," Shawn smiled at his friend.
"I promise. I won't forget to let you all know about my problems," Mike pledged.
"Great to have you back," Chris said with an unamused look on his face, "but can one of you toss your sacrifice in the volcano already?"
"The one next to you," Topher told Mike as Izzy dragged her dummy. "If you toss it in the lava before Izzy does, then you win the million dollars."
Mike and Izzy locked eyes, then he grabbed his dummy and both ran as fast as they could to the edge of the volcano.
Quickly forming a plan, Izzy slid to a stop and hurled her dummy. It flew through the sky like a bullet, and moments later, it soared into the lava unceremoniously, and aside from a small splash-back that the Peanut Gallery quickly dodged, nothing happened.
"Oh yes!!!" Izzy boomed. "I won! I won! I won!" she cheered, jumping up and down in glee.
"And that's a cool million for Izzy," Chris told the audience. "The winner of Total Drama World Tour!" The contestants all applauded and cheered for the winner.
"Way to go, Izzy!" Owen cheered out loud.
"Nice job, eh!" Ezekiel clapped his hands.
Chris opened up the briefcase for Izzy, who marveled at the dollar bills inside. "It's so beautiful!" she exclaimed as she took the briefcase and hugged it tightly.
"You worked hard for the money, Izzy," Mike said as he walked over to congratulate her. "I'm just glad to be back in control again."
"You're welcome, and stay you, Mike," Izzy shook hands with Mike.
"Ohh, you didn't throw any pineapples in the volcano, did you?" an unfamiliar voice asked, the camera panning right a little ways just as two elderly Hawaiian men in flowery skirts and leis walked up.
"There are signs everywhere!" the other said.
The camera cut to the Peanut Gallery all stepping away to show several signs with crossed-out pineapples on them.
"Oh yeah," Chris said blankly. "They really ruined the shot, so we put the human wall there."
A third old Hawaiian man came over to reveal another sign. "Don't you know what happens when pineapples meet lava?"
It was then that the volcano shook and rumbled, a long-distance shot of it showing a few reddish streaks forming along the outer edge of the crater.
"Uh-oh," Chris said, gaining the camera's attention as the volcano was shaking, "Didn't see that one coming. Anywho," he chuckled before taking a deep breath and yelling "RRRUUUUNNNNNN!"
The volcano was shown from a distance again, the smoke billowing from the top turning into a full-blown eruption of fire.
Back at the top, the three Hawaiian men went running back towards the path down, followed by Chris, Izzy, Mike, and the rest of the contestants as lava began to cover the screen.
It parted as the scene cut to the base of the volcano, the former contestants running and screaming across the beach as flaming rocks rained down from above and the lava took over the screen again.
"See you next season I guess," Chris said as the camera cut to him as fire continued to fall. "Maybe with a whole new cast, 'cause let's face it – these guys are probably gonna melt," he laughed.
"Until next time," the host said, his voiced strained as the scene cut to him standing up in front of the sky. "I'm Chris McLean, and this has been Total! Drama!" The camera zoomed out to reveal that him and Chef were now aboard the old Boat of Losers, but the host's outtro was interrupted by a sudden object. Both men looked up, and one of the rocks, entirely on fire, was shown rocketing towards the boat.
Chris and Chef ducked to either side as it landed, punching a hole in the ship with its crash. The Boat of Losers began to sink, and the rest of the cast treading water nearby laughed as the two adults went under.
Their mirth was short-lived, however, and quickly turned to terror and they swam away screaming as large flaming rocks started raining down upon them once again, and the footage cut to static.
(Roll the Credits)

(Bonus Clip)
The shot featured flaming rocks hitting the ocean and whatnot. The rocks caused some splashes, but they weren't big enough to fully cover the screen.
The camera panned to the right to show Ezekiel Clone on his raft. A big smile formed on his face as he drank his coconut and watched the lava explosion. Noticing the camera, he gave it a wave before it faded to black.

2023.06.02 00:33 BlueIvories Take two

Had lost 115 pounds and got to around or a little under 160, went through a stressful period of my life when I moved states and reintroduced dairy, soy, and eggs back into my diet. (My nephew had an allergy) ending up gaining about 30 pounds in about a six month span from binge eating and stress snacking. I was very unhealthy towards myself, and my physical health suffered the most. I signed up for a health app and am signing up for the gym this Sunday. I will get back to where I was, but this time less loose skin, and focusing on what feels right and feels good instead of the scale. Wish me luck in undergoing this ongoing battle we seem to all have for our lives.
And for anyone who has gained back some of the weight you lost, you are still beautiful and valid. You still went through all that work, and sometimes we fall back. Happiness and good health is important. We got this.
BTW if anything has any good low carb/calorie recipes below, please feel free to share. <3

2023.06.02 00:24 The_Liamster03 20 [M4F] Brighton, UK - I want to meet my soulmate and fall in love

This is going to be a long post but here I go anyway. My name is Liam, I have never been in a romantic relationship before. I literally have no love life whatsoever, I’ve tried Tinder but I hardly get any matches and I got rejected by my crush when I was 16 but that’s a story for another time. I’m quite desperate at this point and I’m really lonely. This will sound cliché but when I was younger I always imagined that I’d get married to a beautiful woman, have one or more children, go on holidays to different countries, own a nice car and live in a big house. Fast forward to today and that idyllic lifestyle is more of a dream that probably won’t ever come true. Life isn’t a stereotypical romcom as much as I wish it were true. I know I’m young and I might get lucky one day, no one knows what the future holds. Anyway moving on. I’ll be honest and say I’m not that good looking but I am mature for my age. To describe my appearance, I’m white, 5’5, average build, blue eyes and have black hair. I’ll be happy to share pictures in chat if anyone is curious. I’m very shy and introverted but I do try my best to have a conversation. I’ve been told I’m funny and nerdy but also have a nice personality as well. My star sign is Capricorn but that’s all I know about it. My favourite hobbies (if you could call them that) are playing video games, watching movies/tv shows and occasionally reading books. I’m a very big Star Wars fan and my favourite Netflix show is Wednesday. This might be embarrassing to admit but my celebrity crush is Jenna Ortega lol. My music taste is pretty much just anything mainstream but I like Lewis Capaldi. My favourite Pixar film is WALL-E. Call me lazy but I love to just chill and relax at home in my pyjamas. I’m a family oriented person and an animal lover with two cute dogs who I adore. I’m looking for a woman who will love me for who I am, to build a special bond with and to have a future together. As cringe as it sounds, I just someone to love me as much as I’d love them. I guess I’m a hopeless romantic lol. I don’t know if I should say this here but I do really want to have children one day but that would be something that would happen in the long term and I’m no rush anyway. I am a great uncle to my niece and nephews and fatherhood is something that appeals to me. I’d like someone who is close to my age but that wouldn’t be a deal breaker. I don’t want a long distance relationship as I can’t travel and I want someone who is nearby. I’m not bothered about appearances as personality means much more to me but my “type” would be a white, petite, hot, curvy woman with black or blonde hair and blue eyes. I want us to get to know each other first and then possibly meet up for a date. Hopefully we can “click” right away but I understand it might take time. Anyway I don’t want to keep on rambling so this goes out to any women out there, if you want to talk or ask me questions then feel free to DM me. I look forward to hearing from you all and thank you for reading my post

2023.06.02 00:21 Decent-Setting-7491 Value of Kashmir

Time and again, I have heard/read about statements from the Pakistan government
(and a substantial group of Pakistani individuals on the net) which express
a strong desire to possess/annex the whole of Kashmir. Given the current
situation, it would be rather unrealistic to presume that this could be
achieved without a war with India. What I would like to know is what price
is Pakistan (as a state and its people) is willing to pay and why.
The scenario as I see it:
A war with India is like to
  1. cause major damage to the irrigation facilities that West Punjab depends on
so critically.
  1. Smash up the industrial infrastructure
  2. lead to the death of hundreds of thousands and potential devastation of
major cities like Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad (with Surface to Surface
missiles, long-range bombers etc, no place is safe in a modern war).
In the unlikely event of victory over India, what would the nation get ?
  1. A land of famed beauty (irreparably shattered by the war)
  2. A strategic location to launch future wars on the plains
  3. Patroitic and religious "pride".
The whole issue seems so pointless to me. India has a section of J&K,
Pakistan has another. Fine by me -- Punjab is divided, so is Bengal;
let another state be permanently divided. How does it impact the lives
of "gangaram" in Jhumritaliyya or "faiz ahmed" in peshawar ?

2023.06.02 00:18 TheMusingMystic Deisexual Pride

It’s Pride Month, and that means it’s been a full year since I finally came out to myself. I’m a deisexual and I feel anxious about even typing that out. I worry that it will be hard to find acceptance out there for a myriad of reasons. But after a lot of personal work I know this is who I am and this is what I want to embrace about myself. I’ve struggled to find a community or even mental health support to help me work on self-acceptance and work towards the goal of being comfortable coming out to and being myself around people I care about. So I thought, if those options didn’t work, maybe I should give myself a space where I can be all of me, uncloseted.
I’ve always felt “different” from others in terms of my sexuality, but I didn’t fall into any of the sexualities I was exposed to so I just shrugged it off as feeling “different". My family are conservative and everything-phobic, so any expressions of my alternate sexuality were (and still are) immediately met with punishment or lashing out, so for a while I convinced myself I just “wanted” to be “different” as a sort of act of rebellion towards them. After years of self-growth work it finally clicked with me that I have a different sexuality than the one I’ve been claiming, and that realization has made so many experiences from my past make perfect sense.
I’m proud of this discovery, I love who I am embracing, but I live in constant fear and insecurity that I will not be accepted by anyone else if I were to be honest with them about who I am and how I feel. It is making me isolated and even mean towards people who have really done nothing wrong, but who I also feel I have to protect my “secret” from or who I feel triggered by because I really don’t know how to make sense of who I am right now. Now I feel like I’m hiding who I am and between the imposter syndrome feelings and the cognitive exhaustion of living as two people, I would just really like to own who I am so that I’m comfortable in my skin. I don’t need to “wear it on my sleeve”, so to speak, but I would also like to be completely comfortable being honest with the people I want to be honest with. My cousin can come out to me, and I would just like to have the same sort of comfort coming out to him.
My biggest worry is that I will be “crazy-shamed” (as I call it), dismissed or labeled with a mental illness because of my sexuality. I understand that accepting deisexuality requires suspending or amending certain beliefs about spirituality and/or the supernatural that doesn’t necessarily come with accepting some other sexualities. I understand that can make it harder for people to be open to. It can be easy to assume that there must be some pathology at work instead. My sexuality isn’t a mental illness, it is a beautiful and fulfilling part of who I am, one that others have observed and commented on. The only thing that distresses me about my sexuality is not being able to live openly and honestly about it because I am afraid of the consequences if I do. I know that deisexuality isn’t very common, but there are 600,000+ open deisexuals around the world. We call them nuns. People like me have existed for thousands of years, just like all the other members of the LGBTQ community. Other cultures and religions even have words for people who feel sexual/romantic attraction to deities (the word “paramour” was originally coined for romantic relationships with the divine), and it is an accepted sexuality in some parts of the world. The only thing that makes me a rarity is that my deisexuality isn’t tied to any one religion or spiritual path, and I like that about myself. I am proud of who I am when I embrace this part of me, and I feel like half of a person when I don’t. I deserve to feel whole and happy, and after 25 years of closeting parts of myself to avoid being labeled “crazy”, I am hoping that this year I can venture out of the closet and find others who are willing to like me, or who maybe are like me.

2023.06.02 00:11 HydraulicAG12 In the fog quest

In my 3rd play through, and just completed the In the fog quest. It is amazing to me how the devs packed so much humanity and beauty into a side quest. The way they associate the concept of Alzheimer's/ dementia in the tenakth tribe to Chaplains because no one else reaches old age was great.
My grandmother got Alzheimer's when I was 7, and she lived with us for a while. She also seemed to always be in a "fog" when she couldn't remember things, or people's faces.
I really appreciated Fenirra's instant reaction to accept her fathers "diagnosis" and vow to care for him, even though the tribe wouldn't agree.

2023.06.02 00:05 Furry_Chewbacca I feel I am settling in a relationship, but I've been unable to get a relationship where I don't feel like that, and ending up single scares me

I [M35] am in a relationship (/life) situation that I find difficult to navigate, and it hase been causing me quite a lot of distress. I'll be really grateful for any perspective/counsel/experience/lessons-learned that you will be willing to share with me.
Some background context:
- I've always wanted to have a devoted stable relationship and kids. I've been in a couple of long-term relationships over the years but I never got to the point of feeling that I was with the right girl to start the family with, so I split up eventually. What I was searching for was a feeling of "I feel really grateful that I was able to meet and get together with this girl", but what I was really feeling was more like "well, I really like and appreciate A, B, C but I feel bad about D, E... but maybe it will stop bothering me after some time". I was talking myself into being content with what I had in those relationships, but I couldnt suffocate the hope for finding someone with whom I wouldnt have to do it. I wasnt able to get a girl like that, though, for a mix of reasons (as for the ones I am aware of: I was meeting very few such girls in the first place, some were not single, some were too young for me at the time... and I am admittedly not very efficient in recognizing and getting their interest quickly)
- As a result, I was then questioning my own ability to be truly satisfied with anyone. I pondered that perhaps it's my nature to experience relationships in this way, always observing and evaluating my partner, always finding things that are not good enough... But I think that my experience with finding a career path can serve as a sort of a counterexample. For many years, I'd had a career in which I was not truly happy but I was trying to convince myself that I was, artificially drawing my attention to the positive things, fearing that the grass wouldnt be greener elsewhere anyway. Then a few years ago, I finally made the leap to another career, and I've been so much happier since (in the beaming "I-want-to-tell-the-whole-world" kind of way). So yes, I CAN be truly happy, and no, the feeling doesnt fade away after a short time.
- After having ended the last of my previous relationships, I was single for a few years. At first, this was my own choice - I was focused on figuring out my career change and other stuff. Then there was the Covid pandemic, but I actually took it as a welcome opportunity to finish that "other stuff". Deep down, I was confident that I would emerge from the lockdowns having my career and other stuff sorted, knowing what I want and being able to get it, because despite all my shortcomings, I think I'm a fairly good partner material. I'm tall, no substantial physical or mental health issues, nonsmoker, active sportsman and musician, a prestigious school degree, stable well-paying job and a good place to live... my answer to "would you date yourself?" would be clear "yes".
- ...but despite all that, getting to know new promising girls has been much harder than it used to be. Friends of my friends either already have kids with someone else, or they are a no-go for me (or both :-P ).
My hobbies sometimes take me to events where there are new and younger girls, but I've never been that good in quickly finding out which ones are "available" and getting their interest, let alone finding out if I'm truly interested in them in the first place... I've also started to feel self-conscious about my age a bit, concerned that I am beginning to be old even for the girls that are already too old for me. I'd hate to become known as "that creepy older guy stalking around"...
- I went to perhaps 20-30 Tinder dates and pretty much exhausted my pool in my area... I enjoyed the dates a lot (no short-term sex though, I dont want that distraction) - it was really interesting to meet girls outside of my usual social bubbles, plus it was very reassuring to know that we were both looking for a partner and had some preliminary interest in each other. But again, I eventually saw most of them as a no-go in terms of possible partnership.
I'd started to feel real existential dread that I'd stay single - I was dealt such good cards in life, and yet I'd played the game so ineptly that here I was, helpless. The disappointment has been eating away at me for weeks, months, years.
2) Now:
- for a few months now, I've been in a relationship with one of my last Tinder dates. I certainly felt more comfortable with and closer to her than with the other Tinder dates, so I decided to go ahead with the relationship. I knew it would not be the "I-want-to-tell-the-whole-world-about-it" relationship that I had always longed for, but previous mounting disappointments of Tinder, ticking biological clock and prospect of becoming a lonely sad old man have made me think that maybe this was a rescue rope that the Universe was throwing me. And maybe it indeed is such a rope, but as I had half-expected, I am finding myself again in a pretty familiar situation, emotion-wise: there is plenty that I appreciate about my girlfriend, but also plenty of stuff where I've just... kind of hoped for better, and it keeps bugging me.
She, on the other hand, is really into me, even telling me that I'm all that she could ever hope for in a guy, which is of course beautiful to hear, but it would be even more beautiful to be able to reciprocate that.
Basically, I think I am living out the definition of "settling" again, and I still dont know if I can ultimately make peace with it. If the choice were "this relationship or being forever single", I would certainly stay in the relationship. But if it were "this relationship or go 10 years back in time", I would probably go.
I think it will be a challenge to be a good partner(/parent) when this is how I am feeling from the very start.
Firstly, I won't be able to be 100% open about this with many people (My friends? Relatives? My girlfriend herself? Our potential children one day...?), so this will be a burden (currently the only one of such gravitas that I have), and any such lack of honesty will be in some way detrimental to any such relationships.
Secondly, instead of always being patient and generous, my dissatisfaction with my girlfriend's perceived shortcomings will likely boil over at times of my stress/tiredness.
Thirdly, I have always prided myself on being a faithfull partner, but the idea of starting a family under these circumstances, and _then_ meeting someone who would tick all my boxes is gut-wrenching, and I hope I will not have to explore the limits of my loyalty in such way.
So... have you been in a similar situation? Did you split up, end up single and now you wish you stayed in the relationship? Or did you stay, but your dissatisfaction only grew over time, and you wish you left at the very start? Or you stayed in the relationship and are now grateful to have done so? How open were you about the perceived "settling" to the people around you? In general, what now makes you un/happy about your previous choices?
-----
TL;DR: I dont want to remain single, my current relationship is better than being single but not quite what I really want, and I've been unable to get what I really want. It makes me feel miserable, any counsel welcome.
PS: this whole thing has recently even made me go to a therapist for the first time in my life, but I didnt like it enough to continue.

2023.06.02 00:04 Puzzleheaded-State45 I had a dream about a person I once knew.

When I first moved to the city four years ago I had a roommate for a few months. Last night she appeared in my dream. I always wondered what happened to her.
We clicked instantly. We talked often and the more we talked the more I realized how much we had in common. We both had fucked up lives. Hers more than mine.
I felt bad for her. She had nobody and she struggled with drugs.
She was beautiful with long blonde hair and big blue eyes. You could see the pain in her eyes. She had a constant look of being lost.
She told me once how her uncle molested her and when she told her parents they kicked her out. She was only 15. This led her to be homeless.
When she was my roommate she was hiding from her abusive ex.
So one day she told me she was going back to live with her abusive ex. I didn't like it or feel comfortable but I couldn't stop her. She was happy about it. I still remember she had a smile on her face. My guess was she thought he changed. She told me he was the only person she had.
Today when I woke up I remembered my dream. I googled her name and saw a news article that explained that she got murdered by her ex a few years ago. In a very brutal way.
He beat her, stomped on her, gouged her eyes, stripped her, and ultimately strangled her.
She was also pregnant.
It hurts me that she left the world in such a cruel way.
The thing that my mind won't let go of is her obituary. It's plain, with no picture, and not one family member listed. It's like she died a ghost.
It leaves me with a negative disappointment feeling in life.
I wish I could have helped more.
Never judge someone's misfortune. Like so many did her.

2023.06.02 00:02 UnDead_Ted Family Prayers Thursday, June 1st 2023


Everyday Verse

1 John 3:22
ESV
KJV
NLT

What does 1 John 3:22 mean?

Godly confidence leads to a bold prayer life. This does not mean we can demand anything, as though God were a cosmic vending machine. However, we will receive everything we ask for in agreement with God's will. There is a two-way relationship at work here. The more a person understands the will of God, the more likely it is that their prayers will be attuned to His plans. Further, effective prayer is based on two aspects of Christian living.
First, a strong prayer life is based on obedience: "because we keep his commandments."
Second, a strong prayer life is based on pleasing God: "do what pleases him." The believer who lives obediently can expect an exciting prayer life. For example, Moses was a man who walked closely with God. The Lord worked through his life to answer many prayers that included miracles and clear signs of God at work. Yet many forget that his close walk with God was based on a life of obedience that pleased the Lord. Those who wish to see bold prayers answered must also live in obedience—"abiding" in Him.

Quote of Prayer

Charles Spurgeon
"Prayer is the indispensable mark of the true child of God."
Let's Pray:
O God, who is everywhere present, who is surely here with us now while we bow before You — may You make Your presence indeed real to us, so that we shall be conscious of it. We cannot see You, and it is hard for us to know that You are truly with us. Give us faith in Your promise that You will never leave us nor forsake us, that You will be with us always, even unto the end of the world.
So may Your presence make us strong, and keep us always at peace. May it inspire us always to do our best, since the Master's eye is ever upon us. May it keep us from being ever discouraged and cast down, since You are always a very present help in times of trouble. Then may it make us most watchful over all our life and conversation — that we may do nothing and say nothing which would grieve You.
We desire, our Father, to be diligent today in all duty, and we ask You for help and guidance. Show us what You will have us to do — and then give us wisdom and grace to do all our duty. Help us to do it beautifully, so as to please You. Let us not live well, merely because we must — but may we love to do the things that are right, and do them with cheerfulness and glad-heartedness. May we glorify Your name in the midst of Your enemies, honoring You in our every word and act.
We commit to Your keeping, all of our household as we separate and go our several ways. Let no accident befall any of us. May we be kept from sickness and trial, if You will; or if any trouble comes to us, then may we be kept from sinning. Give us Your help. Uphold us by Your right hand. We ask all, with the forgiveness of our sins, in Jesus' precious name. Amen.

2023.06.01 23:59 William-Taylor-64 don't be afraid your child will never experience pleasure, be grateful that they won't suffer and go through trauma and pain

just imagine that you are in a world where there's no pleasure, but there's no pain, no suffering, no disease, no rape, no poverty, it's perfect even if it has no pleasure, that is non existence, it's like you are swimming in an infinite ocean, there are no animals to entertain you, but you know there's nothing that can harm you, you are safe, and that feeling of security gives you gratefulness, and gratefulness leads to piece, and piece leads to relief and happiness even if we are grateful for nothing, because at least we are safe and nothing can hurt us
you know, when you have just a normal plain day, and you complain that nothing exciting is happening, and your mom says "you should be grateful that you haven't lost an arm and had to live with a deadly disease", that is non existence, we all should be grateful that, even if our child will never experience pleasure, our child will never experience pain and suffering, since your child can't feel nothing in non existence, then it has no desire for neither pain nor pleasure, and also, we don't want pleasure, we just want the pain to end, when we have pain, we use pleasure, it's like a drug used to treat a mental disorder, when that drug doesn't have much effect, we try to have more and more doses, but when there's no pain, there's no disorder, there's no need for that drug again, because pleasure exists because pain exists

we all should be grateful that our unborn child hasn't gone through harm, they are in a state of eternal piece and comfort and rest, even if they don't have pleasure, they don't need it, because they don't feel anything, they are safe

if they could look at us in the world, they probably would say "damn they got good things, but they lose it and go through pain and suffering, well, at least i got nothing to lose and i'm grateful for not suffering"
we all should be grateful for our child's safeness in non existence,because they won't be harmed, they are safe, just like we should be grateful for nothing, because at least nothing bad happened, and that brings piece and relief doesn't it?

we should always consider that the neutral scenario is better than the bad scenario, for example: if you had been presented two options, the good choice that has a bad event happening later, and a neutral choice, nothing happens, would you choose the neutral choice? i would, at least nothing bad would happen, so that's what we should consider, be grateful that your child won't go through pain, she won't listen to beautiful and upbeating music but at least she's not going to be raped or become a prostitute

2023.06.01 23:57 JoshAsdvgi The Flood

The Flood

The Flood - A Tale of the Beaver Indians
In former times, when people were very numerous upon the earth, it happened that the sun ceased to give heat or light.
An unremitting fall of snow threatened to annihilate every living creature upon the earth; the tops of the loftiest trees were already almost buried in snow, and it was with great difficulty fire wood could be obtained.
In order to discover the cause of this dreadful phenomenon, a party of Indians agreed to go upon discoveries, and after having marched many days without observing any difference in the climate, discovered a squirrel's nest.
Squirrels in those days were eminently endowed with sense and reason, besides the gift of speech.
Here the adventurers pathetically stated their sufferings arising from the sun having been stolen from them, and asked his advice.
The squirrel bids them repose until he should dream.
This dream lasted some days, and on awaking he told them that a she bear held the sun from them.
Our adventurers upon this information determined to go inquest of the bear and engaged this sagacious squirrel to accompany them.
After great fatigue, they arrived in a beautiful country which the bear with her two cubs inhabited.
They soon discovered her wash or couch with the two cobs: the mother was out upon an excursion on the other side of the lake nigh to her retreat.
Our adventurers' attention was soon attracted by a long line of babishe suspended from the cloud and tied to a piece of wood which lay upon the top of the bear's covering and dwelling place.
Upon this line, at certain distances, there were a number of bags neatly laced with babishe and which seemed to contain something mysterious
Our adventurers did not fail to remark this line, and the prudent squirrel averred that no time should he lost, as flue mother bear night arrive soon, that an explanation should be extorted by threats from the cubs concerning the line and the number of bags.
Accordingly all hands assuming a savage look entered the couch with bonded bows and quivers foil of arrows and threatened the cubs with instant death if they did not reveal theirs another's secrets.
The terrified cobs promised to comply.
"The first bag upon that line, what does it contain? Snow," replied the large cub.
"The second? Rain. The third? Thunder. The fourth? The Stars.
The fifth?" At this question the cub refused to comply, but the adventurers, presenting their daggers and arrows to his breast intimidated him, and he very reluctantly replied that the fifth bag contained the sun.
This put a stop to further enquiries.
The active squirrel commanded to his assistance, a pike, first, a loche and a mouse.
"Come," says the squirrel to the pike and loche, "be quick; go" and descend the bag containing the sun, and you, my little "mouse, go upon the other side of the lake and nibble the bear's" paddle half through, so that it may break when she forces it "in paddling; you are little and she will not perceive you."
Off they go upon their errands. The loche was very slow in her movements, but the Pilate soon ascended and untied the bag, and was upon his return when he met the lochs whom he thus accosts: "Be you gone you tardy creature!" "Nay, but give me the bag" retorted the loche" and i'll mend my pace; you will see how I will twist my tail.
The pike, not to lose time by further resistance, delivered the bag, but finding that the Locke could not make way for him, snatched the bag from the latter and soon descended.
The mouse, after executing her task returned at the same time, and the pike was about cutting the bag with his teeth when the bear made her appearance on the other side of the lake, and seeing strangers at her home, quickly shoved her canoe into the water and was crossing with all speed when, to her surprise, her paddle broke.
The pike by this time had made a small hole in the bag, and to the unspeakable joy of our adventurers, out flies the Sun, the appearance of which entirely disconcerted the bear.
She made the earth tremble with her howlings, but finding that she could not make way without her paddle, she trust herself into the water and made the best speed she could by means of her paws.
After all her roaring end exertions she reflected that revenge was now out of her power, as the adventurers had fled, and her power with the sun was now expiring; but in order not to be deprived of the sun's influence. while yet she had some power over him, she in her turn was prudent enough, before it was too late, to command the Smut to show himself to all the Earth, that every one might enjoy his powerful influence.
Let us now return to our exulting adventurers, who soon after found themselves plunged into the other extreme.
They had not proceeded many days upon their return when they were threatened with a deluge arising from the impression that the heat of the sun mace upon the snow.
The waters increasing more and snore, our adventurers redoubled their pace in order to get to the summit of a very high rocky mountain.
Unfortunately only two of them, a man and his wife, reached the top of the mountain, all the rest were drowned in the waters.
Upon the summit of this mountain were gathered two of every living creature (male and female) that liveth upon the Earth, many of the drowned people transformed themselves into fowls of the air and had the sagacity to retire to this place.
The waters continuing a long time, reduced those creatures to great extremities for want of food. It was at length proposed by the canard de France, the petit plongeux and the buzzard to dive into the waters in order to try to fled ground.
Accordingly the canard de France showed the example, but soon made his appearance upon the surface of the waters, and only served as a laughing stock to his companions.
The plongeux proceeded next, but found nothing.
The buzzard dived next, and remained under water until his strength was almost exhausted, and was some time above the water before he could impart his adventure, which was however unsuccessful.
After remaining some days inactive, they again dived, and the buzzard alone, after appearing upon the surface seemingly in a lifeless state, had his bill full of earth, which showed that the waters were decreasing.
They continued to dive with unremitting diligence for sometime afterwards, throwing out now and then some bitter sarcasm against the least successful, in which dispute, the plongeux did not fail to remind the canard de France of his bad jealous head.
In short the waters dried upon the earth, but as yet the situation was deplorable, as they could scarcely find even roots for their subsistence.
During this interval, l'epervier, l'emerillon, the canard de France agreed to change the colour of their feathers, (at that time, all the species were white) which they effected, but by what means is not known. Immediately after this event, the corbeau or raven made his appearance.
"Come," says l'epervier to the corbeau, "look at my feathers, are they not beautiful? would "you not wish to have a coat like mine?" "Hold your tongue," rejoined the corbeau, "with your crooked bill; is not white handsomer than any other colour?"
The others argued with the corbeau to consent, but he remained inflexible, which so exasperated l'epervier and the others that they determined to revenge this affront, and each taking a burnt coal in his bill they blackened him all over, and those who could swim took refuge in the river, the others escaped by their superior swiftness in flying.
The corbeau, in the mean time, enraged at this treatment, and determined not to be singular, espied a flock of etourneaux and, without shaking off the black dust from his feathers, threw himself amongst them and bespattered them all over with black, which is the reason of their still retaining this colour.
Some days afterwards the corbeau, in order to vex his enemies, paid them another visit; he had brought with him about his neck a collar upon which were lumps of the fat of the moose and reindeer.
L'epervier and the others accost him, and ask for a little fat, adding that he was very Hungry. The corbeau made no reply and would not even discover to them where he had taken the fat.
The confederates were highly incensed at his behaviour, and resolved to rob him, and l'epervier was pitched upon for the enterprise.
Off the robber goes, and with one grapples carries ok all the fat.
The corbeau immediately went off in a passion, but thought the adventure fortunate enough, as he was not personally hurt.
This circumstance of the fat roused a desire in some of the feathered species to partake of this good chore with the corbeau, and the chat-truant or chouette undertook to observe the corbeau in his flight, and directed l'epervier to throw some ashes upon his eyes when he should tell him, for his sight would probably fail him after steadfastly looking after the corbeau for a long time.
The chat-truant called aloud for ashes, which were no sooner applied to his eyes than he saw clearly, and was enabled to trace the corbeau to his retreat, which was in a valley beyond a very high mountain.
This fortunate discovery was no sooner made than both man and beast, &c., were informed of it and they all agreed, the water fowls excepted, to go in search of the corbeau's dwelling, and took their departure the next day.
After incredible sufferings from want of food as well as from the fatigue of the journey, they arrived at his retreat which was a large lodge covered with the branches of the fir tree.
The door of the lodge was made of the pounces of the reindeer.
The wolf offered his services first to break open the door, but the fox, on account of his cunning and swiftness, was fixed upon to do this office.
The latter, running with all his might, the door split in twain, by which means a prodigious number of moose and reindeer were liberated, being formerly shut up in this lodge.
The man with his wife, who by this time had several children, killed a number of these animals, and seeing that they had enough of provisions for a long time, let the rest go unhurt whither they pleased.
Here, this man made an agreement with the beasts of the Earth and the fowls of the Air, (for he was afraid some of them would assume their former shape and become enemies to him and his family) to retain every one his present form, engender and cover the earth; and he on his part agreed not to assume any other form and likeness, nor deter them from wandering whither-soever they choose and both parties agreeing, seperated, which separation continues to this day.
