"A Fairy's Requiem"

Original ballad by Dawn Before

Transcript both in alt text and in comments.

I wrote this for November Writing Month but apparently November is dedicated to novels and April is for poetry, but I already wrote it so, oh well.

I might record a recital and animation someday.
My heart was racing 10,000x per minute. That's 10x faster than my small heart should run. I always thought magic was infinite, But it seems the forest's end has begun. I felt my heart would burst at its seams. But what other alternative was there? What befell the fallen was obscene. A heart torn to ribbons was luxury beyond compare. My wings gave. I collapsed to the forest ground. I now must run to escape the knaves That slaughtered my kinmates that they found. I hid beneath a willow tree To try and unearth hope sanguine. And from my eyes beget a sea From which I cried a steady stream. The machines barged in the dawn before, Smokestacks blowing toxic wreaths. In front gaped giant mouths that tore Through the village with silver teeth. The first faes caught within the maw Found themselves bound with shackles. The only sound louder than their calls Were the human drivers' callous cackles. From underneath their prey were skewered, Then dipped into a vat of gold. I was left fraught and bewildered When they emerged a lifeless mold. The mechanical monsters were most unpiteous When they claimed my sister Asphodel. She cried out my name, "Amaryllis!" With whirring gears as her knell. Now alone, I rubbed my fairy's brooch Upon which my name was etched. I had hope to escape before they approached, But alas, a hope farfetched. The artificial fiends crashed through the verdant arbor. Their fangs sank into me, roaring amuck. And as I joined the party macabre I screamed aloud: "you loathsome f-" A young lady paced through a store. She meandered gracefully, wondering if any stray merchandise would elicit her fancy. As she went down an aisle, a glint caught her eye. Sticking up from a box were little humanoid trinkets, meant to be pitched up as garden decorations. She chuckled "oh how cute" as she plucked one up and twirled the stem around in her palm. She admired the realistic detail, from the aquatic sheen in its eyes to its tiny pendant that read a legible "Amaryllis"

2021: "Thanks!"
2025: "Impressive play!"
A notice from Pokemon Unite detailing how online communication will work. "Praise teammates using quick chat: A new quick chat filled with preset messages will be added to the lobby. After a battle ends, you'll be able to send teammates messages, such as "Excellent teamwork last battle!" or "Impressive play!" The "Thanks" message was historically used sarcastically and passive-aggressively before it was removed.

I actually do put the gay agenda in classrooms because, as an Economics teacher, I think it's cool to know that John Maynard Keynes is likely the most consequential economist of the 20th century and also was *powerfully* bisexual.

ARTISTS: there’s a scam going around where someone will commission you, you send the sketch and they will claim it’s AI and ask to be refunded.

• do not refund the person

• POST their @ - do not keep them censored

• ONLY send watermarked low res WIPs. it doesn’t matter if it’s a mutual or not.

Play it Later - Gator Days
Transcript Panel 1 August has just finished downloading a game that he's been looking forward to playing. Unfortunately, he also has to get to work so he doesn't have time to playing it right now. On his computer screen is the notice that the download is complete and an option to tip "15%", "30%", or "50%". August (thinking): I've been waiting for this game forever. I'll play it after work. Panel 2 It's later in the evening and August is making dinner. He's putting some onions in a pot and thinking about his new game. As much as he'd like to be playing right now, they got to eat and he promised his son one of his favorite dinners. August (thinking): I'll play it after dinner. Gustopher: TACO SOUP! TACO SOUP! Panel 3 Dinner is done but August is exhausted. He goes to bed and his two cats have quickly settled in for sleep. August thinks about his game but he just doesn't have the energy for it. August (thinking): Too tired... I'll play it later. Panel 4 August is woken up by his to cats touching his face and meowing for food. He'd like to play his new game, but there's things that have to be done and he has to get to work. August: I'll play it after work... Eventually. Nougat: Maw (possibly meaning "Excuse me good sir, but I find myself in a most peckish state and it be pleasing if you could find it fit to fill my dining bowl with your most delicious of food morsels. I apologize for waking you in this most undignified manner but it is imperative that I dine soon I fear that I might perish from this foul hunger.") Mewbert: Mew (possibly meaning "FEED ME! NOW!")

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Ok is anyone good with StreamLabs?

For whatever reason, whenever I get an event (follow, sub, raid) there is NO alert on the stream. If I open StreamLabs and press the ♻️ on the right, it will play the alert, but otherwise not automatically.

The 🔕 icon isn't helpful here.

I think I have fixed the issue where alerts didn't show up for follows/subs/raids/etc. I'm not totally sure unless someone subs or raids though.

I'm actually going to do Expert tier ranked Pokemon GO streams??? Playing Halloween Cup in Go Battle League!

"You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear,
You’ve got to be taught from year to year...
You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate—
You’ve got to be carefully taught!"

Happy Halloween!

Starting with a short morning stream. It's the last day of the month after all, so I need to wrap up my KoG run in Duel Links before the season ends.

Fittingly, I'll be trying the new Spirit Deck with Noah Kaiba!

RGG localizer Michele Howe (Neverwhere/Nevvie) has just passed. If you can, please share or donate to the fundraiser for a proper coronary report and final expenses.
Just after 12am local time (8am BST) on October 16th 2025, Nevvie collapsed mid-sentence and never regained consciousness. Despite the best efforts of myself and the emergency services she slipped away rapidly and was pronounced dead within the hour. The LA coroner won’t be investigating the cause of her sudden death because “she was fat”. I am pursuing a 3rd party investigation and waiting for more information. This happened six days after our 16th anniversary, Nevvie was 47. Four years ago we lost our home to a fire. This year she lost her father while I was in hospital for emergency spine reconstruction surgery. Though it could be stressful she had a job she loved at Sega, a company she could be proud to be part of, one she helped to unionize.
