THE CARTOGRAPHERS x MONSTER HUNTER
Quinn💛🤍💜🖤, a hunter🏹, is the first in a thousand years who remembers the dead. They wander kingdoms destroyed by colossal beasts, speaking to spirits in the hopes of piecing together what happened, and how they might undo what’s been done. #YA #F #ND #DVpit

THE CARTOGRAPHERS x MONSTER HUNTER
Long ago, a godly orb was destroyed that:
Cursed mortals to forget the dead ☠️
Scattered fragments that became unkillable shardbeasts👹
But, a young hunter🏹has come:
One who’s learned to hunt the beasts🐉
One who claims to speak to the dead💀

ADAM BINDER x demonology
Scraping by in Seattle, Spook is secretly a demonologist joined by a moody grimoire named Athric. They work with the homeless to take care of demons whenever one manages to portal in, but everything changes when signs start pointing at the city’s elites. #A #H #DVpit

DRESDEN FILES x demonology
A middling private eye and amateur demonologist uncovers a cabal of Seattle’s elites and dark mages summoning demons by using the city’s homeless as conduits for possession.
The time has come for Spook to trade in his laptop for a grimoire.

GRIMOIRES OF A GEISHA
By day, Spook is Sebastian Corbyn, a middling private eye. By night, Spook is, well, Spook, a demonologist tasked with protecting Seattle’s underbelly. The nights, however, keep getting longer and the demons more powerful as a trail leads him to the city’s elites.

Spook grew up not knowing why demons haunted him. Enter Patrice Corbyn, who trains him to hunt demons in Seattle’s underworld.
10 years and an estrangement later, Spook uncovers city elites building a portal to hell, and there’s only one person he can turn to.

HEIR OF THE WIND
Hungarian folktales are alive and breathing in the Mystic Plane, watching as a mortal wanders their forests for the first time in centuries. The teen claims to be a táltos, a shaman who can foresee the world’s end.
But is he crazy, or has the time truly come?

Ever since Robert was born with an extra toe, his Hungarian grandma said he was a táltos, a shaman who can see the future. He thought she was nuts, but when she sends him to a world of fairytales, he must embrace a heritage he never knew he had in order to get home.

Robert was born with an extra toe and spent his life hiding it. Now, his Hungarian grandma says it means he’s a táltos, one who can foresee armageddon. He’s sent to a realm where folktales are real and must complete his rite of passage so the world knows what’s coming

Spook grew up in foster care never knowing why shadowy figures haunted him. When Patrice Corbyn entered his life, she offered a home he never dreamed he’d have. Only, he never imagined his new start would turn into a life of killing demons in Seattle’s underworld. #A #H #preDV

Robert just wants to draw manga, but because he was born with an extra toe, his Hungarian grandma thinks he’s a táltos, a shaman who can see future doom. He always thought she was crazy, but then she sends him to a world of fairytales to undergo his shamanic journey. #YA #F #preDV

Right?

Long ago, a divine orb cursed mortals to forget the dead, then scattered into pieces. Its fragments became giant shardbeasts who terrorized a broken world, but a young archer has come, one who speaks with the dead—one who can hunt the beasts. #YA #F #preDV

I made dramatic changes and started metformin immediately. Not touching insulin but also not monitoring my blood sugar daily. By May my A1C was 6.7. with an average glucose of 144. Today my A1C was 5.1 with an average glucose of 100.
Believe in yourself, you can do it.

Alright story time. Six months ago I decided to be an adult and establish care with a primary Dr. He ran full blood work on me as part of it. They found that I had an A1C of 14 with average blood glucose of 355. I had to make some dramatic life changes immediately if I wanted to live.

Why do religious people even try to find things like the ark? Don't they have faith? Isn't looking for evidence to back up their beliefs counter to having faith?
Then again if you believe in a whole world flood, you aren't the brightest to begin with.

Was trimming some shale at work for educational outreach and split this nice cedar family piece out. There hasn't been a lot of work done on the conifers at our site so family level is about as good as it gets.

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider :
are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.
*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.
*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.
maybe you're not being negative *enough*
