Ajaklis is my Name

um …

A semi-literate, 16+ My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic based Discord roleplay server, filled with new, in-depth lore and heavier plotlines such as political strife, natural, and perhaps unnatural, disasters, historical mystery and intrigue, and so much more. While overarching plotlines will be present, Devotees’ Descendants will rely greatly on character driven plot as well, with new interactions between characters always encouraged.  Applications will be open from October 1st through October 8th 10pm CST! Follow the links to our tumblr page to read more about the carefully crafted lore and google docs application form.

Alright, so. Coffee. I don’t drink coffee. I have no desire to drink coffee. I find people who enthusiastically go on about the flavor differences of lattes, espressos, and french press brews, both amusing and mildly baffling. All the coffee ads. Coffee jokes. Bustling coffee shops. To me, all coffee is similarly bitter and unpleasant. I have been through so many “Try this, it’s sweet! You can’t even taste the coffee!”  Alas, I always can. And I’m  sensitive to caffeine anyway. So, I don’t really think about drinking it when I wake up or am tired.

 Yet I love the smell of coffee. I love the idea of coffee. The feeling of a warm cup taking the chill from my fingers, the cozy ritual of having a drink and chat. I might try someone’s coffee. If they ask, if I want to please them and share in something they enjoy. I am also perfectly capable of learning the preferences of those I care about and creating a cup for their pleasure. 

But I don’t want coffee, generally speaking. I will probably make a face after trying their coffee and wash the taste out with something else. They may rush to reassure me that it is an acquired taste. And I’ll have to reply that it’s a taste I don’t particularly care about acquiring in the way they did. ‘Drink it till you like it’ will never work for me.

So…

Monsters & Maw hit 10,000 followers last night. And I nearly passed out.

I never imagined when I started this blog, as a place to share my monster and fantasy stories, that quite so many people would be interested in my writing.

Collectively, you’ve given me more support, more joy, more laughs, more generally happy feels than I have experienced in a long time, and it’s been one hell of an amazing ride.

You’ve drawn fan art for me, dropped asks in my inbox to entertain, encourage, share, and inspire, and I’m humbled that you’ve given me even a few seconds of your time, energy, and attention. So thank you.

In order to thank you properly, I’m running a small giveaway.

1st place: a 3000 word story (posted here on Monsters & Maw) with a reader or character of your choice and a monster/non-human of your choice. Further details to be discussed in chat after you’ve been notified of your win. Plus one of each sticker sheet below, and a Monsters&Maw logo sticker.

Usual commissions rules apply, so you must have read those before you enter. If you want the stickers, you must be willing to provide me with a name and address for postage (worldwide, don’t worry). Details will only be used by me for the purposes of this giveaway and will not be sold or distributed elsewhere.

2nd place: one 500 word short story plus one sticker sheet and one Maw logo sticker.

3rd place: one Maw sticker and one 100 word drabble.

Contest will close at midnight on December 31st 2019. No notes will be counted after that. I will contact the winners on January 1st 2020. If I do not hear back within 24hrs of my contacting them, a new person will be selected for that slot.

You don’t have to be following me already, but I think it’d be polite if you were.

It’s fine if you don’t want to give me your address for the stickers - I can just write you the story

Meet Mary Numair, a 29-year-old copywriter from Portland, Oregon. She describes herself as a “generally kind person” and likes cats.

Over the last few weeks, Mary had seen a woman holding a sign that read “abortion kills children” outside the Planned Parenthood building near her office.

Mary said she is a supporter of Planned Parenthood – the non-profit organisation that provides reproductive health and family-planning support in the U.S. and internationally – because it had helped her personally in the past. When she was 20years old, the clinic treated her for UTIs and yeast infections. They also provided her with her first birth-control pills.

“Planned Parenthood is vital resource for so many people,” she told BuzzFeed News.“We have to look beyond the pro-life/pro-choice debate and recognize this organization is out there providing some of the most important care to our sensitive medical needs.”

After several failed attempts at approaching the protesters outside her local clinic to discuss their complaints and reason with them, she decided to try a different approach.

Yesterday, Mary approached the anti-Planned Parenthood protesters while chanting “yeast infection” and holding [a sign].

“The protesters kept moving their children away from my yeasty cries, so I kept moving closer,” she joked.

“Initially they had spread down the sidewalks on both sides of the street, but after some yelling and high kicks on my part, they huddled together,” she said.

“They glared at my princess wave and cheerleader enthusiasm, and they began a prayer circle. This is when I really shined. I have never made my voice louder.”

After a short while, Mary’s chant ended up driving the protesters away. She said they grew tired of her shouts and eventually left, shaking their heads.

“One woman turned around during their prayer to shake her head at me, to which I responded: ‘OMG do you have a yeast infection? I know who can help you!’ She covered her kid’s ears,” she said.

Mary said although one man drove past and called her a “whore” from his car, many others were “really supportive”.

Does Mary have any plans for other similar protests? “Fuck. Yes. I. Do,” she replied. (source)

I can’t even tell you how happy this makes me. Thank you @buzzfeed lol. We definitely need to do this EVERYWHERE bc it’s time to make those shithead anti-choicers uncomfortable hahah
