This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

ActionAid India

SEEDS India

GlobalGiving

So unlike Mario, who continues to be essentially a void with no internality, I actually act with thoughts and intent and already did do that when writing this post.

hiiiiiii it's j 💕

yesterday i quit my job due to mistreatment from management. i was hoping to have a lot more time to figure things out before it got to this point, but things hit a fever pitch and i had to get out of there. i'm finding myself back at square one very suddenly, a lot more disabled than i was last time i had to job hunt, and frankly i'm. scared :')

i'm very thankful that my partner, their parents, and our roommates are willing to be flexible in helping cover some of my expenses while i rest and recover and find a new job, but i still need some extra support to make ends meet.

trying to build up savings so i can pay rent and our utility bills over the coming months is my main concern right now. any help at all is deeply deeply appreciated ... even just reblogging helps a ton. thank you all 💖

i currently have enough money in my bank account to pay for rent this month, but we need to get groceries this week and the utility bills are coming up as well.

setting my goal for making rent since i'll most likely have to pull from what i currently have saved to pay for everything else:

$0/$370

However, the ranger has the following information about the beast:

It has black claws.

It has a red coat.

It has 10-pointed yellow horns.

It hunts children for fun.

It jealously guards the resources of the forest.

It doesn’t look like an animal.

It is cruel.

It is bad.

The ranger looks at the king and notices that:

The king wears black gloves.

He wears a red cape.

He wears a gold crown with points.

Further, through the story we understand:¥

He has beaten up a fairly small child.

Her job description is to guard the resources on the king’s behalf.

The beast can take a unexpected form.

It is monstrous (beastly) to ask your employee to execute a child.

Her boss is the real bad guy!!

She replies “I will (kill the beast)” and fires the arrow. We don’t see who she is firing at, but it is implied that she has realized that the king is the beast.

The creator has framed the reveal so that the reader and the ranger come to the same conclusion at the same time. They have deliberately chosen to leave the ending ambiguous - they are not showing the result of the choice. This creates tension. It also means that readers who didn’t get the reveal might be confused and try again, experiencing understanding and satisfaction when they trip the mechanism. Readers like the feelings they get from activating a reveal. Creators like it when people pay attention (the closer the better) to their work.
