Be Careful What You NeverWish For (...'Cause You're Gonna Really Get It!)

Valentines' Day, starting on Zamargad...
"Ah, what another dreamy eternal night..." I thought, breathing in all the intoxicatingly crisp air that was just waiting to be christened with enchantment and mayhem...  

My next contemplation abruptly interrupted that brief, peaceful pause, "...Wait a minute!  Something's not quite as deliciously evil as it should be.  ...Where the hell is Samael?  And on Valentines' Day of all things!"  I leaped up, unleashing this beast, to find out just what was *SO* much more important than this particular eve!

I found him over the cauldron, curiously.  

"...Now what's he up to?  ...All responsibility and adulting be damned... tonight is OUR night!"  ...No time to wonder if my thoughts were so loud, that he'd completely be taken aback by the mere smell of them before I could even care to present myself enough, to give him the opportunity to reciprocate a proper foreplay greeting by our true names...

I know he heard me, tho, I said it loud and clear in my head, in a wavelength that only demons can comprehend, "Samael," hoping to then be greeted by his attentive "Lilith..." ...But I anticipated wrongly...

"Crystal, crystal..." he chanted, pretending not to notice me and trying to hide a smirk.
...Who's the most omnipotent motherfucker of them all?
"...That's NOT my name!" I bellowed, trying to also hide a smirk ...The kind you get, right before you deck a pranky fuck for being so cheeky!

He ignored me until he finished, "...Crystal... BALL!  ...Who's the most omnipotent motherfucker of them all?" he then turned to me and pointed at himself, with a big wicked smile ...hoping to impress someone in the nearby vicinity.

I leered at him, since he was dismissing the obvious duality here.  "...I know, I know... And you're the biggest 'fan of man...'" I started, quoting "Devil's Advocate," and I let a moment of the "Pinocchio" story gently slap the presence and trickle back off into my thoughts, just right, until I felt his eyes follow and bear into me, almost completely, until it was appropriately my turn to tease... 
a HUGE... erhm, hint
...So I did, speaking of wood, I stuck out my tongue and hoped to give him a HUGE... erhm, hint, and continued with a giggle (as if white rabbits could laugh ...at least not while doing suggestive tricks with their mouth, anyway), "...I know what you really need... But are you still sharp enough to keep up with me, old man?"

Before I could mostly give that thought closure, I winked, shot up my arms to pierce into the atmosphere, and in the instant that they flapped back down, I vanished into time and space, leaving nothing but my clothing to fall to the floor (it's easier when you travel light) ...in a wafting kind of Maleficent reverb of glee!

The hunt was on!  No stupid cliches or wasted predictability!  ...No turning into an asteroid or molecule.  No being an inconspicuous Goth surfer.  No...  Where do you hide something that you don't want to be found?  

In plain sight.  ;)
 
...IDK who set the TARDIS to random, but all I can say is that I was thinking that if my Valentines' Day outfit wasn't noticeable, cute, slutty, or whatever-the-fuck enough... For sure, I wanted to look like Disneyland on Ecstasy now!  And so, where else would I be drawn to, other than the hole-in-the-wall Hollywood-looking place of NeverWish?
Enter, NeverWish!
And you're damned skippy if you didn't doubt that I nabbed the new "*NeverWish* Happy Holo Set - Fatpack" as soon as I arrived!  Like, it just rescued me by magnetizing itself onto my body, right from the shelf!  \m/

Happy Holo is a sorta vinyl material that fits LegacyMaitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies.  You can wear the clear or regular top and skirt together or separately (don't forget your favorite pasties or jewelry with the clear version) ...oOoOo, mix and match!  :D
NeverWish Happy Holo Ad (NEW)!
Now, of course, I'm an indigo freak, but the fact that there are a shit-ton of options leaves me urging you to try it for yourself and see!  Pixie Ruby ALWAYS has demos ...she totally gets it and respects those of us who come from the school of "no demo, no sale!"  The black choice is a second favorite of mine, it kinda makes me feel like you become a blacklight (I'm not exactly fully convinced that the advertisement picture quite does it justice).  ;)  

It's a personal predilection, but there are 10 different colors and 9 different thread-framing neons.  You can also adjust the glow percent, plus even toggle fullbright.  I believe those last 2 aforementioned preferences only seem to affect the thread-framing neon, but it could just be my own optical illusion.  ;)  All in all, the whole thing is very light + eye catchy, so, I just know you're gonna L♥VE it too!  :)  
Oh, the possibilities!
As they say, if "the shoe makes the man," then a Goddess should adorn herself as the badass that she is ...mMm'kay?!  xD  \m/  ♥  ...Personally, I went ahead and committed to the regular (not clear) version for both the top and skirt, in the last/bottom indigo version, with blue neon trim at fullbright (I believe that's actually the default when you open your fatpack, but it seems to be my current favorite).  ;)

...Oh, yeah... 

While I was there, I also snatched up a little surprise for later ...but speaking of such, I quickly, quickly, had to find somewhere else to zap myself to!  ...Not that Samael is the kind of demon whom I would actually make hold my purse and all that, as I clean out the entire shop... But, still!  As awesome as our clever little stealthy game was going, I swear I heard his thoughts laughing louder, and therefore getting closer  ...So it was definitely time to bail!

...Now, for some reason, I was inspired by the dramatic effect of glowing things thriving in the darkness, so I next found myself in a lush forest ...accompanied by the heat of many techno-dancing pixies, fairies, elves, drows, dragons, and the like!  
Rave lights!
"...Nice, a rave!" I thought and reminded myself that I really must be more absent-minded...  Because the next thing I knew, I felt the most sacrilegious and deafening omnipresence...

I thought I heard his mind grin, "Of course, I found you..." but all I saw were shadows in the distance amongst the radiance.  It began to cause me concern, but I was promptly distracted again by all the welcoming intensity ...Including the drow with the glowing runic tatts that began rubbing up against me in the most delicious way!  xD  ;)

...See, Samael and I are actually immortal and billions of antediluvian years old... Plus demons do need to devour souls on occasion, to feed energy back into the ecosystem that you all refer to as the "cycle of life" (or rather, as we like to call it, "the cycle of rebirth")... So naturally, to manipulate you all, sometimes we tell you that we're in an open relationship and play with you a bit first... Or sometimes we'll even possess you... Whatever it takes to get the job done...  The main point of anything is to do it right, by having the most fun in doing so...  ;)

...But after about what felt like almost sunrise, of sparkly sweat mixing with mine until there was practically no difference between my majik and others'... And regarding the fact that it was VALENTINES' EVE ... I had just about had afuckingnough, already!  xD

I was about to send out a beacon of, "Where the hell are you?" but before I could even fathom such, the most sensual nearby drow evaporated into Samael, with a pointedly crescent Cheshire Cat snicker.
I will always come for you
...Fuck bewilderment, I immediately danced with him into the swift envelopment of relief and satisfaction... stirring up an even warmer vivacity of romance within the crowd... It intensely emanated from our locked eyes... until I didn't even realize we ended up in a whole other clearing and 
 
...what crowd?
...we are the willows...
The flood of our deep telepathy proved that words are indeed meaningless.  It's a bit hard to translate, but, I mean, things like, "Glad you found me, I really missed you," or, "I was always with you, I never left, you complete me," can sound trivial or even a bit stalkerish when said out loud...
...gimmie the vividly divine...
...Instead, our dual perception of everything is very vividly divine...

Boundaries get pushed by not only sharing senses, but feelings, and all vast perceptions ...Completely and endlessly, because we're tapped into everything... to the point where our lucidity is gracefully fluid in this existence of dreams.
...take me to where there is no end or beginning...
OhHhhh.  

And when we take the time to only focus on just us... It's mind-blowingly profound (take your best orgasm and multiply it by at least 1k)  ...Like, the spinning of your solar system bows, and new chemical compounds get made in other parts beyond the stars, because we acknowledged and then defied every current law known to science.

Not many can handle a bond like this  ...But let's just say that mediocrity is very much why transcendence keeps the sapios fulfilled.  ;)  
<---X♥X♥--<<
...And, yup, you guessed it!  Samael definitely got, and matched, my beaming message (of what you might consider an all-encompassing, deep connection of "love" ...that, being the next best definition)!  ;)

Although, I think we have been satisfyingly twisting and spinning the concept ...since even before the confirmation of the ouroboros, really.  xD  ♥

...There's more than enough fun to keep going 'round, tho, as the "*NW* Candy Heart Nipple Ring - Fatpack" has more variety than you can flick your tail at...!
Afterglow, with HUD choices
For example, there are five extra colors that come in the Fatpack BONUS color HUD!  ...I used the small Maitreya rigged nipple rings, with the first exclusive iridescent purple color + I had the "XOXO" stamped on both ... and of course, I'm a silver/moon Goddess chick!  \m/

This Fatpack does include rigged versions for Maitreya + Maitreya Petite, Hourglass, Freya + Freya with nipples on, 2 versions for Kupra, and even unrigged sizes!  Everything comes in BIG and small sizes, plus you are able to resize the unrigged versions: to your contentment!

Additionally, you can elect to have any of these variants engraved on them too (or you can choose to keep them "PLAIN")...  
  • SLUT
  • EVIL
    NeverWish Logo
  • ANGEL
  • MILF
  • XOXO
  • BABY
  • YOU WISH
  • LOVE YOU
  • I'M YOURS
  • SPANK ME
  • BITE ME
  • FUCK ME
  • LICK ME
  • EAT ME

...Now, it's true, I did first see these in TSS on 11FEB23...
TSS - NeverWish Candy Heart Nipple Rings
...Which is probably why I was all the more motivated to pick them up on this Valentines' Day adventure...
Inworld - NeverWish Candy Heart Nipple Rings
And share with you just why I absolutely L♥VE NeverWish!  \m/

...Oh yeah, and Samael, of course, too!  xD  ;)
 


Now here're some extra credits for you ...while we recuperate from all the frolicking...

...or not!  xD  \m/

SPECS:
  • This entry was specially done for NeverWish.  ...If you're also a blogger, please get in touch with me so we can link to each other, thank you!  :)  ♥
  • Some product pictures came directly from NeverWish's media, they are not mine, please look to Pixie Ruby and Seraphim.  :)
  • All other pictures in this piece were taken from the Black Dragon viewer and fine-tuned in Photoshop.  This is the first time I have done such a thing, so I don't have much advice, other than to point you to YouTube tutorials and the Black Dragon Discord.
  • I have 2 monitors, one is a small flat-screen TV with HDMI hook-up and the other is a newer-grade old-school computer monitor from the thrift store (that needed a converter to be connected).  All picture colors/lighting rely on what I see rendered on the TV, as I feel that's newer and what everyone may generally see (although I've been told they're a bit too dark ...settings may need to be adjusted, accordingly).
  • With the exception of the NeverWish store, all other pictures were taken in the Zamargad region.
  • In the interest of reducing overkill redundancy, some things may look like they were omitted, but they were already acknowledged ---> in this post ...Please check it out for further details if you're interested, thank you!  :)

Golden Calf In Sheep's Clothing

         Beware the beguiling con artists who "want to be closer to you" by
Golden Calf In Sheep's Clothing...
talking in voice and video 99% of the time...  For, they can record you, and only tell you that they did so, if the interaction turned out favorable.  They can talk over you and steamroll you, manipulating and coercing you into their own agendas, by voice inflection and connotation.  They can convince you that your real life with them means more, while denying access to ever actually meeting you there (and omit to you, the other ppl that they did see in person, during).  And they can almost never offer to spend any time with you in Second Life, because you don't know or care that your avatar is just as outdated as theirs... In fact, they toss the concept of "accepting one for who one truly is (because love and beauty are not superficial or skin deep)" out the window, and replace it with words that sound wise, because they somehow have the authority to make claims on something to do with an inverted Proteus effect  ...Meanwhile, you're a good enough tool to do their dirty work, but you're never good enough to reap the reward you were originally after, because there's always a convenient excuse (like that they irrecoverably live in Neverland, and your rescue attempts are purposefully repelled to perpetual snipe hunts within your own insecurities).  

Indeed, it may not seem like narcissistic, controlling, toxic, or even predatory behavior until they didn't predict seeing incognito you, embedded in their crowd, analyzing and making sense of things.  But never you worry about their talent of being able to spin damage control, for they deny being the "Gods" everyone fondly refers to them as --so they're totally more innocent, believable, and powerful than you.  

They already, unfortunately, proved your desperate test that money means more to them than love, as traditional values seem to have no more meaning, especially for them, no matter how you try to reach them (Proverbs 1:19).  Let's just say that they're such an excellent Lothario, that they should go fuck themselves as well.  No matter what, tho, they need to know that the buck stops here on their "you won the lottery in love from inside a virtual reality platform" scam.  

You can block them, you can deny them, you can cast voodoo chants and bury them, you can Feng Shui your life, set a path for transcendence, burn everything and leave no trace behind  ...But these sociopaths are a relentless force after your heart - as it seems the easiest target and most satisfying thing for them to have ever devoured (after all, they have none of their own, and yours just might fit the bill).  

Not acknowledging it doesn't keep them from having power over you.  And oversaturating yourself in failure analyzation doesn't help you gain any back.  Best, acceptance and knowledge... To give it back to your higher power (so energy can be expedited back to its source), and by everyone simply being aware of the warning signs (so they can make educated decisions on how to heed avoidance with all that's valued while moving forward).  


You are worthy of love, my friend.  
You ARE loved!  Don't trade down -find a compliment!
You do not need "ppl" like this to have it.
We love you, even if indirectly and anonymously.  
You also come from the infinite aetherial of love.  
So there's no reason why you shouldn't love yourself too.

Two by two, they go off into Noah's ark

Leaving behind all the Peter Pan or overly ridiculously controlling men who very unfairly distinguish as they age 

...To breed and dominate with more of it...

Ruling the fucking world, according to business, economics... and science... and anything else that actually matters

And take and take and fucking take...

Majik's favorite book: Clive Barker's The Thief of Always, chapter 8 illustration
(To the point where pieces of celebratory silverware, and God knows whatever else, from a woman's graduation of homelessness to an unknowingly lifelong career, had been discovered to be missing for absolutely no other logical explanation)

Victoriously destroying, pillaging, and plundering

Leaving these women to bitter with power envy:

As they lose their bargaining chips for marriage, when the inability to procreate leaves them...

...Since all men ever want to do is plant their seed to carry on their name

All the women who wasted their lives trying to convince these asshats that they should be married... 

So much for safety in numbers

By buying into monogamy before marriage

By stupidly believing in enlightenment, freedom, fairness, and the scientific method more than, say, Dr. Phil

And by not selfishly trapping these men into marriage (or tying them to their lives) by "accidentally" getting pregnant

Not that the responsibility of this limbo punishment should be passed on to any other being ...even on purpose, anyway 

(...hooray for double income no kids ...disappointing illusion... whatever...)

They give and they give and fucking give, until they break...

Of their bodies, their minds, and whatever else they are told is love

...Just to be used and cast aside like trash because whoever they are is, and always will be, ultimately meaningless

And lonely

Forever and ever until they learn all their lessons and can finally transcend away from this Godforsaken rock

Imbolc, Saint Brigid's, & Groundhog Day

1/2 the grid = outage and revert
(Gyazo picture taken of SL World Map by LGH GM Kasabian Constantine, as we watched 50% of the grid revert)

Yesterday was LL-Break-It-Day, er, I mean, weekly reset day.  Each region will be reset each week, on either Tuesday or Wednesday.  RC Channel regions start their weekly reset on Wednesday.  Apparently, some lazy-ish script coding led to some disaster and the necessity to revert 50% of the grid.  Since SL's integration of their servers to the Amazon Cloud, which I fondly refer to as "the LL fart," it is mostly undeterminable (or at least harder to figure out) as to which regions are still considered RC Channel.  

The fun started as soon as I noticed that both Zamargad (my home) and Business Park (of LGH) are on RC Channel.  Early on in the morning, Linden Gold Hunt fishing rods were no longer working due to this bug.  Someone noticed and shared a JIRA being tracked.  The chaos was a bit quelled with players' realizations that older versions of their rods or even Beginner rods were able to still function, while Wili worked on replacing them.  However, some residents faced trouble logging back in or rebaking.  Several orange cloud avatars were still able to use their rods by touching them from inventory, while others were able to simply adjust their shape to get their avatar back.  We all anxiously watched the Grid Status page for over 6 hours.

Last LL-Break-It-Day included a repetitive sound issue, and Wili replaced my rod then.  During this issue, my new rod became broken and my old one from that previous mess seemed to work again.  As I couldn't go home, I decided to take my chances by continuing to fish, while observing the World Map before each teleport.  If the region wasn't red, it was good to go to, and even better if there were dots already on it (representing residents).  

After all was said and done, several residents reported several rezzed items missing.  As I'm still rebuilding Zamargad (from having just acquired it all back, being distracted by helping Spider with his Peach project, and SL kid having decorated meanwhile), I haven't noticed much impact, compared to some of the things I heard about breedable companies needing to shell out massive food to keep several players' investments alive during all this.

The best thing I can say from witnessing this experience firsthand, is that when this kind of trouble ensues, residents do end up throwing their normal disdain for one another out the window, and band together to find ways to make the grid function on the whole, anyway.  Very impressive and I thank you for that.  Here's to the greater good of tenacity, progress, and prevalence.

Bite-Sized Blender Classes Now Offered @ Builder's Brewery!

Builder's Brewery
Hello, all!

As a long-time group member of Builder's Brewery, I just happened to see an interesting notice this past week about bite-sized Blender classes now being offered for free!  Making mesh is pretty much the bread and butter of any designer who wants to create the most desirable things in SL (and, of course, it's super cool that you can now utilize mesh locally).  ...So, of course, I had to check it out, and I can say now that I think you should too!  :D  

Blender Benders


As you may know, I had been trying for a long time to be a part of the Blender Benders classes, but have always seemed to find it way too overwhelming and inconvenient (despite those teachers being uber nice by offering to somewhat work with me on a reasonable, individual basis, and allowing me to make up classes).  See, their classes start during the holidays, and not only do I work retail, but that's usually the time I have to fill out a massive recertification packet... Blech.  I have tried taking the very first class a few times now, and cannot think of anything to do with Suzanne, other than smashing her into bits and pieces, LOL!  ...So I thought to myself, "Why not try the Builder's Brewery classes, and then once that's set, if I still want, I can go back to Blender Benders?"  \m/


Blender
I don't have any regrets!  The Builder's Brewery 1st class is EXTREMELY easy.  Everyone is literally just figuring out how to maneuver their creations inside the Viewport and learning the terminology.  That's it!  It's about an hour and 1/2.  And you learn the correct way to upload your very first Blender cube!  ...Easy-peasy!

When you go to the Builder's Brewery landing point, make sure to join their group and touch their sign about Bite-Sized Blender classes, so you can get a very informative folder with some information that may look very much like mine...

This first NC is put together by Forth Shepherd and is called "Bite-sized Blender: Frequently-Asked Questions"

~~~~~~~~~~~       BITE-SIZED BLENDER FAQs     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The new series of BITE-SIZED BLENDER classes will begin at the Builder's Brewery in January 2023. 
Read on to learn more about them.

1. WHAT IS BLENDER?
Blender is the software commonly used to create mesh objects for use in Second Life. It is available for download free of charge at https://www.blender.org/download.
Blender is a powerful package with a big learning curve. At Builder's Brewery, we offer classes at several different levels for anyone who wants to learn to use Blender for their own creations.

◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  

2. WHAT IS BITE-SIZED BLENDER?
Bite-sized Blender is a new set of lessons at Builder's Brewery, suitable for anyone who has never used Blender before.
We have divided these Beginners' lessons into several small independent units, which you can take at any time.

◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆

4. WHAT DO I NEED BEFORE I CAN START BITE-SIZED BLENDER LESSONS?
Before starting these lessons, you should do two things.

A. INSTALL BLENDER ON YOUR HOME COMPUTER
    1. Open your browser to download the file via this link...  
    2. If you're running Windows 10 or 11, get the INSTALLER version (it's an .msi file), not the Portable (.zip). 
        Mac users are ok to download from the main download page.
    3. When the download is complete, use it to install Blender.
        Open Blender and check that you see the splash screen, like this
(This link shows the splash screen for Blender version 3.3.1. If you are using a different version, it will look a bit different.)

B.  GET PERMISSION TO UPLOAD MESH OBJECTS TO SECOND LIFE
    1. Check your account on the SL website (go to Account -> Mesh Upload Status).
    2. Follow the steps as shown, until you see this on your Mesh Upload Status...

◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  ◆  

5. DO I NEED TO TAKE THE UNITS IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER?
You can take any unit whenever it is being taught, but you should not take a unit unless you have already taken the necessary preceding units. 
This diagram shows the sequencing of units which you should follow.

9. WHAT IS THE COST OF THESE CLASSES?
