Uraeus before turning immortal, cheering up the First Guardian.
I know it's a bit confusing so I shall explain below the cut :)
Uraeus is an immortal hybrid shifter, meaning he can shift into two animals. Hybrids were new during his youth, though their chance of making it past infancy was below 1%. He was one of the rare babies, but he was ostrichsized from society because of his mixed blood. His mother was a King Cobra shifter and his father was a Boxer Jellyfish shifter.
Because he wasn't a full blood of either side, Uraeus had no control of the venom in his body. He became sick at at 12 in the midst of a march for hybrid rights. He had been bed-ridden until he was 17, when the First Guardian found him on his d3athbed.
She made him immortal using a ring, saw his potential and made him one of her four Protectors.
Since he can't take this ring off himself, Uraeus has been wandering around thousands of years after the First Guardians passing. The world knows him as the Living Fossil, as he is one of the two people who fought alongside the First Guardian.
I want to live by myself when I move out of my parent's place but I'm really afraid of money problems? I'm afraid that the only place I can afford will be in the ghetto and it'll all be torn apart and I'll only be allowed to eat one granola bar a week. I'm really stressing out about this. I don't know anything about after school life. I don't know anything about paying bills or how to buy an apartment and it's really scaring me. is there anything you know that can help me?

difference between insurances
Once you’ve looked over all those cool links, I have some general advice for you on how you can have some sort of support system going for you:
You may decide to leave home for many different reasons, including:
wishing to live independently
location difficulties – for example, the need to move closer to university
conflict with your parents
being asked to leave by your parents.
It’s common to be a little unsure when you make a decision like leaving home. You may choose to move, but find that you face problems you didn’t anticipate, such as:
Unreadiness – you may find you are not quite ready to handle all the responsibilities.
Money worries – bills including rent, utilities like gas and electricity and the cost of groceries may catch you by surprise, especially if you are used to your parents providing for everything. Debt may become an issue.
Flatmate problems – issues such as paying bills on time, sharing housework equally, friends who never pay board, but stay anyway, and lifestyle incompatibilities (such as a non-drug-user flatting with a drug user) may result in hostilities and arguments.
Think about how your parents may be feeling and talk with them if they are worried about you. Most parents want their children to be happy and independent, but they might be concerned about a lot of different things. For example:
They may worry that you are not ready.
They may be sad because they will miss you.
They may think you shouldn’t leave home until you are married or have bought a house.
They may be concerned about the people you have chosen to live with.
Reassure your parents that you will keep in touch and visit regularly. Try to leave on a positive note. Hopefully, they are happy about your plans and support your decision.
Tips include:
Don’t make a rash decision – consider the situation carefully. Are you ready to live independently? Do you make enough money to support yourself? Are you moving out for the right reasons?
Draw up a realistic budget – don’t forget to include ‘hidden’ expenses such as the property’s security deposit or bond (usually four weeks’ rent), connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.
Communicate – avoid misunderstandings, hostilities and arguments by talking openly and respectfully about your concerns with flatmates and parents. Make sure you’re open to their point of view too – getting along is a two-way street.
Keep in touch – talk to your parents about regular home visits: for example, having Sunday night dinner together every week.
Work out acceptable behaviour – if your parents don’t like your flatmate(s), find out why. It is usually the behaviour rather than the person that causes offence (for example, swearing or smoking). Out of respect for your parents, ask your flatmate(s) to be on their best behaviour when your parents visit and do the same for them.
Ask for help – if things are becoming difficult, don’t be too proud to ask your parents for help. They have a lot of life experience.
Not everyone who leaves home can return home or ask their parents for help in times of trouble. If you have been thrown out of home or left home to escape abuse or conflict, you may be too young or unprepared to cope.
If you are a fostered child, you will have to leave the state-care system when you turn 18, but you may not be ready to make the sudden transition to independence.
If you need support, help is available from a range of community and government organisations. Assistance includes emergency accommodation and food vouchers. If you can’t call your parents or foster parents, call one of the associations below for information, advice and assistance.

Kids Helpline Tel. 1800 55 1800

Centrelink Crisis or Special Help Tel. 13 28 50

Try to solve any problems before you leave home. Don’t leave because of a fight or other family difficulty if you can possibly avoid it.
Draw up a realistic budget that includes ‘hidden’ expenses, such as bond, connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.
Remember that you can get help from a range of community and government organizations.

Keep me updated? xx
“I love you.” He said beneath the obnoxious song of the crickets. His onyx irises stared up at the night sky, at the thousands of stars watching this one scene that would not be known to anyone else.
Just him, her, and the stars.
Madison felt her heart drop into the depths of Tartarus as the small smile that once graced her soft lips disappeared into the light fog that caressed the two of them. What did he just say?
He... He loved her?
She stared down at the grass they sat upon, glistening with the morning dew. The sun had not kissed this part of Earth just yet, but it was leaving the other side of the world quickly.
A part of the world she had yet to defend.
Ever since she had learned about this new Guardian stuff and all the secrets her so-called parents kept from her, life as an oblivious city girl seemed so perfect right now. Everyone was depending on her, all eyes were on her now.
Now Malory just had to come out of nowhere with a confession of love.
Madison spotted the large silvery wings that replaced the male’s arms since birth. They were so beautiful, slightly ruffled as Malory anxiously waited for her response. They reminded her of the first comet she had ever seen after leaving the city for the first time.
It brought back the memory of their first meeting.
What could she say? ‘Sorry, but I’m not interested.’? ‘There’s someone else.’? She felt no romantic love for the male before her, yet her mind was pleading for her to say something that wouldn’t hurt the both of them.
‘Think, Brain, THINK!’
The whole time they had known each other, Malory had been nothing but good to her. He had sacrificed so much for her, her safety, and her goal. To hurt him right here on this hill of daisies?
She’d be no better than the ones who nearly killed him.
“I love you too.” She lied.
It had slid past her lips do smoothly, so effortlessly, yet the pain behind it was unbearable.
She had lied to one of the only people supporting her in this war.
Malory smiled down at her, unknowing of the lie she had pierced his heart with. His gargantuan wings slowly held her in a hesitant, yet loving, embrace. Madison limply followed along, hearing his heartbeat as she stared at the two dark, identical scars beneath his chest.
This heart, beating so strongly for her... would soon be broken.
They stood there in each other’s hold, one happy beyond all knowledge, and one slowly dying in self-hate.
Just him, her, and the stars.
“ I love you.” He said
“I love you too” she lied.
For anyone who doesn't know what's going on in Canada right now (which, let's be real, is probably everyone who's not in Canada):
This week, a mass grave was discovered at a former Indian Residential School, in Kamloops, BC. The grave contained the bodies of 215 Indigenous children.
For people outside of North America, residential schools were places that Indigenous children were sent to, to have their language and culture stripped away from them. They were literally stolen from their families, and scattered across Canada, to ensure that they would be surrounded by children who didn't speak their language. They were given Christian names and forced to speak English. They were horrendously abused, and the survivors have been traumatized.
Hundreds of children never returned. The assumption has always been that they died. This has now been confirmed.
The school in Kamloops closed in 1978. They are now trying to identify bodies to inform family members. The last residential school closed in the 1990s. There is growing demand to search all of them, but the government hasn't responded to that, as of yet. Ottawa JUST gave in to pressure to fly the Canada flag at half mast. They weren't even going to do that.
This is the reality if anti-Indigenous racism in Canada. The residential schools may be closed, but that hasn't stopped the abduction of Indigenous children, let alone the hundreds of missing and murdered Indigenous women.
Egypt's first female ship captain Marwa Elselehdar has been falsely accused as being the captain of the Ever Given by some foreign media, in a story that went viral and garnered a lot of hate towards her.
The only problem? She was 370km away at the time, acting as the first mate of another ship (Aida IV) and had nothing to do with the situation in the Suez Canal.
I think we should all help spread this, since some people are still sharing the malicious slanderous fake posts about her!
hi everyone! i just wanted to explain the current situation right now. it’s been brought to my attention that there’s a user on wattpad by the name of ‘reslurr’ that has been reposting my works (more specifically my sae-byeok snippets). ive already dm them however so far there has been no response so i wanted to come here and ask for your guys help.
here’s the evidence of my most recent work which was published on the 11th while theirs was updated two days ago. if you guys could please report it so it gets taken down i would very much appreciate it! and if you guys see more of this please let me know!
also i’m sure most of you know, but i am not at all comfortable with people reposting my works. all my writing is exclusive to tumblr and tumblr only with the exception of my chishiya story on wattpad and ao3. also, this is not an excuse to send death threats or to bully this person. just simply asking them to take it down and letting people know it’s plagiarized is enough. thank you all, i love you!
In order: Fen (19), Mors (20) and Aeron (18). They're dating each other and are also in an international gang.
Fen is the explosion expert, Mors specializes in poisons and Aeron is a computer genius.

i just find it so weird that some of y’all have a big platform and continue to just ignore these serious ass issues. i get that politics isn’t for everyone. and that maybe you don’t wanna “talk” about it. but as a black person, it’s shoved in my face everyday. and in every other black person’s face.
we have no choice but to talk about it. so i just find it real weird that y’all just ignore these issues because they make you feel some type of way.
black people “feel some type of way” every day. we can’t escape this shit. so grow a pair and get your head out of your ass. it takes one simple reblog, and y’all still can’t do that. imagine.
