Corvus Splenden ~ My House Pet

Diamond-tailed and dusk-winged, the crow is more than bird—it's myth in flight. Large forebrains crafted for precision tool-making and poetic verse ;) Apollo darkened its feathers for betrayal, Odin sent ravens to whisper fate, and in Dreamtime the crow gifted life yet bound it to death, while the raven gifted shapeshifting. Dionysus, too, turned grief into black wings. Trickster, oracle, creator, thief—crows walk the line between shadow and sun. Watch them adapt and transform, they carry secrets of gods and the echoes of our own becoming. ~Dr. Dreamscape

ISO... Intelligent Conversation!!

I want to hear from all levels of our society whether you're A criminal or an aristocrat.... timid or vulgar..... rich or poor...... average person or weird AF. As long as you value learning different perspectives and crave discussion where even if our opinions are completely opposite (within reason and in the spirit of respectful dialogue and rational thought that is), we still leave with dignity and A new perspective. Also, sarcasm and dark humor are encouraged :)

You can cry alone and shout at the moon, but what’s it to ya? A victim is short of a victory, if he doesn’t choose it. Instead of crying until you fall asleep, profess it in a dream.

"Key-Kee!" Nadine echoed, her tiny hands gripping the floor as she crawled forward, her voice bubbling with excitement. "No, it is Kit-Ty," Harold corrected, shaking his head. "She says it wrong. She is still a baby," Elise said gently. "Meow, meow… meowww," Nadine mimicked the family cat, her tiny frame wiggling like a kitten in play. Eli dropped to his hands and knees beside her. "Meowww!" he exaggerated, scrunching his nose and wiggling his fingers like whiskers. "Ugh, this is ridiculous," Harold groaned. As Nadine moved, the soft fur of her costume brushed against her arms, keeping her warm against the cool fall air. She did not know it yet, but this was something she would carry forever. Her orange-striped costume tail flicked behind her. It was her first Halloween, the night she would start transforming into something more. Later, as shadows stretched across the walls, she whispered her first sign of something greater. "Here, Key-Kee."

Born Between Two Days

"The melody of ‘Jesus Loves the Little Children’ drifted through the quiet church, each note steady beneath Yara’s fingertips. No one noticed how her back stiffened, how her breath caught just slightly before she pressed forward, playing through the sharp waves of pain. The music continued, but time itself seemed to slow. It wasn’t time. Not yet."

When The World Fell Quiet

when you feel like your relationship with your brother might actually be saved, but yet again you’re proven wrong - just like every other time you tried to believe the hallow words he promised.

Me rambling for a bit about my weird thinking and then opening discussion about it basically........

Quantum Infused Crystal Tech

✨The Quartz Revolution Begins✨ Imagine a phone that doesn’t just connect you — it generates its own power. A device born from quartz crystal and solar resonance, harnessing piezoelectric vibrations to convert motion, light, and frequency into usable energy. No chargers. No cords. Just pure, self-sustaining current. Now imagine that same pulse of energy feeding directly into a digital ecosystem — every photon, every vibration verifying itself through a new kind of crypto network. A currency backed not by banks, but by the living frequency of light. This isn’t just tech. It’s a new form of symbiosis — where nature, energy, and consciousness converge in your palm. 🔮 The Quartz Phone is more than a device — it’s the first bridge between energetic resonance and digital creation. Tune in to my stream — we’re unveiling how frequency becomes function, and how your energy becomes value.

Why You Should Visit Bilbao: Hidden Gems and MoreJul 17, 2025

"Finally made it to Bilbao! A personal travel story and guide to the best of this Basque city. Discover Casco Viejo, pintxos, the Guggenheim, and hidden gems in the heart of northern Spain." You know the feeling when you keep telling yourself, “I have to go there”? Somehow, you just… never do. That was me with Bilbao. For years. It kept popping up on my list, quietly sitting there, waiting. But this time, I finally did it. I went to the north of Spain, to the heart of the Basque Country. I discovered a city that completely surprised me.

150 Script JourneyJan 21, 2025

150 scripts. That’s my challenge—to read and analyze each one to uncover what makes a story unforgettable, from the big ideas to the small details. Along the way, I’ll break down story elements, share my discoveries, and reflect on the lessons I learn. Ready to join me on this journey?

Blade Runner - Script #1: A Deep Dive into Humanity, Morality, and Identity

Released in 1982, Blade Runner has solidified itself as one of the most influential films in the sci-fi genre. Inspired by Philip K. Dick's novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the film challenges the audience with timeless questions about what it means to be human. It delves into the complexities of identity and explores the consequences of artificial life in a profoundly relevant way today.

150 Scripts: A Journey into the Heart of Filmmaking

Hello. My name is Dr. AY Heath; you can call me Angel. I'm here to chronicle a big goal for myself. And trust me, it is a very big goal. So what is this big goal. I’m going to read and break down 150 film scripts. That does sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and, after stepping away from my corporate job, I dove into film school and have been diving deep into the process of storytelling. But I want to do more than just learn technical skills; I want to understand what works and doesn't and see where we're in this big filmmaking industry.

From this point forward, what I publish here is the canon. This is Jistoa as it stands today — sharper, truer, and built to last. My plans have expanded. Welcome to the new fire.
