Emerald and White Diamonds (Chopard Red Carpet Collection)
@deadcatwithaflamethrower
It’s hella pretty, and I can’t get a good enough look at the diamonds to tell…but I do know that those aren’t real emeralds.
Real emeralds, even the AAA gemstone grade, expensive as fuck, fine and gorgeous emeralds, have lots of natural occlusions. Those stones in that necklace are clear and flawless, which means they are one of four things:
They’re lab-created (inexpensive but generally blah compared to the real thing)
They’re crystal
They’re another type of glass (possibly Czech glass, since they make some of the best)
or They’re another type of green Beryl gemstone.
While all emeralds are beryls, not all beryls are emeralds.
Lemme show you guys what real emeralds look like:

@hamelin-born I know you stopped watching after Season 5, but Richie protecting his new baby cousin Jack from the asshole relatives, including his asshole father, Lucifer, yes?
Richie: Us abominations have to stick up for one another, right? And hey, if you like nogurt, have you ever considered chocolate…?
I now have the mental picture of adult!Richie adopting Jack. Richie: Mine!

There’s a brain condition that gives you an uncontrollable urge to make puns. If you’ve damaged the right frontal lobe of your brain, you can develop Witzelsucht, which is German for “joke addiction”. The condition causes a compulsive need to constantly make up or tell jokes- even in the middle of the night or during an important interview. Source Source 2 Source 3
@copperbadge
My very first thought was “This sounds horrible, like, how embarrassing and terrible” and then I thought LIKE A PUN-ISHMENT FROM GOD and wanted to groan.
@thebibliosphere has anyone tagged you in this yet?

Mick suddenly feels the light of revelation steal upon him. Everything makes sense now.

Richie during the Apocalypse That Wasn’t when he would see angels and demons alike on the streets of LA: Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them knooooooow.
Lucifer: *Appears because of some operation or something in LA*
Richie:….CONCEAL, DON’T FEEL, DON’T LET THEM KNOOOOOOOOW
Richie promptly calls in sick to work and hides under his bed. After stocking up on non-perishables, including All The Chocolate, the complete works of Monty Python, and his Sword. (Probably won’t do much good, but it makes him feel better!)

Meanwhile Lucifer sees that that one human he ran into at that gas station in Utah apparently lives here and is quite the celebrity. And has been calling into work sick since Lucifer has arrived.
Odd that.
On a more serious note, if Lucifer did find out that Richie was Gabriel’s son, I honestly don’t think that Lucifer would hurt him, not if Richie didn’t try to attack him first (which Richie wouldn’t because he is not suicidal, thank you very much). He might place a hand on Richie’s cheek and just look at him for a moment (look at him and, now that he knows, see how much he looks like Gabriel). And then leave him be.
After that, Richie might notice that there is a demon or two who tail him, but make no effort to approach him or hurt him. Rather they’re there to make sure Heaven doesn’t find out about Richie and that Richie is left alone.
Because Gabriel was Lucifer’s favorite brother, after Michael. Because it hurt to kill him. So he can leave Gabriel’s son in peace and make sure that his peace is not interrupted by others.
He can at least do that.
The feels.
Oh good grandpa, Richie probably hasn’t been that frightened since It touched him and let slip that they were relatives. The parallels are all too striking; Richie is terrified, and he’s bracing himself to *run*. Forget all the rules, forget his self-imposed resolve to stay off the radar, if ‘Uncle Luci’ makes one move towards him, he’s off and running.
Gabriel was the Messenger. Was, perhaps, one of the fastest entities in existence - when he wanted to be. Richie might be only half-angel (mortal soul and angel fire, a combination that is frankly terrifying in its implications to the entirety of the supernatural world) but he is still fast. Luci does anything more, Richie will *run*. …probably to Bill, honestly, to ask if he can hide out in Underhill for a little while and have a nervous breakdown.
It doesn’t come to that, but even Luci might be a bit hurt by the sheer fear in his nibling’s grace.
No, but you see, this means that after the plug gets pulled on the apocalypse that wasn’t, there are demons who know what Richie is. And probably try to use that to - blackmail him or kill him or use him as leverage. …Richie ain’t having that. It’s probably the first time he takes up his sword and uses it to fulfill the purpose it was made for; he’s still messily sick afterwards. He’s never killed anything - anyone - before. (He heals the humans hosts if they’re still alive and sends them on their way, blessedly absent of all memory of what happened to them - and then he thinks of the parallels with Derry and the Forgetting, and he laughs to himself.)
And years later, Richie adopts Uncle Luci’s son. It’s - funny, the way the world works in circles.

Newt had never met Percival Graves before, but it was he who noticed first that things were not as they seemed with MACUSA’s Director of Magical Security. Newt had never known him, but somehow he just knew. Like a burning in his bones - echoes of a sensation he had only heard others talk about. He saw the face of a man that set off a pang somewhere deep in his chest, the ghost of a fire ready to burn, and yet knew that it was wrong.
The Aurors thought it was chance that he noticed, and for the sake of his own protection, he forced himself to think that too. He had been tricked before, once, with the idea of having found the one. The wound still ached, ever scarred and old as it was in his heart.
The Aurors thought it was chance that he brought Grindelwald to his knees and revealed him to be a fraud. They thought it was chance that led him on a whim down the train tracks. They thought it was a whim that brought him to a set of bricks too clean to be normal - the dust having been shifted multiple times from their stones.
The Aurors thought it was chance that he brought the bricks to his feet to reveal their boss within, thin and shivering and heavy-lidded. Breath caught on a gasp at the sight of light again.
Immediately fire bloomed into an inferno in Newt’s chest. He stumbled to his knees, startling the Aurors as he scrambled toward Graves. Because he had never met Percival Graves, had never known him, but suddenly knew without a shadow of a doubt that he was his.
Graves’ arms shook as he raised himself from the floor. He collapsed into Newt’s reaching arms, hands dirty and claws into his blue, blue coat, and stared at him like a sea-stranded man seeing land for the first time in centuries.
“You came,” he rasped, and Newt was not sure if he meant that his soul mate had finally arrived into his life or that he had been found and saved - maybe both. Regardless, Newt didn’t get a chance to ask. He felt a blossom of relief-hope-excitement-relief-relief-relief overwhelm him through a fresh and searing bond as Graves sprang forward to kiss him. Lips and teeth clashed as he kissed Newt. And if a kiss could feel like a first breath, Newt knew that this was it - the feeling all those love sick soulmates talked about.
He had found his other half at the end of tattered train tracks, behind a brick wall, desperate and dying - but he had found him.
He had never met Percival Graves, had never known him, but as it turned out, he was his soulmate.
[a/n] this somehow turned into the soulmate fic I never thought I’d write…

allthecanadianpolitics:
A Winnipeg-area real estate developer has launched a lawsuit against 49 people who tried to defend ecologically sensitive wetlands that have historical significance to the Métis against controversial development plans.
Companies owned by Andrew Marquess, a well-connected Winnipeg developer, allege in court documents newly obtained by PressProgress that the 49 defendants participated in a “trespassing campaign” on the wetlands. Marquess claims this forced him to build a fence, install flood lights and hire a private security firm to “conduct surveillance” on the Indigenous and environmental activists.
Marquess had previously launched a lawsuit against several lead organizers. A new Statement of Claim, filed at the end of September, names dozens of new defendants.
Those defendants say Marquess is seeking “damages potentially in excess of $500,000” – a move they warn could have a chilling effect on peaceful protests.

Help the peaceful protestors. They’ve made a go fund me to pay for their legal fees:
