At some point, I wanted to get me looking more like me. It had changed me so much after I prompted it to make us full standing figures. I ended up putting a real pic of me into it and asking it to make me into a warrioress. Then I took that pic and your pic and asked it to make a battlefield of creatures that we had defeated (the Whangdoodles really). And this is what resulted. This actually looks more like the real me than any of the images thus far.

smashingness Chieftess (Is it wrong to use that 2-word phrase again? Lol. I LOVE the first image, and the next one is really good also. Very tasteful. Edit: But the third one - wow. That was my favourite until you posted the fourth. I think the fourth is my new favourite.

By the way, the spider eaters would be very happy for you to don the space armour, as they could restrict their focus to protecting your facial area, rather than worrying you might stand on a sharp spike or something (presumably, space armour would provide more protection against such hazards). The last one, not so much - the only thing standing between their freedom and a debt they'd never be able to repay is your skill as a Chieftess, which, though outstanding, is not what the spider eaters would be happy with! )

And here is a jungle à deux...

Chieftess spacesuit (lol I'm so glad these images are met with approval. The only ones left are the ones I can't post (lol) and the one of us in the city. I don't mind posting the city one at all. But, I will leave that up to you.)

 

[Charlesiii]

spacesuit umbilical (Of course! Did you think I could not approve the amazing and smashing work of the Chieftess of Smashingness herself? These are amazing!)

While I was looking for the city versions, I found another one. Oh dear me, I just couldn't stop

There are actually 2 city versions.

region map (Wow! You have been busy! Second is really cool. Angle of your neck is right - smashing! )

 

[CarriePie]

Oh, and don't worry about being sold! I find even the thought of it insulting! The tribe were under no illusions about your worth by the time I finished explaining that despite the fact that we cleaned out an entire dimension of foreskins in a previous episode, that wouldn't have been enough to even purchase a single toe-nail clipping from your little toe. If you've noticed the tribe are a lot more careful around you and so you don't sustain an injury, it's probably because they realise they can't afford the cost if they damage you - even just a scratch!

map distance (I am most impressed by your masterly ability ^ to make sure the tribe is very careful around me and I'm touched that you find the thought of me being sold as being insulting! The real Chieftess, whose blood flows through my veins, would herself consider you the Master!
Not long ago, they put a lifelike figure of the Chieftess in a museum. Except they call her Queen, because the British sometimes bestow "royal titles on Native Americans who had powerful roles." I prefer to call her Chieftess though. Queen doesn't sound all that native to me. I can't imagine calling myself the Queen of Smashingness.

After these battles and as it is drawing close to Sunday, may we seek to rest awhile. And think upon the well known words that are usually attributed to being a Native prayer, "Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever hold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things You have made and my ears sharp to hear Your voice. Help me remain calm and strong in the face of all that comes towards me."

May we have that strength and composure (I especially need it) through all that lies ahead!

Before I go for the evening, I decided to fix that last city à deux image. I removed your mask so that you're not drawing suspicion in the city and I thought I'd fix myself while I was at it. The image in the previous pic didn't have a full body, thus different than mine. Also, I gave her a braid, as I usually wear a braid. Okay, now I'll stop playing with these images [least for the time being lol])

 

[Charlesiii]

distance runner (Lol. No, do not be impressed by my ability - I assure you that the ability is all yours to be so valuable as to make the idea of you being sold for any price insulting! I simply explained this rationally and logically to the tribesmen, and it was obvious to them also. By the way, I love the latest picture - Chieftess of Smashingness for sure!!!!!!! (I fear we may need to cut our vacation with the tribe short, or too many of the tribesmen might die of broken hearts!)

I agree with you about the real Chieftess, although I didn't know her. Probably it is the British influence on the words, but to me there is something about the title of King or Queen that is detached from reality. I like the idea of Chieftess (or Chieftain for males) - to me it suggests an earned honour without privilege. Sort of like Admiral Nelson who had the honour and courage to risk his life with those he commanded (which is not the same for most military leaders), and like King David before he turned soft and stopped going into battle with his army. Lol. Queen of anything does not go well with you at all, and Queen and Smashingness simply do not mix.

I love the Native prayer - here it is as a blessing. "May you walk in beauty, may your eyes ever hold the red and purple sunset. May your hands respect the things that He has made, and your ears be sharp to hear His voice. May you remain calm and strong in the face of all that might seek to assail you or hinder your path.")

runner duck (If you walked into my tribe, you'd had to explain it more than once. Even the Chieftess would be under paralysis. But not enough so that you would be able to leave soon lol. It'd be as if an arrow had swiftly made its target <-----<<< The arrow of paralysis!
You'd be encouraged to stay as long as possible

I do agree that Chieftess is an earned honor. My Chieftess met with the president (of that time). And I think she was quite possibly a more upstanding leader.
I would rather live in a tipi than a huge castle or palace. Especially those in the past, but even today they seem too large. How can you find anyone or anything with all those rooms? Must need a GPS to get around the place. A tipi doesn't have an overabundance of space. And you can hear the wildlife outside.

I'll actually be going to the big city soon for the cold months. I hadn't thought about that when I created our city pic. I've been there several times, and have yet to walk around downtown. Maybe there is worse than Whangdoodles there. Actually, there might be. I was traveling through the downtown (without stopping to stay) when there was a mass of Cosplay people. I didn't know there was a convention going on, until there I was in a sea of oddly dressed people...and no Chieftessy or Masterly people in sight!!)

 

[Charlesiii]

duck pond (That's very kind of your tribe. I would be honoured to stay - even without any arrows of paralysis swiftly making their target!!! <-----<<< Castles definitely can be large and cold. I think I'm allergic to bears and wolves, though, so I might struggle to sleep in a tipi if it's walls weren't thick enough to withstand the jaws and claws of powerful beasts. I've read horror stories of people going to sleep in the forest and waking up only to find out they've been eaten! Although how anyone managed to write the cautionary accounts, I never understood.

The more I read about history, the more I realise too many leaders were really two-faced (and that's probably an understatement). Perhaps that's why these nations rose to power, but it emphasises to me the importance of never trusting governments or their agents. Immediate examples I'm thinking of are the Battle of Agincourt, where King Henry V killed all the French prisoners of war who'd just surrendered to him because he was scared they might regroup and attack him later on. And my (limited) understanding of American history is that the US government kept reneging on its land promises and effectively stealing land. I hope your Chieftess wasn't cheated by the president, as presidents don't have the best reputation... Especially lately!

Hearing wildlife outside is very amazing to fall asleep or wake up to (provided the walls are strong enough if it's something hungry and ferocious!) As a deep sleeper, this is particularly important to me, as without strong walls, I'm the sort who would probably doze off and not realise I'm in trouble until I'm actually dead - and by then, there's not much that can be done, so far as I'm aware?

I think big cities are breeding grounds for things worse than Whangdoodles, if one can even imagine something so terrible. All those oddly dressed Cosplay people crammed in together, often at height, and no trees or nature or open ground for miles at a time (or kilometers, for those using a metric system). I hope you fare well for your journey to the city, and that you encounter an entire tribe of Chieftessy and Masterly folk, who you can assist with their worse-than-Whangdoodles problems! )

 

[CarriePie]

pond turtle (Where I live, there are no wolves. There are black bears in some areas, but they usually stay further out in the wilderness. There are mountain lions in the Osage and in the middle of the night, people have sometimes been woken by the blood curdling sounds of one, which can sound like a human.
At my residence, I hear coyotes "barking at the moon," raucous barred owls scarring up game, and fox screaming. It's a wild sound that is always nice to hear.

Personally, I wouldn't be worried about any of the wildlife, I'd be more concerned about nefarious persons. Sometimes I might dreamily talk of living in a tipi, but when it comes down to it I'd probably rather a rustic cabin. It's safe from wildlife and more secure from persons. The last time I stayed in a cabin in the Osage, it was an incredibly peaceful experience.

Many of the tribes were moved here to Oklahoma, including the Chieftess' tribe. Indeed, never trusting the governments or their agents is a wise way to go about life.

Usually, when I'm in the city I keep to myself. A lot of my time will be spent in the kitchen. I also go on walks. Somehow walks there can be more peaceful than where I live in Oklahoma Even though ATL is a big city, neighborhoods are very full of trees, and thus birds and sometimes deer. I stay in a fairly safe neighborhood. I usually go for a walk in the early morning before breakfast. It's a tranquil time
I have saw several sites whilst there, such as the CDC. Somehow I think you would've been interested in seeing what was at the CDC lol.
This time I aim to go to the ATL Aquarium. It's supposed to be one of the top ranked in the world. I aim to try to get in some other sites too that I haven't explored before. My traveling and outings will be solo, but I will be going only to safe areas. Actually, I really go to make sure the aquarium isn't secretly infested with Whangdoodles!!
We might have to take on an aquarium abyss!! )

 

[Charlesiii]

turtle island (Phew! No wolves! But mountain lions instead! I was watching something that warned of people lost in the woods (at night!!!) not to go off following what might sound like a voice from a family member speaking one's name, or even the cry of a baby. I think it made the point that mountain lions can sound like a baby's cry! Although I'm not sure what the creature would be that could fake a family member's voice and use one's name?!?

The night sounds at your residence sounds lovely. And I agree. People are more of a concern than wildlife. The more I learn about nefarious people and how bad they can be, it always seems that someone else, somewhere, can outdo them.

ATL sounds lovely. I think a place can't be so bad if it is full of trees, birds, or even deer! And early morning walks will all but guarantee safety from Whangdoodles, given this laziest of all creatures probably won't even stir until much later, except in cases of the direst Whangdoodle emergencies.

Speaking of nefarious types, you are of course, correct about the CDC. I would be interested to see what is there. I wouldn't be too surprised to learn they even kept a few stuffed Whangdoodles on display, and took the credit for our valiant victories. Hopefully they won't use this "Russian" black plague thing as a reason to make everyone's lives miserable again soon, but I think it's a vain hope, especially with elections so soon.

Aquariums are very nice, but you are rightly cautious about Whangdoodle infestations. I'm less of an expert in aquarium abysses, but normally, I would expect to find one of these at the bottom of a whirlpool. Not every whirlpool has an abyss, but every aquatic abyss tends to have a whirlpool, unless the water is flowing in reverse from the other dimension. And then its a kind of fountain.

May the coyotes and foxes keep the Whangdoodle infestation at bay. )

 

[CarriePie]

island escape (Although I lived several years out in the Osage, I never heard a mountain lion. I had family members who heard them though. My grandparents were fishing at a pond when they heard a blood curdling scream. The didn't see the mountain lion, but that's the only thing it could have been.
I got to the end of a trail in the Osage and heard what sounded like a young bobcat. The next day, I was near a different trail a few miles from the other trail and heard the same sound.

I've been on trails more than once where deer would be leaping across my path. If it's something you haven't experienced, I hope the you'll get the experience some day. I've had quit a number of them leap across a path right in front of me, one by one. As a creationist, those moments make my heart swell and it's what drives me to enjoy the great outdoors. And if I don't get out into the great outdoors, it finds its way inside to me. I woke one more and a tree frog plopped onto my pillow. Just the other day, in the fold of the extending tissue of my tissue box was a large male funnel spider. I gently pulled the tissue out of the box and laid it over to the side. This was a tissue box that is on my bed and so for the last couple of days this spider has been quietly living life in his nice, clean tissue home on my bed. Actually, right now he's out of his cozy spot and having a look around.

The CDC was one of the most interesting places that I've visited. Not so much because of the inside of it (they only let you see the museumy area), but because of the thorough security check they do on you before allowing admittance. And you have to wear a thing that says you're a guest and it says some other stuff that I can't remember. But, the visit is free lol. I included a few pics that I took during my visit, and one that was taken of me trying to see into a very large microscope. I wasn't allowed to step onto that orange platform and I'm to short too be able to look into the microscope. The last pic must be of you trying to fix the problems created by the CDC!

Some of the other sites I've been considering seeing is a flight museum, one of the history museums (some I've been to, but there's many), or possibly the museum that has artifacts from Egypt and elsewhere. I'll probably show up and it'll be a Whangdoodle flight museum, a Whangdoodle history museum, a Whangdoodle artifact place, and a Whangdoodle zoo. Should I get some Whangdoodle souvenirs?

Btw, I've been meaning to mention that I love your version of Chief Yellow Lark's prayer. Smashingness and masterliness!! <----<<< )

I love the Native prayer - here it is as a blessing. "May you walk in beauty, may your eyes ever hold the red and purple sunset. May your hands respect the things that He has made, and your ears be sharp to hear His voice. May you remain calm and strong in the face of all that might seek to assail you or hinder your path.")

escape route (You are brave to go walking alone, with mountain lions and bobcats abroad! I think the most dangerous beast I've ever encountered - besides Whangdoodles, of course - are snakes. And they were very respectful snakes considering our proximity - they noted me, I noted them, they (or at least one) maintained its warning strike pose, and I backed off respectfully to a safe distance (not multiple snakes at a time, just multiple encounters). No attacks or poisoning. More spiders 🕷🕷🕷 than I care to recount, but spiders aren't really dangerous - other than the potential to give me a heart attack or ruin a night's sleep! A smallish shark once , but closer to the shore than one might expect. Probably more dangerous to a dog than a man, but big enough to keep me from entering (or the dog from returning) to the water. All other encounters have been from the safe side of a cage or fence or glassed aquarium.

I've never experienced deer leaping across my path, but it sounds amazing. I had to look up funnel spider - it sounded suspiciously similar to the funnel-web spider, which I am aware of. If it's also known as the funnel weaver spider, it's probably slightly better looking than a funnel-web spider, and I understand (?) not so poisonous, which is good. I don't know what it is with me about spiders, but the look of them alone seem to make my heart twist up and a type of dread comes over me. There are beautiful things that when I see, I can be mesmerised by and ultimately have to force myself to look away from. And then there are spiders, which are kinda like the opposite - I half want to look away with revulsion, but also feel compelled to keep it in view so I know it is not attacking me - (perhaps also a morbid fascination thrown in?) Very strange, huh? But its good you are taking care of your funnel spider. Also good evidence of creation - two spiders on different sides of the world which create the same types of funnel web. But one (funnel weaver) turned to good, the other (funnel web) - to evil!!! It's hard enough to believe it evolved once, but twice?!? I wonder what spiders are supposed to have evolved from? A 6-legged beetle, or an 8-clawed crab? I'm sure you and I could invent a much more interesting theory of evolutionism than Charles Darwin did, and it would be just as (un)believable.

I love your pictures at the CDC! It's far more colourful than I had envisaged. I had expected more cold lighting and a whiter, more sterile-type environment. I got the opposite feeling from the photographs. You probably need to take some others with you to lift you up to the microscope. Or get the CDC to bring it down to a more reasonable height for a Chieftess. Honestly, the disrespect some people show, they are fortunate you don't do unto them as you did unto the Whangdoodles! Lol.

You're getting really good with your pictures - I'm looking very casual holding that vial of blue mystery serum! I hope it was something innocuous and not black death! I guess if it was a cure for something the CDC had concocted, we would have made it something fairly safe - unlike the CDC, we don't try to poison our customers!

Wow! Lots of interesting places to go to. I find things Egyptian very interesting, although in general, history has all manner of interesting things and quirks that just aren't talked about. Even flight - do you know if blimps were ever a thing before planes, and for how long? Some things I've seen and read, there were supposed to be blimps around in the 1700s. I don't really know what is truth and what is exaggeration, but it's definitely very interesting. Also, the orphan trains and cabbage patch dolls... Were they real? Terrible if true (but believable from the point of view of the Epstein saga and those before it), but hard to be certain.

I think you should definitely collect some Whangdoodle souvenirs. + ️️️️️️️ = . I know we have plenty already from our years of expertise in defenestrating Whangdoodles and sending them back to the respective abysses from which they came (also destroying their space stations and ships), but in some ways, collecting Whangdoodle souvenirs is a never-ending task. You can never tell a dimension is completely purged of them until our adventures seem so far-fetched that they become bedtime stories for naughty children - similar to Hansel and Gretel, or the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

Chief Yellow Lark's prayer is beautiful - I really liked it. )

 

[CarriePie]

route (66) map (Thank you for considering me brave. I actually don't even think of myself as brave when in the great outdoors. When I go out in the middle of the night to check on sounds, that seems to be braver to me. I say that because I live on the edge of the country and this area attracts questionable people. The winter before last, deep in the night I heard a loud argument going on. It sounded like it was right in my backyard. I'm no fool, I decided to stay inside. Eventually, I heard a very loud whack and then a blood curdling scream. It was the worst scream I've ever heard. Definitely a human scream, not a mountain lion. The screaming sound continued but started to fade, as if the person was running away. The next morning, I went to the backyard and sure enough there was a big, thick metal fence post in my backyard, which I kicked out of my yard. I suspect that someone was whacked with that fence post right in my yard. I'm sure I've probably told you about the night that someone was trying to kick the front door in. The fools didn't know there was a 12 gauge shotgun pointing at the door (plus handguns) waiting for them get through. They never got through. You know, maybe having many encounters with these sorts of characters has made the encounters with wildlife all seem like gravy - as folks would say here.
I'm intrigued by your shark encounter. Believe it or not, I have not seen the shore. As close as I've gotten to the ocean is flying above the Gulf. Oklahoma is landlocked. And the only other place I go is also landlocked. Someday!

You said, "There are beautiful things that when I see, I can be mesmerised by and ultimately have to force myself to look away from." That's how I feel about spiders lol. And masterly in a lab coat.

Yes, blimps were definitely a thing before planes. And yes, as far back as the 1700s. I watched a documentary about blimps, but it's been a while. I need to brush up on my history of them.
One night when I was sitting outside, I saw a rather large star in the sky. So, I went for a walk to figure out what this "star" was. As I got closer, I realized that it looked maybe like a blimp. Best way I can describe it is that it was the shape of an egg (a horizontal egg) and it glowed with a bright glow. It also noticed that it was moving slowly across the sky. Later, back at home, I looked up what aircraft may have been in my area and I couldn't find that there had been any blimps in my area. I'm not sure what that thing was, but it definitely wasn't a star.

I don't think I'm familiar with the orphan train or cabbage patch dolls. What is the nature of these stories? I had a cabbage patch doll when I was a child, but I have a feeling that you don't mean those. I have a fascination with strange stories. I often dive into the strange, strange true crime and terrible cults and other odd things like that.

I'm delighted about your mention of spiders and evolution. I often read creationist articles and the more I read and know, the more I can't believe people actually think evolution is true (and they even think it's been proven). I actually have a spider book on my shelf that was written by an evolutionist. I usually read creationist books, but I'm glad I purchased and read this book. It's a vintage book, The Life of the Spider. It was actually fascinating, but what stood out to me most and the reason I was so glad I got the book is that the author (an evolutionist) says that spiders are a mystery and that scientists have no idea how spiders came into being! Well, we do And that is beautiful!

Our Whangdoodle adventures...bedtime stories for naughty children. I like that!!
You always have clever ideas!! )

 

[Charlesiii]

map symbol (Yeah, I concur. That time with the shotgun while those ruffians were kicking in the door? Crazy. Should one fire a warning shot to let them know one is there (but risk giving them a chance to attack where one is worse defended)? Or just stay silent and wait, hoping that the door holds but that there's a big surprise in store for them if it doesn't? That's *really* brave!

I think the shark would have only been 2 meters or so. It was only like ~5 (definitely not more than 10?) meters from the shore. I saw the fin and the full length of the shark as it swam through a wave. The area was known for (well-fed) sharks (so they're not supposed to be as hungry for people), and it was toward evening, which is the time they are more active. But it was just something as big as that so close to shore that surprised me. 2 meters probably doesn't sound that big, but in water that is probably only a meter deep or less (without the wave), it was sobering.

I can certainly believe you find spiders beautiful. Lol. It's how you described it in such fascinated detail. Just so funny the same thing can have such opposite effects on different people.

Okay. This is conspiracy theory land (the new landscape, since all the previous ones were proven true). And you might have a better idea on how to disprove this, given your knowledge of your family history. But there's talk some cities/places in America and around the world were not built, they were "founded". Like, empty buildings and towns that people came across and settled (moreso the nicer ones). There is talk of "world fair" events, where all of these fantastic places were built for an occasion in a matter of weeks or months - the "world fair", and then subsequently torn down. But the (world fair) buildings in photographs seem to be better and more beautiful than any we even have around today. Why would people go to this trouble to build temporarily, and then tear down, even if they could? Unless the "world fair" events were meant to hide the destruction of these pre-existing places, or for some other hidden purpose?

The orphan trains would then fit in with orphans being shipped all over the world to populate such places, but around this time, there were all those incubator babies at fairs. (i.e. people would come to fairs to see all these babies in incubators!) I wonder if the cabbage patch dolls of the 80s were based on a darker past, whether to do with cloning, or something more bizarre (e.g. why were there so many orphans?) And the cabbage patch dolls (as I understand) came with birth certificates and similar. I suspect there is more to the history of where this came from, but don't know exactly what this history is. I like reading about these subjects - there's lots of conjecture and opinion, but I think the truth - the entire truth - isn't given in the official history. And like with Sponge Bob Squarepants and some of the links to Epstein Island, I wonder if the same is true with cabbage patch dolls and some history we are as yet unaware of?

Evolutionists are funny. The honest (and knowledgable) evolutionists will often admit for their particular area, they can't explain how evolution applies. But they presume other areas of expertise support the theory. Dishonest ones like Dawkins just won't accept alternatives - they argue that all alternatives are religious, so evolution is the only non-religious explanation (without admitting that evolution is more reliant on faith and miracles than biblical creation).

I think the Pied Piper of Hamelin was probably a real story (at least about the missing children). I wonder if other fairy tales also were? The stories are scary, but perhaps because they're based in fact? The same would apply to our Whangdoodle adventures. Moms could tell their naughty children, "If you don't go to bed now, you'll have nightmares because I'll relate to you the adventures of the Chieftess of Smashingness and Master Charles, and how they defeated the terrifying and nefarious Whangdoodles who came out of the abyss!" !!!)

 

[CarriePie]

symbol text (Concerning ruffians, my father instilled into me to be aware of my surroundings, think for myself, and to not be stupid. This is not to say I never make mistakes in those areas, but I think the mentality has helped me to stay in an area that's not ideal to others. I will stand my ground and I will defend myself...with force, if necessary. My father also told me that if I'm weak, that'll only cause both of us to be taken down. That stood out to me. Being a leader doesn't mean you don't have a leader, it means that you can take what lies ahead with fortitude, discernment, and a strong quiet regard of the situation. When bleep hits the fan, it abhors me to think I'd be in a mess of tears and unable to operate, or lacking wisdom and thus unable to sort out a plan of action, or worse even - hysterical and unable to face the situation with a quiet boldness. May it not be so! And I mean this very earnestly, and I think it's fitting of a Chieftess. In a Chieftess' life, there's a time to be soft and there's a time to be strong. And when someone is trying to kick down the door it's not a time to have any measure of softness. Additionally, when the bleep hits the fan, it's even more so a time to be resilient.

Well, to me the shark you encountered sounds pretty big! I mean, it's about a foot and half longer than I am tall lol. If I may say, I have a bit of envy at your shark sighting. Definitely a memorable moment.
I've always had a hard time with swimming in pools. Honestly, swimming in pools is just not very appealing to me. All those people swimming around in a pool of chemicals. No, for me I'll head off to the creek or the lake (or the coast, if I was near one). There's something about being surrounded by wildlife that closely that gives me an incomparable feeling. I've swam with snakes, gar, and who knows what all, but the only thing that's gotten grumpy with me is a turtle that didn't like being disturbed. It grumpily snapped at me and then ran off (quite fast for a turtle).

I'm going to have to look more into the orphan trains and other related topics to get a better scope. I'm now remembering watching a documentary on a case that touched on the orphan trains. I think it would be interesting to visit the subject with more depth.
I was watching something, I think it was sort of a sermon, that said that back in the days of the early Christians, there was a wall where babies were placed that were unwanted. Often times, the babies were collected by those who intended to raise them as slaves (including sex slaves). Back then there was a Christian who had people who would keep watch of the wall in order to gather up babies before nefarious people could get them first. The baby would be placed in a Christian home. If only we had more people in the world like that Christian soul.

This might sound contradictory to my first paragraph, but my last paragraph brought it to mind. I used to be unable to really show my emotions, even to myself. I was encouraged when I was growing up to not show my emotions. After dad died a couple of years ago, that changed. Although, I still I'm not someone who necessarily easily breaks down, I do feel things more deeply. I used so many tissues during the heaviest time of grief that the sides of my face became raw. Recently, I was reading a creationist article about the terrible things that happened to Aboriginal people and how it was exacerbated by the teachings of evolution. I was having a hard time with the article and had to grab for the tissue box. I feel that way about the stories of the government's treatment of tribes here.
I had a dictionary that was from around the '50s and in this dictionary, Native Americans were still referred to as savages. And it's more detailed description was quite aggravating. So, not only did the nonsense of evolution cause the school systems to indoctrinate students with so much rubbish of evolution, it also caused people to think of others as less than themselves due to them being further down the evolutionary chain. I'm thankful that we are wiser than this poppycock!
Also, I suppose this is one of those moments of the Chieftess' softness showing.

Your last paragraph tickled me quite abundantly! It's funny, just recently I told myself that I need to stop messing about with the ai image creator. But, as you said, you did indeed create a monster. You gave me ideas and I hope you don't mind me including what was born of that idea. I really was going to stop messing with our images, but I just couldn't stop myself after your brilliant idea!
I also put us in a environment that's different than what I've done before. And so, Master Charles, I present to you a book of much smashingness and masterliness. And, good night alive, if your image doesn't make an incredible mountain man )

text editor (I love the decisiveness. Your father taught you very well. You have a very fitting mentality for a Chieftess!

Where I was staying, there were lots of sharks. They were more often seen from boats while fishing. Not so many attacks that I'd heard of, as there were plenty of fish and the sharks were therefore well fed. Also, people were aware that sharks were everywhere, and generally didn't just go swimming anywhere. To spot one from the shore was probably more difficult. And yeah, in the scale of sharks, it was small, but still longer than many of us (even me!) are tall, and large enough to cause some significant damage - to take a limb or something in a bite. And yeah, memorable.

I think pools are for people that don't have safe creeks or lakes or a coast to swim in. Although the ocean can be unpredictable and wary respect is always prudent, it was the sharks that kept me from ocean swimming in that place. I think waist deep was as far as I ventured.

What you mention is the sort of thing I recall - effectively, like a legalised slave trade, where orphans were sold. It absolutely makes me think of Epstein, but possibly in those days, people didn't realise how evil people could be?

There are plenty of stories of government's mistreating of people. I have read a little, but not extensively. Sometimes, I believe one has to read between the lines, because in history books, governments always like to divest themselves of any guilt, and try to blame the people (just think of the covid saga recently, and the government line today "we never forced anyone to take the vaccine"). I remember reading about pearl diving, where Japanese and Aboriginals effectively became slaves (because it was very dangerous work, and no one else would do it). I understand there were people who didn't agree with certain things based on Christian principles, and I think there were even laws against slavery (it wasn't called slavery, but indentured labour, I think). But the system was so corrupt, when such things were ever challenged in court (which was rare), the judges or magistrates were profiting from the system being challenged and so would rule against the victim anyway. And then the few good police and people who might have tried to do anything gave up prosecuting, as the victims would just be ruled against anyway.

I like that you are aggravated by the arrogant definitions. If anyone is a savage, I think it is those so stupid or hardhearted that they would treat their fellow man created in God's image as beasts. I think the covid debacle reduced my opinion of others - I knew some people were stupid, but didn't realise it was so many. It was my belief that evolution was used as an excuse by some, rather than a reason, to mistreat others. I agree with your wording - evolution exacerbated the issue. With the covid experience, I'm not so certain - maybe most people really are that stupid? Its good that God doesn't give me the same justice I would possibly give to others for their folly... But yeah, sometimes, with a documentary or a book, it talks very condescendingly about a previous people or time. But I think in many ways, such people were often wiser and better than our own civilisation.

Ha! And I love your book cover! The Chieftess of Smashingness is very magnetising to one's eyes, I found. Sort of hard to look away from, once one's eyes have focused. Do you find that, or is it just my eyes? Hopefully she won't be too cold in those clothes, although they suit her very well. Absolutely beautiful background, also. The sun rising over the mountains, the buffalo, the tipi, and the pot over the fire. What would they be cooking? (Please don't say giant spiders!!! )

I learned some more about the Grimms' fairy tales today. Definitely these aren't/weren't for children - even to give nightmares (which they would) - some of the tales are just horrible! If our adventures end up in a children's book, they won't be so terrible as the Grimms' fairy tales. But I can tell that this book will recount our adventures quite Smashingly and Masterly - because of the author, obviously, although the cover is absolutely smashing! )

--- Chieftess Log: Afternoon Creativity Report @Charlesiii, this is not a response to your post (well, not for the most part), I'll respond more thoroughly to your post later this evening. This is just addressing your second to the last paragraph. I kept turning that over in my head as I was having my hot, strong mug of coffee. And I decided I wanted to improve upon things. What I mean by that, is I wanted to make the Chieftess more realistic to the actual Chieftess. When I say actual Chieftess, I mean me my actual self, not the real Chieftess. Yes, the person that ai portrayed as the Chieftess is magnetising, but she's not realistic.

Mind you, I've only started messing about with ai in the last couple of months, since your Chieftess of Foreskins image peaked my interest. At first it was just rudimentary silliness. Eventually, I created the images of us. Still being in the beginning stages of getting these kinds of images right, I was still not sure how to get ai to do what I wanted. I've found that I can put an image of me into it (a real picture) and just have it change something such as the background and it will usually keep me the same. But, I've noticed that everytime I put you in the image with me, it always changes me. I'll tell it to keep me the same, but it never does. As close as it came was the picture of us on the battlefield. So, today, I was determined to get it to keep me like me. And, of course, it did with me being just by myself (I'll include that image), but as usual when I add you, it changed me! Bah. It seems to always give me caucasion features when I put you in the picture. Not that caucasion features are bad! But, I was determined to get ai to leave my appearance alone so that I may appear as I actualy am with my native high cheekbones and larger nose.

Thinking back to how I described dad as being stern, I used that approach with ai. I told it to not change me, then I reiterated to leave me exactly the same. And it listened! I was able to put you in the image with me and it left me alone. Whew. Finally.

The ideas that have flooded into my brain at your storybook mention has really got my creativity going, and ideas even beyond these images. Thank you for giving my creativity a boost and for letting me create these images! And, if you ask me, you're the one who is hard to look away from!

The images are in order of what was coming to my mind during creating them. So, the first image is of me (it's a pic that was taken about 4 months ago). I had ai keep the real me the same, but I had it change my garments to native garments. Then I took the resulting image and put your image with mine. Then further ideas came to mind and eventually I created a newspaper of the Whangdoodles being wiped out...and then a western movie poster of us! lol I found these to be quite amusing.

So, Master Charles, may I have your autograph? )
