So according to the official Reddit for VtM: Eternal Whispers, we will not have a choice of clans for the PC. Per one of the replies by the devs on the post, which I will link further below:
"While you remain a Caitiff from a narrative perspective, Montreal is home to many clans from the World of Darkness. Players take on the role of Gabe, a Caitiff with no clan affiliation. You can either build your character freely by choosing your own Disciplines or select a clan-inspired archetype based on iconic clans such as Ventrue, Brujah, Gangrel, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Toreador and Tremere."
No word yet on if the Tzimisce, Lasombra, Salubri, or any other clans/bloodlines will be available as archetypes yet, but really hoping we will get that at the very least.
*My name is Umm Khaled, a mother of three children from Gaza 🇵🇸💔*
My name is Umm Khaled, a mother of three children from Gaza I never thought I would write such words, but war makes it impossible to remain
I never thought I would write such words, but war makes it impossible to remain silent in pain.
I lived with my children in a small, modest house, but one filled with warmth and love. We dreamed of the simplest things—to eat together, to go to school, to live in peace. We tried to cope with the siege, the power cuts, and the water shortages, but we always thanked God.
Then came the last war, and it took everything from us.
*In a single moment, the house collapsed on us.* I ran with my children, not knowing where to go. The sound of rockets, the screams of neighbors, the dust and smoke… everything was terrifying. We miraculously survived, but we lost everything. No clothes, no food, no toys, no safety.
We fled south on foot, searching for a tent to shelter us. We arrived exhausted, hungry, and terrified. Since then, we have been living in a tattered tent, amidst the cold, hunger, and fear.
My youngest son is sick from the cold and malnutrition, and I can't afford his medicine.
My eldest daughter asks me, "Mommy, will we ever go back home? Will I ever be able to go to school again?" And I have no answer.
I try to be strong for them, to smile at them despite the pain, to hide my tears every night, but I break down every time I see them sleeping hungry and without blankets.
I'm not asking for much.
I implore you, as a mother, as a human being, to look at my children as you would your own. Any donation, no matter how small, can make a difference in our lives. It can feed my children, or buy them blankets or medicine.
I have launched a fundraising campaign so that I can support my children and get back on my feet.
Even if you can't donate, please share my story. Perhaps it will reach a kind heart that will help us.
From my heart to yours,
*I pray for your peace, and I pray that God will save my children.*
Thank you for reading… Thank you for remaining human amidst this darkness 🕊💔
Urgent warning to residents of Gaza City in blocks 726, 727, 784, and 786
⭕️The IDF will attack the building soon
⭕️For your safety, you are obliged to evacuate Gaza immediately south to the humanitarian zone in Khan Yunis.
This is the threat of the occupation army to us, but what is the cost of moving to Mawasi Khan Yunis, the area that is said to be safe even though the bombing is still going on there, to tell you the cost, transportation in addition to some necessities in addition to renting a place to live may amount to $7000 due to the lack of fuel transportation is expensive and due to the lack of houses rents are expensive and due to the fact that all of Gaza will move to this area everything is expensive!
We reject the idea of exit. We prefer death to this difficult predicament. The life of an entire family = $7,000. I am publishing this now. My goal is to obtain $1,000 for transportation first and immediate evacuation. I need to secure the transportation cost now!! Urgently.

Resharing this post will help us reach as many people as possible, which will help us generate enough donations. We currently have $33,421 and we need to reach $34,000 as soon as possible.
No donations since eleven hours! Please, please, please, help Nesma and her family out. They went throught so much suffering that no human being should ever endure
"I am a mother to a little girl… My daughter is not asking for toys or sweets, she only needs diapers.
The war has stolen her sense of safety and left me powerless in front of her tears. Every day I watch her suffering, and I feel broken because I cannot provide her with the basic comfort and dignity she deserves.
Please, help us… Your donation today could be a lifeline for an innocent child who did nothing wrong but was born into the cruelty of war."

Non-stop bombing on Gaza City.. by land, sea and air. We are in a state of mourning. We can't go out, we can't afford a tent, or transportation because all the prices are unimaginable. What's even harder is that land is being rented for $10 per square meter, and I have nothing, no money 💔🥺

It's really telling that no one on the yt ass app has talked about how ICE has just been given more power to abuse the latine and immigrant community. I know it's all been "charlie kirk this, charlie kirk that" but that doesn't detract from that fact that on Monday, September 8th the supreme court ruled that ice can detain based solely on having brown skin or "looking latine," speaking Spanish or speaking English with an accent, being present at locations that have migrant workers, or the type of work they have.
When this news broke my dad told me and my siblings, all of us who are US Citizens, born and raised in the US, that we have to carry some form of official documentation on us, especially because we live in a city that has been heavily targeted by the Trump administration for being a sanctuary city. My grandmother was staying with us and even though she is my non-latine grandmother, and she's a US citizen, my dad and aunt made the decision to have my dad drive her back home to New Jersey because she has an accent and her documents are back home.
As someone who is latine and south asian, I need you to know that this will not just affect latine people! My non-latine cousin was pulled over by ice about two weeks ago just for being brown! However this will disproportionately affect latine people. Just today ICE was seen on the street by my home and my work! One of my duties at work is to make sure that ICE does not come into our elementary school because we're a predominantly latine school. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE ICE DOES NOT KIDNAP 5 YEAR OLDS. That is the reality of the situation.
I want it to be known that I have been scared before because I'm living as a person of color in the United States. I have been scared before because of being a south asian born post 9/11. I have been scared before being a latina growing up during the Dreamer movement, despite being a citizen. However, before this week I have never been scared enough to feel the need to carry documentation proving I am a citizen of the damn country I was born in! Now I feel that scared though. Especially because a few months ago, for the first time in my life, someone assumed I didn't speak English. Another person of color assumed I didn't speak English and shit talked me in the CVS aisle because they assumed I didn't speak English. And then a week ago I also got mistaken for not speaking English when I went to the doctor's office and chatted with the receptionist in Spanish and then was handed Spanish paperwork to fill out.
Anyways, the point is the fact that I have seen maybe two? three? posts about this on here is upsetting and immensely telling. Speak up. Talk about the fact that this is happening because it will not stop with targeting latines. It will become worse. It already is because the government is going to punish immigrants for "making light of" charlie kirk's death. Not for celebrating, or joking, for making light of.
This silence is astounding. It's not surprising, but it is just astounding to see how little y'all truly care about brown people and immigrants.
On The Superstition of Bridget's Home Town And How Its Ambiguity Is A Detriment To Her Character, Or Please Daisuke I Am Begging You To Do More With Bridget's Backstory.
The superstition about twin boys in Bridget's home town feels like it could have been way more horrible and terrifying than was vaguely presented in the game.
For those who don't know, or forgot like me, in Bridget's home town they believed that the birth of twin boys brought misfortune and the youngest of the twins had to either be given up for adoption or killed; because Bridget was the youngest of twins her parents hid her birth gender by raising her as a girl. You can say that she's an amab-to-afab-to-amab trans girl. She's like triple trans; the transest transgender girl to ever trans teh world.
I never really thought much about it other than how silly it was, but as I started a new GG AU fic set in Vampire the Masquerade (originally intended to be a number of short vignettes that is getting far heftier than I intended), I gave the superstition a decidedly WoD twist to make it a bit darker and it got me thinking about it again.
Let me preface this that the original idea is horrifying already; having to give up one of your children, either through forced adoption or death, is a terrifying thing for a parent to have to deal with. Added to that, doing something to avoid potential misfortune from befalling your community is also understandable. However, from a story telling perspective not giving more details regarding the origins of the superstition and the potential outcomes of not following is a detriment to Bridget and her backstory.
When I really started thinking about the superstition the first time I read it and thought about potential fic ideas for Bridget, I asked the obvious question "Why didn't her family just move or force the village to change?" Her bio on the Strive website states she is the daughter of multi-billionaires, which makes you wonder why they bothered to follow the whims of the village in the first place; with that amount of money they could move away, hiring new clergy or bribe the current religious leaders of the village to preach something new, hell they could probably just crush anyone who would kick up a fuss with their check book if they wanted to. It makes no sense.
Having it be more fleshed out would have added more flavor to Bridget's backstory, her personality, her motivations, and her family and village as a whole. Like how did Bridget feel when she learned that her parents essentially cheated the system through their money and power while the poorer folk had to give up their children for the sake of the village? How did the village feel about her and her family after they learned the truth, were there any repercussions for them? I mean if this were real life probably not because, you know, billionaires, but considering even with all their money they were still beholden to the superstition there might still be? Who knows. But if we had more time put into showing us her home town, her family, the superstition and its affect on the village and her life, I believe it would add more to her character and give her more depth.
If they do give us a new story mode like they did for Lucy (which still pisses me off that they started that with her and not the rest of Season 4, but I digress), I really hope that one chapter is dedicated to fleshing out her home town more. Also having Bridget search for her brother, or at least mention him. Seriously, bro's been missing since Accent Core and we've seen neither hide nor hair of him since.
So until Daisuke decides to flesh out the characters more and fix the character assassination that Dual Rulers did to our girl, the onus doing that work falls upon us, the fans. In an unrelated segue to a what is certainly not a shameless plug, be sure to look out for my next Guilty Gear fic In My Heart, a blood stained, Mayburi vampire love story set in the dark world of Vampire the Masquerade. It follows the Tzimisce neonate Bridget Ainsley in a series of vignettes chronicling the tail-end of her mortal life, her first death and unlife, and a chance meeting that will change the course of her fate forever. Due to be released on AO3... eventually.
All jokes aside, thank you for taking the time to read my silly little lecture. I hope that you have a wonderful day or night or whatever time you are reading this, and that all your dreams and ambitions come true. Until we meet, I bid you good evening.
Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.
Further, some authors may never even find out the lawsuit is happening. The court's suggested notification scheme "would require class claimants to themselves notify other potential rightsholders," groups said, overlooking the fact that it cost Google $34.5 million "to set up a 'Books Rights Registry' to identify owners for payouts under the proposed settlement" in one of the largest cases involving book authors prior to the AI avalanche of lawsuits.
If you're an author, please use this database to see if you could qualify for that sweet GenAI lawsuit money.
Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.
I have never ever ever in my life asked someone to blaze my posts.
But if you want to throw me some pennies blaze this. I want ALL OF THE AUTHORS to know that they have the opportunities to get some sweet sweet GenAI lawsuit money.

I am Hanadi from Gaza, the mother of a family of five. Our house was bombed, and in an instant, my daughter was lost under the rubble. My second daughter was seriously injured, resulting in the amputation of her leg.
We are living in extremely difficult conditions today, and we need urgent assistance to secure treatment and provide for our basic needs after we have lost everything.
My name is Sunny and I am sponsoring this fundraiser on Hanadi's behalf. Please see her story below and share this campaign.

I present my case to you, and I hope that those with compassionate hearts will extend a helping hand with financial support.
My name is Mohammed, I live in Gaza City and I am 19 years old. I have lived through the full horrors of war — hunger, displacement, fear, relentless bombings, destruction, and so many other painful experiences 🥹😭.I never created a donation link before, and I haven’t received any kind of help throughout this devastating war 🥲💔.
I was so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and I dreamed of starting a small shop to earn a living. But sadly, the war returned — even more violent and destructive than before 😭.Our area has now been declared a dangerous combat zone, and we lost our home — the only shelter we had 💔.
Worst of all, my father was seriously injured: he tragically lost one of his hands and an eye, and he is now completely unable to work or support our family 🥲😭.
Prices have skyrocketed, and we have no source of income. I’m launching this donation campaign now with a broken heart but a little hope 🥲.
Please, for the sake of humanity and for the sake of my family, consider making a donation to help us survive 🙏💔.
I just created the donation link, hoping that someone out there might lend a helping hand.

My name is Ahmed, I am 18 years old and I live in Gaza City 🥺🇵🇸.I have created a donation campaign to help my family get food, water, and the basic essentials we need to support my little siblings and my mother 🥺.Since March 2025, we had to leave our already destroyed neighborhood after it was declared a dangerous war zone, and we now live in a tent on the street in western Gaza. We are suffering from extreme hunger, with nothing to eat unless we receive daily support through our campaign 😭.The few donations we get are barely enough to buy food for my family because prices are extremely high here in Gaza due to the border closures and the long war 🥲.
Unfortunately, Tumblr has deleted all of my accounts I was using to reach you, because of restrictions on Palestinian content. I lost all my previous donors and the shares on my old post.That’s why I am kindly asking you, please support me by donating to my campaign and sharing this new post 🥺🫂💘.

This is the link to my campaign, which has been verified by the page gazavetters on Tumblr, number 542 .Unfortunately, my campaign does not receive daily support from donors like many other Palestinian campaigns. That is why I need to ask for your help—because without asking, I don’t receive any donations.
My connections are very limited, I don’t know many people, and I don’t know how to reach others. So, for the sake of God, please donate to my campaign as much as you are able 💔.

The moment I saw Nerville turn into the moon from Majora's mask and Jack-O's piss wave, I knew what I had to do. Really crappy edit, but I think it's funny.
The gay little brain worms in my head want more Mayburi but I still can't draw, so crappy digital figure mode edit it is. This is based on a scene from the movie Nightbreed when Narcisse hits on Ohnaka (Yes, Bridget is trying to cope a feel; digital figure mode sucks so I can't make it look much better)
