This is a map of counties without power in the wake of hurricane Helene as of September 29th and it probably hasn't gotten much better by now. Victims are suffering catastrophic flooding, mudslides, fires, and infrastructure damage, and the federal and state governments aren't moving fast enough to help them.

I've compiled a small collection of lists of local groups and charities that are accepting donations online. It's not exhaustive and I can't gurantee all of them, but I'd honestly rather they get donations than FEMA, which is already doing more to stymie current relief efforts than contribute to them.

Tennessee

North Carolina

North Carolina

Florida

Georgia

Virginia

Many of these charities will be faith based and I know that leaves a sour taste in people's mouths here, so all I can say is use your own discretion on who you choose to support. This is about helping victims and that's it.

If you know of other local charities or organizations, please feel free to add them and share this around. It's going to be a long time before Appalachia can recover from this disaster but you can help speed it up just a little bit.

What’s currently going on with Toni and the gang?

So the thing is not a whole lot has been going on the past few months because Real Life happened to basically everyone in my discord group and we've been collectively busy, but I'm going to take this opportunity to summarise what's been going on for the past few years because people I haven't written with since 2016 are here again and explaining what's up with Toni now is an endeavour.

So:

(Tumblr I swear to all that is holy stop moving my read more)

2016-2018

2016 was a hell of a year for Toni. The absolute worst year of her life. Her adopted nephilim sons were murdered as part of infernal politics, Zeke vanished with his brothers in the wake of it, she herself was killed by Hanael due to actions taken to protect Lucida, and then Lucida herself was killed by a different demon anyway after expending her life debt bringing Toni back.

She doesn't do grief well. Can't sit in sadness. She got angry, because anger can save her when everything else is gone, and right then everything else was gone. She left New Orleans with one goal in mind; find a way to kill the demon who killed her children. At the time, she expected this goal to follow her into the afterlife.

At some point in her search for answers she came across Zeke, out on a depression bender after becoming disillusioned with his brother's quick rush into their next misadventure, but they parted ways again soon after.

2019

Toni met Mara (then possessing and going by Malcolm), the literal Whore of Babylon and queen of the NOLA crossroads, online and arranged a coffee date. Discovering that they rather enjoyed each other's company, the pair began to hang out more often. A few months later Toni made Mara her first birthday cake, and the demon's strong reaction to being shown basic kindness means they've been best friends ever since, even if Mara did insist on telling her that her body was "10/10, would posess"...

Ray, one of Mara's underlings and her current lieutenant, was assigned as Toni's bodyguard. Proving to be extremely food-motivated, he has since become Toni's roommate.

2020

Due to the pure coincidence of @concentratedbitterness picking a royal demon name out of a hat and landing on Andras: When Toni learnt that Marquis Andras, the instigator in her children's murder (and factor in much more of 2016's chaos besides) was causing problems for Mara in a bid to expand his own territory by snatching away the one she has worked tirelessly for centuries to make profitable, she sensed an opportunity for at least some petty revenge and threw what resources she had behind the pit demon. However, twists of politics and the revelation of personal secrets (first, that Toni is a former hunter and competent exorcist that the demon had neither suspected or guarded against, and second that Mara has a son whose creation was engineered by Hell to be a God Killer, who had not died during birth as she had lead Hell to believe but was in fact hidden away and being raised by his angelic father) forced more drastic action.

Mara needed to kill Andras.

Toni wanted Andras' death to be by her own hand.

Toni then asked Mara to possess he. Combining the demon's strength and power reserves with Toni's hunter background and research into the weaknesses of that one Marquis in particular, the brought the bastard down.

(In the intervening time, Malcolm, who Mara had intended to re-possess, was set free by Ray...)

Unfortunately, weakened in the aftermath of their victory, they were captured by other demons. This forced Mara's husband, the angelic father of her hidden son, to come out of hiding to rescue her, leading to his own capture by Heaven soon after. In a bid to protect his family, he agreed to take up his long dodged responsibility of overseeing the realm of Purgatory on the condition that they be allowed to come with him. Therefore, Mara (now in possession of a new, brain-dead host after Toni kept telepathically scaring off any conscious girl she tried to pick off the street) found herself dragged to Purgatory against her will, leaving Toni in possession of her earthly estate.

Around the same time, Malcolm, who had been taken on as an appentice by the long-time patron and distant relative of the Brockways, the warlock Santiago de Castilla, kidnapped Ray after rediscovering the notes of Santiago's former apprentice snd reignited an experiment begun on Ray several years earlier; a process to cleanse a demonic soul.

After a negative reaction to part of the experiment lead to Ray tearing off Malcolm's leg and escaping, Toni reconnected with her former roommate. Though her relationship to both parties was strained (with Ray for letting Malcolm go despite the risk he posed to Mara and herself, and with Malcolm for obvious reasons) she offered whatever assistance she could in seeing the experiment succeed, as in it she saw an opportunity to rescue her condemned-by-birth children, if something could only be done to retrieve their souls from Hell.

In the time between their rescue and Mara moving to a new host, Toni became aware through observing Mara and Hanael's private conversations by proxy that Han had begun a put rebellion in Hell which was taking full advantage of the chaos sewn by their assassination of Andras.

After a few months getting affairs in order, Toni and Mara are able to reconnect digitally if not in person. At the same time, Zeke quit his depression bender and reconnected with Toni. After being forced to confront both their grief and feeling for each other they became an official couple.

Toni also took on magic lessons with the fae queen Anna, in order to improve her glamour skills. They came to an understanding regarding Toni's part in her estranged husband's assassination.

With some nudging and woo-to-demon-speak translation work from Toni, Mara transitioned to drawing on Purgatory's energy source as opposed to Hell, suffering many of the same side effects as Ray was during Malcolm's experiment. Noticing the similarities, Toni encouraged the demon to allow information to be shared with her former adversary, helping the experiment with Ray along. Within a few months, Ray was shown to be successfully unbound from Hell.

2021

Toni then heard through the grapevine of supernatural contacts the Han's rebellion continued, but was struggling as the Crowns recovered from the earlier chaos. There lied the next opportunity; to secure her children's souls and take some manner of revenge on the royals who were complicit in their deaths all at once. With Mara's help she made a contract and braved a face to face meeting with Han to present it; all sensitive information gathered on the Crowns during years of overlooked observation and the location of Mara's remaining caches, in return for Han bringing her children along for the ride when he eventually made his run for the door.

While this took place, Mara was crowned Queen of Purgatory, and announced the annexation of the New Orleans territory during the official banquet. What seemed a petty and ill-considered move on its face was actually a calculated play in Toni's favour; resources spent on the territory dispute were resources not available to combat the rebellion or the rescue that relied on it. Meanwhile, New Orleans had been Mara's home base for centuries, with protections against such disputed built into the foundation. All they had to be was activated, and opposition was driven out over night, providing a secure territory for the escapees to retreat to. For security reasons, Toni's family was also moved inside the territory for their protection, revealing the supernatural to them in the process.

Purgatory also began taking in refugees from Hell, with the possibility of freeing them in the same manner as Ray.

Though not without complications, Toni's children were successfully retrieved from Hell, and brought to Purgatory for their own protection. Preparations began to adapt the experiment to their needs. Part of this experiment required drawing blood from the nephilim themselves. While Eli had stabilised and begun to recognise his mom enough to allow it, Asher, who had been much younger at his death and much further along in his demonization, pretended to allow it only long enough for Toni to get close enough to become dinner, then devoured the whole of her lower left arm before anyone could intervein. Devourement being somewhat irreparable, no healing magic would restore it.

Unfortunately, Mara had unintentionally become pregnant with a second god-killer. Heaven discovered this and came knocking at Purgatory's door, spurring Toni to make a deal with Anna for mutual protection of each other's children should trouble come knocking. Anna, learning of Toni's arm situation, offered a fae prosthetic, assuaging Toni's suspicion about the cost by declaring it payment for not going full scorched-earth in her revenge and preventing others from doing the same.

The pregnancy would almost kill Mara, if not for an instance of cross timeline time-travel. Mara's daughter 'Fig' (birth name Antonia), who had been forcibly taken as a ward of Hell and trained to fulfil the role of the antichrist after it had been rejected by Mara's son in her own timeline, had rebelled against her teachers and jumped through time, seeking the familiar energy signature of Han and Audrey's own god-killer infant daughter. Han, after deducing who she was, attempted to introduce her to Mara in the hope that her power might allow her to rescue the demon from her lethal pregnancy. However, contact between this timeline's foetal Fig and the alternate timeline's adult Fig proved catastrophic, with adult Fig absorbing the very essence of the unborn child and irradiating Mara and her host. Mara re-possessed Toni with her permission and remained dormant within her through months of grief. Only Toni's need to move on with the experiment with her own children convinced the now not quite a demon to take a new host.

The experiment proved a success with Eli, but failed for Asher. Grieving her own child while still not having time to process and box away Mara's grief from the latest possession, Toni threw herself into her work of documenting everything they had achieved and learned.

And then she collapsed.

It turns out that being possessed by what she would later call a 'semi-divine entity' had left Toni with irreparable damage to her health, as Mara had changed her body over the course of her own recovery in order to draw in sufficient energy from Purgatory without knowing the long term consequences it would have for her friend, only to cut Toni off from that energy when she left. She now requires a higher calorie intake to avoid hypoglycaemic crashes, is medicated with a medicine Anna used to regulate her own energy when pregnant by Andras, and must moderate her magic usage to avoid knocking herself out.

Mara's husband also died around this time, leaving Mara as the sole regent yet unable to properly control the realm.

2022

Anna's realm suffered repeat incursions from Hell due to problems caused by the rebellion. When the Crowns refused to take action in accordance with the tithe treaties, Anna cut ties and declared war on Hell. Toni found out about this when the deal she had negotiated to protect her own children was called in by Anna to protect Labella.

With their refugees energy situation proving to be a struggle in an already unstable realm, Toni saw another opportunity and negotiated temporary access to the fae realm's energy in order for Malcolm to try a further experiment on former tithe slaves.

And then there was the bomb.

Hell had smuggled a bomb through agents posing as refugees into Purgatory and planted it at the wellspring of its energy, devastating the realm at large and nearly killing Mara, who ended up possessing Toni again for a brief moment before finding a new host to return and oversee the damage. Though claimed as an assassination attempt, it was a cover for Prince Stolas to steal the remains of the infant Fig in order to do further research into the god-killers.

In the aftermath and with some far less than gentle threats negotiation from Toni, Malcolm was convinced to start working with purgatory in order to solve the refugee energy crisis. To do so, Audrey and Ig tracked down the soul of Augusto de Castilla, Santiago's son, who had been burned at the stake as a result of a deal with Mara to rescue his father from the Spanish inquisition centuries ago. He was an expert in alchemy and time magic.

Also, Toni's little sister started dating Leroy Brockway, Malcolm's nephew. Due to this, she invited Lee's family including Santiago to her family's Christmas dinner. Where Eli, upon learning that Santago's familiar Magdalena had "the same name as Mr Augusto's", spilled the beans about Augusto which until that point had been kept from Santiago lest he do something dangerous.

In the damage control conversation Toni had with Santiago immediately after this, he revealed a book he'd been given supposedly by someone from the future. One of the authors was Antonia herself. She might have thought it was some kind of trick, if it hadn't contained finished paragraphs based on notes she had only just written and not yet shown anyone. It is a book she is already writing without realising, despite swearing to never write a boot on her experiences since Gabriel (the angel of prophets) suggested it to her years ago. She does not want to think about the implications.

It's worth noting that Mara has a blood-vendetta against the entire Brockway bloodline, so when Toni found out Lee had gotten Hannah pregnant, Toni shot him in the ass (she was aiming to kill him, but Hannah pushed her and threw her aim).

Current

Toni is trying to ignore that she's doing prophet things while edging ever closer to doing even more obviously prophet things.

There is an ongoing thread of Toni pointing a celestial-enchanted gun (that Han designed) at Han and telling him to stop threatening to kill her on a whim all the time.

Due to a series of unfortunate and very stupid events, Han crushed Malcolm's hands and no one has managed to convince him to come back to purgatory if and when he recovers yet.

Hannah's pregnancy is ongoing but the timeline has been intentionally blurred until we have time to nail down some key precursor plot points because there's a whole reincarnation thing in here somewhere.

------

Most of these plot points are expended on if you read the drabble tags:

Toni's Drabble Tag

and @concentratedbitterness: HERE

I don't know where anyone else involved keeps theirs.

[dogsichub]

Some other fun B plots include:

-Joriel exploded.

-Mal was pursued by time traveling angels.

-Hale, Grem, Stolas and co. kidnapped and tortured Ig for information regarding Mara and the genesi, causing him lasting psychic damage and memory recall difficulties. Has done some work with Toni to create a mind palace.

-Han formed his very own Evil Corporation LLC, Siatris International.

-Toni ran into the first demon she ever banished in Purgatory.

-Toni got married!

-Mal and Ig got Space Vegas married, and still haven't told anyone.

-Mara started fucking Anna's dad.

[toraicblogs]

Further plots, in varying degrees of significance:

Zadkiel facilitated the conception of another godkiller child between Audrey and Han under orders from Raphael. Audrey nearly died from the birth (it would have killed her if not for some hardcore intervention from Han) but she's fine now. Luna is growing at an alarming rate, both physically and mentally, and is shaping up to be every bit her parents' child.

Audrey adopted alt!timeline Fig and is working, with some help from Han, on teaching her how to human after several centuries of angelic brainwashing upbringing.

After the bomb attack on Purgatory, Audrey coordinated relief efforts and in doing so, helped locate a series of highly powerful (and plot significant) magic pools hidden beneath the palace foundations.

Ig has officially become a Hound of God and started lessons from Thiess as his apprentice. He graduated to Journeyman after finding Augusto with Audrey.

Han made Audrey a weapon capable of killing both angels and demons.

Hello new followers! Currently I'm only active on @wilfofficial so that's where you'll find me 🤘

[toraicblogs]

Idk if it's just a me thing or what but, I can only slice myself so many ways between so many people. I can only handle extended interaction between about three people one on one for a day. On good days it's more but on bad days it's less. If I try to force more I get tired, anxious, irritable, it's not fun and that's what I'm here for.

So if you want to do something and I'm not responding, that's what up. It's not personal, it's just how it is. Sometimes I wish it wasn't but I'm learning to be ok with it.

[toraicblogs]

Rules! Cause that's probably useful for an RP blog

Don't be a dick.

I don't care if your muse is an asshole ic. You won't offend me. Just keep the assholery there.

That said there's a few things that are a hard stop for me. Incest and pedophilia are among them. That's my cue to ollie out. I'm not gonna police anyone but I'm also not keeping that shit around me.

I burn out talking to people easily, especially ooc. It's probably the 'tism. Please be patient and don't worry about bothering me to get a reply, I promise I don't mind.

I'm cool with ic relationships and plots. Keep me in the loop and its all good.

Feel free to @ me or my ocs anytime. Memes, just want to say something, it's all cool

I firmly believe in open communication. Talk to me if something comes up and we can work it out.

Stay radical always 🤘

[toraicblogs]

Also if you want to interact with Audrey or anything, feel free to @ her, it's all good!

[toraicblogs]

Hi new followers! I'm Tora, mun for Audrey Schwartz @wilfofficial . You may have heard mention of her via Han @goryh0le lol

I'm ready to give this rp thing a swing again as I expect to have a fair amount of free time for the next little while so, it's nice to meet you!

[houndofgod]

Hey everyone. I know I’ve been a long time away and it figures I show up again now of all times.

Given the state of things, I’m not sure I’ll ever come back to tumblr to rp, and I’m honestly not sure I’ll stay for anything else. This is not the site I joined seven years ago and it really hasn’t been since the Yahoo acquisition. I’ve met a lot of wonderful people here over the years but the site and community are broken, I think this time beyond repair. I see no point in keeping around something that no longer serves me and only makes me feel sad for a better time that’s long gone.

If you want to stay in contact, feel free to dm me for my Discord or Skype. I honestly have no idea if I’ll be moving elsewhere, I’ll wait and see which way the wind blows.

Until then, safe travels to you and stay radical wherever you go. It’s been fun.

Tora

//once again, if you are under age or dislike mature themes and topics, please remove yourself from my blogs. Block me if you want to. I don’t want anyone who is uncomfortable with the topics I rp to force themselves to stay for any reason. I will not censor myself for bullies who can’t handle that kind of personal responsibility. I have never claimed that any of the wrong things that Audrey does are right but I will not bowdlerize my blog for the sake of children that should not be here in the first place. If you’d like to discuss the events that led to this drama, my ims are open. Dog/paranormalsucctivity and I are comfortable in the knowledge that neither of us are racists, nazis, ableists or otherwise bigots of any kind. If you think otherwise, burden of proof is on you, please remove yourselves from our corner of the rp sphere. Thank you and have a lovely day.
