Pax Letale Squee

Adding “And Then The Murders Began” As The Second Sentence Of Any Book Makes It Instantly Better.

I'm looking at you, Abel.

I'd like to bring this little gem to your attention...

Crash Course Mythology intro

I've been watching these guys for years (crash course biology got me through my exams when I was taking medical office administration in college). They're excellent and funny and well researched and I'm super stoked for this new series :D

Hello and welcome to the first edition of Pax Letale's RP Secrets! We had some wonderful submissions last week. Thanks to all who participated! We'll certainly do this again in the future, so keep an eye out for scenes, quotes, characters, or players you'd like to post a secret about next time around. And now... can you guess who each secret is about?

( Image heavy, but work safe! )

Interested in making your own PostSecrets, either to add to this edition or for the next time we run this OOC event? Here are the tools we used: Canva, an online graphic generator that's incredibly easy to use, and WeHeartIt, which is where we got all of the lovely images you see above. Simply upload the image to Canva, add your text or graphics, and save! You'll want to host the image yourself on a site for such things, like Imgur, TinyPic, or ImgBB, because no one likes hotlinking!

We hope you enjoyed this OOC event! Look for more to come, and if you have a suggestion, please let us know!

I did not watch the Grammys last night cos I don't care, but y'all have to look at this perfect goddess Beyonce and this perfectly godly costume.

Jesus CHRIST, y'all.

I really hope this goes here and I'm not just being an idiot ;)

So as mentioned, I'm a hopeless fangirl for my awesome PB Sarah Wayne Callies. I've been following her on Facebook/Instagram for a while and she's just put up info about a new movie she did that's gonna be premiering at SXSW this year. I watched the trailer and my jaw literally dropped to the floor.

Link to Youtube 'cause I can't code videos worth shit.

I have, for a long time, thought that this was the inevitable conclusion to the constantly escallating 'reality' tv shows trying to one-up each other. It sort of makes me think of Stephen King's 'The Running Man', the gladiators of ancient Rome, and/or Hunger Games, but without the pretense of it being a 'sport'. I seriously can't wait to see this. Thoughts?

Today is the day, players! As of Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017, Pax Letale is officially open for business. Please feel free to post an intro in the ooc if you haven't already, have your character introduce themselves on the network, or post any completed logs in the community. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the mods.

Pardon our dust! Pax Letale is under new management and will reopen 1 February 2017. Please make yourself comfortable in your new accommodations, and feel free to contact the concierge with any questions or special requests.

idk how many of you caught my hero Charlie Day on SNL this weekend. I just watched it tonight. This totally relevant gem could not go unshared.

... in which Adam is inhabited by Ares.

S (6:11:09 PM): If Ares were housed in someone gentle and sweet - say like an Adam - Aphrodite would always be trying to get her vessel to provoke him
S (6:11:25 PM): She'd be like "Just slap him, he'll love it, I swear"
A (6:11:47 PM): LOLOLOL
A (6:11:52 PM): What a fabulous AU that would be
A (6:12:17 PM): I can see Adam waking up from an Ares/Dite sex romp just covered in bruises and bites
A (6:12:22 PM): Being like O.O;;
S (6:12:33 PM): LOLOLOLOLOL
S (6:12:37 PM): POOR ADAM
S (6:12:48 PM): Alex would make a TERRIBLE vessel for Aphrodite
S (6:12:53 PM): Dite would be like OH MY GOD HER CLOTHES
S (6:12:55 PM): OH MY GOD
S (6:13:01 PM): OH MY GOD SHE HASN'T HAD SEX SINCE WHEN???
S (6:13:03 PM): OH MY GOD
A (6:13:05 PM): LOLOLba;riarweha
S (6:13:16 PM): LOLOLOL She'd totally have a fit of the vapors
A (6:13:30 PM): So would Ares when he had to ride around in Adam the Pacifist
S (6:13:39 PM): LOLOLOLOL
A (6:13:39 PM): That whole scene with Charlie would've made him so sullen for AGES
S (6:13:45 PM): LOLOLOLOLEghjpo;snh;oynha4rey
S (6:13:47 PM): 'p;olngrlk;sn.erh;lnsdrhl;n
S (6:13:48 PM): LOLOLOLOLL
S (6:13:55 PM): YOU SHOULD HAVE DECAPITATED HER
S (6:13:57 PM): LOLOLOLL
A (6:13:59 PM): He'd have been screaming like a psycho monkey in a cage


Ares in Adam

I like what you do in your spare time, Loki.

This post brought to you by the Mod Conference of 2011.

I'm sure you've all seen this site before, but just in case: Myths Retold is foul-mouthed, sacrilegious, and possibly the funniest thing on the internet.  I think it has at least one story tied to every character in play here.  Anyway, it seems like it might be relevant to our interests. :)

Now, for my question.  Is there some secret to posting videos on IJ? I've been trying to set up a "Playing in 507" for a while now.  It seems happy enough to embed the media, but when I try for the cut to hide the video the html goes ALL to pieces.  Any protips to share?

ETA: Thanks to Kohlsnake for helping me out! Enjoy the website!

Being a cool, living in a time capsule sorta retro girl, I just wanted to leave this here. For posterity's sake, you know.



Ares has some pretty awesome extracurricular hobbies, doesn't he? And what a great sense of fashion. Love, love for all! :D

So, my kid Rylee here is a huge Civil War freak. If you've read his ridiculously lengthy bio, you'll know this, but the condensed version is that he just can't get enough of the Civil War- specifically the Battle of Gettysburg. Upon coming home from Maryland today I stopped by the town of Gettysburg and took a quick peak at the Visitor's center and then had a very brief drive through a very small portion of the battlefields to get some disgusting take out.

None the less, I took awkward photos while I drove around, stopping awkwardly in the road to take a quick picture before moving on (no I didn't cause any car accidents or anything) and I figured I would post up some of the pictures so that if your character is unfortunate enough to meet up with Rylee when he's in one of his excitable Civil War moods you may be able to better visualize his rambling about Gettysburg.

( Okay so I'm kind of a huge Gettysburg freak myself but shhh )

( Wow, Samuel... wow. I don't even have any words. )

This is a verion of Aphrodite I've never seen until now...

The result of one off-handed comment in a chat room. Dee, I hope you see this.

( ... )

Edit 2: I added ones I could think of, and then I ran out of steam. If you have an idea for your character, by all means, make it and post it! Or if you don't have photoshop/a program equivalent, then make a comment and I can do it for you!

Because I can. What's up? XD

Hey everybody. :D

This is just a note to everyone in Pax Letale.

I've always loved this community, and I only seem to love it more every day. I'm so happy about the storylines, the characters, the events, and the people. I've enjoyed reading everyone's threads so far as our characters make connections, develop their plots, and have fun doing it (most of the time. ;)). A special shout-out needs to go to all our new players, who are kind of mind boggling in their collective talent as players and writers. I've so enjoyed writing with those of you I have so far, and can't wait to write with those of you I haven't yet! I can honestly say that this is one of the most talented groups of people I've ever written with.

Also, more props must go to our mod, Bug, who has been working her ass off attending to all the details. Your hard work, talent, and dedication to the quality of the community have been consistently immense, and as the community continues to flourish, I hope you see as much value in all you're doing as I - and I'm pretty sure a lot us - do.

So thanks, everybody. It's literally been years since I've been in a community I've loved and enjoyed so much, and it truly is a blessing to work with such an enthusiastic, intelligent, and talented group of people.

Love and love and love and love!
