White Mexicans & Other Short Stories That All Definitely Happened
Too poor to escape Los Angeles, too weak to survive in it; Doug Morgan takes a job writing an Exploitation movie to pay the bills. Struggling with the pay-off between art and commerce he finds himself on the path to redemption, if he can scrape himself off rock bottom. Half novella, half short story compilation, White Mexicans is an American tale told in the Irish yarn tradition. Populated with Louden's usual spit & spite dialogue, off-colour humour and poetic lamentation of a world gone wrong; his third outing is a mix of fable and low-life fiction.
*The statement that all stories "definitely happened" is one used for entertainment purposes and should not be considered factual or legally binding. All too often Mr. Louden is full of shit

Gojins
Through a fissure in the dimensional cloth, a shapeshifter from the other dimension had found its way to a world named Urasia.
They were called Gojins, powerful shapeshifters coming from an unknown origin.

To prevent their scheme, a sage had decided to send Mereon to other dimension not only to protect him but also to find a host with a blood information that would match his host's blood information before.
After a long time, he was able to find Psyche, the other dimension Aria— Mereon's host that had long been deceased causing for him to become weaker day by day.
Only if a Gojin and a host performs a blood pact would the seal in their powers be broken.
When that happens, Mereon and Psyche will stop the Great Family Alliance with all their might to save the world.
Well, it could be things like calling Percy a 'fish - brain' in a more creative way in the fanfiction, since Percy is associated with water and has some 'fishy' traits. Maybe also something about his loyalty being misplaced, like 'Your loyalty to the wrong side, Percy, makes you a fool' kind of insults.
These insults can also change the dynamics between other characters. If the other characters witness Jason insulting Percy, they might take sides. Some might side with Jason if they believe his insults have some truth to them, while others will stand by Percy. This can split the group and create more sub - plots. For instance, Annabeth might feel the need to defend Percy even more strongly, which could lead to a romantic sub - plot development as she shows her loyalty to him. Also, the insults can be a catalyst for Percy's character growth. He might start to question himself after being insulted. If Jason says Percy is too reckless, Percy could then strive to be more cautious in his actions, which is a significant change in his character arc."
"Answer3": "The insults add emotional depth to the story. They make the readers feel for Percy, especially if the readers are fans of Percy. When Jason hurls insults, it can make the readers angry at Jason or it can make them root for Percy even more. This emotional investment keeps the readers engaged in the fanfiction. And from a storytelling perspective, it's a great way to introduce tension. Tension is what keeps a story interesting, and these insults are a simple yet effective way to create that necessary tension.
Well, in fiction there are many great insults. For example, 'Thou art a poisonous bunch - backed toad!' This not only insults someone's appearance but also implies they are malicious. 'Your wit is as dull as a rusty blade' is a good one too. It means that the person isn't clever at all. Also, 'You are a blundering oaf' gives the idea that the person is clumsy and stupid.
One of the best insults in fiction is 'You pompous, self - important buffoon!' It's a great way to put someone who is full of themselves in their place. Another could be 'Your intelligence is as small as a pea.' which is a really cutting and simple insult. And 'You are a walking disaster of a person' is also quite effective as it implies that the person is just a mess all around.
I think Mexicans love scary stories because it's a way to bond with friends and family. Sharing the fear and the excitement creates a special connection. Plus, it can be a form of entertainment that's different from the usual.
If someone is writing insults at the door, you can take the following measures to deal with it. First, you can call the police. According to the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, publicly insulting others or fabricating facts to slander others could be punished with detention for up to five days or a fine of up to 500 yuan. If the circumstances are more serious, they may be detained for more than five days but less than ten days and may also be fined less than 500 yuan. Secondly, you can collect evidence of the other party insulting you, including photos, videos, or other relevant materials. This evidence could be provided to the police or the court when needed. In addition, if you think that you have been hurt, you can also call the police according to the law. Finally, if you want to pursue civil compensation, you can file a lawsuit in court to protect your legal rights. Please note that the above suggestions are only for reference. The specific handling method needs to be decided according to the specific situation and legal provisions.
In pulp fiction, gendered insults often reflect the social norms and power dynamics of the time. For example, female characters might be insulted in ways related to their appearance or sexual behavior more often than male characters. This is not only demeaning to the female characters but also a way to reinforce gender stereotypes.
There could be many stories. For example, there might be stories about cultural exchanges. A white man could travel to Mexico and meet a local Mexican. They might share their different traditions, like the white man showing how Christmas is celebrated in his country, and the Mexican sharing about the Day of the Dead. Through this, they build a friendship.
It might be because scary stories are a way for them to bond and share excitement. Also, it could be part of their cultural traditions passed down through generations.
