Yes, it's the first time I've been through your wall, I've already followed you, and I hope to be able to tell you if the flow of notifications in my feed doesn't cause me to miss your content (I think I'll painfully have to delete people on my feed because I can't read and comment on everyone, a difficult decision because I read very interesting people). I admire and appreciate your explanation, if I value something it is when someone is offered respect, and from me you have earned it, gentleman. =)
Now that I know more about your vision and the context in which you have given the name to "Demas", the story takes on much more life and strength. It is always a good idea to add a section to our stories telling these types of details (yes, I know it is more work to take the time to write these details, but in the end, they greatly enrich our stories, and it ends up being something more valuable than what we believed).
From my point of view, I think it will be attractive if you develop the story more from both sides of the bloodline, it could even be interesting if one of the plot twists are the battles or alliances between brothers and perhaps even the probable consequences that it brought in the world ends with the council.
I greatly appreciate that you share your opinion about freedom of expression and the way you use the symbolism of daggers to refer to such important topics as freedom of expression and privacy. This definitely marks a thick line in your story, and gives it even more power. I also understand that the name "Demas" is not by accident, because surely this demon lets himself be carried away by his instincts of fury, anger, etc. to break the limits as far as "freedom" and "privacy" are concerned, at least that way. I suspect it now that I think about it.
What you mention about choosing privacy over freedom is very intelligent, I interpret it as a form of self-censorship, and believe me I understand it (I'm not criticizing you, I want to make it clear), and the truth is I think it must make you feel uncomfortable, perhaps even frustrated by not being able to openly express what you want, since you fear for your privacy.
I must tell you that I have personally experienced the violation of privacy, living in a country where these rights are not usually respected (socialist regime, Venezuela) and are openly violated. That's why I identify with what you express.
Very interesting to have this exchange with you, and whenever I have time I will return here.

Yup, we sometimes can't catch up with the content creators we want to read. Although now, new notification features allow us to get notified whenever our favorite content creator makes a post. Ecency favorites and Friday bot /monitor command are just some of the features I use.
But my intention here was just to deliver the message of the consequences of freedom of speech. If I had added the text in the blog, it might distract them. So I decided to skip it this time. But I did quote the feedback. Maybe in the end, I might include it as spoiler text (a click to reveal/read text).
Indeed, daggers here reflect taboos of society which might be acceptable in different situations but not in the current circumstances. It takes time for people to understand the normal that is currently not normal.
Other than what you just said above, which is correct, names like Qasim (which is my real name and Q in dlmmqb stands for Qasim) are pronounced in two steps, like Qa-sim. The simplicity and uniqueness of it are some of the reasons too.
Thanks for the flattering and clever way to compliment. But I am not too intelligent. I first write in Urdu and then translate it into English, thus it's sometimes confusing for me to write. For example, here at the start of the story, I use the word "chanting," but I am not sure if it's the right word for clapping as the crowd was standing, clapping, and hooting too. I can only try, but still, I am left with a lot of doubts sometimes.
Thanks for updating me that you are from Venezuela; I am from Pakistan. I also share the same faith as you.
This is very interesting and I am grateful to you that you decided to share something so personal.
I was about to ask you the meaning of the acronyms in your profile, since I'm quite curious about it. I suspect they represent something quite important to you.
Regarding the word "chanting" I also have my doubts, but this is because the translator assumes the word in a possible context that is not always the correct one (due to artificial intelligence mechanisms that take as an example the greatest number of contexts in that word is used correctly), but really the word "chanting" refers to when groups of people are making "praises", "singing", or a kind of religious, cultural or traditional tribute to something or someone. In the case of your story, I understand that they are celebrating the protagonist's achievement as the best magician in the academy, so I would use the word "acclaiming" or "cheering", perhaps it is more appropriate, in reality I would have to know what words you would use in your native language to give it the appropriate meaning.
And this is what often happens with translators, they are of great help in breaking down communication barriers, but in these cases like the one in your story, the meaning of a story can significantly change between "singing" the name to "acclaiming it", Well, the story goes from having a religious scenario (with "chanting" word) to an adventure scenario (with "singing" or "aclaiming" word). So there is still a long way to go when it comes to translators and AI, but in general terms I think we are making progress (I apologize for showing my enthusiasm about it, but I think it is something that contributes to humanity if used correctly).
Pakistan is a country with an amazing culture, I greatly admire its gastronomy. Every time I can I watch videos of their street food, so I can learn and find out what the life of the average Pakistani is like, the one who represents the country.
Talking about Venezuela is hard for me, it is not something I like to do because I have a very harsh and controversial opinion about it, due to great tragedies that I still have a hard time overcoming, and in order not to go into too many details, I will only tell you that it is a beautiful country, but for me it represents pain and infinite difficulties of survival.
I want to tell you that I really enjoy writing with you, gentleman.
Hey, sorry for the late reply! Life is exhausting sometimes, isn't it?
The Tale of My Username DLMMQB! https://peakd.com/hive-153850/@dlmmqb/the-story-of-my-username-dlmmqb
In this blog, I shared more details about my username. You might wanna check it out.
Thanks, I updated it to "cheering".
I also try to avoid negative topics these days. Although we can change our Destiny by hardwork along with luck. :)
Hello, don't apologize, life is full of responsibilities, I live it all the time so I understand you.
The history and meanings of your alias is very interesting. It's a pleasure to meet you Muhammad the visionary dreamer.
Destiny is changed, especially if you have good vibes, energy and positivism, for everything else, there is a master card (joke).

@dlmmqb! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @manclar. (2/5)
Thanks for understanding.
Actually, in our culture MUHAMMAD is used by Muslims as the name of prophet Muhammad to pay him respect. Butt in last is my caste/ethnicity. While my name is Qasim actually. It would be fun to watch a clip of yours trying to pronounce Qasim, hehe.
That is undoubtedly going to be a great challenge. On Fridays in the ecency discord at 9pm UTC Turkey, several people of different nationalities, Turkey, India, Pakistan, Venezuela, meet to talk about different topics.
I invite you to go there if you have time and I will surely try to pronounce your Name, although I surely hope you will excuse me if I do it wrong, because that will probably be what will happen.
Anyway, if you can't attend, I promise that for the next video I make on 3speak, I will say your name, and if you don't mind, I will tag you in the video so you can come watch it =)
My videos are in Spanish, but I usually put subtitles in English, so you can understand the topic I am talking about, which are generally interesting topics. The most recent video was about death.
