"THE LADY OF THE MOON, MY BRIDE -- ASTAROTH HER NAME..."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a photograph of vocalist Kip Trevor of Leicester's occult rock band BLACK WIDOW, and famous British Witch, Maxine Sanders, engaged in a live onstage ritual. The photo was later used as the picture sleeve art for the rare Japanese 45 vinyl pressing of "Come to the Sabbat/Way to Power" on CBS Records/Sony, c. 1970.

"The Lady of the Moon, my bride -- Astaroth her name, Side by side we wove the spells that drove mere men insane, "Get thee hence and scour the world -- seek and you shall find," Read my books, yes, learn from, and Power you shall gain."

-- "Way to Power" (1970) by BLACK WIDOW

Tell us more about this Oscar :)

ok but how delighted is Lando every time Oscar decides to use any kind of innuendo with him it's obscene - shy, quiet Normal Guy with his petite girlfriend and their cute old people habits just made a joke about Lando symbolically unloading his heavy balls onto him and Lando wants to suck his dick with pride

also and ik terrible quality but can we appreciate the little moments from this presser where they look past Max to smile at each other

shit like this is what fits my au where the rest of the grid see the McLaren Boys - especially when they're twinning - and think damn, something ain't right and this isn't gonna be good for us because what are two young pretty things doing when they're sharing private creepy little smiles with each other in broad heterosexual view of formula one

I went down a bit of a Martian rabbit hole today and came across these pictures of Sebastian Vettel congratulating Mark Webber for winning the 2010 Monaco Grand Prix.

Uhh…let’s just say I went a teeeeeny bit feral. *glances guiltily down at my broken fingernails* Oops…! 😳

Look at these pictures and tell me they don’t look like they were about to kiss each other right there and then. I DARE you!

Apologies if these images are all out of order. That’s just how I ordered them! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#Seb is the type of guy who technically *would* kiss Mark if an opportunity presented itself #I mean he was brave enough to give David Coulthard a peck on the cheek at a Japanese press conference so… #I want them to kiss so badly! #On the cheek or on the lips? Doesn’t matter! It’ll make my Martian brain happy either way~ 🥰 #I love them with all my heart your Honour #I feel much better from the cold but not from the Martian fever #It’s a fever that’s everlasting and cannot be cured 💕 #martian monday #martian #sebastian vettel #vettel #mark webber #webber #formula 1 #f1 #2010 #2010 monaco grand prix #2010 monaco gp #red bull #red bull racing #not bad for a number two driver #monaco #monte carlo

Staff Pick of the Week

For today’s staff pick, I want to share another book from the collection of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick, entitled Kimono| Kosode: A Decorative Study of the Kimono. Designed and bound by Carol Schwartzott (b. 1945), this book uses Japanese Chiyogami paper as the ‘fabric’ for the kimonos between archival boards throughout the book. The book explains to readers the history of the Japanese kimono’s creation and augments the information with beautiful decorative elements. Each fold-out includes a cut-out kimono as well as a heading and short section about the topic introduced in the heading. Another interesting feature of this book is its binding; it uses a piano-hinge binding designed by Hedi Kyle (b. 1937) and the patterned paper can also be seen wrapped around the dowels that make up the binding.

The book discusses the origins of the kimono, which was once called a kosode, and goes into detail about the historical periods when the garment gained popularity, explaining how “[with] each period in history, the kosode evolved, adapting its design and decorative elements to current style…”

Printed in an edition of 125 copies by Blacks Corner Letterpress with Monotype Gill Sans Light cast by the Bixler Press & Letterfoundry, this book was created for the Library Fellows of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC in December of 2001.

I'm just thinking about the evolution of Sebastian's vernacular from when the contract is first made to present day. Specifically in the change from him referring to Ciel as ごしゅじんさま ("goshujinsama") or "master" to our beloved 坊ちゃん ("bocchan") or "young master."

I'm not fluent in Japanese, but I see this as a change from a very formal title to almost a title of endearment, while retaining respect and honour. Perhaps the use of "goshujinsama" was early Sebastian's way of mocking his new master's smallness and pathetic nature in comparison to the masters that came before him. But the switch to "bocchan" is Sebastian acknowledging how young Ciel is while simultaneously acknowledging the weight of his title. That his young master wields great power despite his age and stature.

If I'm remembering correctly, Claude only refers to Alois as "goshujinsama" rather than "bocchan," perhaps implying a less-emotionally-attached bond between the two of them to contrast to Ciel and Sebastian.

I would love any input on this from folks who are more familiar with the Japanese language.

Also...just a related thought, one of my favourite things about the official English translation of Kuro is seeing how Yen Press maintains the effect of Sebastian's keigo (hyper formal speech) by writing Sebastian's dialogue as never including contractions (i.e., "can't" becomes "cannot"). It's one of my favourite details to include when writing Sebastian in fic — adds a certain uncanny, inhuman formalness to him, I think. And I'm a slut for tiny details like that.

You can read a great thread on Sebastian's speech patterns here.

Edit***

I should have clarified, by "early Sebastian" I meant Sebastian at the beginning of the contract, not at the beginning of the series.

#kuroshitsuji #black butler #sebastian michaelis #yen press out here doing the devil's work #language matters so much in kuro!! #I think a lot of it has the potential to be lost in English which is such an “exact” language #Japanese suits Sebastian and the story because of its ability to portray and possess multiple meanings at once #I wish I was bilingual

HAPPY MIKU DAY!!! <33

had to record an appropriate song (39 Music) for the occasion!! this is one of my faves tbh... would've been cool to have gotten a Perfect score as icing on the cake, but I'm still pretty happy with the score I did get! :'D

always love to have a reason to celebrate our fave virtual pop star, though! 39 Miku!!!

#vocaloid #hatsune miku #miku day #project diva #hatsune miku: project diva mega mix #videos #spectre says #for anyone who doesn't know btw :0 39 can be read as 'san kyuu' in japanese #and 'sankyu' is like saying 'thank you' #but the number is also attributed to miku as a character too so it goes hand in hand haha #anyway i love this game so much fkjgsdf #i might have to adjust my lag input or something tho because like. it's felt kind of weird as of late #not sure if it's lag or if there's something wrong with my controller #but it feels bad when i miss inputs that i definitely know i pressed at the right time #ESPECIALLY that one double slide that ruined my combo;; #but aside from that i'm happy with this run! #also background is dimmed because I have a mod for that kfjsghf #in case anyone noticed and was wondering why it looked that way lol
