#NOW regeling

[miley1442111]

hi, this is so random but can you do a story for bucky barnes from marvel? Like something angsty with him and reader being separated and she's a hydra agent but it's kind of just before infinity war. Like she was frozen too because she was a scientist and seen as a threat but also an asset and now she's like 'the new winter soldier' since he escaped hydra and she doesn't remember him, but then she does?

Thank you! 💓💓💓💓💓

thank you for submitting this, this inspired me to open up a marvel category!

I'll always find you, doll.- b.barnes

a/n: this is a fem reader but as per usual, imagine what you like :)

summary: your mission to get a hard drive from the avengers compound can only go well, right?

pairing: buckybarnes x reader

warnings: general marvel topics, mind control, fighting, hospitals, reader being seen as 'dangerous', general angst.

Everything was so loud. The gunshots, the punches being thrown at you and the ones you were throwing back. You were fighting a teenager in a spider-suit. Somewhere in the back of your head, you knew that was wrong, but you couldn’t even access the memory of your name. Only your orders remained. Get the hard drive.

You had fought your way through Agent Romanoff, Spider-boy, Agent Rhodes, Bird-man, and Bug-man. Next up was Stark and Captain America. The others were either dead or unconscious. 

“You don’t have to do this, let us help you,” the Captain spoke, his shield at the ready. 

“And why would I do that?” You asked, taking your knife from the holster on your waist.

“Because we have Barnes,” Stark cut in. 

“Who the hell is ‘Barnes’?” You spoke, then threw the knife. It hit the Captain before he could dodge and it lodged itself in his arm. He let out a groan of pain and pulled it out, ready to fight again. Stark relied on his suit and attempted blasting you, but you were too quick, jumping out of the way. 

After a long back and forth between you and the two men, Stark got close enough to drug you, and everything went black.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You woke up in a hospital bed with no recollection on how you got there. You rattled against the chains that held your hands, screaming for anyone. After a few hours of yelling, you realised no one was coming, and your body let itself sleep again.

You woke up again, to someone outside your room. 

“You have to let me see her!” A male voice. 

“No way Barnes,” Stark sighed. “She’s too dangerous like this. You’ll either set her off or make her angry-”

“She knows me,” Barnes shot back, cutting Stark off. 

“Oh, you mean the woman who flat out asked who the hell you were, that woman knows you?” Stark snarled. "we have bigger things to deal with, Thanos is coming!"

You stifled a groan at the throbbing pain in your muscles. You clearly had no medication, no IV, nothing.

“I'm well-aware of our current situation Tony. I'm also aware that some part of her knows me!” Barnes argued. “Just… let me see her, please. Even if she’s asleep. Please Tony, she’s my wife.”

Who the fuck was he talking about? 

Reich, Händler, Kohle, Regel, Atmosphäre, Markieren, Strafverfolgung, Haltung, Überfall, allmählich. 

Rich, dealer, coal, rule, atmosphere, mark, law enforcement, attitude, raid, gradually.

They played in your head like a pulsing mantra. You had never been one for speaking Russian, so you had German words. You hated the people that did this to you. The people that tortured you, the people that wiped your memories, the people that broke you. 

“Bucky, you’re going to end up killing yourself over this, don’t bother with her.”

Bucky. Your Bucky. 

Your Bucky was behind that door. Your husband. The man you loved so dearly before you were taken by Hydra. 

“Buck?!” you shouted, clarity pushing the fog in your brain away. You broke through your chains, the strength of the serum making it easy. “Bucky!” You screamed again, trying to get the door open. 

“Y/N?! Doll?!” He shouted back, opening the door. You launched yourself at him, wrapping your arms and legs around his torso in an all-consuming hug. “I thought you were dead,” he whispered into your neck as he hugged you. 

“I thought you’d never find me,” you sobbed into his neck. 

“I’ll always find you, doll,” he promised, holding you tighter. You pulled back a bit, tilting his head so you could kiss him. For the first time in 60 years, you kissed your husband. It felt good. His lips felt the same as they did on your wedding day. Yes, it was a quick wedding in a courthouse in 1942. Yes, most people thought that you were pregnant, or you were using him for army benefits. But none of it was true. You adored each other. You just couldn’t wait. You were so in love with each other.

“I love you,” you grinned against his lips, the kiss tasting of salty tears, though neither of you cared. 

“I love you too.”

Nou mensen, kabinet Wilders I is bijna een feit...

Heeft iedereen z'n bruine hemd al gestreken?

Het enige positieve dat ik kan vinden in dat regeer akkoord is dit

En dit - small mercies

Maar recht op nareizen inperken, niet meer meedoen met Europees immigratiebeleid, grenzen dicht, verplicht leren over de holocaust (kan geen kwaad maar dit is echt weer pvv style) en de NL ambassade naar Jeruzalem. Want er is nog niet genoeg stront aan de knikker in die buurt, daar moet Nederland nog even een schepje bovenop doen.

Echt dat fucking yesilgoz tegen gezinshereniging is terwijl zij hier niet eens zou zijn zonder die regeling is zo fucking stupid.

En dan dit

De linkse hobby's worden duurder maar ook de fascisten en de boeren willen naar de efteling dus dat gaan we niet omhoog gooien.

En hoe geef je politiek neutraal seksuele voorlichting?

Ik zou zeggen nieuwe verkiezingen when... Maar dan krijgen we waarschijnlijk kabinet baudet/wilders.

To my non Dutch speaking followers - the four biggest parties after last November's election have just announced their plans for the future and well... If you wanted to visit the Netherlands - better do it soon. Especially if you don't live in an EU country.

We had the money grabbing right wingers who fucked everything up for everyone that's not rich like their supporters, now we have the fascists, the farmers, the "fight for justice and truth" guy who really is a Christian Democrat in a trenchcoat, and the same money grabbing assholes as the past 13 years, only now with the daughter of an immigrant who is against immigration and picks fights with journalists as leader.

They want to close the borders and want out of EU immigration treaties - just so the fascists can keep (and kick) more people out of the country.

Does anyone outside of this hell hole want a roommate?

Wanna be a Fashionista?: My opinions on Fashion Dreamer

Long post of my thoughts, follow my Fashion Dreamer showcase: Dyxyg5yr36

I’ll say it right here right now, this game has a chokehold on me as soon as I opened up the main menu. The gameplay loop is very addicting. But before I dive into my many praises I have to talk about some of my gripes with this game.

First of all the lack of clarity; it’s good that they have the button prompts on the screen because oh lord it’s very confusing when you first start out. It’s no wonder the first quarter of the game is a tutorial! I mean yes there are useful tips are there in the tip menu, but some things need to be written out directly. Especially when it comes down to Online Events such as the current (as of right now) Fantasy Butterfly Fairy event. I had to get help from a few other players and online video guides just to make heads or tails for some of the mission prompts. I have a few family and friends who either have the game or are in the process of wanting to get it, I think a consecutive written guide needs to be created so I don’t have to explain for the billionth time to ‘press plus then X’ and so on. (Pro tip: Once you reach platinum rank, the credits roll and take a very long time. Afterward you unlock the final cocoon.)

The next con is a bit of a personal one, the lack of fashion item variety and makeup limitations. The irony of this one I know, but items such as gloves, necklaces, leg warmers, bracelets, suspenders, and inners are relegated to specific shirts, one pieces and shoes. As of writing this there are no; jumpsuits with long pants, cat ears, traditional tiaras, and long mermaid / ball gowns. And ironically a lack of male fashion too. While yes, we get to play as a guy there is the fact some of the girls outfits don’t carry over to the guys. There’s a tee shirt from the Type A body that I really like and think would look perfect for the Type B body and vice versa with pairs of shoes or one pieces. Makeup isn’t as detailed to work with, they’re mostly relegated to prompts instead of picking blush, eye shadow, and eyeliner separately. The length of eyelashes are also regelated solely to the eye shape you picked and are only customized by color.

My final gripe is a smaller one in comparison is lag hiccups. When walking around the different cocoons with a gazillion downloaded items can cause gameplay optimization to stutter a snails pace both online and during Solo Mode. Even if it’s as short as 3 seconds or a “Loading Please Wait” prompt while running around can occur. It’s just a small issue so hopefully down the line, the devs will fix that with an update. I understand there are limitations to the game as a whole but that still doesn’t deter me from playing. Now for the major positives.

The fact you can walk around and play as a male avatar! I am beyond happy, it’s everything I’ve hoped for. Not only can you put lipstick prompts and different color eye shadow, but you can use some of the more feminine looking hair styles on the more masculine looking models is truly amazing! Same goes with facial hair on feminine models the option you can do that alone is spectacular! Both models can share hats, earrings, and glasses too! The clothing designs themselves are whimsical, fun, cute, and cool! And knowing that they could drop new online events in the future with new outfits are always something to look forward to. Another thing I have to praise is the amount of inclusivity we have at the start of the game with afro hair textures, facial features, and darker skin tones. It just goes to show how far we’ve come and I hope that the devs can push that further in future updates and installments.

The ability to have as many clothes as you want without storage limitations is always major plus! Currency being relegated to just creating clothes makes sense to me. Yes it’s gacha based when it comes to getting rare patterns, however simply pressing the ‘like’ button on someone’s avatar can give you the clothes they’re wearing is very helpful. Especially during online mode when other people and clothes on the pop up boards have rare items. And people online can send you cute outfits, even while your switch is in sleep mode! This also applies to the show rooms, it’s great to see new clothes and furniture people get. I also like that this is a game solely deticated to walking around instead of jumping through menus like some other fashion games I know. I am also in love with the fact you can take pictures anywhere, the scenery in some of these maps are a sight to behold! Taking pictures in the photo eggs are fun, especially since you have a nice variety of stickers, filters, and a line of focus to fiddle with along with poses and held items. And finally I think the best part about this game for me is the many muses to see and meet. Whether they are a player or NPC, there’s no shortage of possibilities when it comes to the many choices of fashion. It gives me so much inspiration, and since you can make multiple characters (4 total) you can relegate specific styles to each muse! (Or at least that’s what I did, lol)

Now to address the big elephant in the room, does this hold up as the spiritual successor to the Style Savvy / Style Boutique / Girls Mode games? In some ways, absolutely. If you want to collect / make clothes, design your own custom avatar, and see things other people make then you gotta get the game! However the core of Style Savvy is its lovable cast of NPCs and story set in the world of fashion. And while none of the NPCs you meet have a large narrative to tell, there are a few to me that stick out and I love dearly, even if they’re one dimensional. I let the headcanons fester and make the rules up as I go. The only major goal is to reach Master Rank and get your brand up to the highest level. I heard rumors through the grape vine that a fashion show mode could potentially be added? But that’s pure speculation as of writing this.

So my final overall thoughts; as I said in the beginning of this post, the game has a chokehold on me. It’s fun, entertaining, and full of passion for fashion from the dev team that brought us Style Savvy. It scratches an itch I’ve had since the last Style Savvy game. And while it has its ups and downs, I personally think this is a pretty solid game for the average fashion sim enjoyer outside of the gameplay troubles. Thanks for reading all the way through and if you want to follow my showcase, the code is on the top of this post! :3

(Just for making it this far, I made a promise post that I would make a fashion dreamer version of Dominic from Style Savvy so I’m reposting the pics here again.)

[dead-rabbit-comics]

consulted the books re:iridescence in woven fabrics

context for the books:

they are from 1905/1906, belonged to Albert A. Hasler and detail how to weave different kinds of silk fabrics. they belong to me now because they are big, heavy, not in great shape, most museums have better versions of it and my mother knows someone who knew someone and i weave. Period.

I am still confused about when a fabric is considered iridescent (though i think that confusion is solved when it is thought of as more of a scale than an either/or situation) and interestingly, the Zurich Silk Weaving School has things to say about it.

(Info in german/french i will put a short english conclusion but it is bedtime and i already transcribed this whole thing so u know)

"Taffetbindung

ist die einfachste und älteste bindung. sie wird durch kreuzung der geraden mit den ungeraden kettfäden hervorgebracht. von 2 kettfäden liegt der eine über dem ersten und unter dem zweiten schuss und der andere unter dem ersten und über dem zweiten schuss. die taffetbindung umfasst den kleinst möglichen fadenrapport; die fäden des einen systems überspringen stets nur einen faden des anderen systems, vollziehen somit die kürzeste bindung, wesshalb dem taffetgewebe am meisten festigkeit verliehen werden kann.

Bemerkung

Schwarzer Taffetas wird stets in tout cuit angefertigt und zwar gewöhnlich vom 22er - 33er Stich 3 oder 4 Fädig mit Gros du Rhin, schwerere mit Gros de Chine bezeichnet. Wird auf Glanz oder(durcgestrichen ?to) Geschmeidigkeit der Waare gesehen, so ist sie gut zu reiben. Um ihr mehr Glätte zu geben wird sie am fertigen Stück nochmals aufgerollt. (enrouliert) Schwarze Taffetas findet Verwendung zu Futter, Cravatten, Regenschirmen etc.

Taffetas caméléon wird in der Regel mit einer einfarbigen Kette und zweierlei Schuss von verschiedener Farbe hergestellt. Die beiden Schussfarben werden mittels eines zweizäpfle-Schiffchens zusammen in die gleiche Kettöffnung eingetragen, wobei die eine Farbe an der vordern, die andere an der hintern Wand des Schiffchens austritt. Da jede Schussfarbe im Kettfach stets die gleiche Stelle einnimmt d.h. immer entweder als erste oder als zweite Farbe ersehen, so herrscht in der einen Richtung die erste, und in der andern die zweite Farbe vor. Der Unterschied zwischen Glacés und Caméléon besteht somit darin, dass erstere nur eine Schussfarbe aufweisen, wogegen letztere in Zweischussfarben schillern."

I included the general information given about the Taffetas (because fun) but the bit i'm interested in is - who would've guessed - the description of "taffetas caméléon"

He describes a shuttle with two chambers for two colours of weft (the warp is a single colour) with one emerging from the back side of it, one from the front. using this shuttle to insert two differently coloured weft threads into the same shed gives the shimmering (iridescent) effect to the cloth. he describes either color being dominant depending on the angle you view it from. which makes sense if you have the threads emerging from both sides of the shuttle. they would lie next to each other in the same way in each pick.

but here's the frustrating thing: without sunlight and a magnifying glass i really really can't tell which two colours are supposed to coexist in the weft of that last sample! WHY!

(what i CAN tell is that the pink sample top left is woven with magenta warp and olive green weft and it's fucking gorgeous)

If any of my followers are Jewish, you must stop for a moment.

Something incredible is happening right now, of biblical proportions. It does not matter if you like, dislike, agree, or disagree with Israel and anything about us at the moment.

This day, a week before Tet Be Av, the day we remember the fall of Jerusalem, Arba Ribo Adam Ve- isha - Fourty Thousand Men and Women (and children), holding the white and blue flag have marched (began with 200 ppl) for 5 days from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. To scream and shout against the bills and the decisions the coalition is pushing forward.

Reservists en masse have declined to serve for the contract of the state and the serving civilian has been broken.

This march, already has been named a pilgrimage.

A pilgrimage to protect and defend The Home. For the secular Israeli Jew, this is the third attempt at a state of our own.

Any Jew around the world, take a sip of some red wine and prey SheHecheyanu, because

40,000 people have completed a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and the Regel (celebration) is Democracy.

#israel #jews in israel #the fight for democracy #the 40000 people march #pilgrimage #protests in israel

[standfucker]

The scorpion crew sounds so cool! As does the Storm pirates! Please talk about your OCs as much as you want, it’s so incredible that you’ve come up with so many amazing characters

I know I'm late to answering this ask, and the reason for that is because I was saving it for when I wanted to talk about an OC.

First of all, thank you so much, I'm super flattered that you think they are interesting! ^/////^

So right now I am going to talk about more Storm Pirates.

The Storm Pirates started out as a group of four: Ravi (the captain), Mel, Shen, and Alula (who I've talked about here once). They meet in a town's jail, where they're each detained for a different reason, and start talking to each other.

I'm going to focus on Shen for now.

Shen Haklavim, aka the "Skull Mask Swordsman"

Shen is a swordsman who uses two-sword style. She wears a wolf skull in order to hide her face so that opponents don't make a snap judgement on her based on gender.

She's butch, has a mohawk, and thinks she's short (she's 6 ft) because the rest of her family is all taller than her.

Shen carries six swords (three on each hip), using two at a time, and they are all paired blades meant to be wielded together.

Her swords are:

-Fell and Larka, the Day and Night blades (one's black, one's white) - these are her primary swords. -Benizakura and Musashi, the Land and Sea blades (one's red, one's blue) - old swords that are duller, but she's too attached to get rid of) -Amaroq and Miyax, the Parent and Child blades (one's gold, one's silver) - only busts these out for serious battles against other swordsmen.)

Shen loves weaponry, armor, and especially swords (she and Tashigi could talk for HOURS) as she comes from a blacksmithing family. Is a gigantic tomboy, very masculine, and dresses and acts as such. A bit "pure of heart, dumb of ass" sometimes, as she tends to act on feeling and instinct rather than thinking things through. Extremely loyal, but will put her own needs and wants above those of most people, and only really listens to the captain. Very physical in interacting with others and showing affection.

Shen's dream is to forge the world's strongest swords. Her father is a blacksmith, and she is the youngest of 7 children, with 6 older brothers. Her brothers learned to use weapons, but as the only girl, her father tried to keep her away from such things. But she wanted to be like her cool older brothers, so she went to them behind his back to learn to fight. Having once heard her father say that a great blacksmith must first understand the weapons they craft, and thus know how to use them, she seeks to become a great swordsman in order to truly understand her craft.

All of her brothers are both blacksmiths and warriors that specialize in a different weapon. The brothers in birth order, and the names of their signature weapons: Regel, first son - uses the spear, "Akela" Ein, second son - uses the katana, "Akame" Ozen, third son - uses the kama, "Kurojaki" Tofer, fourth son - uses the claws, "Tsume" Parva, fifth son - uses the axe, "Gabu" Zanav, sixth son - uses the flail, "Balto" (Her father uses the greatsword, "Fenris," and her mother uses the saw, "Moro".)

At the advice of Tofer (her favorite brother, and also the strongest of the brothers) she set out to find a master to instruct her in the ways of the sword. After traveling, Shen met and found her teacher, a swordsman known as "Urva the Mongoose". Urva's training was brutal, and particularly focused on speed, Urva's specialty.

Backstory happened (I can go into it if you're really interested o.o ) and Shen set out to follow her dream, traveling in order to fight strong opponents and become a better swordsman in order to become a better blacksmith.

Shen gets a reputation as a fearsome warrior who will challenge anyone carrying a sword, and gets her epithet before meeting the future Storm Pirates.

Shen gets detained for allegedly stabbing someone. She claims that the person "ran into her sword," but no one believes her--except Ravi, her future captain.

To close, Shen is a love letter to all the canine media I grew up with. Books, shows, movies, everything that shaped me is reflected in her character. All of her moves are named after canine media I loved growing up.

Her signature move is "Silver Fang", a spinning attack with both swords. She does a modified version of it called "White Fang."

Bonus: After meeting and fighting Zoro, they become friends/rivals. Zoro steals her move, Silver Fang, doing a three-sword style version of it he calls "Cerberus." (She, in turn, steals his move, Oni Giri, doing a two-sword style version of it that she calls "Hellhounder".)

Wozu Kontrafakturen?

1.

Um anfangen zu können. Immer dann, wenn irgendetwas anfängt, dann fängt auch Recht an. Anzufangen ist eine juristische Technik und eine juridische Technik, dazu gibt es ganze Bibliotheken zur Geschichte des Anfangens, wie zum Beispiel Karl-Heinz Ladeurs Der Anfang des westlichen Rechts, Fritz Schulz' Prinzipien des römischen Rechts, Jean-Pierre Vernants Die Entstehung des griechischen Denkens oder Cornelia Vismanns Aufsatz zur Macht des Anfangs, in dem es so schön heißt, alle gelungenen Gründungen kämen zweimal vor. Sie bezieht das auf römische Institutionen und weist darauf hin, dass sie einmal wie privat, wie niedrig, klein und wie schwach angefangen haben - und einmal wie staalich, wie hoch, groß und stark. Das heißt nicht, dass erst mit dem Staat der Anfang gelingt, denn von Anfang an ist der Anfang der ganze Anfang und das Gelungene ein mimetischer Zug, dessen Stationen Halbwertzeiten haben.

2.

Das, was an unserem Tun einen Anfang markieren kann ist eine feine und scharfe Linie, in der Antike nachlebt, zum Beispiel das pomerium. Die normative Kraft des Kontrafaktischen liegt durchaus in Formen, also in etwas, aber sie ist ein Zug, ein Regerlein. Die kommt kräftig und schwach vor. Besser wäre es darum, man würde vom normativen Zug des Kontrafaktischen sprechen.

Vom Scheiden ist ein Schmuggel, mit dem ich nachgeholt habe, was in Regel und Fiktion schief ging. Damals tauchte die Formulierung von der normativen Kraft des Kontrafaktischen selbst als Kontrafaktur, als Referenz zu Georg Jellinek auf. Bazon Brock verwendete die Methode, der verkehrt jede Formulierung, um ihre Spannung zu begreifen und zu verstehen, was jemand vermeiden wil.

Regel und Fiktion ist hmpf, fängt an, aber nicht als Buch. Am besten gefällt mir in dem Text eine kleine Liste mit 4 Stufen zur Geschichte und Kosmologie der Fiktion - und das Foto eines Fähnleins Genüsse Steinhauer. Man kann sagen, dass das Verfahren leicht umstritten war, aber mal wieder Glück gehabt. Ging durch. Right now it's only a notion, but I think I can get the money to make it into a concept, and later turn it into an idea. Die Kontrafaktur ist dann aber doch noch, 15 Jahre später, ein Buch geworden, mit dem ich was anfangen kann. Das Cover ist Carl Schmitt in Stützstrumpfarbe, darüber war ich auch besonders glücklich, obwohl ich dem Verlag erst die Farbe Rosa vorgeschlagen hatte. Das wollten sie nicht. Erst dachte ich, die würden sich nicht trauen, jetzt traue ich ihnen einfach und benenne die Farbe beim Namen. Vorbild war unter anderem Schmitts Ex captavitate salus, da hat der Verlag die gleiche stumpfe Pappe und das weiße Zopfornament verwendet. Ist der Inhalt des Buches Dezisionismus? Ja, aber umgekehrt würde ich sagen.

2.

Die Kontrafaktur hat einen doppelten Sinn: Sie ist die Fabrik, aus der heraus Texte und Bilder enstehen, als seien sie vorher nicht in der Welt gewesen. Der zweite Sinn meint die einzelne Produktion, wie etwa das Buch vom Scheiden. Bei der Anfertigung kommen Gelegenheiten und Gegebenheiten zusammen, etwas davon hält man wie in der Hand, der Rest kommt von alleine. Das Kontrafaktische kann des Fiktive oder das Artifizielle, das Künstliche oder Kunstvolle eines juristischen Textes genannt werden, andere Bezeichnungen sind auch möglich. Für einen Umgang mit dem Kontrafaktischen empfiehlt es sich, darauf zu achten, was ein Text kreuzt und was er austauscht. Kontrafakturen sind widerständig und insistierend, auch dem Autor, man hat den Einsatz nicht souverän in der Hand. Die Kontrafaktur zieht sich kapillar durch den ganzen Text, würde man sie Grundnorm nennen, wäre sie eine Tafel, auf der der gesamte Texte steht, und die damit nicht nur am Anfang des Textes vorkommt, sondern den ganzen Text durchzieht.

Das Buch ist schon alt. Inzwischen würde ich, wenn ich etwas zu Kulturtechnikforschung sagen möchte, die Bild- und Rechtswissenschaft ist, vom Scheiden, Schichten und Mustern sprechen. Die Techniken des Scheidens sind zum Beispiel allen logischen Operationen der Unterscheidung assoziiert, allen Verfahren und Stragien, etwas zu entscheiden zu bescheiden, oder zu verabschieden, etwas zu bescheiden, zu definieren, zu präzisieren oder etwas als Montage zu präsentieren. Juristen könnten mit dem Vokabalur fremdeln, o.k. so, so soll es sein, insoweit handelt es sich bei der Antrittsvorlesug von 2015 um eine formalistische Arbeit. Weil ich mich aber auch mit Geschichte und Stratifikaton befasse, müsste ich einen zweiten Band zum Schichten schreiben. Und weil ich mich mit Bildern, dabei unter anderem der magischen Rationalität, vaguen und voguem Assoziatione bei Warburg befasse, müsste es einen dritten Band zum Mustern geben. Ich würde bei Censoren anfangen, den Haruspizen, und bei Armin Nassehi aufhören.

3.

Man kann sich die Kontrafaktur als eine Linie und einen Zug vorstellen, als Tragendes und Trachtendes eines juristischen oder juridischen Objektes (zum Beispiel einer Norm, eines Textes oder eines Bildes). Die Kontrafaktur stellt das Objekt her und stellt es dar. Die Kontrafaktur lässt Texte nicht nur so schreiben, als seien sie bisher nicht geschrieben gewesen. Sie lässt Texte auch so schreiben, als sei alles in dem Text schon so in der Welt gewesen und würde nun nicht verrückt. Schreiben, als ob man abschriebe und abschreiben, als ob man schreibe: Diese Kreuzung und der Austausch ist der kontrafaktische Zug juristischer und juridischer Objekte. Das vergleiche ich mit Vismanns Texten zum Canceln. Ich vergleich das auch mit Ino Augsbergs Arbeiten zum Versäumen, mit Pottages Arbeiten zur Involution, zur Einfaltung - und sicher auch, Bingo!, mit Warburgs Gestellschieberei. Machen tun es alle, die genannten explizieren es aber deutlicher.

Die Kontrafaktur lässt sogar einen Text so schreiben, als käme nicht drin vor, was der Autor vermeiden will. So kommen zum Beispiel alle Arbeiten von Cornelia Vismann in den Medien des Rechts von Thomas Vesting vor, es sind aber Linien eingezogen, die den Text so stellen, als käme sie nicht drin vor. Wäre das Buch von Vismann später, die von Vesting früher erschienen, müsste man an beiden Büchern nichts ändern, die Kontrafaktur arbeitet auch so - und liesse den Text von Vismann so lesen, als dringe sie in Denkräume vor, wo Vestings Denken nicht vorkäme. Anders herum ist es auch so.

Die Kontrafakturen haben eine logische Geschichte, wissenschaftshistorisch sind sie zum Teil der Logik und Dialektik und der Paradoxie geworden. Sie haben aber überall Geschichte, nicht nur in der Logik. Sie kommen auch diagonal/durchgehend kantig, eckig, zügig oder schwillend vor, durchgehend winkelig und winkelnd. In der Graphik und der Choreopgraphie haben sie ein lange Geschichte, des pomerium ist ein Teil dieser Geschichte.

Lilac

Lilac -> funniest submissions?

There’s not been so many silly characters, since all mushroom characters are a bit silly, but the comments in the optional questions have been killer

There’s always the continued love for Stanley Spiritfarer

And also the person who used emojis for the picture portion of submissions for Danielle Barkstock and Moonshine Cybin. You’re so right and you live in my head now.

And these submissions for Captain Toad and Toadette

Also shout out to every person who submitted Regel from Undertale putting the mushroom dance lyrics as the “tell me about them” section. Each one of you did that.

I love everyone who’s written paragraphs about their blorbos they’re so fun to read and learn about all these silly little guys!

Revenge was a sweet dish to Silas. One he saught often and with enthusiasm. So, he waited patiently, watching Vlad as the day went on- until juuust the right moment.

As Vlad was pacing through the library, he'd feel strong arms slide around his waist- and a series of small, gentle kisses running up the side of his neck. The Orc chuckled, squeezing him as softly as he could.

"Te iubesc , Regele meu."

My, what a surprise this was. But a welcomed one. Oh, how the Dark Lord's chest rumbled as a lowly chuff escaped him, cold hands resting on his forearms as he chuckled at the feeling of Sila's warm lips upon his neck.

"— Doamne, ai exersat." He responded softly in his mother tongue, his cheek now nuzzling softly against his neck, purring loudly like a lion basking in the new day sun. "Te iubesc, lama mea puternică”.

Waking up earlier than the previous day, I made my way to the Old Town for breakfast. I found a cafe and ordered a Full English. One of my frustrations with Romania is that the food takes so long to come, and then when it arrives, it’s usually cold. This restaurant was a slight exception. Overall, in my opinion the food isn’t amazing in Bucharest.

I hiked north up Calea Victoriei admiring more grandiose buildings on my way. Eventually I arrived at Arcul de Triumf, a memorial similar in appearance to the one in Paris. This one was built to commemorate the fallen of WW2.

Like the one in Paris, this one is built on a roundabout. However unlike Paris, there isn’t an underpass meaning that you have to cross a busy intersection. The crossing took at least 5 minutes.

I arrived at Parcul Regele Mihai I. This great park had a lake and a Japanese Garden amongst other attractions. An added bonus was that some of the cherry blossoms were still in bloom.

I made my way back down the Calea Victoriei and stopped at the National Geology museum followed by the Museum of Natural History. This place was chaos, it was full of kids screaming with their parents rushing to take photos of the exhibitions. Nevertheless, it was a good museum.

My next stop was the National Museum of Romanian History. This was an interesting museum and educated me as to why Romanian, like Italian and French is a romantic language. It’s because Romania was under the Roman Empire for many years of course. It explains where the country gets its name and why the people seem are similar to Italians in their appearance and mannerisms.

In the Old Town I stopped for an apple pie and coffee before being drawn to Caru’ cu Bere for dinner, which is an old beer hall. The interior was very impressive.

I went to explore what was left of the old Jewish Quarter. It once spread from Unirii eastwards. The quarter was devastated by the holocaust, emigration to Israel and then demolished in the 1980s. There are a few remaining relics such as a theatre, holocaust museum and a few synagogues. Most of it has been replaced by communist flats which are now being replaced by modern flats which look like communist flats, and there are lots and lots of car parks. The area is slowly being regenerated though and it looks like it is becoming a business centre.

I explored the Old Town at night again. Being a Sunday there wasn’t much going on and a lot of the bars were closed. I was surprised because it is a capital city. After a few beers and a Gyros from a Greek restaurant I made my way back, this time without falling over.

The House of Ruin Excerpts: Justyna, Her Husbands, & Burning Letters

“I don’t agree with her,” Mikolaj said as he held out his other hand and Olaf passed him the next, flicking it open with his pretty letter opener. 

“She didn’t say it to be offensive, Miko. She’s only saying what she’s heard.” 

“Well maybe she should hear the truth!” He barked, but she knew his heart wasn’t in it. Sometimes Mikolaj just liked to kick around and be the defense. Still, Justyna pressed a finger to her lips. 

“You’ll wake Aleksy.” They’d only put him to bed an hour ago and he was fussy even if the fever had gone down. 

“Speaking of, have we thought about how we’re going to do this with him around?” Olaf gripped both arms of his chair. He looked almost regel in his smoking robe, legs still encased in his tall boots, mimicking her current posture and somehow pulling it off much better. “I know we gave him this room because we don’t like the idea of him falling down any stairs at night, but I don’t know how I feel about entertaining with our son in the next room.”

“We’ll put him upstairs on those nights.” 

“Or we’ll find someone to watch him.”

Olaf shook his head. “I don’t trust anybody else. And he’s so young, he might say something he shouldn’t.”

Mikolaj shrugged idly as his eyes scanned over the letter. “We’re not there yet. Wert believed you?”

“Well, I wasn’t completely lying.” Justyna sat up straighter, watching Olaf out of the corner of her eyes. He caught her, flashed a grin, and she looked away with blood rushing to her face. “He didn’t speak of his sister, though. Just had me sort some papers for his next lecture but I should have cause to move freely within Holst now.”

Professor Klaas Wert’s sister was Veerle Lauritsen. Wife of Governor Lauritsen. 

“No, why would he? You haven’t expressed an interest in politics and you shouldn’t. It’s too early.” 

Mikolaj frowned and she couldn’t tell if it was from what he was reading or if he didn’t agree with Olaf. “At least not to him. The sooner we start hovering around the senate the better. I want to go home.” 

Justyna pursed her lips. This was home. She liked their little narrow brick house. It had only been a few days, but it was nice to be around people again without the clock ticking behind her eyes, counting down to when they would have to vanish in the night in case people got suspicious. 

“What does the letter say?” Even so, it was always best not to poke at Mikolaj when he was feeling sensitive. His free hand was playing with the tasseled ends of the sash that kept his silk robe closed. His fingertips were blackened by ash, but she knew it wasn’t from the stove.

Mikolaj had—without her permission—converted the shed in the back for Ulra prayer use. It had become a sort of shrine with a blanket he’d woven and candles for burning and a jar she knew from one sniff was full of fungus and other hallucinogens. So he could talk to his ancestors.

Justyna respected his cultural practices of course, she just wished he would have asked. She’d wanted to start a garden and now she didn’t have a shed. 

He shook his head before crumpling the paper and throwing it into the stove. “Nothing important. It’s from Korneli.” He took a deep purposeful breath before saying Korneli’s name. A thing Justyna noticed often but never voiced. He always paused as if stopping himself from saying ‘brother’.

“He shouldn’t speak to me. How does he even have our address?” 

“I told him,” Olaf said simply as he shuffled through the other letters and slipped his opener under another wax seal. 

“Olaf!”

Justyna pressed her finger to her lips again. “Aleksy,” she hissed.

“We agreed. Family and friends will know we’re safe. Saints, Miko, would it kill you to write back to him? He’s helped us before and all he asks in return is to have a relationship with you.” 

Yes, apparently it would, because Mikolaj’s face turned bright red and his face curdled under a snarl. “Fuck off.” He turned swiftly despite just giving Olaf a dismissal and stomped towards the kitchen. “I’m going to speak to my mother.” 

Justyna waited to hear the door slam shut before she sighed. “I wish you two wouldn’t fight.”

Olaf’s expression turned soft. He let everything drop into his lap as he reached over and patted Justyna’s knee. “Oh, puppy, don’t you worry. That’s how we are. We’ll make up.” 

“Could you do it now?”

The skin around his eyes crinkled, the corners of his lips twitched. “No, dear. He needs space. He’ll go out and have visions about…” Olaf waved his hand around his head as his mouth opened and closed. It was up to speculation. “He’ll come back. You know how he is.”
