Just listened to @spiritspodcast episode 361 “Astrology and Shakespeare” where Amanda, Julia and guest Kelly Downes talk about the torch imagery that is prevalent in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”.

I wonder if that is where the phrase “holding a torch for someone” comes from them? Or maybe Shakespeare added that imagery because of the (pre-existing) phrase?

So much fun at Comic Con in Brussels this year. Great decorations and stands everywhere. Love that fandoms are expanding and new ones are joining in. Met many enthusiastic people and loved all the wordplay and subtle references on the gifts and souvenirs.

Friend and I were stopped several times by people wanting to tell us they loved our cosplay. *blushing* so appreciated!! And we did the same back, as we saw some great costumes by other fans and visitors. Nerdvana!

Something I love about my ADHD:

When I’m in hyperfocus-mode about, say, a TV show. I will want to know everything about it. I will rewatch it time and time again. I will read the dan theories, consume all the memes, and go back to rewatching.

I don’t get bored of the rewatching, because all the memes and theories give me new ways of watching, new things to focus on.

And also, I will see new things every time because my ADHD rarely allows me to give my 100% attention to what I’m watching. So I’m also literally seeing new things each time.

Almost fell down the stairs this morning seeing this.

Then I realised it’s not a big spider…

Just Malfoy flying around 🤦‍♀️.

How much trouble can one get into just for asking a few questions?

I’m on a Neil Gaiman kick right now.

After screaming, squealing, laughing and shedding a tear at the second season of Good Omens.

I’m now rewatching The Sandman again. (Can’t wait for that second season!!)

After this, I will be rewatching the first season of Good Omens. And then watching the second season again.

Who’s with me?

Sidenote: I got to watch GO S2 completely spoiler-free thank god. Avoided most of the Internet between launch and watching to be sure. Cause I was quite upset having the last season of Supernatural spoiled for me :(

Aartsengel Uriël, “licht van God”, helpt mensen hun levensvisie te vinden. Zijn kracht is structuur en stabiliteit te brengen zodat mensen kunnen leven in liefde, rust en vrede. Zijn licht kan orde scheppen in een ogenschijnlijke chaos en helpen keuzes te maken vanuit liefde.

Roep met deze tekst de aartsengel Michaël op. Hij heeft als taak negativiteit weg te halen. Met zijn blauwe mantel om je heen weet je je beschermd tegen negatieve energie, daden en emoties en anderen.

You want weapons? We're in a library. Books are the best weapon in the world. This room's the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself!

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt, It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills, It comes first and follows after, Ends life, kills laughter

Sometimes, friends drift in and out of our lives like fashion accessories - in one season and out the next.

Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age The child is grown, and puts away childish things. Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies!

English Pronunciation - by G. Nolst Trenité

Dearest creeature in creation, Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.

I will keep you, Suzy, busy, Make your head with heat grow dizzy. Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I! O hear my prayer.

Just compare heart, beard, and heard, Dies and diet, lord and word, Sword and sward, retain and britain. (Mind the latter, how it's written.)

Now I surely will not plague you With such words as plaque and ague. But be careful how you speak: Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;

Cloven, oven, how and low, Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe. Hear me say, devoid of tricerky, Dauchter, laughter, and Terspichore,

Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles, Exiles, similes, and reviles; Scholar, vicar, and cigar, Solar, mica, war and far;

One, anemone, Balmoral, Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel; Gertrude, German, wind and mind, Scene, Melpomene, mankind.

Billet does not rhyme with ballet, Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet. Blood and flood are not like food, Nor is mould like should and would.

Viscous, viscount, load and broad, Toward, to forward, to reward. And your pronunciation's OK When you correctly say croquet,

Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve, Friend and fiend, alive and live. Ivy, privvy, famous; clamour And enamour rhyme with hammer.

River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb, Doll and roll and some and home. Stranger does not rhyme with anger, Neither does devour with clangour.

Souls but foul, haunt but aunt, Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant, Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger, And then singer, ginger, linger,

Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge, Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age. Query does not rhyme with very, Nor does fury sound like bury.

Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth. Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath. Though the differences seem little, We say actual but victual.

Refer does not rhyme with deafer. Feoffer does, and zephyr, heifer. Mint, pint, senate and sedate; Dull, bull, and George ate late.

Scenic, Arabic, Pacific, Science, conscience, scientific. Liberty, library, heave and heaven, Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.

We say hallowed, but allowed, People, leopard, towed, but vowed. Mark the differences, moreover, Between mover, cover, clover:

Leeches, breeches, wise, precise, Chalice, but police and lice; Camel, constable, unstable, Principle, disciple, label.

Petal, panel, and canal, Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal. Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair, Senator, spectator, mayor.

Tour, but our and succour, four. Gas, alas, and Arkansas. Sea, idea, Korea, area Psalm, Maria, but malaria.

Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean. Doctrine, turpentine, marine. Compare alien with Italian, Dandelion and battalion.

Sally with ally, yea, ye, Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key. Say aver, but ever, fever, Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.

Heron, granary, canary. Crevice and device and aerie. Face, but preface, not efface. Phlegm, phlegmaticc, ass, glass, bass.

Large, but target, gin, give, verging, Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging. Ear, but earn and wear and tear Do not rhyme with here but ere.

Seven is right, but so is even, Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen, Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk, Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.

Pronunciation (think of Pshyche!) Is a paling stout and spikey? Won't it make you lose your wits, Writing groats and saying grits?

It's a dark abyss or tunnel: Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale, Islington and Isle of Wright, Housewife, verdict and indict.

Finally, which rhymes with enough, Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough? Hiccough has the sound of cup. My advice is to give up!!
