Six Sentence Sunday--The “Hurry Up and Write” edition
Tumblr media
Thank you so much for the tag, @queenrileyrose! If anyone else tagged me, my notifications are shit so please don’t think I am deliberately ignoring you.
I actually have active WIPs happening, so I do have something to share but would like to preface this by saying I am aware that given recent events there may be some folks who have unfollowed me and/or may want off my taglist. Just let me know via DM, and I will remove you. No hard feelings.
Below the cut are snippets from stories actively bubbling in the Fuck Wizard’s cauldrons. They will be a little longer given there are only two. Neither story has a song inspiration yet.
Please remember everything is in a state of draft, and final product may vary.
Body Count
The man was dressed casually in a fitted tee shirt, jeans, and Cordonian blue-colored sneakers. A baseball cap covered his hair, the brim tilted low against his forehead. His eyes were hidden behind mirrored Aviator sunglasses. He wasn’t worried about being recognized; the only two people to ever see him in an outfit such as this were his best friend and his wife.
He stopped at Custards & Cones, an ice-cream shop across the street from The Greek Fisherman, a restaurant offering traditional Cordonian and Greek fare where he had partaken of breakfast 20 minutes earlier. The cashier was chatty as she prepared him a double scoop of vanilla in a cake cone, but the man was reticent. He paid for his frozen treat, left a small tip in the glass jar on the counter, and wandered back outside.
He saw the Duchess of Valtoria exit the restaurant; she was smartly dressed in a snug khaki-colored linen pantsuit and black heels. Her hair, straight and sleek, dusted the tops of her shoulders and an Ana DeLuca black leather tote swung from her wrist. A cruel smirk curled his upper lip as he crossed the street, falling into step behind her.
The Duchess never noticed; her eyes went between her phone and shop windows as she headed to her appointment. Occasionally, she waved and smiled at her constituents. It was when she was stopped by a red stoplight at the intersection of Cordonian Ruby Boulevard and Crown Avenue that the man made his move.
The four-way intersection was devoid of pedestrians save for him, the Duchess, and a small group of teenagers whose faces were buried in their cellphones. Across the street was an inattentive shopkeeper sweeping their storefront.
He saw the crosstown bus barreling down the roadway, trying to beat the light. He silently counted along with the crosswalk timer, gauging the timing of the bus which was crossing against a yellow light. He stepped up closely, quietly behind the noblewoman.
“Hello, Hana.”
Startled, the Duchess whirled; recognition dawned in her eyes just as the man pushed her into the path of the oncoming bus, which was traveling far too fast to stop.
Kangaroo Court—A Dumblr Tale
The remaining guests around the table looked at each other, their expressions a mix of excitement and unease: On Liam’s side of the table sat Olivia, Neville, Penelope, Hana, Rashad, Gladys, and Kiara. Bertrand was the King’s legal representative.
On Riley’s side were Leo, Ezekiel, Maxwell, Drake, Savannah, Mara, and Miss Parsons. Madeleine was the Queen’s authorized representative.
The King’s Guardsman who was standing by the entrance door announced, “All rise for the Honorable Daniel Nagasaki and the Honorable Sharon Ambrose of the Cordonian Overseer Court,” as he opened the doors.
A tall thin man of Asian descent with graying dark hair and a shorter, slim black woman with braided hair entered, their black robes billowing about them. Everyone hastily rose to their feet, all but Riley looking around in confusion.
Two judges?
The male judiciary assisted his female counterpart up the few stairs to the dais before choosing to sit on the King’s throne; the female judge settled into Riley’s Barcalounger, popping the footrest to incline her feet.
Holding two squirming infants, Liam leaned over to whisper into Bertrand’s ear. The Duke frowned slightly as he reached into his vest pocket, retrieving a roll of mints which he offered to the King. Liam arched an eyebrow; Bertrand removed one of the blue-speckled discs and shoved it into his monarch’s mouth. The man’s breath reeked of coffee.
The twins watched the exchange with wide eyes before tiny honey-colored hands began reaching for the roll of candies; they whimpered seeing it disappear inside the vest pocket.
Riley glared at Liam and Bertrand before making funny faces at the babies.
“Lords, Ladies, Monarchs … what’s on the docket? And let’s make it quick, I have a 2pm tee time on the Isle,” Judge Nagasaki greeted.
Bertrand hastily stood. “Your Honor, my client and I are slightly confused as to why there are two of you presiding over today’s proceedings?”
Madeleine stood, brushing strands of blonde hair off her forehead. “This morning, it is Brooks versus Rys; Ms. Brooks, the plaintiff is suing the defendant, Mr. Rys for racial discrimination, non-payment of rent on leases at two of Ms. Brooks’ residences, alienation of affection, slander, and kidnapping. We seek $50 million US dollars in damages, and full custody of the children.
“Mr. Rys is countersuing for libel and alienation of affection. He seeks $100 million US dollars in damages.”
Madeleine fixed her gaze on Bertrand. “Ms. Brooks requested two judges to offer representation to both parties.”
She sat, watching curiously as Liam again murmured in his lawyer’s ear. Bertrand stood again. “Your Honors, my client requests a continuance as neither of the judges present accurately reflects his ethnicity. The King is of Korean descent, not Japanese.”

the annotated Tome of the Wild
Part five: Babes in the Wood!
- A half-moon the color of yellowed pages hung high in the sky above the figures on the ground OH LOOK IT’S THAT SAME DAMN MOON AGAIN. DESPITE THAT DAYS HAVE GONE BY AND IT DEFINITELY WOULDN’T LOOK THE SAME AT THIS POINT.
- “Idiot child. Perhaps I should've done something to make you more intelligent, instead of just transforming your body.” And here we have confirmation that it was Koume that changed her into this.
- Of course, the centerpiece of this scene is the reveal of what Midna’s been up to this whole time. In the show, the situation for Beatrice is similar: she thought that Adelaide just wanted a couple of kids to do household chores, and was fine with just turning them over to her in exchange for the item she needed to break her and her family’s curse. Until, of course, she grew to like them and have second thoughts, as Midna does here. Which of course lines up with how Midna initially thought to just use Link in TP to help herself and her people, until his actions and Zelda’s made her reconsider her disdain for the people of the world of light. Here it’s her bond with Aryll and Link that makes her hesitate to hand them over: she really likes Aryll, and after a rough start with Link they’re now getting along, and she feels a lot of sympathy for his situation with Mipha. She doesn’t want to keep them from getting home even for a little while, and when she finds out about Koume’s true intentions she draws the line, as her moral code won’t let her hurt others for her own sake and she knows Zelda wouldn’t want her to hurt anyone on her behalf either. This conflict and growth are exactly why I had an easy time casting Midna in this role, and I loved being able to write her and develop the dynamics she has with Link and Aryll.
- “Only the voice of the shadow that lurks in the woods, the king of darkness that rules the night, concerns me...” King of Darkness is one of Ganon’s titles in the series.
- “There is only his way.” A line that will be echoed by the Beast himself much later.
- “Aryll, I know!” Link froze as soon as the words were out of his mouth. We’re at the point where Link is snapping at his beloved baby sister, showing just how stressed out he is right now. He was able to relax more when Midna was around, but now her betrayal is driving him further along that path to despair I’ve been mentioning. He immediately apologizes, to his credit, but he’s still starting to crack.
- “You are in grave peril, and your fate, your very lives depend on if you heed my words or not! The Beast stalks you, seeking your fall into his grasp... but you must not allow him to capture you, you must not give in to despair!” He’s not wrong! Listen to him!
- The shadow laughed, a long, low sound that seemed to ooze up from the deepest depths of the earth where eldritch creatures slumbered, forgotten by time and the gods alike. Calamity Ganon emerges from deep beneath Hyrule Castle.
- “You forget, do you not, that your daughter's safety depends upon keeping me happy?” The first hint of the deception that the Beast is working on Rhoam.
- Aryll is now calling her frog Alfonzo, after the engineer in Spirit Tracks.
- AND THEN THERE’S NAYRU AND KOTAKE. This was one of the most FUN things I got to play with. The episode this portion is an adaptation of is probably my favorite in the show, and I had an utter blast toying with expectations here just as the show did. Maybe even more! The show leads you to believe that the character Kotake replaces is the sinister and evil one, preying on the hapless young girl that Nayru is replacing, only to yank the rug out from under you and reveal that the girl is possessed and trying to eat the brothers.
now, Nayru is from Oracle of Ages. You meet her at the beginning, whereupon she quickly becomes possessed by the evil sorceress Veran. Kotake, meanwhile, is present as a villain in OOT and a linked Oracle game, and as a friendly shopkeeper in Majora’s Mask. We just saw the villainous version of her sister at the beginning of this chapter. So... is she evil too? If you’ve never seen the show, have played OOT and MM but not the Oracle games, you probably got taken in just like a first time viewer of the show is. Only to find out too late, as does Link, that Nayru is the people-eating one, and not Kotake, who is indeed her MM self and not evil.
- Nayru laughed too, a pleasant sound reminiscent of harp strings being played. Nayru gives Link the Harp of Ages in OOA.
- Aryll has switched the frog’s name to Dr. Calip, after the NPC in BOTW who gives you the Cursed Statue shrine quest.
- “It is thanks to you that I shall finally be free to roam the outside world, after all.” DANGER DANGER, the evil spirit wants to roam free and EAT MORE PEOPLE.
- Aryll spots the danger, but mistakes it for her desire to see Link end up with Mipha and no one else. Which we all agree with, of course, but it’s not the real reason she’s uncomfortable. Link, meanwhile, is oblivious to it, at least partially because he’s sinking deeper into despair and contemplating just letting Mipha go out of his intensifying self-hatred over what he’s done to her.
- Nayru's eager whisper broke into his thoughts. He glanced up and saw her eyes gleaming with a sort of hunger as she gazed across the room at him. DANGER DANGER, SHE WANTS TO DEVOUR YOU. Again, I choose my descriptive words very deliberately.
- Eerie purple light glowed around Nayru as she hovered in the air, and her face had been twisted into something that resembled a ReDead mask. Veran’s spirit form is indeed purple, and nobody who’s ever played OOT, MM, or WW can forget the ReDeads. my favorite monster I want them back dammit
- “Link?” Aryll pressed herself against his side and clutched at his arm. “There are a lot of skeletons in here...” Remember how Aryll was so excited about digging up a single skeleton back in Ikana? Not so fun anymore.
- In the show, the whole sequence of trying to avoid being eaten was creepy, but a bit more comedic too. I leaned fully into the horror that it truly would be here, not just because I wanted to write something scary, but also because I needed something that would traumatize Link enough to push him into the breakdown he has in the woods afterwards, setting the climax of the story in motion. His feelings of failure mirror what I headcanon he must’ve been going through just before he fell in Blatchery Plain as well, the despair he would’ve felt over being unable to prevent the fall of the kingdom, the deaths of his friends (especially Mipha, who he’s grieving the most), and knowing that he’s at his limit and about to die before he can get Zelda to safety. Which is another way that the appearance of that painting in the last chapter ties in.
- Aryll’s dream sequence! OH BOY. In the show, this is an entire episode, done in the style of 1930s animation, with musical numbers and everything. That doesn’t quite translate to prose, though, so I had to change and abridge it. More interestingly, though, there’s subtle hints in the show that the dream is not real, and is intended to lure Greg, the younger brother, into the clutches of the Beast. I decided to run with that. One of the hints in the show is that the gates you see seem to be made of ivory; in Greek myth, dreams pass through one of two gates, either horn or ivory. True dreams come through the gates of horn, while false ones pass through the gates of ivory. So naturally Aryll walks through gates of ivory to reach the tower.
The tower itself is the one located in the Cloud Tops in Minish Cap. Which, here, is ruled by Princess Hilda from Link Between Worlds, who has Aryll save her kingdom from the evil Yuga. This is all a HUGE hint that this is false, a trap. Because in ALBW, Hilda was conspiring with Yuga in a desperate bid to save Lorule. And who took over Yuga’s body as part of that plan? Ganon. BAM.
- And now the frog is being called Ezlo, after the talking cap in Minish Cap.
- Link is now so deeply in despair that the dekuwood is starting to grow around him, which is what motivates Aryll to make her deal with the Beast that brings everything to its eventual conclusion.
- A dark shape emerged from the curtain of snow; it was a small, plump man with a beard that covered the entire lower half of his face, rowing a rickety little boat. His eyebrows went up as he took in the sight of Midna lifting the unconscious Link into the air with her prehensile hair. “That is one strange fish you've caught there, missy...” This is the fisherman from Link’s Awakening.
- What Midna sees in the distance is the Great Deku Tree, but I wasn’t about to reveal that just yet.
and that does it for part five!

If you were born in a hospital you have some of the deepest rooted trauma possible unless you have resolved it already. This post is going to touch on how a dimension of fear and Roman joinder was created via trauma, then the lighter side will be at the end. Pretty dark but it ends lightly with a means to remedy. We signed up for this experience. So back to the main point and intro. If you were born in a hospital you have some of the deepest rooted trauma possible unless you have resolved it already. This trauma goes unnoticed because it's all we have known in this life-time given it happened right when we were born so it generally remains subconscious until we become aware of it. If you were born in a hospital, Mom birthed you while laying down which is an unnatural position for birthing and works against gravity so you were born fighting gravity in a sense. Then you were subject to dissonant bright artificial lighting and first held in the hands of a person who you would never be held by again after that day (mixed feelings of abandonment). The umbilical cord (cord to vital nutrients from the womb) was prematurely cut (stripped from your first physical source of life force). Then your first step was onto a piece of paper, a monetized bond footing you onto the 2-dimensional realm of Roman pap-al pap-er work, maritime-admiralty law (birthed ship/vessel). Then if you were a male (in rarer cases, a female) you were mutilated (circumcision). So right out of the gate you have mutilation, corporate joinder to a Roman death-cult, being robbed of vital nutrients, fighting gravity and going from a dark womb to artificial bright lights all as a part of the most prime time of the very formative years (from birth to 6 or 7 years old) that will subconsciously steer your habits, impulses, emotions, physical sensations and mental pains until they are resolved. Let me say that again just to condense it. Your first impression of this world was being robbed, abandoned, mutilated, forced to fight gravity, practically blinded y artificial light binded to a Roman death cult and monetized. Warm welcoming huh? The placenta (mitochondrial/feminine DNA) in modern times isn't allowed to go home with the family in most cases due to it being a "toxic waste hazard." Nobody really knows what happens to it though it's assumed that it gets disposed of. Lets just say that sympathetic resonance via DNA can be used as sorcery until one breaks that bond with their intent by becoming aware and consciously revoking it. And lets just say that the Roman Catholic church that the birth certificates/bonds are under the jurisdiction of (Holy See of Rome) has been referred to as a female just as every maritime vessel is referred to as a female, female name. And that the definition of "born alive" in Black's Law dictionary (written as a a facet of Roman maritime-admiralty law). Before reading this definition note that legality and law aren't synonymous. Law is based on morality or universal principals of nature where as legality is based on the arbitrary ideologies of man, usually for the sake of monetary gain. The legal (yet unlawful) definition of "born alive" is as follows: "The complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut, and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section, or induced abortion.” The placenta fits the definition of "born alive." So a legally living expulsion from the mother was handed over to the state, as a ward to the state which is under the ruling/jurisdiction of the Roman papacy still, given Unam Sanctam was never abolished, so the placenta is legally a ward to the state, and when the living being identifies as the corporatized all caps name they are identifying with the placenta/afterbirth/vessel that is under the jurisdiction of Rome via mitochondrial DNA-based quantum entanglement to that placenta/vessel. The all caps legal name that was monetized (AKA the strawman) isn't you. You could never be a name anyways, and all caps lettering implies corporatization and death (all caps on a tombstone). Corp or corpse means "body," stemming from the Latin word "corpus." It in no way addresses a soul and is a degradation of status. A form of tacit agreement or presumptive agreement that opens the door to you signing up for your experience of free will to be somewhat lessened until you revoke this with your intent. Unam Sanctam was a papal bull (bull=Baal=child sacrifice) that was implemented on November 18 in 1302 by Pope Boniface VIII which essentially stated that every human “creature” is to be subject to the Roman pontiff/pope. Meaning every human that identifies as a non-living being is to be subject to Rome via maritime-admiralty law. This was the most bold papal edict, they claimed to have rulership over the world and ecclesiastically justified it as them taking on the role of Saint Peter (the fisherman, maritime law, fishers of men) as he was entrusted humanity by God. Unam Sanctam was the world’s first express trust. Note that just short of 5 years later on October 13th (Friday the 13th) of 1307 the Knights Templar (original creators of trust law/banking) were rounded up on orders of Pope Clement V and King Philip IV of France. So the rise of this system of Roman-corporate debt slavery and joinder was/is relative to the time that the Templar order was rounded up and tortured until falsely admitting heresy then killed, though some Templars slid through the cracks of persecution and went underground to carry on their work which has echoed through history til this very day. I’d like to point out as a sidetone that the modern day King of Spain (King Felipe VI) is of the same bloodline (House of Bourbon) as King Phillip IV of France, the one who called for the Templars to be rounded up, and that he just recently (about a week or so ago) renounced his father’s wealth which I take to be another indicator that these trusts are being turned back over for the sake of Jubilee during this time where the dimension we call Babylon or Rome, is crumbling and justice is being brought forth. The bondage to Unam Sanctam is being broken globally. Unam Sanctam means “one sanctuary” or “one holy place” which is essentially by way of their intention, a one world government of complete dominion. Below is the edict, Unam Sanctam. "Urged by faith, we are obliged to believe and to maintain that the Church is one, holy, catholic, and also apostolic. We believe in her firmly and we confess with simplicity that outside of her there is neither salvation nor the remission of sins, as the Spouse in the Canticles [Sgs 6:8] proclaims: ‘One is my dove, my perfect one. She is the only one, the chosen of her who bore her,‘ and she represents one sole mystical body whose Head is Christ and the head of Christ is God [1 Cor 11:3]. In her then is one Lord, one faith, one baptism [Eph 4:5]. There had been at the time of the deluge only one ark of Noah, prefiguring the one Church, which ark, having been finished to a single cubit, had only one pilot and guide, i.e., Noah, and we read that, outside of this ark, all that subsisted on the earth was destroyed. We venerate this Church as one, the Lord having said by the mouth of the prophet: ‘Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword and my only one from the hand of the dog.’ [Ps 21:20] He has prayed for his soul, that is for himself, heart and body; and this body, that is to say, the Church, He has called one because of the unity of the Spouse, of the faith, of the sacraments, and of the charity of the Church. This is the tunic of the Lord, the seamless tunic, which was not rent but which was cast by lot [Jn 19:23- 24]. Therefore, of the one and only Church there is one body and one head, not two heads like a monster; that is, Christ and the Vicar of Christ, Peter and the successor of Peter, since the Lord speaking to Peter Himself said: ‘Feed my sheep‘ [Jn 21:17], meaning, my sheep in general, not these, nor those in particular, whence we understand that He entrusted all to him [Peter]. Therefore, if the Greeks or others should say that they are not confided to Peter and to his successors, they must confess not being the sheep of Christ, since Our Lord says in John ‘there is one sheepfold and one shepherd.’ We are informed by the texts of the gospels that in this Church and in its power are two swords; namely, the spiritual and the temporal. For when the Apostles say: ‘Behold, here are two swords‘ [Lk 22:38] that is to say, in the Church, since the Apostles were speaking, the Lord did not reply that there were too many, but sufficient. Certainly the one who denies that the temporal sword is in the power of Peter has not listened well to the word of the Lord commanding: ‘Put up thy sword into thy scabbard‘ [Mt 26:52]. Both, therefore, are in the power of the Church, that is to say, the spiritual and the material sword, but the former is to be administered for the Church but the latter by the Church; the former in the hands of the priest; the latter by the hands of kings and soldiers, but at the will and sufferance of the priest. However, one sword ought to be subordinated to the other and temporal authority, subjected to spiritual power. For since the Apostle said: ‘There is no power except from God and the things that are, are ordained of God‘ [Rom 13:1-2], but they would not be ordained if one sword were not subordinated to the other and if the inferior one, as it were, were not led upwards by the other. For, according to the Blessed Dionysius, it is a law of the divinity that the lowest things reach the highest place by intermediaries. Then, according to the order of the universe, all things are not led back to order equally and immediately, but the lowest by the intermediary, and the inferior by the superior. Hence we must recognize the more clearly that spiritual power surpasses in dignity and in nobility any temporal power whatever, as spiritual things surpass the temporal. This we see very clearly also by the payment, benediction, and consecration of the tithes, but the acceptance of power itself and by the government even of things. For with truth as our witness, it belongs to spiritual power to establish the terrestrial power and to pass judgement if it has not been good. Thus is accomplished the prophecy of Jeremias concerning the Church and the ecclesiastical power: ‘Behold to-day I have placed you over nations, and over kingdoms‘ and the rest. Therefore, if the terrestrial power err, it will be judged by the spiritual power; but if a minor spiritual power err, it will be judged by a superior spiritual power; but if the highest power of all err, it can be judged only by God, and not by man, according to the testimony of the Apostle: ‘The spiritual man judgeth of all things and he himself is judged by no man‘ [1 Cor 2:15]. This authority, however, (though it has been given to man and is exercised by man), is not human but rather divine, granted to Peter by a divine word and reaffirmed to him (Peter) and his successors by the One Whom Peter confessed, the Lord saying to Peter himself, ‘Whatsoever you shall bind on earth, shall be bound also in Heaven‘ etc., [Mt 16:19]. Therefore whoever resists this power thus ordained by God, resists the ordinance of God [Rom 13:2], unless he invent like Manicheus two beginnings, which is false and judged by us heretical, since according to the testimony of Moses, it is not in the beginnings but in the beginning that God created heaven and earth [Gen 1:1]. Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff." Catch that part at the end, "Manicheus." Manichaeism is a religion based on the view that there's a struggle between the spiritual realm and the material realm. With that being said it states all who resist their power resist God "unless he invent like Manicheus two beginnings, one which is false and judged by us heretical." Meaning they think joinder to the strawman/corpus/body identification is the only way to not be fully subject to them and still have a shot at being accepted by God. Pretty much like you're a direct slave of theirs if you want salvation but the only exception is if you settle for indentured servitude or willful slavery through the all caps corporatized named that diminishes status anyways. Pope Boniface VIII was the one who exiled Dante in Virgil’s story “Dante’s Inferno” where Dante condemned Pope Boniface VIII to the pits of hell. One can safely say Dante’s Inferno was about the Roman jurisdiction Virgil knew was rising more and more throughout the land. The literal hell on earth being made manifest. Now rewind this all back to the beginning of the post. The traumatic way anyone born in a hospital (structure of the corrupted versions of the Knights of Malta aka Knights Hospitaller) has been born into emend trauma and bondage. Where’s the resolve? Where’s the silver lining? The glimmer of hope? It’s in our ability to make a choice. To face our shadow head on. To resolve the trauma which has plagued the mind, emotions and body, focally the amygdala, the throat, the naval, and the psoas muscle and has kept us predominantly centered in the fight-or-flight mode we now know of as the sympathetic nervous system. When we are in the opposite setting, which is self-restoration mode, also known as the parasympathetic nervous system, grounding, centeredness, decalcification, chakra alignment, and everything else one strives to keep maintenance on spiritually becomes more and more of a default setting. Automatic. But if we are still predominantly centered in fight-or-flight mode The vagus nerve carries the “love molecule” known as oxytocin, which is a molecule that the body naturally releases which acts as the switch out of this fight-or-flight trauma mode. 528 hz has been proven to cause the body to release significant amounts of oxytocin and decrease cortisol levels, cortisol being part of the fight-or-flight response. Alpha and theta brainwave entrainment (binaural beats, monaural beats and isochronic tones set to alpha or theta) can also bring the body back to self-restoration mode and out of fight-or-flight. So can breathing with longer exhales than inhales, or simply walking in nature. Or being barefoot in grass. Even taking a cold shower is said to activate the vagus nerve, the nerve that releases oxytocin in order to cause this switch over out of fear mode. Magnesium and potassium are good for activating the parasympathetic nervous system (opposite of fear mode) and psilocybin mushrooms and the amanita muscaria mushroom (neither of which I recommend to just anyone) can help facilitate this state of well being. Of course meditation in general can too. The work of T.D. Lingo is a great avenue of research in regards to causing the amygdala to fire towards the frontal lobe instead of back towards the reptilian brainstem. Yoga based around stretching the psoas muscle (muscle of the soul) can do wonders as well when it comes to switching out of the fear-based state of being that we are entangled to this Roman-construct through. The joinder, beyond the paper work and filing UCC-1 and receiving certificate of live birth etc. hinges focally on trauma. If the trauma remains then the joinder to Roman-commerce remains given it is literally, literally, a dimension of fear and agony. With knowledge comes more of an ability to make a choice and not be ruled by our presumptive agreements or our subconscious contracts. At base-level, all other traumas aside, if we were born in a hospital and have never worked on resolving the trauma that came with that then chances are, we are more centered in fight-or-flight Roman jurisdiction/dimension more than we realize. It’s all relativity. An example of that being, wonder bread would taste amazing if you were fed nothing but raw wheat. But wonder bread isn’t really all that amazing. Meaning, our high points or happy points in life might seem great but if fight-or flight is all we have known then how great could it really be until we resolve the trauma we signed up for as earthly initiation? Indoctrinated into density. We were handed lead to make gold out of so to speak. Perhaps the one way ticket to resolving this is truly embodying the realization that we are not trauma that we have endured. We only feel the effects and need to resolve to trauma if we think we are the trauma. If we are striving to heal ourselves yet we know the self is not just trauma then perhaps that realization is more than half of the resolve. We experience whatever we identify with from one degree to another.  - Trevor McGrath

Today’s Catch: Greek Fisherman Hats
If there ever was an accessory or item of clothing more controversial or polarized than a hat, I’d like to know about it. From berets and beanies to  floppy hats and fedoras, you either love ‘em or loath em’. I myself have always wanted to be a hat person, and given that subset of people exists i believes proves my point. 
Whether you want to call it the Greek Fisherman hat, Baker Boy, Cadet, or Newsboy Cap, there’s no denying this 90′s-inspired headpiece has resurfaced and stolen the spotlight this season. 
Seen on practically every street style mogul and going 2-for-2 with the Hadid sisters, I couldn’t help but dig up my very own Baker Boy that’s been in heavy winter storage hibernation since roughly 2009.

I loved the unexpected ivory tint and wool material of this cap and styled it with an array of contrasting earth tones and darks to really feature the trend as a statement.

I layered this ultra-cozy checkered cape over my stone-colored Zara turtleneck and went neutral on the lower half with a pair of black skinny jeans and over-the-knee boots I recently picked up at TJ Maxx. To tie the look together, I opted for my cranberry crossbody with gold detailing that I also got from TJ Maxx (for under $20!).
