XXIV. Rome, New Rome, the Third Rome, and Stalin

XXV. Mithraism, Christianity, Stalin and the Antichrist

The idea that most of the people around the world have about Stalin is entirely false. This is due to the fact that atheists, materialists, Marxists-Leninists, liberal socialists, socialist-democrats, evolutionists and all the trash of Anglo-Saxon and Ashkenazi Khazarian pseudo-intellectuals and bogus-academics have first perceived, then interpreted, and last analyzed/presented Stalin and his historical role through the most erroneous, Trotskyist misunderstanding/distortion of the Georgian-origin Soviet statesman. But Stalin was an unconditional transcendentalist and a remarkable mystic.

Mithraic Tauroctony from a Mithraeum in Syria (currently in the Israel museum in Jerusalem): a mythical-religious topic early conceived by evil forces as purely eschatological symbolism

Human sacrifice: dead bodies wait for cremation in Dresden after the bombardment of the 'Allied' forces.

I. The erroneous perception of Stalin among most people today

According to this irrelevant story, Stalin (1878-1953) was a resolute materialist, a convinced Darwinist, a devoted Marxist-Leninist, and a heartless dictator who decimated entire nations, before purging the old guard of Communist-Bolshevik partisans, relocating populations, and sending millions to jail. There is only little truth in all this. In fact, Stalin was as realist as Kemal Ataturk; he therefore had to appear to others in the way he did in order to succeed Lenin and eliminate Trotsky. Many may agree with the last sentence, stating that this is part of the well-known History.

But there is also the 'Other History'; the one that is unknown, because it did not happen. This is, in other words, the negative reflection of the reality. All the same, because this 'other' or 'unknown' History did not happen, this does not mean that it was not attempted. And indeed many secret and known organizations and 'societies' tried to prepare several developments which finally did not occur. It is essential for a true Historian to know well these failed attempts; in fact, he only then understands History as the Absolute Sphere that contains the outcome of all the desires, feelings, thoughts and attempts of the humans.

Been a hot minute since I’ve posted anything here that isn’t a reblog of something else. I want to get back into writing in a big way and I figured this could be a creative outlet. So, introductory time. I have a lot of OCs. Mostly OCs for a story I’ve been working on for *ages*, but figured I’d start with OCs that I actually have some images of. These lovelies are my characters from Final Fantasy XIV and I will gladly take any sort of questions about them. I will also make longer intro posts for each character later, but here’s the quick and dirty. Talori - My Warrior of Light (WoL) and main character of the trio. She’s not from Eorzea. She’s a Mithra Dragoon who was torn from her home world of Vana’diel (FFXI) and brought to Eorzea. She was protected by her pact with Odin at the price of her memories, the mark of which is painted on her in purple, and arrives on Eorzea with complete amnesia. Found by the pirates of Summerford Farm in La Noscea, she was nursed back to health and started her new life in Limsa Lominsa, taking an interest in the Arcanist guild. Razna - Formerly Loija of the Rava Viera of the Golmore Jungle, he was exiled from his home for his sexuality and what was seen by his family as his refusal to do his duty to his village by mating with a female. Covered in the scars given to him by his family that he hides beneath his tattoos, Razna found a new home as a solo hunter and protector in the Twelveswood. He lived there on his own for many years before Romidiant crashed, quite literally, into his life. Razna is well known and well respected by the Woodwailers of Gridania. Romidiant - Like Talori, he does not come from Eorzea, but Vana’diel. An Elvaan Paladin and the bond mate of Talori, Romidiant was separated from her when the pair, along with Talori’s wyvern partner, Soryu, were ripped away from Vana’diel to Eorzea. Unlike his mate, Romidiant had no protection when he landed in the Twelveswood and the trip nearly killed him. He was found in time by Razna and nursed back to health in Gridania. Romidiant retains all of his memories and after his recovery spent his time looking for his smol cat wife, chasing rumors of her passing across Eorzea.

Sea Rover Squama — A Teensy-Weensy Pirate Battle!

CENTRAL

Oz SS: Do not presume to think that you could beat me on these seas. S: …Could the Goddess of the Sea be displeased, I wonder? A: (All the things I have done… I can never speak of them to that child.)

Arthur SS: Hooray! I shall be sure never to forget how happy this has made me. S: I suppose this proves I still have much left to learn. I shall ask Cain to teach me some new tricks. A: (As lacking as I am now, I’ll never be able to meet him again at his level…)

Cain SS: All right! C’mon, let’s celebrate our victory with a feast! Time to let loose and party! S: Guess I gotta report this to Arthu… No, I mean– to the captain. A: (Damn… How am I supposed to give that guy his eye back like this…)

Riquet SS: So I have taken the righteous path after all, just as I thought. S: I am not yet as capable of protecting others as I had hoped. A: (Uuu… Did I not study enough beforehand, perhaps…)

NORTH

Snow SS: ‘Tis I, Snow – one half of the strongest pair of twins! Now, here I come! S: Hohoho. You are a hundred years too young to win against the likes of me. A: (Oh dear… Will White scold me for this, I wonder…)

White SS: ‘Tis I, White – one half of the strongest pair of twins! Now, here I come! S: You mistook me for a student, you say? How unfortunate! As you can now see, I am actually a lieutenant commander. A: (Oh dear… Would Snow have scolded me for this, I wonder…)

Mithra SS: Haha, as expected. Everything within this ocean is mine, after all. S: Good enough. Now then, I shall be taking my nap. A: (Hah? Does this person want to die, I wonder?)

Owen SS: That’s right, run away. And don’t you ever think about invading my territory again. S: Alright, now it’s snack time. A: (Haha… So you want me to make this your watery grave, is that it?)

Bradley SS: I’m in luck – I’ve got both the sea and the undine workin’ on my side. S: At the rate we’re goin’, all the treasure in the world’ll be mine soon enough. A: (You ain’t seen us Pirates of Death at our true strength yet, mark my words…)

EAST

Faust SS: We’re one step closer to creating a whole new world. S: It’s alright. I was taught a long time ago to never get impatient at sea. A: (I can’t allow myself to stop here. Not until I’ve accomplished this dream.)

Shino SS: Heh. Time to go brag about this to the guys in my dorm. S: I’ll do even better in the next drill, you’ll see. A: (Tch… I’m gonna get called into the teacher’s office if I keep screwing up like this…)

Heathcliff SS: Looks like everything went according to plan. That’s a relief. S: Phew. I was starting to feel a little nervous… A: (For the sake of everyone’s peace, we cannot allow ourselves to lose…!)

Nero SS: I’m one of the Pirates of Death too, yanno. S: Guess this brings me one step closer to becomin’ a proper pirate. A: (I’m still so goddamn weak…)

WEST

Shylock SS: Fufu. A job well done. S: We can do a little better than that, don’t you think? A: (I won’t go so easy on you next time.)

Murr SS: Just leave keepin’ the peace at sea to us! …Yeah, right. S: Another job complete. Aye-aye, sir! A: (I seem to be acting in poor form for you today, my love.)

Chloe SS: Now I’m a real man of the sea, too! …Haha, just kidding. S: Phew! I’m glad everything worked out okay! A: (I really need to toughen up if I want to stay on this ship…)

Rustica SS: Now then, shall we have a tea party to celebrate our victory? S: How relieving to know that the ship and crew are all safe. A: (Oh my, the sea appears to be in a rather bad mood.)

SOUTH

Figaro SS: Can’t just sit around and let my students show me up, can I? S: Your trusty teacher Figaro’s skill isn’t all just for show, y’know. A: (Oops, looks like I went a little too easy on ‘em that time.)

Rutile SS: I want to follow in the footsteps of my mother’s dream, too. S: One mistake here or there doesn’t make me any less of a pirate’s son. A: (Ugh… No, I can’t give up here…)

Lennox SS: The waves are on our side. S: So long as everyone is safe, that’s really all that matters. A: (Time for a temporary retreat.)

Mitile SS: This is just proof of all my hard work in class! S: I knew the practice sessions would make me nervous… A: (Uuu… I should go over everyone’s feedback again…)

"Some questions to get to know the mun’s rping habits!"

16. Favourite trope?

oh gosh this is a hard one... maybe something like "red oni blue oni"? any characters that have contrasting designs/personalities/backstories makes me weak!!

17. Least favourite trope?

this is equally as hard!! i don't really think i hate any sort of trope i think... shfshfs i know this is a boring answer though!!

18. Are there any AU’s you’d like to explore but haven’t had the chance to yet?

mahoyaku is a joseimuke/otome game so they have holiday events in the game all the time- every april fools day is a different au! i believe last year was a sci-fi/robot au and this years was a pirate au, so it'd be really fun or interesting to try and explore mithra's place in both of these settings ^_^

15 for Wayne and Siluka!

MY OTP!!! I have not written them in so long! This is for the Affectionate/Sweet Moments meme I posted the first day of May. Yep. I’m embarrassed.

15. A Hope We Don’t Get Caught Kiss

“You’ll never take me alive, cowboy scum!”

Wayne ducked a potentially lethal swipe of Schalk’s driftwood, but his grin remained on his face. The hat was not so lucky.

“I’ve fought more fearsome pirates than you!” Wayne taunted, swinging an imaginary lasso at his foe. Schalk, giggling, dodged out of the way, but slipped on the fallen hat and landed with a hard plop on the grass. Alma tottered up to Wayne and clung to his leg while he struck a victorious pose.

“Cowboys are so handsome,” Alma squeaked. “I’m going to marry a cowboy when I grow up.”

Schalk got to his feet and tried to scowl. “Cowboys are cheaters.”

Siluka, dozing in the shade of Mithra and Lotus’s roof, smiled to herself. She didn’t need to sit up to know Wayne’s cheeks would be turning pink. She wouldn’t’ve sat up anyway, but knowing her boyfriend’s habits extremely well was a good enough excuse.

“Dinner!” Zahau called from the house below. Schalk’s scowl deepened with genuine disappointment.

“Da-a-d, Wayne’s almost dead! I almost got him!”

Caolila’s voice joined them. “Let’s see how long you last if you don’t come in right now.”

Schalk was gone in a flash. Alma, taking her time in unwrapping her arms from Wayne’s leg, stumbled after him. Siluka curled onto her side, back facing the house, watching Wayne pick up his hat and dust it off. He joined her on the stubby grass, stretching out next to her and plopping the hat on her own head. Even with her face half-covered, Siluka could see him smiling with shameless adoration at her.

“Your face is sunburnt,” she noted. She reached out and poked his nose. A white indentation lingered before fading back to pink. “See?” Wayne swiped a hand over his face, as if it had magically turned into a hand mirror.

“Ah, goodness,” he sighed, flopping back on the grass, arms akimbo. “Can’t even spend a day off without some sort of awful adventure. Sunburn, pirate invasions...”

“I’ll be careful when I kiss you, then,” Siluka laughed, scooting closer. Hat askew, she paused when she saw his serious expression fixed on the sky. She propped her chin on his shoulder and pressed her lips against his jaw instead. “Your aura is blue.”

“Is that good?” Wayne asked the sky.

“Not this shade of blue.”

Finally, he rolled over on his side to face her. Siluka drew back to look at him properly. “I know Schalk was just teasin’, but...Siluka--”

Siluka blinked. “You’re not a cheater. I know that.”

His face froze for just a second, just long enough that she could see its relief, then split into a sheepish grin. “You always know just how to read me,” he replied. Siluka pulled the lapels of his coat, using them as leverage, and rolled on top of him.

“We read each other well, I think.”

Wayne’s cheeks were pinker than the sunburn could take credit for. He glanced first at the archaeologists’ house, then Zahau’s house, then behind her to the path. Siluka leaned her forehead on his and pecked the tip of his nose.

“Don’t you think--”

“I think it’s dinnertime,” she hummed, sliding down his body to lean into a real kiss. Wayne didn’t need much encouragement after that.

By the time the sun was no longer much of a threat, bickering voices climbing up the path tried to reach them, and failed. Too caught up in their kiss, they didn’t realize Mithra and Lotus had returned home from the inn until an uncharacteristically embarrassed Mithra was yelling at Lotus to stop pulling his hat down and to go find some water to splash the couple with.

Things That Have Been Dug Up In London: A Brief History

London is in a constant state of rediscovering itself. While we're now uncovering the graffiti of Victorian workers in the Tate Britain, Victorian workers were finding Roman houses in Billingsgate. Even 16th century writer John Stowe was in awe at the unearthing of Roman urns and bones — waxing lyrical about the "great nailes of Iron... there found... being each of them as bigge as a mans finger." Here is a potted history of things dug up from the London clay. We are, naturally, only raking the surface. One silver lining of the Blitz was that it tilled the soils of time; a house partially destroyed on Castle Street (now the site of the Museum of London) was revealed to have part of a medieval tower inside it. The Temple of Mithras — a place where young Romans probably sacrificed animals and bathed in the blood — bubbled once more to the City's surface, during rebuilding works in 1954. The Temple of Mithras in a temporary location. It was surrounded with barbed wire to deter souvenir hunters. © Illustrated London News Group 400,000 Londoners flocked to see the temple before it was scooched out of the way, so an office block could be built on the site. If you think that sounds like some crude 1950s feng shui, the temple will soon be ensconced in Bloomberg headquarters (though you'll still be able to see it). It wasn't until 1985 that the amphitheatre beneath Guildhall Art Gallery was revealed. Amazingly, it was discovered that the Romans had a penchant for 1980s Tron-style visual displays: Photo: helenoftheways Or perhaps the light show was added in after the excavation. We forget. A less flashy/visited Roman excavation lies in Orpington; Crofton Roman Villa saw the light again in 1926, and is now the fascinating skeleton of a roomy Roman farmhouse. Theatre was the descendent of the amphitheatre, and London's dug a few of these up too. Bankside's Rose Playhouse was discovered in 1989, and (sort of) saved by Dustin Hoffman. More recently, the Curtain Theatre in Shoreditch — an erstwhile hangout of Shakespeare's — was unearthed. We went to take a look: A deeper dig around the Temple of Mithras in 2013 unearthed all kinds of goodies, including an amber amulet shaped of a gladiator's helmet. Which brings us to our next section... Cheapside in the City was 'the Oxford Street of its day' — a thoroughfare selling souvenirs, slightly flashier and better-made than the ones we get now. In 1912, 340-odd buried trinkets — including brooches, rings, tankards and salt cellars — were brought to the surface at Cheapside, and gleamed in the London sun once more. 101 years after it was found, the Cheapside Hoard went on display at the Museum of London, where an oversized copy of one of the flashiest brooches slithered along the wall. The hoard had become semi-iconic — how many other London icons, we wonder, await discovery in the clay? Photo: Dave Pearce There's a good argument that Crossrail has brought about a new era of archaeology in London. Whole books have been written about the Crossrail digs. The project has also unearthed a good deal of treasure — as in the kind of proper treasure that pirates are partial to, like this gold sequin from 1501, found at Liverpool Street. One man's junk, of course, is another man's treasure, such as the cache of pickles, jam and ketchup pots discovered during a Crossrail dig beneath the Astoria nightclub in January 2017. Our condiments to whoever discovered this hoard. Where there are buildings and treasure hoards, so there are people, which brings us to... Picnickers of London, be warned — you are possibly eating your Ginster's pasty on top of a plague pit. So riddled is the city with these, there's even an ominous-looking map: Image: historic-uk.com These pits get dug up from time to time; we've got Crossrail — yup, that old chestnut — to thank for the discovery of a plague pit at Liverpool Street, which led to the identity of the DNA of bacteria that caused it, in 1665. In fact the 'Bedlam burial ground' revealed was 3,000 bodies from between 1569 to at least 1738 — a veritable city of bones. Other versions of plague — syphilis, smallpox, tuberculosis, Paget's disease — were found on bodies excavated at Crossbones, which lies in the shadow of The Shard. The 1990s excavation of these paupers' bodies is still commemorated with candlelit vigils — amazing how historical digs can strike a chord in the hearts of the living. Crossbones. Photo: John Hodson Sometimes it's not mass graves, but single ones, that cause a stir. Such as that of the Spitalfields Roman Woman, uncovered in 1999. She was found in a lead coffin decorated with scallop shells, and laying on pillow of bay leaves. In an echo of the Temple of Mithras unearthing, 10,000 came to see the skeleton when it went on display at the Museum of London. Sometimes, the world of human and animal bones bizarrely collide. Take the series of walrus bones dug up in a coffin at St Pancras Old Church. It wasn't a whole walrus, mind. As if that makes it OK. And so to the things we know, or think, lie beneath London's soil — but aren't quite sure where. Like London's most famous bit of cheese: I did dig another [pit], and put our wine in it; and I my Parmazan cheese, as well as my wine and some other things. So says Samuel Pepys of burying his prize fromage in a Seething Lane garden. He never revealed if he dug it up again — maybe it's still down there, ageing nicely. Not a contemporaneous image of Boudica. Photo: Nigel Bewley And, if we plunge back way further in time, was the flame-headed warrior Boudica buried beneath the platforms of King's Cross or the rugby fields of Peckham Rye? We wrote an article on it... and we still don't know. We've not included any mudlarking find here because mudlarkers aren't allowed to dig, so there.

The Ice Pirates

A classic of 80’s scifi weirdness:

The film takes place in a distant future where water is so scarce and rationed that it is considered an immensely valuable substance, both as a commodity and as a currency in ice cubes. The Templars of Mithra control the water and they destroyed worlds that had natural water leaving the galaxy virtually dry. Pirates dedicate their lives to raiding ships and looting the ice from the cargo holds to make a living.

They just don’t make ’em like they used too…
