In [Sei Shonagon]'s 11th-century Pillow Book, an exemplar of zuihitsu—a genre of personal reflections and other miscellany—her 164 lists are the most striking feature. They comprise a snobby-chic overview of Heian-era erotic and aesthetic tastes, sporting such titles as “Embarrassing Things” and “Things That Have Lost Their Power.” On her list of “Things That Make One’s Heart Beat Faster,” for example, she places “To see a gentleman stop his carriage before one’s gate and instruct his attendants to announce his arrival,” while “last year’s paper fan” is filed under “Things That Arouse a Fond Memory of the Past.” Sei Shōnagon and others who dwelt in the world of the Japanese court, where beauty was carefully ordered and arranged, used aesthetics as a way of boxing in the emotions. When memories and feelings overwhelmed her, Sei Shōnagon broke them up into tolerable bite sizes with such lists.

"En recuerdo de mi padre estaba determinada a elegir amantes que me recordarán los placeres de la caligrafía.

No podía recordar qué era más importante: Un calígrafo indiferente que fuera un excelente amante o un excelente amante que fuera un calígrafo deficiente."

@caution2men asked : Hi here I am with a silly question. In ELOD if lian song didn't reach on time at the night of pimpon fruit incident, what would've happened? Any guess?

Well...I guess that's a what-if I've never considered? But I guess Feng Jiu would have been stuck in Aranya's Dream for even longer without outside help, so Donghua likely would've beat himself up more about it later, but I imagine they would've still figured out who she was and what happened eventually. And then they would still have to help her. Also I imagine it would've been a political problem and a half to handle for Fanyin Valley.

It's 1:10 am, I'm hunting a mosquito, and thinking about what Sei Shonagon wrote some 1000 years ago, under the title Infuriating Things:

"You’ve just settled sleepily into bed when a mosquito announces itself with that thin little wail, and starts flying around your face."

“The smell of white paper is like the scent of skin of a new lover who has just paid a surprise visit out of a rainy garden. And the black ink is like lacquered hair. And the quill? Well, the quill is like that instrument of pleasure whose purpose is never in doubt but whose surprising efficiency one always, always forgets.”

Things that do not glow, but should: Butterflies and moths. Snowdrops. Snowflakes. The right direction. Hearts.

"Safety"

I just think he deserves to sit in a window and look at his stars until he falls asleep...

#good omens #good omens fanart #crowley #mine #my art #aziraphale was in the middle of clearing that space for crowley because there's a specific star you can only really see from this window #he was going to make it really nice for him #pillows and a blanket and a bottle of châteauneuf-du-pape waiting for him #but then crowley came over one day sooner than aziraphale expected #and when aziraphale comes home to the bookshop that night #he finds his demon curled up on the windowsill #draped over a few books aziraphale hadn't had time to move yet #but looking comfortable enough #and very peacefully asleep #don't worry #aziraphale is about to bring him a blanket
