“He’s Louis Tomlinson,” the General spoke from next to Louis. “The Sun Summoner, moi tsar,” the General said, looking at Louis. “He will change the future,” the General said, looking at the king and the queen. “Starting now.” The General raised his hand and shadows creeped up from every corner of the Great Hall, enveloping them all in darkness. Louis was reminded of the time when these shadows had protected him, them, from the harsh winter of Ravka. “Now call the sun,” the General leaned in and whispered in Louis’ ear.
4) Magical Soup | Explicit | 28,580 words
Slytherin prefect Louis Tomlinson’s seventh year at Hogwarts takes an immediate turn for the worse when he’s made to be potions partners with Harry Styles, Hufflepuff’s resident heartthrob and class clown.  Louis has always considered Styles to be a terrible show-off who coasts by on his charm and good looks, but the more they work together, the more he questions that idea.  As term goes on, will Louis be able to admit to himself that he might actually like Harry Styles after all… and maybe, just maybe, as more than a friend?
5) Blue Lotus | Explicit | 29,824 words
Note: The pairing in this fic is Louis/OMC.
After the Second Rebellion and the dismantling of President Cowell’s regime, Louis struggles to make sense of life.

Jane Austen’s Persuasion AU. Nine years ago Louis Tomlinson was persuaded to break off his engagement to Harry Styles, a poor sailor. Since then Louis has come to regret being so easily convinced to give up his one chance of happiness. Now Louis’ family is in debt and his childhood home is being sold. In a complete reversal of fortune, Harry has returned to England a wealthy bachelor looking to settle down. Events conspire to bring them together once more though Louis is- must surely be- the last man on earth that Captain Styles would think of now.
7) Dangerous Liaisons | Explicit | 42,589 words
Note: This fic is locked and can only be read by AO3 users.

A Lord of the Rings-inspired Middle Earth AU. Louis is an Elven prince, next in line to become King of Mirkwood, and Harry is the orphaned Human boy who grows up alongside him. They fall in love, but Louis’s obligations to the throne, Harry’s mortality, and impending war threaten to tear them apart.
10) Secret’s Safe With Me | Explicit | 59,207 words
When bad turbulence and three glasses of wine have Louis spilling all of his secrets to the man sitting next to him on the plane, it’s embarrassing, sure, but it’s also easy enough to shrug off and block out of his memory forever. Or at least, it was until Louis went into work on Monday morning and realized that the man from the plane is the new CEO of his company.
11) Mead Of Poetry | Mature | 65,053 words
Under the pressure of continuing the Styles viscountcy line now that he is getting older, Harry sets himself three rules to finally settle down and marry: firstly, the omega needs to be reasonably attractive, secondly, they must be of great mind, thirdly, they cannot be anyone he would ever fall in love with. Enters Charlotte Tomlinson, the diamond of the first water of the upcoming season and seemingly the perfect candidate to the viscount’s plan, but her omega brother, Louis, is in Harry’s way. Louis only seeks to protect his sister and he sure is not going to let a rake play with her heart.
12) King Of My Heart | Explicit | 83,712 words
Harry shrugged, his shoulders brushing against Louis’. “I think since I was young, I craved that feeling, though. I didn’t always hate being a prince, but over time, certain aspects of it just bothered me so much. I remember being four years old and realising that every person in the world knew my name, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted that. I told my mum as much and she tried telling me that being a prince is not a punishment. That it was a privilege that I should be happy about it, but no one asked me if I was. But looking up at the sky, I remember that all of this will one day mean nothing, and neither will I. All the pressure will then disappear and I could just be.” Louis stayed quiet, allowing Harry the space to open up because he knew Harry wasn’t looking for advice, but just someone to confide in. What he wished he could tell him was that in the short amount of time that he’d known the prince, in Louis’ eyes, he couldn’t be insignificant if he tried. He was brighter than every star up there in the sky. He was all Louis could look at and think about.
13) A Taste of Desire | Explicit | 104,414 words
“As forward as I have been with you this evening, I am also aware this dinner party isn’t the place to conduct business.” Mr. Tomlinson chuckles quietly to himself, shooting a subtle glance across the table towards their hostess. “And besides, I am sure our hostess would be horribly disappointed to learn that we went away this evening with a business agreement and not a mating one.” Harry, who had been sipping his wine, coughs harshly at this. He splutters, unaccustomed to such blatant statements about mating. Mr. Tomlinson continues to laugh quietly, clearly pleased at Harry’s reaction. “Mrs. Humphreys promised that there was an alpha attending the dinner tonight that I would certainly get on well with,” Mr. Tomlinson continues, voice teasing. “She assured me that we would have much in common since we both work with mills.” Mr. Tomlinson glances at Harry, eyes flashing with mirth. “Little did she know that would be where our mutual interests began and ended.”
14) Our Endless Numbered Days | Explicit | 120,815 words
“Harry?” whispered Louis, his mouth dry, his nose pressing against the other’s warm skin. “Mh?” Harry’s humming was gentle, his fingers lightly caressing the younger boy’s arm, his chest steadily rising and falling beneath Louis’ cheek. A couple of seconds passed, and Louis looked up at him in the darkness of the cave, barely able to make out the expression on his face. When he tried to inhale deeply, his breath hitched. He struggled to find the words to tell Harry what he was thinking about. Another couple of seconds passed, and Louis listened to the reassuring beating of the prince’s heart beneath his cheek. He couldn’t. “Nothing,” he whispered, his voice weak. I think you’re half of my soul.
15) Tainted Saints And Velvet Vices | Mature | 126057 words
A self-fulfilling Hogwarts AU in which Louis is new to seventh year and Harry is the resident devil-may-care Slytherin set to make his entire experience a living misery. Due to less than favourable circumstances they’re forced to forge an unwilling, tentative relationship for their own survival. Repressed emotions, decidedly unromantic ballroom dancing, Triwizard Tournament tasks, creative jinxes and twilight flying above the Forbidden Forest ensue.

These Zodiac Signs STRUGGLE with FINDING LOVE
Finding true love is a blessing but it can be quite challenging for some signs, given their traits and the unique love language of their zodiac. These zodiac signs might have a bumpy ride to their love destination due to the way their stars are aligned and certain characteristics they hold due to this.
While the route may be longer and bouncy for some zodiacs, it does not necessarily mean that their desired station would turn out anything less than they expect. In the end, no matter how long or how difficult it is, finding the right one makes it all worth it.
Being well aware if your zodiac sign falls in one of the zodiac signs that struggles with finding love might protect you from the anxiety in all the deviations of your love journey.
Let’s find out if you or your POI falls into this category -
#1. Cancer
Their genuine hearts and the rose-colored glasses that make them see the good in everyone is often why Cancer ends up with a wounded heart. They like to fight for their relationship and fix them by giving in their all in situations even when the best thing to do is leave.
Separation is something their soft hearts cannot bear so they make sure to walk that extra mile to mend the relationship they are in, and unfortunately, often end up entertaining even the most toxic relationships.
Cancer is a nurturer and they like to shower their partners with care and are known to shift their world around to make sure their partner’s needs are met. This emotional vulnerability might not be a strength for the loving Cancer if they give their heart to someone with wrong intentions.
Cancer’s sensitive side often makes them hover longer in unwanted relationships, making it harder for them to find the right one.
#2. Aries
Their straightforwardness and awareness of knowing what they want and certainly what they don’t, makes Aries a complex zodiac to find love. They often have bad luck finding partners that make them their priority or are certain about the relationship, something which Aries absolutely repels.
Their inability to perceive their partner’s difference of opinion or the lack of patience to deal with even little relationship turmoil may arise bigger challenges in the relationship.
Aries has little to no control over their anger spurs and even the smallest of mistakes by their partner can piss Aries off. This inconsistent or sudden outburst of emotions can be a lot to handle for their partners, arousing quandaries to the relationship.
Aries may give off the impression that they want what they want and are ready to compromise the emotions of others in order to meet their own needs.
#3. Gemini
These social butterflies are great to have around for a fabulous time and can be the life of a party but they can be quite tough to handle when their co-dependent side comes to play.
Gemini is known to wear their heart on their sleeve, be extremely expressive when it comes to communicating their love, which sometimes can be very intense and feel more like smothering to their partners. They might not be able to understand that their partner enjoys a little personal space and that some time off is essential for any relationship.
Gemini is a loyal soul, and they go to any lengths to keep their promises and reassure their partners that they’re honest and all into the relationship, naturally expecting the same in return.
If they come across a partner who isn’t as reassuring or has their guard up, it might stir up some problems in the relationship. If their person of interest isn’t as honest and seems deceitful, Gemini can get into an alert mode and might have a hard time trusting their partners ever since.
#4. Taurus
Taurus is the protector of their own heart as well as the relationship which can sometimes turn them into being overly possessive about their partners. This can be suffocating for their better halves and manifest problems in the relationship.
They tend to want constant reassurance and have a hard time perceiving that the two individuals in the relationship lead individual lives and are entitled to make their own decisions. This creates friction in their relationship which can sometimes rotten the sweetness of the relationship.
They are also quite stubborn when it comes to accepting their flaws and working on them in order to strengthen the relationship. This may create problems in their personal as well as relationship growth as their partners may see them as rigid and self-centered.
Their nature of always being around another human and feeling lonely when they aren’t can often get them into unfortunate situations as they end up tolerating the wrong type of partners just to shoo off their loneliness.

So. Everyone seems to agree that Dive Back in Time is from CXS's POV, but I don't really think so?
Bear with me
(spoilers after the cut)
SO. UM. IT HAPPENED. THE THEORY EVERYONE HAS BEEN GOING APESHIT FOR.
And THAT's where I think the song is no longer meant to be in CXS's POV. I think it never was tbh, but it was always LG's song. I'm no interpreter (God I wish I was one of the theorists of Tumblr) so I'll just go through a few obvious points in order through the lyrics.
1.
Tumblr media
"Without you, I don't know if I could take this road", "if only I had got it right before". While I think everything screams LG's POV these are the main-sentences in this part. W now know LG really cannot take "this road" (the timeline he was in) without CSX by his side. And the second one shows he's prolly very regretful for letting CXS die. Foreshadowing to it being his fault maybe? Hope not!!!
I'm not talking about the "chase you to the end of the world" lines, bc they're obvious enough. Come on.
2.
Tumblr media
So... haha I hope it's not a surprise I'm a shiguang shipper.
Moving on: these lines are the main reason I thought the song is LG's. While the line "I'm always late to my fate" is kinda CXS coded (he's late to dying bc LG keeps saving him haha get it), the rest just screams LG and his silent love (be it wtv kind of love. Like even if you don't ship it you can't deny he loves him in some way. Would you rip the literal fabric of time and reality for someone you don't love).
"Here's to all the mistakes I never made" is pretty on the nose: he's gone back and fixed the stuff that caused CXS's death node to appear.
Now, the part that made me clarify I'm a shipper: "If it ain't for your misguided taste, I'd turn out so ordinary, fabulously un-addictively bore out my own brain". We all know LG's considered to be the more stoic rational one of the pair, and has probably always been like this. I believe CSX entering his life had such a big effect on him, he actually relaxed in some way or smth. I do not know the words to express this properly in English nor do I have any evidence of this, so I hope it makes enough sense.
Now this doesn't have to mean anything for the ship but I like being delusional.
3.
Tumblr media
THIS. SO.
I believe he's saying this words to CXS when he's dead. He's probably like "well, I know I told you you shouldn't be messing with time and I'm gonna be a hypocrite but don't feel sorry for me I'm fine with anything as long as you're alive" (hence "I'll love where I'm going now"). " 'Cause I'm about to lose my mind" is simply him going apeshit for CXS's death to the point where he's decided to go back in time. You can't change my mind have you SEEN THE ANGER IN THIS DUDE WHEN CXS GOT SHOT ISTG-
4.
Tumblr media
I know I said I was going in order and then left the chorus for the end but this screenshot has the last chorus so it counts :)
I think this is the main reason ppl believe it's meant to be CXS, and this is probably meant to be deceitful. We didn't know Lu Guang could go back in time after all, so it made it seem like it was CXS's words. Especially with "something secretive hidden inside your mind", which I don't truly have a theory for tehehe. But let's get back on track.
"All the heartaches and the smiles never faded, I know you'll be by my side when we make it" kinda seems like LG's telling that everything is fine after he's gone back, doesn't it? He's rewound CXS's existence, wich got him back to happy times; but he hasn't really moved on. His heart still hurts when he remembers what's gonna happen.
"I know you'll be by my side when we make it" is simply him being hopeful that the whole going-back-in-time plan will work. And maybe foreshadow to a happy ending? (please)
I probably didn't add anything new but I need to rant about this show a little bit 'cus i'm about to lose my mind *wink wink*

prayer factory venue feat. @selfmythclcgy
Tumblr media
Another fabulous event in the making. Emersyn Barnes's parties were one for the books and everyone knew that she had them, mostly every month or so, at the fabulous Prayer Factory. She would spare no expense whatsoever to make the venue look transformed into her own theme - and this month's theme? Botanical. Every kind of expensive flower was shipped in to make the venue look like a paradise and the food? Emersyn knew the food had to be just as good too - to pull in as many people as she could, the way a popular socialite would. The more people involved, the more she could pull them into her web of deceit and drugs.
That was her plan, however - when she invited Sinclair to the party.
Anyone who was anyone knew about Emersyn's parties, and she knew Sinclair knew about them too - and she wouldn't be holding back. When she had last seen him at the Sydney Film Festival, it had been too long and he had managed to get away from her. Emersyn nearly lit up when she saw him walk through the restaurant door - flocking over to him with a mischievous smile on her face.
"My darling." She spoke, putting her arms around him for a greeting. "Welcome to an Emersyn Barnes party. Are you quite ready?"

I've been watching a lot of those "mario bosses with lyrics" videos (ie juno songs, man on the internet) so I thought I'd start writing som lyrics for the final boss theme of Wario: Master of Disguise!! SPOILERS AHEAD
Terrormisu's Theme with LYRICS (WIP)
OHHHH-HOH-HOH-HOH-HOH!! Surprise, milord! Were you expecting, say, the spirit of the Cobalt Star? Well, sorry to say, you've been PLAYED like a HARP! On that NOTE, why don't I explain everything. I've always wanted to have my own SHOW TUNE...
(SONG BEGINS HERE - FOLLOW ALONG! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67qNZONr42s)
So many years of waiting, now I'm free! I'm grateful to you for unleashing me! You've been a dear since we met at the peak, All tangled up in my web of deceit... 'CAUSE TERRORMISU ISN'T SWEET!
In a faraway land, The king of sand was a greedy man, Called me forth, made a pact His people for riches, signed the contract (AND THEN I STABBED HIM IN THE BACK!)
Twas overkill, true But sealed for eons?! What's Cannoli's excuse? The Wishstone he cast me into So many centuries with nothing to do!
Worry not, Wind and Wand, for I'll pay you fair, For your troubles I'LL EAT YOUR SOULS LIVE ON AIR. My pleasure! A fabulous moment to treasure What a treat to be your series finale!
(... that's what i have done so far ehe)

Deceitful Practices
Tumblr media
by Aiden Wilson Tozer
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. - 2 Corinthians 11:13-14
Still other deadly sins exist within the very circles that make pretense of the most advanced type of godliness; such, for instance, as professing great compassion for the sick, conducting giant meetings for the purpose of bringing healing to them, but slyly separating the hopeless cases from those less serious and more susceptible to psychological impressions, and all the while growing rich on the miseries and pains of humanity. Some of these prophets own large estates, drive huge cars and boast of fabulous wealth tied up in equipment, while the suffering multitudes whose blood they suck hobble or crawl or are carried to meetings. Investigation of one such man carried on by some godly pastors revealed that he had been hiring healthy persons to come up for prayer and pretend to be healed. This was done, he explained when faced with the deed, to "encourage weak faith." Thus lying and deception were deliberately made a part of the purported methods of the Holy Spirit. Others base everything on the power of money and personality, yet testify that they are trusting wholly in the power of the Spirit. And many introduce into their religious work every gimmick known to the world, and so destroy the very thing they profess to cherish. It is sufficient evidence of the moral insensibility of such men that they violently resent even the mention of these things; and it is further proof of the success of their methods that the very public they have betrayed will rush to defend them.

Spoiler Free Book review of:
Catch Me If You Can: The True Story of a Real Fake by Frank W. Abagnale with Stan Redding
Good reads synopsis/summary: 
“Frank W. Abagnale, alias Frank Williams, Robert Conrad, Frank Adams and Robert Monjo, was one of the most daring con men, forgers, impostors and escape artists in history. In his brief but notorious career, Abagnale donned a pilot's uniform and co-piloted a Pan Am jet, masqueraded as the supervising resident of a hospital, practised law without a licence, passed himself off as a college sociology professor and cashed over $2.5 million in forged cheques, all before he was 21 years old. Known by the police of 26 foreign countries and all 50 US states as 'The Skywayman', Abagnale lived a sumptuous life on the run - until the law finally caught up with him. Now recognised as America's leading authority on financial foul play, Abagnale is a charming rogue whose hilarious, stranger-than=fiction international escapes - including one from an aeroplane - make Catch Me if You Can an irresistible tale of deceit.”
Format: audio book read by Barrett Whitener (an amazing reader 10/10 for performance) 
Source: Libby (app that my local library partners with)
Book started on: Jan 8th
Book finished on: Jan 8th
Book Grade (out of 100): 95
Book emojis: 🧑🏻‍✈️🪪🕵🏻🧠🧑🏻‍⚖️🚓💶🧳👮🏻‍♂️
Spoiler free thoughts: While the accompanying movie that was based off this book is far more popular, and far more talked about. The book is, in my opinion, better. The true story of frank Abagnale is far more interesting than the fictionalized version of his story portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. I will say, I would love to read a book from the perspective of the FBI regarding this case.
This is the first time I have read this book, and frankly, I am upset that I waited this long to read it. I have seen the movie countless times over the years as it is one of my favorite movies and I think I may return to the book as well. I don’t know what it is about the story of Frank Abagnale maybe it’s the confidence, maybe it’s the stupidity, Maybe it’s the skill. Maybe, and most likely it is that you rarely hear of such serious crimes where the number of individual victims is low, while the severity of the crime is high. Frank Abagnale rarely prayed on individual people. Instead, his targets were big businesses, big banks, and large hotel chains. Even with his crimes did pray on specific people, he was so charming that the people rarely upset (except for that one model/se worker) whatever it is about his story, there is some thing, both terrifying and comforting about it.
Warnings: I suppose it would be fair to warn you that this book contains large amounts of crime. Frank focuses mainly on check fraud what does also delve into regular old fraud. There are also mentions of horrible treatments within prisons Specifically his time in a French prison is one of the most heartbreaking things I have ever read. There is also briefly a sex worker though she is not discussed much.
Do I recommend this book? Absolutely! This book is fabulous and while it doesn’t quite put the movie to shame, it does certainly top it. Regardless of whether you watch the movie or read the book I implore you to look into Frank Abagnale’s story as he is deeply interesting. It’s probably weird to say and think this, but I believe Frank may be my favorite criminal. (I am well aware that I should not have a favorite criminal.)
If you enjoyed this book and are looking for other recommendations: if you haven’t seen the movie, I would recommend the movie. If you haven’t read the book, I would recommend the book. I wish I had more things to recommend you, but I’ve simply not come across anything that affects me the way frank story does. If you have any suggestions for me, please leave them in the replies or the tags. :)

Nation: Currently leaving in Mondaslt
Affiliation: Herself
Tefnut: "All you need to know about me is I need clay to make bricks. Data. Data. I can't make bricks without clay.
Personality - Tefnut gives off a mysterious and otherworldly vibe. It's your opinion to see if that's a good or bad thing. She's a natural charmer and is resourceful. Adventurous, daring, and friendly by nature, thus making a fabulous company. Being intelligent, innovative, and optimistic makes it easy for her to adapt, easy to change. However, she can be unpredictable, restless, and emotionally inconsistent. Tefnu restlessness can be negative. Her edgy temperament and impatience can lead to hasty decisions.
Likes/ Hobbies - Loves reading aloud, traveling to new places, and collecting unique souvenirs. Tefnut has a passion for deep-sea diving, and she enjoys exploring the mysteries of the ocean depths. She also enjoys learning new languages and cultures, making connections with people from all over the world. Tefnut is a foodie and loves to try new cuisines and experiment in the kitchen.

Skills - Tefnut has an excellent memory and is a skilled negotiator. Her innate ability to connect with people allows her to broker data deals effortlessly. She's an excellent swimmer and has extensive knowledge about marine life. Her adventurous spirit and resourcefulness enable her to adapt to various situations and thrive in any environment.
Character quirks:
1. Heavy sleeper
2.Perpetually interrupts when others are speaking
3. Tefnut loves to collect rare artifacts from her travels and displays them in her home. She can spend hours talking about the history and significance of each piece.
4. She has a habit of tapping her feet or drumming her fingers when she's bored or restless. It's a telltale sign that she's ready for the next adventure.
5. Tefnut has a unique laugh that sounds like a mix of a snort and a giggle. It can be infectious, and once you hear it, you can't help but smile.
6. She has a fear of heights but loves the thrill of skydiving. It's a conflict that she's still trying to work through.
7. Tefnut is terrible at telling jokes, but she loves to try anyway. Her punchlines usually fall flat, but her enthusiasm makes up for it.
8. She has a secret passion for karaoke and can belt out some impressive tunes when she thinks no one else is listening.
9. Tefnut has a sweet tooth and can't resist a good dessert. She's always on the lookout for the best bakery in town and loves to sample their treats.
Lore/ Backstory:Tefnut is based around a genshin impact theory called Samsara Theory or Teyvat Simulation theory. Tefnut's job is to observe, monitor, analyze, and run scenarios to find the solution of an "issue."
Tefnut never entered the simulation world herself. Her goal was simply to collect data on what was happening. She did not have any personal feelings toward that world. The world was merely an objective setting for her boss's experiments. However, the "issue" started affecting the real world after the accident.
Tefnut went to her boss in order to try to solve the issue. However, her boss went missing after the incident. He had left behind the research project, the experimental equipment, and a map that would help her find him.
The map was a piece of the prototype equipment. When it came time for her to collect the data she needed from the prototype equipment, she realized there were several problems she couldn't solve without going into the simulation world.
She tried to go into the simulation world, but something happened to the coding mechanism, and the system became chaotic with no way to control it.
Tefnut is currently trapped inside the simulation, but to her, all that matters is to find her boss and solve the "issue." She believes she will be able to figure out the "issue" if she finds her boss. That's why Tefnut sometimes has a glitching around her, but mostly, the glitching happens on her vision. As she moves through the simulation world, Tefnut uncovers more and more mysteries, leading her closer to finding her boss and the solution to the "issue."
She also begins to develop a personal attachment to the world she once only observed from afar. As she delves deeper into the simulation, Tefnut begins to discover that there may be far more at stake than just the resolution of the "issue." The very foundations of reality itself may be at risk.

Elerra is the bastard child of a Lolth-Sworn mother and a Seldarine father; the result of an affair. Glamour magic and other methods of deceit kept this a secret from her for a good portion of her life- until the priestesses made it clear to everyone Elerra was not a blessed child of Lolth, lacking the pure blood demanded of her brood. As such, she was not able to be a sorcerer or a warlock like all the other women in her community. The resulting abuse and neglect led Elerra to harbor a deep-seated hatred of all Lolth-sworn drow.
--
Since Eli's backstory means she hates Lolth-sworn drow, when I met Minthara there was gonna be no recruiting her lol
Which is ok, cuz Elerra looks fabulous in her armor and camp clothes

The Rest of My Translation of (some of) Martial's Epigrams
I posted about a part of this translation project and got a lot of replies from sexbots which I thought was funny so here's the rest:
Keep in mind that this was a project that I did for school so please manage your expectations and be nice
2.47 
Subdola famosae moneo fuge retia moechae,
Levior o conchis, Galle, Cytheriacis.
Confidis natibus? non est pedico maritus:
Quae faciat duo sunt: irrumat aut futuit. adultress
I warn you, stay away from the deceitful loose woman, flee from the notorious net of the adultress,
Smoother oh Gallus, than Venus' conch shells 
Do you believe in your butt? He is not a married sodomite: 
What he does are two things: he sucks or he has sex.
7.35
Inguina succinctus nigra tibi servos aluta
Stat, quotiens calidis tota foveris aquis.
Sed meus, ut de me taceam, Laecania, servos
Iudaeum nuda sub cute pondus habet,
Sed nudi tecum iuvenesque senesque lavantur.
An sola est servi mentula vera tui?
Ecquid femineos sequeris, matrona, recessus,
Secretusque tua, cunne, lavaris aqua?
Do the groins of the slaves, tucked up by black leather, become erect for you,
as often as you refreshed yourself in the water?
But my Daughter, to shut up about myself, Laecania, The slaves have the burden of the Jews under their naked skin, 
but young men and old men bathe naked with you.
Or is slave dick alone your truth?
Maybe the wife attained a woman’s retreat,
And your secret, cunt: do you wash in the water?
3.87
Narrat te, Chione, rumor numquam esse fututam
Atque nihil cunno purius esse tuo.
Tecta tamen non hac, qua debes, parte lavaris:
Si pudor est, transfer subligar in faciem.
Rumor tells me, Chionos, that you will never have sex 
And that nothing is purer than your vulva 
However this is not the part you should hide when you bathe:
If you have any shame, move your underwear to your face
3.52
Empta domus fuerat tibi, Tongiliane, ducentis:
Abstulit hanc nimium casus in urbe frequens.
Conlatum est deciens. Rogo, non potes ipse videri
Incendisse tuam, Tongiliane, domum?
You bought this house for 200 Tongilianus: 
 A common accident in this city stole it from you.
You collected 10 times its value. 
Was it not possible, I ask,
that you burned your own house down?
3.43
Mentiris iuvenem tinctis, Laetine, capillis,
Tam subito corvus, qui modo cycnus eras.
Non omnes fallis; scit te Proserpina canum:
Personam capiti detrahet illa tuo.
You fabricate youth with your dyed hair Laetinus,
nevertheless suddenly you are a raven, when just recently you were a swan.
Not everyone is deceived, Proserpina knows that you are gray:
She will remove the mask from your head.
5.9
Languebam: sed tu comitatus protinus ad me Venisti centum, Symmache, discipulis. Centum me tetigere manus aquilone gelatae: Non habui febrem, Symmache, nunc habeo.
I felt sick, and Symmachus, you came straight to me with 100 students.
100 hands frozen by the North Wind touched me:
I did not have a fever, Symmachus, but now I do.
3.89
Utere lactucis et mollibus utere malvis:
Nam faciem durum, Phoebe, cacantis habes.
Enjoy lettuce and soft lesser mallow-plant:
For you, Phoebus, have a constipated face.
4.87
Infantem secum semper tua Bassa, Fabulle,
Conlocat et lusus deliciasque vocat,
Et, quo mireris magis, infantaria non est.
Ergo quid in causa est? Pedere Bassa solet.
Your wife Bassa always has a child with her, Fabullus, which she calls her darling and delight,
And so that you have more reason for wonder, she is not a good mother.
Therefore why does she do it? Because she farts a lot.  
6.36
Mentula tam magna est, quantus tibi, Papyle, nasus,
Ut possis, quotiens arrigis, olfacere.
Your penis and nose are so big, Papyle, 
that you can smell it when you have an erection.
1.19
Si memini, fuerant tibi quattuor, Aelia, dentes:               
expulit una duos tussis et una duos.
iam secura potes totis tussire diebus:
nil istic quod agat tertia tussis habet.  
If I remember, you had four teeth Aelia:
One cough expelled two and another expelled two more.
Already safe, you are able to cough every day:
The third cough has no effect in this situation.
1.23
Invitas nullum nisi cum quo, Cotta, lavaris
et dant convivam balnea sola tibi
Mirabar quare numquam me, Cotta, vocasses:
iam scio me nudum displicuisse tibi.  
You invite nobody except those whom you bathe with, Cotta,
And only baths give guests to you
I used to be amazed you never invited me, Cotta:
Now I know you did not like to see me naked.
2.30
Mutua viginti sestertia forte rogabam,
quae vel donanti non grave munus erat.
quippe rogabatur fidusque vetusque sodalis
et cuius laxas arca flagellat opes.
is mihi ‘dives eris, si causas egeris’ inquit.
quod peto da, Gai: non peto consilium.  
By chance I asked for a loan of 20 Sestertii. 
That is not even a large obligation, 
As I was asking a loyal and old friend who can whip up vast wealth.
He said “you would be rich if you took cases”.
Give me what I ask for, Gaius: I did not ask for advice. 
1.38
Quem recitas meus est, o Fidentine, libellus
sed male cum recitas, incipit esse tuus. 
The little book which you recite from is mine, oh Fidentinus,
But when you recite it badly it begins to be yours.
1.58
Milia pro puero centum me mango poposcit:
risi ego, sed Phoebus protinus illa dedit.
hoc dolet et queritur de me mea mentula secum
laudatur meam Phoebus in invidiam.
sed sesteriolum donavit mentula Phoebo
bis decies: hoc da tu mihi, pluris emam.  
A slave dealer asked me to pay 100,000 for a boy:
I smiled but Phoebus paid him immediately.
This hurt my penis and it complains to itself about me,
And Phoebus is praised, which makes me jealous.  
But his penis gave a silver coin to Phoebus 20 times:
Do this for me and I will buy more.
1.83
Os et labra tibi lingit, Manneia, catellus:
non miror, merdas si libet esse cani.  
The puppy licks face and lips Manneia.
I am not surprised, since your dog likes to eat shit.
2.16
Zoilus aegrotat: faciunt hanc stragula febrem.
si fuerit sanus, coccina quid facient?
quid torus a Nilo, quid Sidone tinctus olenti?
ostendit stultas quid nisi morbus opes?  
Quid tibi cum medicis? dimitte Machaonas omnis.
vis fieri sanus? stragula sume mea.
Zolius is sick: the bedsheets cause his cold.
If he was healthy, how would he use his scarlet covers?
Why is his bed from the Nile, soaked with Phonetian perfumes?
What shows stupid wealth, if not sickness?
What business do you have with doctors? Send away all the doctors.
Want to get better? Borrow my bedsheets.

my mood tonight is so shit. Im sure not feeling good contributes. I ate nothing today. coffee and cigars. go ahead and say it, I deserve what I get. I can not afford to have an episode while my artemesia is sick too. I see the improvement in her after that 2 day course of ivermectin so thats absolutely fabulous. but theres no room right now as caregiver to go off the bend in my now infamous episodes. sometimes I feel like Paul Atreides and his uncontrollable visions. I have no control when they come when they go, or what they mean in the larger sense of my broken consciousness. At least the Improvement of not having hallucinations is a gift from whatever the universe may be. But of course I still carry that stigma within the family and if I say something out of the way or demonstrate some excessive Behavior I get that look which says are you going crazy again, are you in one of your episodes? Which I wholly understand and do not resent in any way I imagine if I was on the receiving end I would feel exactly the same way. So truth be told I have never actually talked to anyone seriously on the nature of the things that actually do trigger me and cause me to go into these episodes which they have labeled psychotic, which is a wonderful thing to show up on your medical records because each doctor has a oh your psychotic I see I guess I shouldn't have to listen to your complaints and diagnosis with any real interest. They wipe you right off. Even I myself could not fully explain to you in a thousand words or less what it is that is actually wrong with me. Many other people go through the simple little traumas that I went through and they didn't turn out half as bad as me. Of course some of them turned out to be serial killers. That doesn't mean that I have to. We control our own destiny and we have our own choices. But in some kind of morbid way I understand the emptiness in the chest and the emotions so strong like a tumultuous storm and Visions flashing before your eyes until you feel like you're not even a part of the human race anymore you somehow transcended them into what I like to call Super species. It says if you could walk through a crowded room and be able to pick out the other super species entities like yourself as if you can see each other over top of the heads of all the regular neurotypical party goers. Yes we are The Crazy Ones. The Quiet Ones. The artists, the musicians, the sculptors and even some of the scientists and more likely than not one of the serving help bringing you your gin on the rocks. Super species usually existing in every employ and Walk of Life. I fell in love and married one. What else was I supposed to do? Marry a neurotypical who can't even begin to discuss the sociological problems facing our modern society and keep up with me on my astrophysical been on everything I see in the night sky. Someone who our main argument for years running now is weather eto demerzell IS R. Deneel Otivlaw in disguise. You know she's a keeper right ther
Maybe these are delusions of grandeur. Because I know there's no way of course that I am better than anyone else. But really I think it is a good way to spot the people who are, as so many hate to say, woke. If being woke means seeing systemic racism what it is, and seeing homophobia as the disease that it is, or seeing how we as the simple workers in this wage driven slavery economy are trampled upon by the bankers and glorified railroad barons of the present day, to see the military power of this country as the devastating, colonizing force of Empire being internationally forced or coerced into communities and societies around the world. The American flag has become a symbol of Terror. So you're absolutely God damn right I'm woke. Only people filled with deceit and have more greed in their bloodstream than human compassion don't know what woke is or vehemently fight anything called woke. As I myself protest against our crumbling society I must always remember that I am a product of this dystopia and perhaps only by sheer luck I was born privileged. white boy heaven. Im as sorry for that as I can be. I remember my fist message of this was in 5th grade. I was going to lakeland and in home economics sitting across from me was this beautiful, charming wonderful girl. I really liked her and we started passing notes. home ec was right before lunch where I sat with the white boy clique. I decided to open the letter, no one was paying any mind so I gingerly unwrapped it and began to read it. she was just lovely. I loved her long sexy hair and her perfectly aquiline facial features with gorgeous full red inviting lips Valerie was incredible but I was young and stupid. I never had a black girlfriend and the exotic nature of her whole being was calling to me. I was in love with Valerie and her newest letter was her expressing her love for me.
enter David motherfucking Mckommas. My supposed best friend who felt the freedom to read my letter over my shoulder, then snatching it and standing up saying "ValErie lOves gReg" like a fucking kindergartener. I tried to get it back but the whole table plays keep away and proceeds to read out Valerie's words. she was sat three tables away. she looked at me with saddest eyes I've ever seen. we were both crying. Valerie ran. She never believed that I had not given over the letter on purpose. She never spoke to me again.
I beat mckommas's ass good and a few others from the incident. it didn't make me feel any better. I carried a flame for Valerie all my life. the episode makes my stomach turn. due to my failure to act sooner. my guilt.
my powerlessness. my fear to stand up to the crowd. my privilege. I had no friends after that. friends are a liability.
where ever you are Valerie, I am sorry and I love you.
