It’s alright I should’ve been more clear about which post it was! I am thinking about a monster König and Ghost fight for reader now though😳
okay imma be real, I used this as an excuse to write about monster! König because I'M NOT OKAY
I've seen someone on Twitter or tiktok say that König is just a barely domesticated alternate and honestly? Yeah <3
When I called Monster! Ghost a menace, then you haven't met König, absolutely shameless and nasty, the ultimate menace to society and you too, once you show him any sign of kindness you're not getting rid of him.
He's a shadow creature too but jesus christ he's terrifying. You know how alternates (from Mandela Catalogue) are almost always shown to be just those vaguely shaped dark masses lurking in the darkness with their eyes being the most pronounced feature? That's König. He's fucking terrifying, his wide eyes trailing after you from the dark tree line in the evening when you're doing some chores like last minute watering your plants or watching you from behind the curtains at night when you're entertaining yourself with a book or show.
It's honestly very unnerving, the feeling of someone clearly watching you but the second you turn around there's nothing there, yet you could swear you saw something move right in the corner of your eye.
As for König's and Ghost's rivalry, it's more of a 'who's more bold and cunning and who can hide better'. It's a dick measuring contest tbh. Ghost will boast about snatching some of your clothes and mocking the bigger male but then König performs the biggest 'fuck you' move and...reveals himself to you. More or less.
He comes to you one day as a kind of questionable creature, like a small land-octopus-something with huge begging eyes and you just can't leave it alone :(( You have no clue what this creature may be but your heart broke at the pathetic sight; the little one covered in bruises and dirt and making tiny hurt noises so you just had to take it in!
Of course just as you picked König up (his transforming ability finally coming handy) and carried him home to give him a bath and take care of his 'injuries' König looked over your shoulder and have Ghost the nastiest, most smug look he could manage in this form and he could almost hear the angry yells and bellows in Ghost's mind as he had to watch König snuggle closer to your breast :(((

the multilinguality of a lot of the witcher characters is something i love and also probably a feature resulting from sapkowski being a polyglot himself as well as creating a fantasy world that mimics the real one.
it’s a more obvious and crucial element in the hussite trilogy, but i think that it’s also significant in the witcher, too.
languages are not as simple as belonging to one people group. for instance, one can know one dialect of elder speech and be fluent in it, but struggle to communicate in another dialect.
there’s various dialects of elder speech, the first being the classical, the one spoken by elves. another one is nilfgaardian. another one is skellige jargon. another one is brokilonian… and there is an entire variant of elder speech used by mer-people and sea creatures, but it is sung, with one’s musicality, melody, and intonation affecting their accent.
and elder speech is needed for specific activities. if you cast spells? if you’re a human, you need to know classical elder speech, because the human way of casting spells requires incantations and hand gestures.
if that wasn’t enough, the concept of languages dying out and intermingling and evolving is also touched on.
for instance, the dwarvish language exists, but is quickly being forgotten as assimilation into human settlements becomes more and more common, and youngsters are reluctant to speak their own language
another example of time and the mixing of groups affecting the evolution of language is in the north case, a mountainous region in which nilfgaardian and northern tongues have been mixing for the past couple of decades due to imperialism and nilfgaardian expansion northward. and owing to this is an eruption of new slang using words from nilfgaardian has entered the local tongue.
(this part is just a headcanon:) there’s probably a lot of local languages and dialects, from regions the nilfgaardian empire consumed, that are various stages of dying because some places were conquered hundreds of years ago and some were conquered only a few decades ago
there’s even more obscure languages like the vampire language which is only known to us in a nauseatingly menacing, terror-inducing song and… an untranslatable pun.
what’s more is the curious use of latin words and phrases used as one mught use them today; for which, of course, the out-of-universe explanation is that sapkowski is addicted to using latin, but, in-universe is an ancient language with a similar role latin has in modern society being “translated” to our latin, just like the common tongue is being “translated” to polish.
and what i love the most about this is that this isn’t knowledge that lives in the background, not touching the lives of our characters. the characters’ abilities (or inabilities) to speak languages affects them in many ways throughout the story.
geralt speaks elder, but his brokilonian dialect is poor (at least during sword of destiny, in time of contempt he seems to have improved somewhat during his month-long stay)… and dandelion had to learn elder speech for his expedition to brokilon, to sing elaine ettariel and speak with the dryads, and you can see that he’s a beginner in the language.
milva gains multiple nicknames in elder from the elves owing to her service to them, not solely out of respect, but because her given name is hard to pronounce for them. and her present nickname, the one she should be proud of, is not of any of her attributes, but a familial title—sor’ca, sister.
another thing about milva is that she is illiterate, but at the same time, bilingual. one does not preclude the other!
cahir’s mother language is nilfgaardian, but speaks the northern common language because of his northern ancestry on his mother’s side. and in times of stress, his mind blanked on northern, as well as when he swore in nilfgaardian.
cahir can understand angoulême’s north case slang, as well as “translate” for the rest of the company, but they have probably run into confusion or frustration—“how did you get that from that?!”
and regis’ language is so obscure, he makes a joke in it to himself and no one else understands, but he still is clearly amused by it. and vampires seemingly also do not speak with their mouths, only using telepathy, so the acquisition of human language must have been a challenge for him. and i wonder how many human languages he’s learned only to later face their extinction. perhaps when he came back from the grave, the human language he had learned was now defunct, or rarely used?

TBOSAS AU ✨CRACK! TAKE✨: The 10th HG Mentors According to Drunk Dean Highbottom. (Part 1)
⭐️❄️⭐️
In my TBOSAS Crack!AU (Read [this] & [this] for context), Drunk!Casca Highbottom has a major problem when it comes to pronouncing people’s names right (intentionally and unintentionally). Many even accepted the fact that the Dean just gave up correcting himself after the last PTA meeting.
Moreover, most of the time, drunk Highbottom thinks that his top student, Coriolanus Snow is the 2nd coming of the ever gorgeous Crassus Xanthos Snow. And yes, Crassus was in fact Casca’s former super dead lover, drinking buddy, and karaoke pal.
In addition, the Dean hates the Plinths with a passion. However, it is not because they’re District. Casca simply hates them because according to rumors, Strabo Plinth, who was also serving in the army with Crassus Snow at that time, stole (dated) Casca’s ex boyfriend after the infamous Crasca University Breakup.
And now, Coriolanus Crassus Snow is going to marry the rich bastard Sejanus Plinth after graduation. And Casca is still swimming in DENIAL. How the odds were never in Highbottom’s favor.😭🔪
So here are our Mentors according to Drunk Delusional Dean Casca Highbottom (plus with his personal side notes and opinions about them).

ooooh, is it okay to ask more language questions? tbh i'm trying with all my might to not start learning finnish cause no time or spoons, but i keep watching all these great subbed interviews, and words keep jumping out lol. so anyway Q#1 - the easiest phrases to pick are those Jere starts his answers with. so like, agreeing noises? lol (the first one i caught was tottakai, which thankfully is written just the way it sounds) SO there's this one that so far was translated as "that's right", "exactly so", "just so"; and it sounds smth like josnai/jusnai (can you tell i have no idea how to spell it). what is it?? please save my brain, i've been thinking about it for a few days already, and online translators are no help cause i can't spell lol. and Q#2 - i've been listening to the esko interview on repeat (shout out to käärijä supporters on youtube who are doing the god's work!), and Jere seems to say niinku quite often. in chachacha's lyrics it was translated as "like". so is it also a parasite word just like "like" can be in english? are people annoyed at its overuse? is Jere menace to society?? anyway sorry for a very long ask, and thanks for all käärijä-posting!
Heyy, thanks for the questions!
Q1: I think you are hearing "just näin", which means "just so" or "that's right". I might be mistaken though, but that's the first that comes to mind from jusnai 😂
Q2: You're exactly right, "niinku" is a word we use as a filler while talking. It means "like", just the way you are saying ! I think everyone uses the word, but maybe younger people more often. But it is super regular in speech, so he's not a menace. He does use a lot of Helsinki-slang in his speech, which is more noticeable to us Finns 😅
Where I'm from, we sometimes pronounce it "niinkö" bc we country-side girlies are weird like that 💚

The Yaga journal: Baba Yaga in flesh and bones
Tumblr media
Baba-Yaga as she appears in “Dimension 20: Neverafter” 
During my research for documentation  about ogres in fairytales, I stumbled upon a French scientific journal - well a “science-literature” journal - which had an issue entirely about Baba-Yaga. It was the extension of a workshop dedicated to studying her figure, and it has some pretty fascinating articles in it, so I thought of looking into it and summarizing some key points. Its official name is “Baba Yaga, en chair et en os” ; “Baba Yaga, in flesh and bones”, published in 2016. 
The issue was overseen and created by Juliette Drigny and Sandra Pellet, who both wrote articles about the Baba Yaga: Juliette Drigny studied the meaning of words and the effect of communication in the tales of the Baba Yaga, while Pellet’s article was wondering if Baba Yaga was a “witness” or a “guardian” of the pre-Christian institutions of Russia. 
Together they also wrote the opening introduction of the journal’s issue. 
“It smells like Russian flesh!” says the bone-leg Yaga, the witch of the oral Slavic fairytales, as the hero arrives. Passing by the Yaga’s isba is a key element of the hero’s quest - it is the moment the hero leaves the village and the domesticated nature (the fields) to enter either the “deep forest” or the “world of the Tchoudo-Youdo”, filled with bones. The isba represents - according to Vladimir Propp’s analysis in “The historical roots of the fary-tale” - a passage, a frontier between the world of the living and the world of the dead. Half-object, half-animal, the chicken-legged isba can move when the hero pronounces a magical incantation. Baba Yaga herself, a liminal being too, is a being of flesh and bones at the top, but in her lower parts she is just one leg made of bones. This frontier between life and death has been the origin of numerous researches after Propp - including the research of this issue, which also decided to open the question of the Baba Yaga to other geographical point of views (as they touch upon variations of the Yaga found in Romania, Poland and Serbia). 
The first article is a quest of all the spatial and geographical indications given in Russian fairytales to understand the “spaces” of the baba Yagas, and explore her role as the frontiers-woman between the living and the dead.The second article rather explores the “multi-functions” nature of the baba-Yaga, who is never the heroine, but rarely the antagonist, and merely takes place in a system or structure with stable relationships between the characters. 
The third article questions the idea of the Baba-Yaga as a hard-hearted, old and wicked character, and explores the theory that Baba Yaga was an ancestral mother-goddess from a matriarchal society ; an avatar of a mother-goddess that was mocked and caricatured in oral tradition, as a new, patriarchal order was imposed. (Basically, it is the Yaga’s reinterpretation through the lenses of the “Goddess movement” from the USA). The fourth article questions the cannibalism of Baba-Yaga, and how her eating human flesh actually allows her to be described as inhuman, or rather outside of the human society. 
The fifth article, after talking of how the Baba-Yaga manifests the ideas of devouring and castration in fairy tales (through a psychanalytic reading), highlights the Yaga as a “holed”, incomplete, mysterous being where each storyteller can include personal imagination. It also explores how the “devouring menace” of the Yaga  is actually a twisted reflection of the mother that holds back her child, in a fusional and unhealthy relationship - is the Yaga the tool to make teenagers autonomous?
After that we have an article that compares the motives of several supernatural beings of Central Europe, and their similarities and parentage to the Slavic Baba Yaga: we are talking of the hag, of the weaving woman, of the striga, of the snake-woman, and various forest spirits. Yet another article explores the Polish Baba Yaga - the Baba Jedza - and tries to explain the presence and popularity of this figure in Poland. We also have an article exploring the Romanian Yaga - Baba Cloantza - and her various symbolisms, not just in fairytales, but also in superstitions, folk belief and poems. How she fills many roles such as the village’s healer, the devilish witch, the enchantress, or death itself.
Then the rest of the issue covers various adaptation and artistic depictions of the Baba Yaga: Russian engravings of the 18th century, Soviet era movies, theater plays, etc, etc...

In terms of magical battles, the 1900 “Battle of Blythe Road“ in London definitely gets some points for entertainment value, if only for how Irish poet William Butler Yeats defeated infamous black magician Aleister Crowley.
First, some background. At the time both Crowley and Yeats were members of a secret society known as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, an organisation dedicated to the study of the occult, metaphysics, and paranormal activities during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Seemingly very much a middle class affair, other members included Dracula author Bram Stoker and fellow horror author Algernon Blackwood.
However, conflict erupted over the direction that the organisation should take their focus, with relative newcomer Crowley attempting to depose Yeats as head of the Order to gain access to their “magical secrets”. Or possibly Magickal secrets, knowing Crowley. His own experiments worried his contemporaries in the organisation, leading to them kicking him out of the group out of a fear that he would going to use their teachings for evil.
Leastways, on the 19th April 1900, Crowley attempted to invade the headquarters of the Order (located above a shop), dressed for magical battle in full Highland dress, a mask of Osiris, and a gilt dagger. Yeats, an accomplished boxer, was himself presumably dressed less extravagantly when he kicked Crowley down a flight of stairs while trying the premises, or, as Yeat’s biographer put it:
Crowley refused to accept their decision. He went to Paris, and there persuaded the chief of the Golden Dan, a Celtophile magician named MacGregor Mathers, to deputize him to wrest control of the London temple of the order away from Yeats and his friends. Mathers furnished Crowley with appropriate charms and exorcisms to use against recalcitrant members, and instructed him to wear Celtic dress. Equipped accordingly in Highlander's tartan, with a black Crusader's cross on his breast, with a dirk at his side and a skindoo at his knee. Making the sign of the pentacle inverted and shouting menaces at the adepts, Crowley climbed the stairs. But Yeats and two other magicians came resolutely forward to meet him, ready to protect the holy place at any cost. When Crowley came within range the forces of good struck out with their feet and kicked him downstairs.
Upon his retreat, Crowley attempted to later tried to seduce the Anglo-Irish artist Althea Gyles into aiding his revenge against the Order, only for her to reportedly steal a lock of his hair in order for Yeats and the others to cast spells on Aleister to “limit his powers”.
After this defeat in wizardly combat, Crowley would travel the world gathering followers establishing his own magical organisation, the A∴A∴ (pronounced ay-AY), which would continue his own pursuits and study of magic. Crowley himself gathered his own followers, such as American rocket scientist Jack Parsons.
Bonus Fact!
Amusingly, there are rumours that Crowley is George W Bush and Jeb Bush’s maternal grandfather, as their grandmother Pauline Pierce happened to hang around the magician when they were both living in Paris in the 1920s, with Barbara Bush being born some eight months later. This isn’t considered likely though, as the linked article above states, only least because it comes from a single possibly unreliable source and also because Crowley’s practice of sex magic had him write down the names of everyone he had sex with, so her name not being among his... detailed notes, suggests that they never actually slept together.

episode 4 - page turner
- i always confuse this episode with the one about jared hopworth both bc of the similar names (page turner & bone turners tale) and bc there’s 2 jareds (technically GERARD but jonny doesn’t pronounce things right)
- i think these early episodes are so good bc they have all my favorite entities (minus the spiral😔). the stranger the vast the buried the eye the gang is all here!!
- but yeah the vast is so cool and i want ex altiora
- wtf does ozone smell like
- GRBookworm1818 is a silly little name but also i can’t help but notice “1818”🤔 that’s definitely intentional but i have to wonder why gerry chose to use the magnus institute’s founding year in his username. maybe it’s just the first number that came to mind.
- gerry blasting death metal at 2 am is so funny. especially bc he’s kinda supposed to be in hiding right now but that’s not gonna stop him from being a menace to society.
- mary keay😐
- michael crew!!
- GERRY MY BABYGIRL <3 he’s so silly for lighting a fire in this random man’s house and then just leaving
- also i haven’t stopped thinking abt that one person who said “what if gerry isn’t actually goth and we just think that bc the only ppl who’ve described him are old ppl who don’t know what goth is.” and that is very distressing but very valid. but also counterpoint in this episode he wears a long black trench coat and that is very goth. i am gonna hold out hope. he’s at the very least a metalhead like he’s still alternative ok my babygirl isn’t a normie😒
- jon being skeptical of everything EXCEPT leitner is so funny. and he’s immediately a leitner hater too😭
- first elias mention!!!!!
- i lowkey forgot the whole plot of this episode before but it’s really good it’s definitely become a favorite of mine

Let’s conduct a mental exercise. It’s Oct. 7, 2025, two years after Hamas’s devastating terrorist attack that killed around 1,200 people, and Israel’s Gaza Strip policy is in ruins. Hamas emerged from the rubble of the war in 2023 and again controls Gaza, with its prestige in the West Bank and elsewhere greatly enhanced. Israel’s international standing, including in Washington, is in tatters. At home, Israel’s political and social divisions are even more pronounced than before the war, effectively paralyzing the country. Perhaps most troublingly, Iranian proxies are more aggressive than ever before, with regular rocket attacks into northern Israel by Hezbollah and with Houthi fighters in Yemen menacing Israeli shipping.
This kind of exercise is known as a pre-mortem, a technique first proposed by the psychologist Gary Klein to reduce the risk of failure and recommended by Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman as a way of countering overconfidence. The idea is simple. Imagine that a plan or policy currently being pursued ends up failing horribly. Now ask what went wrong. The result is a list of potential pitfalls that leaders can study today to craft better policies.
I learned about some of these potential failure points on a recent trip to Israel with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, where we interviewed security officials and other senior figures. For Israel in Gaza, the pitfalls could stem from underestimating Hamas itself, unwittingly strengthening the group, weakening domestic cohesion, failing to transition from war to governance in Gaza, and undermining Israel’s relationship with the United States.
Underestimating Hamas’s Resilience
Israel seeks to destroy Hamas, killing its leaders and much of its military rank and file. Of the roughly 25,000-strong Hamas force that existed before Israel invaded Gaza, Israel claims to have killed around 7,000 cadres as of mid-December, including many key operational leaders.
Yet Hamas will prove exceptionally difficult to destroy completely, and it could well regrow in Gaza. Israel can estimate Hamas’s strength by assessing numbers in Hamas formations, monitoring funerals and death announcements, and counting dead combatants. However, as one Israeli expert told me, “I would be very skeptical about [Israeli estimates regarding] the number of Hamas fighters killed.” Troops in combat are not likely to carefully catalog enemy dead and may easily count all males of fighting age as presumed combatants. In addition, some people in Gaza may take up weapons because they are being attacked, thus adding to Hamas’s overall numbers.
Hamas is also deeply embedded in Gaza. It has controlled the strip since 2007: A generation has grown up under its control. It works closely with Gaza’s clans and has a power base in the Gaza refugee community. Well before 2007, it ran schools, hospitals, and mosques, giving it a presence in almost every aspect of society. This stands in sharp contrast with groups like the Islamic State, which was a relative newcomer to the areas it conquered and whose fighters were often foreigners with few connections to the local population.
With these deep roots, Hamas can easily regrow, even if the vast majority of its fighting apparatus is destroyed. To prevent this, a different polity must take Hamas’s place and ensure that the group does not reappear once Israeli pressure eases.
Strengthening the Resistance Narrative
Hamas is more than an organization: It also embodies what it calls “resistance,” using violence to end the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza and eventually to destroy Israel—a credo embraced by many Palestinians as well as Lebanese Hezbollah, Iran, and other regional actors.
The Oct. 7 attack electrified many Palestinians and much of the Muslim world, with approval of the attack soaring to above 80 percent in the West Bank. (Perhaps not surprisingly, those in Gaza, whose family members are dead and whose homes are destroyed, are less enthusiastic.) Israel’s aggressive response and the high levels of civilian casualties have further vindicated Hamas’s methods among many in the region. In Gaza, this means Hamas or any other resistance group has fertile soil in which to grow—an important long-term factor, as almost half of Gaza’s 2.2 million people are under 18. Outside Gaza, this narrative generates support for Iran and other enemies of Israel, and it makes it harder for friendly states in the Arab world such as Egypt and the United Arab Emirates to openly work closely with Israel, despite their hostility to Hamas.
A Crisis of Faith
The Oct. 7 attack forced many Israelis out of their homes in the south near the Gaza border. The near-constant rocket and mortar fire in northern Israel from Hezbollah has displaced tens of thousands more. A total of 250,000 Israelis are now living away from home, either in hotels paid for by the government or with family. Giving these people the confidence to return to their homes is an Israeli priority.
But restoring confidence will prove difficult, both militarily and psychologically. Israel must be able to defeat or deter both Hamas and Hezbollah. But “defeat” and “deter” are elusive concepts, and Israel must convince its own people that they are safe. That is difficult given the fiasco of Oct. 7, when Israeli intelligence failed to detect and warn of the attack and Israeli troops failed to defend communities near Gaza.
In the south near Gaza, restoring confidence will require a comprehensive and visible defeat of Hamas; in the north, it would necessitate Hezbollah moving more of its elite Radwan units farther from Israel’s borders to ensure there would be no surprise attack. Israel also might need to station large numbers of forces on every front and provide each populated area with greater self-defense capabilities. Such measures are expensive and are particularly hard for Israel because its military force depends on reservists, making it difficult to sustain a large army in a long war.
Making all this worse, there is a crisis of faith in the political system. Before Oct. 7, Israel was a highly divided society, with sharp splits between religious and secular communities, Israeli Arabs and Israeli Jews, and Jews from European countries versus Jews from Arab countries. The Netanyahu government further polarized the country by bringing far-right figures into the government and by undermining judicial independence. Already, some right-wing people are claiming Hamas attacked because it saw Israel as weak due to anti-government protests. Israelis might support higher taxes to fund the military, an extension of service for reservists, and other painful measures—but not if these proposals are seen as part of the partisan jockeying.
The Hezbollah Dimension
A potential disaster for Israel could occur if a full-scale war breaks out with Hezbollah. The Lebanese group has far more fighters who are more skilled and more experienced—and a rocket and mortar arsenal that dwarfs that of Hamas and includes precision-guided munitions. So far, Hezbollah has launched limited attacks on Israel to demonstrate solidarity with Hamas. Israel has responded by increasing its military presence along the border and conducting small-scale attacks designed to push Hezbollah away from its border and, through a limited use of force, demonstrate Israeli resolve. These exchanges of fire could easily spin out of control, and Israel might even decide that it needs to attack Hezbollah in order to end the threat it poses. Indeed, it might have initiated such a war were it not for U.S. pressure.
The Transition Failure
At some point, Israel will end high-intensity military operations in Gaza, either because it has largely destroyed Hamas or because the cost in lives and shekels—and its own international standing—proved too high. At that point, to avoid becoming an occupying power over a hostile population, prevent chaos on its Gaza border, and stop Hamas from regrouping, Israel will need to hand off at least some governance in Gaza to a Palestinian entity. This might be the Palestinian Authority (PA), which rules in the West Bank with Israeli support, or perhaps a group of unaffiliated technocrats.
Here Israel’s options are poor. The PA is corrupt and deeply unpopular, Israel’s West Bank policies have undermined the PA’s credibility, and the Hamas attack and Israel’s response have further eroded its popularity. The PA cannot manage security in the West Bank without substantial Israeli help, and Gaza would be a far bigger challenge. Yet there are no better options.
A Failure to Manage the U.S. Relationship
International criticism of Israel’s campaign is mounting. Israel depends on the United States for munitions (particularly necessary for a campaign against Hezbollah). The United States also offers much-needed financial support and is vital for deterring Iran and stopping groups like the Houthis in Yemen, which have tried to attack Israel. So far, U.S. President Joe Biden has generated tremendous goodwill in Israel with his heartfelt and strong support after the Oct. 7 attack.
Yet the relationship could easily go awry. Biden is trying to manage a fractious Democratic Party, much of which opposes his strong support for Israel, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is already playing politics with his critical relationship with Washington. The United States has pressed Israel to reduce civilian casualties in its military operations and avoid an escalation with Hezbollah, while many Israelis believe that they need to destroy Hamas completely, even if many Palestinian civilians die in the process. These political and strategic gaps could split the United States and Israel, leaving the latter more isolated internationally and without the military support it needs.
What Can Be Done Now?
Some of these challenges cannot be overcome without creating additional problems and stresses. Israelis I talked to recognize that killing Palestinian civilians increases support for Hamas’s narrative and undermines Israel’s international standing. But they feel that, to destroy Hamas, they have no other option but to pursue an aggressive military campaign that inevitably leads to many civilian deaths. Similarly, to avoid a war with Hezbollah, the United States urges restraint, but an approach that keeps the status quo ante will not persuade Israelis to return to their homes in the north.
This list of potential problems, however, also suggests that Israel will need to scale back its objectives. It may need to settle for regular raids on and deterrence with Hamas and a chaotic situation in Gaza, even as it builds up its defenses in order to reassure its people. Israel must also plan for the long term, recognizing that it cannot be perpetually at war and must preserve its relationship with the United States.

Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind
Tumblr media
Photo: NCR: The cross, preceding the Blessed Sacrament, passes by during a Eucharistic procession on the streets of New York City on Oct. 10, 2023. (photo: Jeffrey Bruno) 
By Frank J Casella
Living a life that is disconnected from what is happening in the world can be a dangerous thing. We can easily become lost in the noise of the world and miss out on what is truly important. By following God's Word, we can find peace and strength in a noisy world. Hearing God's voice will guide us in the right direction and we can start to see the things that are wrong in our world and fix them.
We have to be intentional about this, because it can easily become, 'out of sight, and out of mind' if we don't. 
October is Respect Life Month. 
I want to share with you my personal views about abortion (which may or may not be the views of the CMCS Team). Because I recently was sent an email by a pro life organization asking me to reply to them why I am pro-life and why I value human life today. 
I was surprised to see that by writing down the answer to this question how much I took for granted abortion directly impacts me, and how much of my views are in line with Catholic Church teachings. 
Abortion is the taking of an unborn human life. I think this is a very sad choice someone makes. I also think that it is important to remember that life begins at conception and that everything that happens before and after conception is important. 
The scriptures tell us that God knows every strand of hair on our heads. This says to me that He made each of us individually, and with great detail. This means we do not have the say so of another's life (unless they are a menace to society, more on this below), from birth to death. And, yes, this causes us to make some hard decisions, but also relieves us of the weight and burden if we follow God's orders. And it is up to us as men to set the standard, for a woman can not be pregnant without us. 
A simple Internet search will show you how abortion kills more babies in America each day than all mass shootings combined. It is a clear and present danger to society, and we need to take action to protect the innocent lives being taken. When we value life and protect the innocent, it will help to heal the many issues in our society. 
In other words, we've recently heard about babies being murdered by terrorists across the world, but how many more babies are murdered in America each day by abortion? Murdering another person is a grave sin, no matter what you're doing it for. It's a menace to society when these people are out of control, and they need to be put in prison for the good of society. When we as a country take the hard line against the abortionist, it will help to heal a lot of the other problems we see in our present society. 
Jesus says that He will forgive us for abortion, when we repent from our hearts, yet we still have to experience the consequences of our sins. 
Revolution or Revival
June 24th marks the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and now there seems to be a movement in America for another revolution, so that our government becomes a one-party-system, for example. Yet, there also seems to be a movement for revival, believing that through prayer and repentance, we can bring healing to our land. 
The only way to achieve reconciliation, they assert, is through turmoil and sacrifice, as Jesus himself practiced on the Cross. I believe that we should all embrace the National Eucharistic Revival and unite with our families, our parish communities, and our country in the fight for justice. Working together, let's make this a time of genuine transformation for all of us. 
Let us desire the restoration of the Kingdom of God to this broken world.
14 "If then my people, upon whom my name has been pronounced, humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven and pardon their sins and heal their land."  -- 2 Chronicles 7:14
So now I would like to ask you, please reply to this email (or to contact.cmcsmen.net) and share with me:
Are you pro-life and, if so, why do you value human life today? 
You may learn, as I did, by writing it down what you really stand for. Because, as the saying goes, you have to stand for something or you fall for anything.  Don't make it out of sight, and out of mind, this is too important! 
Tumblr media
"But seek first the kingdom [of God] and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides."  ~ Matthew 6:33

for the star wars asks game: 1, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 21, and 24! any and all that you want to answer!
star wars ask game
1. do you find force users or non-force users more interesting?
narratively speaking, non-force users. they carry the weight of the overarching story on their backs and receive less recognition for it. also, bail organa is everything to me. but i also cannot deny that i, too, wish i could control shit with my mind.
4. what headcanon will you defend to the death?
the power structure on dathomir is not just a simple reverse patriarchy. it still fucking sucks and participates in chattel slavery and forced breeding though.
also, feral is an adult, damn it.
7. who do you hope you never meet?
asajj ventress hands down.
8. what is one thing you would change about any movie, show, book, etc?
i think every star wars movie should have george lucas' commentary played over it to tell people what the point of every scene because some of the takes i see on this godforsaken website... phew.
14. what is your favorite alien species?
the leppi, the rabbit people! they're so cute and, as someone who bred rabbits for years, there are so many crazy cool things people don't know about rabbits that would be absolutely WILD to put in a star wars setting. like, people don't know that rabbits gut their enemies with their back claws, or that they're a rigidly hierarchical gender society with female queen does at the top of the pecking order, or that they will get violent if a rabbit perceived as lower than them refuses to submit. there's just so much about rabbits that i want to talk about forever.
fun fact: in the jedi!maul au, maul's padawan is a leppi a la lop from the star wars: visions lop and ocho episode. maul is, of course, miserable over it.
16. which movie/episode have you watched the most?
i've watched the phantom menace twice. can't say i recommend that.
21. if you could switch any character’s gender, who would it be and why?
anakin, or palpatine. just because.
swap luke and leia's genders, also just because.
fuck it. swap every fan favorite man to a woman and see if fan reception changes.
24. how do you pronounce twi’lek?
tuh-why-lek.
