[guaxinimraccoon]

Agora, a pergunta q nn quer calar: por que o Toby roubou o livro?

MEU DEUS eu achei que já tinha dito isso em algum lugar, mas dei uma procurada aqui e nada de achar o link disso pq eu NUNCA EXPLIQUEI DJKSKJDSKJDS MALZ bora lá

My bud here asked a very important question: why Tobias stole a very sacred and important book?

The short answer is: because Tobias has a curse and he wanted to find a cure.

OMG HOW- calm down, first things first.

As I said before, when Alex and Elisa started to take their relationship more seriously, Alex would hang out in the Colony using a shrinking potion and preteding to be an imp. He was well accepted as one by Elisa's fellow imps and fairies and they never had many problems with his disguise.

But there was this one, powerful, envy fairy who took notice that something about Alex was... off.

She started to do her own investigations and ended up finding the truth out: Alex was no imp, but a human in disguise. Although, to her, this was actually very good news.

Why? Because this fairy - Irwalia - comes from a family that has been preaching an ancient propecy over a century now. Said prophecy omens that, one day, a being with the strongest of souls - a fairy soul - and the strongest of bodies - a human body - would be born to free the Colony from it's decades of war.

There are a lot of fairy families that preach this prophecy till this day, but all of them are taken as delusionals by most of the Colony's inhabitants. It's impossible to have a being that has a different soul from it's body, it just can't happen. But they hold onto their beliefs firmly regardless.

When Irwalia learned the truth about Alex, she couldn't help but be ecstatic: she had finally found a human inside the Colony's walls. And, if SHE was the one who discovered him first, then she must be the one meant to give birth to this prophetic child… right?

In a vengeful and spiteful spirit, Irwalia decided to not report Alex to the Colony's authorities, but instead take her anger out on what the human and his imp wife treasured the most: their only child.

Alex and Elisa didn't took long to find Toby, afterall she wanted to take her revenge in front of them...

Irwalia cursed Toby with something that not only breaked Alex's heart, but made the child defenseless if he ever encountered a human: if in close proximity to a human, Toby is completely unable to do any kind of magic.

This may not sound like a big deal, but imps, especially imp borrowers, take great advantage from their magic abilities to protect themselves from the sight of humans and their malicious intents. And, of course, Toby would never be able to obtain his full magic potential (which he has a lot of) around his own father.

Aside from all that, his hair is now bright blue, a side effect of the curse that makes it difficult for him to hide from humans and dangerous animals.

Toby grew up not being allowed to leave the Colony EVER because of his curse. So when he became an adult, after getting involved in a lot of trouble inside the Colony, being the little thief and vagabond that he is, he thought-

Unfortunately, he never had the chance to actually seek a cure for his curse in the book because he was discovered for his theft before that, yeah, it was all kind of pointless, he truly sucks at hiding.

Huh, I also wonder why it worked...

I have shown you the Reunion Dinner (团圆饭) we had two weeks earlier due to my brother having to go oversea for his company’s training trip. Behold, here is another of our reunion dinner, albeit the home-cooked version. You saw the char siu, roasted chicken and roasted pork mum bought for the prayer earlier in the day so naturally those appeared on the dinner table. As one of my brother and his family plus my sister’s friend will be coming over, mum added extra dishes to the menu. It is not as luscious as the feast we had at the restaurant but nonetheless, it is still a scrumptious and delectable meal.

A simple Cabbage Stir-Fry with premium ingredients of canned baby abalones and scallops. Sis-in-law was commenting on the cabbage being sweet tasting. Ended up this dish emptied of the food saved for a few pieces of the abalones.

Sis was saying mum sliced the Char Siu too thickly but I on the other hand found them just nice as it offered a better texture. Sweet, charred with a smoky taste and just fatty enough to make it a wonderful eat. The Roasted Chicken (deep-fried actually) was well seasoned and succulent to go with the steamed white rice.

These extra-large Steamed Tiger Prawns were bought in Batam and delivered to our house. As the prawns were fresh, mum just steamed it without any condiment. After deshelling, we added some minced ginger sauce before sending it straight into the mouth.

Another seafood that brother order for us from Batam is this large Red Snapper which is done in a spicy style. Mum only made used of the tail portion as the fish is too big to cook properly in the wok she is using. Fresh and sweet tasting with a little spiciness made this a good dish.

Mum also prepared one of her specialties, Braised Five-Spice Pork Belly with shiitake mushrooms and hardboiled eggs. For the soup, it is Pork Ribs Soup with fried pig tendons, fish balls, corn, lettuces and dried scallops to sweeten it.

The side dishes are Pickled Daikon and spicy Nyonya Achar which is a South Asian pickled food made from a variety of vegetables and fruits preserved in brine, vinegar, edible oils and various South Asian spices.

Even though I took a little of everything, I still ended up with a Full Plate. As I slowly tucked into my meal, are you also enjoying your reunion dinner?

Kuroo x Desi!reader

Request: Kuroo with a poc/ south Asian exchange student in college. Smart witty mathematics major. (NSFW or SFW) Request by: @thefuckwasmyname

A/n: This is a grammatical abomination in terms of punctuations amongst other things. Also, is “ofcourse” an indian word of sort? Because autocorrect throws a fit and always denies that this word exists. Edit: got the error, dw I fixed it, of course.

Note: Italics are the dialogues. First dialogue is always Kuroo’s.

Word count: 1.1k

New student in the middle of the semester. You couldn’t go ignored at all. Specifically by a certain topper of the class.

Afterall you put his sport scholarship at risk. How could he ignore you.

So when that one common course came along, he saw this as an opportunity.

To flirt with you.

Because in his head, it wasn't the curiosity of seeing pretty little earrings or the little dot between your eyebrows or that pretty smile that attracted him to you; it was the fact that he wanted to win. Or maybe both.

Graciously failed to flirt as soon as he saw what you were working on.

The complex problem that your professor had assigned. THE COMPLEX PROBLEM. One which, even he, could not solve.

No matter how many times he tried to derivate. But you, were nearing the answer. That’s just not acceptable now is it.

So, now he had to distract you, the stakes were higher.

So when he saw the chance, he started the debate with you. To try and prove you wrong.

“Chain rule”

“Product rule”

“Chain rule”

“Product rule”

“Chain rule”

It was in fact the chain rule. And you were in fact right. Kuroo just didn’t want to admit it.

(Read the note before this pls)

“You are wrong you know.”

“No I am not. It is solvable by only chain rule.”

“Okay, let me convince you? I have a free lecture post lunch and before practice. “

“You could try. You will be wrong. “

That’s how your first date went. Him trying to convince him that he is right and you just sitting there trying to show him the solved version.

It became a routine of sort.

Him bringing you questions and then starting debates over them. Which turned into you sharing the questions you couldn’t solve as well

Eventually, just that one lecture was not enough to be debating over problems of all things.

So you took over each other’s lunches as well.

That’s when Kuroo discovered, your cooking

Let’s just say, for his stomach and his heart, there was no going back.

Achar from the side tiffin, getting over quicker than it was before. You reciprocated of course.

He had to buy pocky more often now.

I saw this math meme yesterday

Show

No

Huh

No

Why’d you tell me then?

Give your number, it’s a visually funny one

Or you could just show it to me from your phone

No

Fine, give your phone here

That’s how he took down your number.

A lot of stolen ladoos later….

Texting you things other than just problems started to make sense now.

His favourite being texting you indian food content he finds.

Yours being sending him kitten content in order to influence him into keeping one.

You see, your rental doesn’t allow pets. But his does.

And you had found the most adorable black cat near the campus.

He gives in in a couple of days yes. Afterall, he was the Nekoma captain.

So you both go shopping for the cat.

You see, despite being a cat person, Kuroo didn’t really know a lot about them. So you were there to help the cat out.

Not for anything else obviously.

They are as a matter of fact, allergic to milk

No, they are not. Back home I used to feed the stray cats milk and water

You didn’t know any better. I do.

No

Yes

No

Yes

I’ll google it

Go ahead

Ha!

What

They are only allergic to cow milk. Not buffalo milk.

Okay what?!

Yes, look

Next debate of yours came with the flavour of the cat food

The vet’s always suggest to start out with the chicken or ocean flavours

The salmon one looks better

Don't be stubborn on this one.

I will be.

Fine, I’ll give Kenma a call, he has cats.

Okay you do that.

Much to your dismay, Kenma suggested to start out with the ocean flavour.

Then much to your cashier’s dismay, his calculator broke down.

You could say that the cashier wanted to do the same.

Its 2080 yen

No, it’s 2210 yen

He said it’s on 20% discount didn’t he

No he said 15%

The cashier had said 10. The cashier himself spoke.

So it’s 2340!

Both of you claimed at the same time.

Did you finish the assignment yet?

You rolled your eyes at his text.

No, I’m on it

Okay, send it once you are done

No

Please

Okay, what will I get in return

A date

With who

With me obviously

No

You dare reject my advances

Fine, I’ll send it

Thankyou. Now that’s more like it

Stop being an asshole, doesn’t suit you

It suits me about 70%

We talked about this Kuroo

Yes we did

It was 20%

No

If it couldn’t get any better, you were also good at chemistry, but decided to drop it due to excess course load.

So it didn’t surprise Kuroo when you could correct his assignment and tell him that he had attempted a 10 marker incorrectly.

You had a fight about it for a while, but he did end up agreeing that it was D-erythrose and not D-threose.

(for context these molecules have similar structure, but not exactly the same)

Once this happened. Kuroo was no longer kidding himself.

He finally admitted to himself that he indeed does like you a lot more than he had planned and also the fact that you were better at math

So when he finally decided to confess, it wasn’t surprising to him and you either.

You had noticed the long stares, the teasing behind the red ears of his.

Because you were doing the same of course.

But Kuroo being Kuroo, decided to be extra about it.

He decided that the best way to confess to you would be to spell out your name and the confession as functions

Spent literal days on it

Even asked you to graph a few small things.

Didn’t tell you what of course, but you anyways helped him.

After he showed it to you, you literally got up and left.

Didn’t even say a word.

Left the poor guy hanging.

Well, he just justified it in his brain that he had miscalculated your actions as liking him back.

He decided to save himself the future embarrassments and never to talk to you again.

Gave up on the idea of him liking anyone else ever again

Lost the meaning of life.

Caved into depression.

All this in the span of 4 minutes 33 seconds that you were gone.

You came back with a “I feel the same” text on the graph as functions for his confession.

Boy lit up.

Deflated again

How’d you manage this within 4 minutes?

You just laughed.

processing grief when no one around is grieving the same way is so weird. my mum & uncle went to bangladesh the day my grandmas passed i only grieved with them for about 6 hours. i don’t have much family from my mums side in the uk, the only one close is my mums cousin who came to stay to look after us over the weekend but had to leave for work. no one else is as sad as me. they feel sad yes but mostly they just are sad for me. and i can’t express how i feel to them because they don’t get it. how can i explain to my cousins that im so sad i burst into tears at the sight of a passionfruit because it reminds me of my grandma too much. or that i cant stand to look at the jar of boroi achar on the kitchen countertop because its the last achar my nanu will ever make for me. my mum will understand but she’s not here & i can’t tell my sister because i need to preserve her mental health too

#but like i know i can say it to them but they just wont get It #they’ll feel sad for me but they wont understand why

大家好! My third attempt at plant-based protein was better - breakfast was yong tau foo and boy was there a wider variety of options. Goodness in this bowl: tofu, fu pi (tofu skin), carrot, brinjal, broccoli and tomato along with thick bee hoon (rice vermicelli). To complete the meal: freshly squeezed unsweetened green apple juice. Full disclosure: the tofu and fu pi had a thin layer of fish paste as a filling; apart from that, this meal comprised of mainly plants - also, why do I feel as though I'm eating like a giraffe when the food tastes so delicious?

I took Pa to a popular vegetarian restaurant when he joined me for a plant-based meal. He chose crispy beancurd skin with sesame rice bento, which came with braised mushrooms and firm tofu and achar (pickled veggies); I had noodles topped with carrot and lettuce and soup which came with tomato, fu pi, konnyaku 'prawns', baby nai bai (similar to baby bak choy), shiitake, enoki and shimeji mushrooms, as well as Napa cabbage. We shared a trio of shiitake, enoki and shimeji mushrooms as well as carrot braised with Angelica herb. Everything was so darned delicious, we agreed to return! Finally, to wash it all down, unsweetened freshly squeezed orange juice.

Back to mammal protein, it's been ages since I had fen si (glass vermicelli), so I ordered some and the stall helper piled a heaping portion onto my plate. Along with my carbohydrates, I had steamed fish, stirfried beansprouts with carrot and stirfried okra. The fen si was so tasty, I finished everything! Washing everything down with refreshing freshly squeezed unsweetened guava juice, I reflected on the recent addition of plant-based protein to my meals. To be frank, I enjoyed the experience and don't mind eating more of it.

I had a unique pork ball along with my stirfried bee hoon (rice vermicelli), bitter gourd and hairy gourd (meals just look more appetising when there's colour). It was handmade with minced pork, but there was also minced onion, carrot and even red chilli in it. I wished I'd ordered 2 instead of 1 because it was so yummy! The stall was generous with veggie portions, so the meal was very filling. To end the meal: hot tea.

Encouraged by the better plant-based protein results this time around, I'll continue searching for dining out options before moving onto how to include more plant-based protein for meals at home. Not only do tofu and tofu products taste good, I felt physically better and had more energy after eating them. They pair amazingly well with soup noodles and a ton of veggies too! I just wish there're better vegetarian options; it's hard to find tofu soup noodles unless I go to a vegan/vegetarian cafe/restaurant or have yong tau foo, OR, I may just need to look harder. 下次见!

On his television show "The 700 Club," Robertson delivered a monologue in which he challenged the president on a personal and political level. Weeks after publicly voicing support for trump's baseless claims of widespread voter fraud and urging Jesus to swing the election for trump, Robertson gave a very different assessment.

Strong's Concordance #439 Allon Bakuth: From 'allown and a variation of bkiyth; oak of weeping; a tree near the grave of Rebekah's nurse, Deborah Original Word: אַלּוֹן בָּכוּת

2 Corinthians 12:5 I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses. 2 Corinthians 12:6 Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, 2 Corinthians 12:7 or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 2 Corinthians 12:8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

"The symbol of the house of El means 'Hope.' Embodied within that hope is the fundamental belief in the potential of every person to be a force for good. You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you. They will stumble. They will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders." - Jor-El to Kal-El (Man of Steel)

Some parts of ‘Frozen’ were inspired by Norwegian culture and architecture. Although it’s not explicitly stated in the movie, there are a few locations in Norway that acted as inspiration for Disney’s Frozen. According to Conde Nast Traveler, that includes St. Olaf’s Church, which served as a model for where Elsa was crowned queen of Arendelle. The Norsk Folkemuseum showcases traditional garments that Disney took inspiration for some of Anna and Elsa’s gowns. Still, where did the name “Arendelle” come from? According to The Fairy Tale Traveler, Arendelle varies slightly from the Norwegian town of Arendal. However, the movie holds much of “the scenery and traditions of Norway. The architecture, nature, attire, and animals all look like what we find in The Land of the North. But perhaps mostly one place in Norway in particular – the Western fjords.” https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/arendelle-norse-mythology-disney-frozen-2.html/

There are a lot of creative writers and artists of all kinds here on Tumblr, so I've decided to start adding some creative writing content from time to time.

Electric Avenue by Dr. Wilfred Waterson (November 21, 2023) In this stale catacomb of flickering, flourescent, vampire gray, my hairs stand on goosebumps' shoulders and they scream out your name while our inbox groans under its dogpile life. 'Cause they know neon Electric Avenue at every 5:02 is the Fountain of Youth of you and me. So, Dr. Flourescent Frankenstein's devious little "Detour" signs can wait til 7:55 just fine. It's a monstrous daily grudge match, baby, and orange you glad we made those plans at 12 noon where we…(whispered about red lipstick and that spicy little number in black)? You've got my back and I've got yours. And neon Electric Avenue will always be ours, so ready that Juliet grin for when my car pulls into the carport tonight; it's 5….

Strong's Concordance #974 bachan: to test (especially metals); to investigate -- examine, prove, tempt, try (trial). Original Word: בָּחן

“Life was not to be sitting in hot amorphic leisure in my backyard idly writing or not-writing, as the spirit moved me. It was, instead, running madly, in a crowded schedule, in a squirrel cage of busy people. Working, living, dancing, dreaming, talking, kissing - singing, laughing, learning.” ― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes.” ― Susan Mallery, Falling For Gracie

“Sometimes, it is true, a sense of isolation enfolds me like a cold mist as I sit alone and wait at life’s shut gate. Beyond there is light, and music, and sweet companionship; but I may not enter. Fate, silent, pitiless, bars the way…Silence sits immense upon my soul. Then comes hope with a smile and whispers, ‘there is joy is self-forgetfulness.’ So I try to make the light in others’ eyes my sun, the music in others' ears my symphony, the smile on others’ lips my happiness.” ― Helen Keller, The Open Door

“For a host, above all, must be kind to his guests.” ― Dr. Seuss, Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose

“There is a noise that is different to grief. Sadness wails and cries and lets loose a sound to the heavens like a baby calling for its mother. That kind of noisy grief is hopeful. It believes that things can be put right, or that help can come. There is a different kind of sound to that. Babies left alone too long do not even cry. They become very still and quiet. They know no one is coming.” ― Naomi Alderman, The Power

“Life can be hard and beautiful and messy, but hopefully, it will be long. If it is, you will see that it's unpredictable, and that the dark periods come, but they abate -- sometimes with a lot of support -- and the tunnel widens, allowing the sun back in. If you're in the dark, it might feel like you will always be there. Fumbling. Alone. But you won't -- and you're not.” ― Gayle Forman, I Was Here

“If you truly loved someone and they couldn't be in your life you won't hurt them. You will pray for them. You will hope that they find their happiness and place in this world. You will want them to have the best life because love isn't about possession, fear or desperation. When you have a grasp on eternity you don't need to feel time is running out. Time is all you have. Love isn’t a game of musical chairs--grab a partner and sit down. It is a search for the right fit for your soul and life purpose. In a life that never ends you will either find the one that sees you as much as you see them, 0r who knows? Maybe, if there are such things as soulmates, God will introduce you, but keep you far enough apart, until each of you fulfill something more important for your growth or God’s plan. Regardless, when you can face eternity alone you will know what true love is and that letting go is not an insult to your soul. You can smile because the person you loved has your blessings of protection with them and God has your best interest also in mind. You will find that person to complete you because God wants you to, as much as you do.” ― Shannon L. Alder

“When I listened to her, I understood: You have to hold out to see how your life unfolds, because it is most likely beyond what you can imagine. It is not a question of if you will survive this, but what beautiful things await you when you do. I had to believe her, because she was living proof. Then she said, Good and bad things come from the universe holding hands. Wait for the good to come.” ― Chanel Miller, Know My Name

“You must be filled with expectancy. You must be awash in hope. You must wonder who will love you, whom you will love next." ― Kate DiCamillo, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

“Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness…” ― e.e cummings

“Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.” ― L.R. Knost

“If we try every day to find that place inside us that can see a little more light and give a little more love, the quality of our life will improve significantly. We all long for love. It is the human inheritance to have such a longing. However, we must discover that in order to find it, we must give it. And when we learn to give it, we find that it is, quite amazingly, everywhere around us.” ― Donna Goddard, Love's Longing

“My inheritance was the knowledge that love is always in the air, always a possibility, and always worth it.” ― Lynn Painter, Better Than the Movies

“We know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation. Our blunders become their burdens. But one thing is certain: If we merge mercy with might, and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and changes our children’s birthright. So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left with” ― Amanda Gorman, Call Us What We Carry: Poems

“You must live every day as if it counts, which means to love all of it. Never let a single one go by without noting the color of the sky, the song of the bird, the face of the one you love best. And don't let yourself get talked out of the things you really care about, don't put off what you want to be.” ― C.A. Belmond, A Rather Lovely Inheritance

“Over time, the stories became precious inheritances that we assimilated into our lives. However, the value of stories is not in hoarding them but in telling them. You take what you need to learn, to grow, to heal, and then pass them on to others who also want to know themselves and the truth. Our stories make us all wealthy benefactors, enriching any who care to listen. There is no thinking one is too rich and famous, or average and mundane, or poor and inconsequential to tell his or her story, and I believe it is something we must all do. It can be to millions, a roomful, a handful, or just one, but there is someone who needs help somewhere, and you are the only one who can make the difference. Tell your story.” ― Marta Maranda, What It Looks Like: An Awakening Through Love and Trauma, War and Music, Sports and History, Politics and Spirituality

“Give me, for my life, all lives, give me all the pain of everyone, I'm going to turn it into hope. Give me all the joys, even the most secret, because otherwise how will these things be known? I have to tell them, give me the labors of everyday, for that's what I sing.” ― Pablo Neruda

“If you are trying to transform a brutalized society into one where people can live in dignity and hope, you begin with the empowering of the most powerless. You build from the ground up.” ― Adrienne Rich

“If you have feelings for someone, let them know. It doesn’t matter if they can be in your life or not. Maybe, it is just enough for both of you to release the truth, so healing can occur. The opposite is true, as well. If you don’t have feelings for someone then never let another person suggest that you do. Protect your reputation and be responsible for the wrong information spread about you. Never allow anyone to live with a false belief or unfounded hope about you. An honorable person sets the record straight, so that person can move on with their life.”― Shannon L. Alder

“Maybe there aren't any such things as good friends or bad friends - maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you're hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they're always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe worth dying for too, if that's what has to be. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.” ― Stephen King, It

“I suspect the most we can hope for, and it's no small hope, is that we never give up, that we never stop giving ourselves permission to try to love and receive love.” ― Elizabeth Strout, Abide with Me

“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” ― Maya Angelou

“The biggest miracles are usually found right behind the biggest obstacles.” ― Hope D Blackwell

“Here is to all the brilliant minds that love deeply, for they write the stories that make us dream of true love. Here is to all the visionaries that create a miracle when others give up hope. Here is to all the artists, musicians, actors, singers, songwriters, dancers, screenwriters, philosophers, inventors and poetic hearts that create a perspective of heaven we can experience in this lifetime. But most of all, here is to the wild souls that the world calls broken, insane, abnormal, weird or different because they are the ones that renew our faith, by what they overcome and create, in a world that needs a sign that God doesn’t forget the least of us.” ― Shannon L. Alder

“Peril, loneliness, an uncertain future, are not oppressive evils, so long as the frame is healthy and the faculties are employed; so long, especially, as Liberty lends us her wings, and Hope guides us by her star.” ― Charlotte Bronte, Villette

“We have so far to go to realize our human potential for compassion, altruism, and love.” ― Jane Goodall, Harvest for Hope: A Guide to Mindful Eating

“Deep grief sometimes is almost like a specific location, a coordinate on a map of time. When you are standing in that forest of sorrow, you cannot imagine that you could ever find your way to a better place. But if someone can assure you that they themselves have stood in that same place, and now have moved on, sometimes this will bring hope” ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.” ― Benjamin Button, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

In CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. "We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

After calling the devastation and inhuman cruelty of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel "Incredible" and reading "The Snake" immediately after the terrorist attacks, Nasty Nazi donald trump further chided Israel just days after attack with: ‘Netanyahu let us down’ His meandering remarks were the most extensive since the deadly weekend attacks. By Kimberly Leonard 10/11/2023 11:35 PM EDT PALM BEACH, Fla. — He criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and called Hezbollah “very smart.” Both less than a week after the attack on Israel. It was, as billed, a speech about the atrocities abroad. In the most Trumpian way possible. Speaking to more than 3,500 supporters at a Palm Beach, Fla., convention center, former President Donald Trump spent nearly two hours recounting how he helped move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and boasted about signing the Abraham Accords, which formalized diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. But he also meandered among various topics, zig-zagging from the weekend terrorist attack in Israel that has captured the world’s attention to criticisms of his GOP rivals, crime in Washington, D.C., boasts about rising in the polls despite multiple indictments and even mentioned the assault on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul. Throughout his speech, Trump, who leads his GOP presidential rivals, painted a picture of an alternate universe he thought would have existed had he been reelected in 2020 instead of President Joe Biden. “Israel would be flourishing, they would have no problem,” he said. “Iran would have never played that game.” Instead, he said, the world became full of “chaos, bloodshed, war, terror, death,” and he warned World War III was on the horizon. He called Biden “grossly incompetent,” and described members of the Biden administration as “stupid people.” He also directly went after Netanyahu, who he asserted did not help the United States in the drone strike in 2020 that killed Suleimani, the leader of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps responsible for secret military operations. At the time of the killing, Netanyahu praised Trump for acting “swiftly, forcefully and decisively” but Trump on Wednesday chastised the Israeli prime minister. “I’ll never forget that Bibi Netanyahu let us down,” he said. “That was a very terrible thing.” His disapproval of Netanyahu drew an immediate response from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is competing with Trump for the GOP nomination and posted on X that “it is absurd that anyone, much less someone running for President, would choose now to attack our friend and ally, Israel.” The remarks, delivered to the Club 47 Trump fan club, were the first extensive comments Trump made on Israel after saying little about the topic during a campaign stop in New Hampshire Monday. Since the attack on Israel on Saturday that has since broken out into war that threatens to destabilize the Middle East, more than 1,200 Israelis and over 1,100 militants and Palestinians have been killed. The State Department said 22 Americans were among those killed and 17 more haven’t been accounted for. United States President Joe Biden has said the U.S. stands with Israel, and the White House plans to ask Congress to approve aid, though the exact request is still coming together and, at the direction of impeached and shamefully and repeatedly indicted former president donald trump, the Republican Party has intentionally sabotaged the U.S. Congress to make it impossible to aid U.S. ally Israel in their time of need. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/11/netanyahu-trump-chides-israel-hamas-war-00121142

Daughters of late podiatrist say he diagnosed Donald Trump with bone spurs during Vietnam War as a 'favor' Erin Donnelly December 26, 2018 the New York Times reported that the two daughters of a late Queens podiatrist are going public with a claim that their father diagnosed liddle sissy milquetoast donald j. trump with bone spurs in 1968 as a favor to his landlord, trump patriarch and Ku Klux Klan supporter, fred c. trump (who defrauded the U.S. government out of federal aid money to build liddle dumpster diaper donnie j. trump's future inheritance). The diagnosis allowed stinky dinky-winky donald trump to get a medical exemption that allowed him to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War; because he was raised to be as fat, lazy, pathetic, and weak as his brothel-owning grandfather. https://www.yahoo.com/now/daughters-late-podiatrist-claim-diagnosed-donald-trump-bone-spurs-vietnam-war-favor-134618527.html

donald trump made up injury to dodge Vietnam service, his former lawyer testifies By Leo Shane III February 27, 2019 WASHINGTON — donald trump acknowledged to advisors that he made up a fake injury to avoid military service, because “I wasn’t going to Vietnam,” his former lawyer told lawmakers during testimony on Wednesday. Michael Cohen, who also worked as a fixer for trump before his election, said he was tasked with tamping down criticism of the military deferment as the presidential candidate simultaneously mocked Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, for being regarded as a military hero. “I like people who weren’t captured," trump said during a July 2015 interview. “Mr. trump claimed (his medical deferment) was because of a bone spur, but when I asked for medical records, he gave me none and said there was no surgery,” Cohen told members of the House Oversight Committee. “He told me not to answer the specific questions by reporters but rather offer simply the fact that he received a medical deferment. “He finished the conversation with the following comment: ‘You think I'm stupid, I wasn't going to Vietnam.’” https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2019/02/27/trumps-lawyer-no-basis-for-presidents-medical-deferment-from-vietnam/

Dusty Springfield recorded "You've Got A Friend" in early 1971 during the sessions for her third Atlantic Records album Faithful. Her recording predates that of James Taylor, but it was shelved until 1999 when it was included as a bonus track on the 1999 Deluxe Edition of her first Atlantic album, the critically acclaimed Dusty in Memphis (which contained four Carole King compositions). Faithful went unreleased due to disputes between Springfield and Atlantic, but the sessions were eventually issued as a stand-alone album in 2015. The song (and two other songs from Tapestry) appear on Barbra Streisand's 1971 album Barbra Joan Streisand. The song was recorded by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway for their 1972 album Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway and was released as the album's first single. The single was released a year before the album was and coincidentally was released on the same date as James Taylor's single: May 29, 1971. n 2005, English pop rock band McFly released their version of the song as a double A-side single along with their original song "All About You". The band's first double A-side single, it was released on March 7, 2005, as the lead single from their second studio album, Wonderland (2005). The single was the official Comic Relief charity single for 2005, with all royalties being donated to the charity. The single was also used to promote Make Poverty History. (Wikipedia)

Touch: "Pilot" (alternatively "Tales of the Red Thread") is the first episode of Touch. It originally aired in a special preview event held January 25, 2012, on FOX.

"Today we'll send over 300 billion e-mails 19 billion text messages. Yet we'll still feel alone. The average person will say 2,250 words to 7.4 other individuals. Will these words be used to hurt or to heal? The ratio is always the same. 1 to 1.618, over and over and over again. The patterns are hidden in plain sight. You just have to know where to look. Things most people see as chaos actually follow subtle laws of behavior. Galaxies, plants, seashells. The patterns never lie. But only some of us can see how the pieces fit together. 7,080,360,000 of us live on this tiny planet. This is the story of some of those people. There's an ancient Chinese myth about the Red Thread of Fate. It says the gods have tied a red thread around every one of our ankles and attached it to all the people whose lives we're destined to touch. This thread may stretch, or tangle, but it'll never break. It's all predetermined by mathematical probability, and it's my job to keep track of those numbers, to make the connections for those who need to find each other, the ones whose lives need to touch. I was born 4,161 days ago, on October 26, 2000. I've been alive for 11 years, 4 months, 21 days and 14 hours. And in all that time I've never said a single word." - Jake/Jacob/Israel Bohm

October 26, 2000: Strong's Concordance #4161 motsa: a place or act of going forth, issue, export, source, spring, growing place, a mine. Original Word: מוֹצָא

A Web search leads Jake's father, Martin, to the Teller Institute, a rundown home at 318 West Tesla Street. Arthur Teller explains that, on his own, Jake discovered the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical ratio concerning patterns repeated in nature: a wave's curve, a shell's spiral, segments of a pineapple. Jake sees vast connections that amount to road maps, and it's Martin's job, his destiny, to follow them for Jake.

"Imagine the unspeakable beauty of the universe he sees! No wonder he doesn't talk." - Arthur Teller on Jacob/Israel Bohm

In the 2012 television series Touch, season 1, episode 9, "Music of the Spheres", Jacob "Jake" Bohm, a mute boy who mysteriously feels the suffering of those along his path and aims to positively adjust their fates, is revealed as possibly one of the "Lamed Vav Tzadikim" by a Hasidic man. In the second season of Touch, Jake and other people who have special gifts are referred to as members of the 36; throughout the episodes they are exploited for their capabilities and are hunted down by one who believes they hold too much power. The final episode features consideration of the Kabbalah and the mystical roots of the legend of the 36. Lamedvavnik (Yiddish: למד־װאָװניק), is the Yiddish term for one of the 36 humble righteous ones or Tzadikim mentioned in kabbalah or Jewish mysticism. According to this teaching, at any given time there are at least 36 holy persons in the world who are Tzadikim. These holy people are hidden; i.e., nobody knows who they are. According to some versions of the story, they themselves may not know who they are. For the sake of these 36 hidden saints, God preserves the world even if the rest of humanity has degenerated to the level of total barbarism. This is similar to the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Hebrew Bible, where God told Abraham that he would spare the city of Sodom if there was a quorum of at least 10 righteous men. Since nobody knows who the Lamedvavniks are, not even themselves, every Jew should act as if he or she might be one of them; i.e., lead a holy and humble life and pray for the sake of fellow human beings. It is also said that one of these 36 could potentially be the Jewish Messiah if the world is ready for them to reveal themselves. Otherwise, they live and die as an ordinary person. Whether the person knows they are the potential Messiah is debated. (Wikipedia)

Desi fantasy characters don't eat bread and cheese on long journeys, they eat roti and achar. Preferably mango or lemon, but any will do tbh. No, I will not be taking any questions on this subject

#banana speaks 🍌 #i had roti w mango achar for dinner today cus im lazy and BOY- #i forgot how much that stuff slaps #but yeah that is fully the equivalent and i wont hear anything against it #like??? whenever i go Pakistan nobody has cheese but EVERYONE has achar #and roti and rice. like. those two foods are absolute staples in a Pakistani village #so if you dont like the curry or cba to make any you just pick out some achar from the big jar in the kitchen and thats dinner #you cannot tell me desi fantasy protagonists WOULDNT take that with them it keeps for AGES

THE GREAT LEMON PICKLE

I am not an expert on pickles. My mother was. The shows like The Pickle Nation on Epic Channel helped my mother in honing her art. She could make the pickles out of anything.

Being an Indian, I am privileged with the presence of endless fruits and vegetables ready to be pickled and eaten as a side dish. Sometimes as the only dish with Rotis too. My favorite is mango pickle( aam ka achar).

“maine, ek..ek martaba na.. aur aam ka achar banaya..to main mar jaungi..main mar jaungi rakesh.”

Wailed Babli in front of Dashrath Singh in Bunty Aur Babli.

Well, if we take the cue from this movie and many others, preparing pickles is taken as an intensely domestic activity. One cannot be professional and smart if one prepares pickles. But, as my mother used to say and as I observed over the last 15-20 years, one cannot prepare really tasty and sustainable pickles, if one is not smart. But, why stereotype it?

There is a reason why some dishes are referred to as grandmother dishes because they need precision. Our generation cannot be trusted with that. My mother had inherited the art of pickling not only from her mother and grandmother, also from her neighbors’ mothers and grandmothers. This activity was very much like the one we got to see in Sasural Genda Phool song. Waheeda Rehman, Aditi Rao, Sheeba Chaddha, and others lovingly prepare spices and oils to put them together. Again, a domestic scenario.

But, what about the people who don’t have nanis and dadis with them? Thanks to Covid, many of us don’t even have mothers, to begin with. Does the tradition die here? Should it? I mean, people (primarily women) working 9-9 on their laptops or in their office cannot and honestly, should not bother themselves with these preparations. So, what should be done? Switch to Goldee, Tops, Mother’s pickles? Or simply don’t eat them. Eventually, we don’t eat them. So then what?

Then, comes the deadly viruses which push us to go inwards and start healthy and traditional eating habits. Back to desi daal, chawal, sabzi, roti, salad, and achar for the good gut bacteria. After all, we all want to live a healthy and longer life. Thus, begins the search for the recipes.

Now, if a person is like me who, thanks to her mother, knows the difference between a good achar and a badly prepared one, cannot settle for a less than a perfect recipe. We turn to Youtube. The ultimate dadi and nani of 21stcentury. If you are a Hindi-speaking Indian, you must have come across tons of channels giving you the recipe on a tap. Keep scrolling and lo behold, you find Nisha Madhulika. I tell you, this woman has literally been a savior of my life. With the wisdom imparted by my mother and her tips and tricks, one can make anything. Well, I know, she prepares only vegetarian food primarily without onions and garlic. But, I also know, that my Bengali friends have their Nisha Madhulika in Bong eats. Basically, youtube is there to save the day, if by any chance you are into cooking.

You must be thinking, why I am rambling about here. If you are a person like me who wants to have the traditional delicacies in your life, you would understand how life becomes without any magical hand with you. Because I love them and the onus of preparing them solely is on me. Obviously, because I want them. Home-made, simple, and healthy. Hence, I made one. The simplest, the healthiest, and the Digene of every lower-middle- and the lower-class person suffering from indigestion, flatulence, etc. NEEMBU KA ACHAR ( Lemon Pickle).

The recipe is really simple:

Take as many lemons as you want, depending upon the money you have and the distance between the market and your home. Distance varies according to the love for it and willpower to go there. If you are lucky, you will find a pheriwala with just as juicy and big lemons as you might find in the market.

Select the lemons which on touch tell you that they have thinner skin. In Uttar Pradesh, one finds the best and cheapest lemons in the month of December- January.

I remember how my mother used to scan the entire market in one walk and then go back to a seller who would have 3-4 mounds of lemons. She would then try to scavenge the juiciest lemons from the mound of middle-range price. Like, 8 for Rs.10, 6 for Rs.10, 4 for Rs.10.

Soak the lemons for 5-6 hours (currently, I don’t know why, but if I will come to know, I’ll surely share)

Cut the lemon into 4 pieces; before cutting, remove any trace of water present. Dry them with towels. they look cute this way and( the jar looks fuller, believe you me).

Take a bowl, add the lemons, add carom seeds ( if I take 20 lemons, I add seeds till each lemon gets coated with 7-8 seeds), add salt. MIX THEM UP.

My mother always added two salts- black salt and table salt. It really takes the taste a notch up.

For my friends who are as beginner as I am, I added 5-6 spoons of salt for 20 lemons and left the matters to god.

Now, the trickiest part is the jar selection. You might want to have a jar that displays how able and desperate you are. I took a glass jar with a wide mouth. So that I could take a pickle out without having my hands pickled every time. WASH AND DRY IT. Leave it in the sun for a few hours if you can. Not a trace of water should be left otherwise your pickle will turn into fungal vanilla ice cream.

Place the contents into the jar. Shake well and leave it in the sun.

If you live in an apartment, appoint a person to put the jar on the terrace and bring it back at dusk. Or if you want leaner legs, do it yourself. Do this for at least a month.

Shake the contents once in a while without breaking the jar.

After 25-30 days, taste it. If the salt is less, add some more; if the salt is extra, blame it on god.

If it is perfect, then what are you waiting for? EAT THE DAMN PICKLE! ( if you are a fan of simple pickles, if not, please don’t call me names, ask Nisha aunty!)

WHEN LIFE GAVE ME LEMONS, I PICKLED THEM.

As the days went by, I saw the lemons submerging into their own pulp and juice. The jar was emptying. The anaerobic fermentation process under warm sunlight took all the shine, shape, and superficial beauty of lemons away. Just the way hundreds of suns would disappear under the sea and leave bright orange radiance, the feeling of longing for love and care, and the sense of accomplishment. What was left after a month of the grueling process was their pure and unadulterated essence. Is this what hardships do to us? Are we submerging into our own essence with the constant struggle of finding ourselves? What about after struggling with grief, the pain of losing loved ones, and pieces of oneself with them? Would we know ever? I hope we do. After all, we are just small pickles in this huge jar of the universe.

But no one EVER talked about me being autistic. My mother already called me (R word) etc but in my family's eyes I wasn't autistic.

Review by Jô P.: Fragments of your Soul by E. S. Erbsland

“Life gave Arvid a lemon, and she made a  Caipirinha.”

(The original review is in Portuguese, so below is a google translate version in English. Original far below, and link to the source here.)

The review:

Good Morning! I'm not one to comment or create posts... But I stayed up until 03:00 in the morning, reading Fragments of Your Soul.

I want to thank the PL and Shifters teams. Well I'll try to make a brief review, without spoilers. From now on, forgive me if I write or type something wrong. I only slept 3 hours tonight... Anyway, let's go.

Is the book worth reading? YEA! MUCH!

Is the book too big? YEA! But I guarantee you all: no page or scene is unnecessary.

Do you have hot scenes? Few.

It's romantic? It depends on what each reader means by romantic.

Does it have a happy ending? oh! This is the cat's jump!!!! What is happiness? Guimarães Rosa says that "...happiness, we find it in times of chance." AND? READ TO UNDERSTAND.

I'll try to explain...The book follows the structure of ALL books that recreate, or create new mythologies. Anyone who has read Tolkien, Lewis, Frank Herbert will understand. I think it follows the structure of Scandinavian sagas (beowulf type), but I could be wrong...

When I started reading the book I realized where the plot was going: first, the protagonist, Arvid is introduced in her world. His characteristics, mainly psychological (interesting that in her case, the physical doesn't matter, because we'll be very interested in Loke's physical characteristics, and only later, we'll notice his emotional characteristics....). Then how she ended up in the Shadow World. Then the Arvid saga begins: learning to live in a new world, new customs, new languages, finding a way to return to the World of Light. With that, we see her interacting with the other characters.

Eventually, we meet the antagonist, who is also the protagonist (read!). But we're STILL focused on Arvid's new life and the challenges and heartaches she has to go through. Halfway through the book we realize that NOTHING is what it seems, and the story shifts focus and we begin to follow Arvid and Loke's interaction. And from then on I can't say anything else, because I'll give spoilers.

But why is the book good? Because despite dealing with legends, myths, supernatural beings, all characters are in the same struggle as us: earning a living, getting a job, going to college, paying the bills, falling in love with the wrong person, falling in love with the person right, wrong with the right person, right with the wrong person, and, above all, live with every act and choice of everyday life. We've all done things we regret. We've all regretted that we didn't do some things. And we've all had to close the past and understand that when we make a decision, we must back it up and learn to put an end to what's over. And moving on, even when we're finished physically, emotionally, because the world won't stop because we're sad, desperate, or in mourning. The world goes on. The pain is ours but the happiness is also ours. That's why I liked the book: life gave Arvid a lemon and she made a caipirinha out of it. She did what she had to do, with what she could do at that moment. And Loke, the god of Chaos, was what he was: the chaos we all carry inside of us: unfulfilled wishes, or very well-fulfilled wishes that took us the wrong way.

I warn you here: Loke is straight-forward. Many will be bothered by things and revelations about them. I read it myself and said: what is it like? But keep an open mind. Accept the God of Chaos without prejudice. We all have a dark, chaotic little place inside us. Anyone who has done psychoanalysis knows what I'm talking about.

Loke represents the unconscious... Arvid the conscious. Only in this book, the id is stronger. It's up to Arvid to bring the balance... Have you read The Power of Myth? The Hero with a Thousand Faces? These books tell us that we are all on a lonely journey in search of ourselves. When we put together the fragments of our souls, we are whole and we can love each other and love each other. So... we can say that Arvid and Loke, each in their own way, were on a lonely journey that, at some point, they found each other. What were 2 paths merged into one. And they knew how to appreciate the beauty of this meeting, transforming the 2 paths into a single one...

For me, the ending is VERY ROMANTIC and the book is worth it. Insist. Read a different book. Books like that are good for the soul. They bring our fragments together and make us whole, with a smile on our lips, because in the end, we realize that we all just want the hope of being happy. I don't pretend to sound cultured, erudite, nor am I a psychologist/psychoanalyst, but this book reminded me of so many things I learned about psychoanalysis!

Loke is not immoral or chaotic: he is what he is. Someone with his power (shifter and that's the only spoiler I'm going to give) can appreciate life, sex, nature, in a way that we mere humans would never understand. What for us is immoral, chaotic, dirty, perverse, for him, is a fragment of his own soul. I believe his emotions are very basic. He kills because he can, he has sex and falls in love (in many ways - READ) simply because he can. That's why he's all emotion (ID).

As for Arvid, the human, theoretically like all of us, could do the same: kill, love, whatever. But what prevents and prevents us is the deep moral sense and innate charity (EGO). Not that Arvid is a completely rational being. She is passionate, violent and loyal. But her moral sense is what Loke lacks, and Loke's self-centeredness is what Arvid lacks. In other words: a soul is a jigsaw puzzle of fragments of light and shadows, of morality and immorality. Of good thoughts, and perverted thoughts. Of purity and perversity. Of goodness and badness. What makes us human is the ability to know that everyone has a light within them, even when we only see apparent darkness. Arvid saw the light within Loke and Loke saw the darkness within Arvid. Accepting this in yourself and in others is the great adventure of life.

But, more than that, I believe the great lesson of the book is: HAPPINESS IS A DAILY FIGHT. There is no such thing as an entirely happy period. Over 24 hours a day, we experience good, bad, bad, stressful, because life is like that. Alongside the passionate kiss of his partner (o), there is the perrengue of not having money to buy the shoe; beside the job approval, there is the hassle of waking up at 5 am to take the bus. That's life. It's knowing how to live: knowing when to invest with everything for a dream and when to put a stone on the subject, because the subject is over. That's Arvid's great virtue: knowing when to insist and when to give up. This is the lesson that we should take for life... because the subject is over. That's Arvid's great virtue: knowing when to insist and when to give up. This is the lesson that we should take for life... because the subject is over. That's Arvid's great virtue: knowing when to insist and when to give up. This is the lesson that we should take for life. Review of Jô P.

Original Portuguese text:

Bom dia! Não sou de comentar ou criar posts....Mas fiquei acordada até às 03 horas da manhã, lendo Fragments of Your Soul. Quero agradecer às equipes do PL e do Shifters . Bom vou tentar fazer uma breve resenha, sem dar spoilers. Desde já, me perdoem se eu escrever ou digitar algo errado. Dormi só 3 horas essa noite....Enfim, vamos lá. O livro vale a pena ser lido? SIM! MUITO! O livro é muito grande? SIM! Mas eu garanto a todas vocês: nenhuma página ou cena é desnecessária. Tem cenas hot? Poucas. É romântico? Depende do que cada leitor entende por romântico. Tem final feliz? ah! Esse é o pulo do gato!!!! O que é felicidade? Guimarães Rosa diz que "...felicidade, a gente encontra em horas de acaso." E? LEIAM PARA ENTENDER. Vou tentar explicar...O livro segue a estrutura de TODOS os livros que recriam, ou criam novas mitologias. Quem leu Tolkien, Lewis, Frank Herbert, vai entender. Eu acho que ele segue a estrutura das sagas escandinavas (tipo Beowulf), mas posso estar enganada...Quando comecei a ler o livro eu percebi onde o enredo ia levar: em primeiro lugar, a protagonista, Arvid é apresentada em seu mundo. Suas características, principalmente psicológicas (interessante que no caso dela, o físico não importa, porque vamos ficar muito interessadas nas características físicas do Loke, e só depois, vamos reparar nas características emocionais dele....). Depois, como ela foi parar no Mundo das Sombras. Daí começa a saga da Arvid: aprender a viver num mundo novo, costumes novos, línguas novas, achar um jeito de voltar para o Mundo da Luz. Com isso, vemos ela interagindo com os outros personagens. Lá pelas tantas, conhecemos o antagonista, que também é protagonista (leiam!). Mas AINDA estamos centrados na nova vida de Arvid e os desafios e tristezas pelos quais ela tem que passar. Na metade do livro percebemos que NADA é o que parece, e a história muda de foco e começamos a acompanhar a interação de Arvid e Loke. E a partir daí eu não posso falar mais nada, porque vou dar spoilers. Mas por que o livro é bom? Porque apesar de tratar de lendas, mitos, seres sobrenaturais, todos os personagens estão na mesma luta que nós: ganhar o pão de cada dia, conseguir trabalho, entrar na faculdade, pagar as contas, se apaixonar pela pessoa errada, se apaixonar pela pessoa certa, errar com a pessoa certa, acertar com a pessoa errada, e, principalmente, conviver com cada ato e escolha do dia a dia. Todos nós já fizemos coisas das quais nos arrependemos. Todos nós já nos arrependemos de não termos feito algumas coisas. E todos nós já tivemos que encerrar o passado e entender que quando tomamos uma decisão, devemos bancá-la e aprender a colocar um ponto final no que acabou. E a seguir em frente, mesmo quando a gente está acabado fisicamente, emocionalmente, porque o mundo não vai parar porque estamos tristes, desesperados, ou em luto. O mundo continua. A dor é nossa mas a felicidade também é só nossa. É por isso que eu gostei do livro: a vida deu um limão pra Arvid e ela fez uma caipirinha com ele. Ela fez o que tinha que fazer, com o que dava pra fazer naquele momento. E Loke, o deus do Caos, era o que era: o caos que todos nós carregamos dentro de nós: desejos não realizados, ou desejos muito bem realizados que nos levou para o lado errado. Já aviso aqui: Loke é direto na fala. Muitos vão se incomodar com as coisas e revelações sobre eles. Eu mesma lia e falava: como é que é? Mas tenham a mente aberta. Aceitem o Deus do Caos sem preconceitos. Todos nós temos um lugarzinho escuro e caótico dentro de nós. Quem já fez psicanálise sabe do que eu estou falando. Loke representa o inconsciente....Arvid o consciente. Só que nesse livro, o id é mais forte. Cabe a Arvid trazer o equilíbrio.....Vocês já leram O Poder do Mito? O Herói de Mil Faces? Esses livros nos dizem que todos nós estamos numa jornada solitária em busca de nós mesmos. Quando juntamos os fragmentos de nossas almas, ficamos inteiros e podemos nos amar e amar o outro. Então...podemos dizer que Arvid e Loke, cada um a seu jeito, estavam numa jornada solitária que, em algum momento, se encontraram. O que eram 2 caminhos se fundiram em um. E eles souberam apreciar a beleza desse encontro, transformando os 2 caminhos em um único....Para mim, o final é MUITO ROMÂNTICO e o livro vale a pena. Insistam. Leiam um livro diferente. Livros assim fazem bem pra alma. Juntam os nossos fragmentos e nos tornam inteiros, com um sorriso nos lábios, porque no final, percebemos que todos nós só queremos a esperança de sermos felizes. Não tenho a pretensão de parecer culta, erudita, e nem sou psicóloga/psicanalista, mas esse livro me lembrou tantas coisas que eu aprendi sobre psicanálise! Loke não é imoral ou caótico: ele é o que é. Alguém com o poder dele (metamorfo e esse é o único spoiler que eu vou dar), pode apreciar a vida, o sexo, a natureza, de uma maneira que nós, meros humanos, jamais compreenderíamos. O que para nós é imoral, caótico, sujo, perverso, para ele, é um fragmento da própria alma. Eu acredito que as emoções dele são muito básicas. Ele mata porque pode matar, ele faz sexo e se apaixona (de diversas maneiras - LEIAM), simplesmente porque ele pode. Por isso ele é todo emoção (ID). Já a Arvid, a humana, teoricamente como todos nós, poderia fazer o mesmo: matar, amar, sei lá. Mas o que a impede e nos impede é o profundo senso moral e a caridade inata (EGO). Não que a Arvid seja um ser completamente racional. Ela é apaixonada, violenta e leal. Mas o senso moral dela é o que falta em Loke, e o egocentrismo de Loke é o que falta em Arvid. Ou seja: uma alma é um quebra-cabeça de fragmentos de luz e sombras, de moralidade e imoralidade. De bons pensamentos, e pensamentos pervertidos. De pureza e perversidade. De bondade e maldade. O que nos torna humanos é capacidade de saber que todos tem uma luz dentro de si, mesmo quando só vemos a escuridão aparente. Arvid viu a luz dentro de Loke e Loke viu a escuridão dentro de Arvid. Aceitar isso em si mesmo e no outro, é a grande aventura da vida. Mas, mais do que isso, eu creio que a grande lição do livro é: A FELICIDADE É UMA LUTA DIÁRIA. Não existe um período inteiramente feliz. Ao longo de 24 horas do dia, passamos por sensações boas, ruins, péssimas, estressante, porque a vida é assim mesmo. Ao lado do beijo apaixonado da companheira (o), tem o perrengue de não ter dinheiro pra comprar o sapato; ao lado da aprovação no emprego, tem a chatice de acordar às 05 horas pra pegar o ônibus. A vida é isso. É saber viver: saber quando investir com tudo por um sonho e quando colocar uma pedra no assunto, porque o assunto acabou. Essa é a grande virtude da Arvid: saber quando insistir e quando desistir. Essa é a lição que deveríamos levar para a vida..... Resenha da Jô P.

slow 𝓭𝓪𝓷𝓬𝓲𝓷𝓰 in a  𝖇𝖚𝖗𝖓𝖎𝖓𝖌 room (𝐒𝐄𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐄, the  𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯)

Can't seem to hold you like I want to, so I can feel you in my arms. Nobody's gonna come and save you, we pulled too many false alarms. We're goin' down and you can see it too. We're goin' down and you know that we're doomed. My dear, we're slow dancing in a burnin' room.

w/ @opaitaon

1. SUPERCUT by lorde.

In my head, I play a supercut of us: all the magic we gave off, all the love we had and lost. And in my head, the visions never stop, these ribbons wrap me up but when I reach for you, there's just a supercut. [...] 'Cause in my head, in my head I do everything right; when you call, when you call, I'll forgive and not fight; because ours are the moments I play in the dark, we were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart.

2. THE HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS by selena gomez.

The bed's getting cold and you're not here, the future that we hold is so unclear, but I'm not alive until you call and I'll bet the odds against it all. Save your advice 'cause I won't hear, you might be right but I don't care... There's a million reasons why I should give you up, but the heart wants what it wants.

3. BEBO LITRO by maiara e maraísa.

Queria sair, me divertir e esquecer você em cima de outra cama. Tento ser feliz, mas os meus olhos parecem um chafariz e não esquecem que te ama. Quando a gente gosta e não tem a pessoa, faz de tudo, mas não faz amor. Saudade eu tenho, mas com vontade eu 'to de conseguir deixar quem me deixou. Ainda não superei, eu bebo um litro e choro três, mas eu esqueço de você, nem que eu beba num dia o que era pra beber num mês.

4. COM OU SEM MIM by gustavo mioto.

Se tem outroa em meu lugar ou se você quer colocar, te deixo livre, livre pra viver. Não prometo te esperar, coração vai cicatrizar e uma hora eu sei vou te esquecer. Se era medo de me machucar, 'tá esperando o que? Só quero que você seja feliz, com ou sem mim. E quando der saudade e for dormir, com ou sem mim, e quando perceber que eu não 'to e que não vai achar um outro amor, vai ter que aceitar que é assim, com ou sem mim.

5. DON’T LET ME DOWN by blink-182 & oliver tree.

You save yourself, I'll save you too next time around. I'm not around, I haven't been here for a while, you know I'll never be back now. Please don’t let me down, you better come around. [...] You take me back to much better days but those better days weren't good enough. You lit a fire that burned me down, now down and out's where I'm ending up.

6. DO I WANNA KNOW? by arctic monkeys.

Do I wanna know if this feelin' flows both ways? Sad to see you go, was sorta hopin' that you'd stay. Baby, we both know that the nights were mainly made for sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day. Crawlin' back to you... Ever thought of callin' when you've had a few? 'Cause I always do, Maybe I'm too busy bein' yours to fall for somebody new. Now, I've thought it through, crawlin' back to you.

7. QUITTING YOU by arkells.

Singing lullabies, slow dance swayin' back and forth, whispering: "what's mine is yours". When you say my name, hits in a different way. You call me out when I'm talking nonsense, and I'll kiss you when I got nothing to say. And it hurts all throughout my insides, I couldn't stop if I tried loving you. I'll never learn, so I'll call ya when I'm outside. You said, "The key's behind the porch light for Unit 2". I thought of maybe quitting but there's no quitting you.

8. BURNING BRIDGES by bea miller.

I've been lonely missing your body, you've been out of touch you're so far away wishing you would tell me you're sorry and you know you made a big mistake. Close my eyes and try to forget you, every time I do I just see your face. After all that shit that we've been through, why are so you willing to walk away? I don't know why I stick around to watch you burn our bridges down,  I can't help it that I need you, now I'm drowning underneath the water that was under me. I'm still screaming that I need you, I can't help it that I need you, burn the bridges, burn them down.

9. I’LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU by imagine dragons.

Took your heart, took your hand, promised you all that I had hoping that you understand I'm far from a perfect man. 'Cause honey it's been a hard year, it seems like we're going nowhere. You're crying inside your bedroom, baby I know it's not fair, lay with me for one more night. I promise you, I'll make it right, I'll make it up to you, every night, I'll make it up to you. I know you don't understand the vices that follow a man and in your eyes I can see the places that you'd rather be.

10. BOOK OF LOVE by jimmy eat world.

I wasn't worried about the small things, tried to bury what they might or could of meant. And as far away as you could get, as distant as you've ever been, you still love me. The book of love is fiction, written by the loneliest to sing. Thinking led to in the best learning things they should forget until the end. So maybe we should plan then of who would go, and who would stay, and when until one of us can say it like it is, you've already made your own bed. I pick you up on a Wednesday night, go out for our secret drive like we were kids. Will we be alright? I have never doubted it before my friend. Are they ever coming back again, those feelings that we started with? I'll give it time.

11. NUMB WITHOUT YOU by the maine.

Let's get this straight, you are apanic in the bloodstream yet you bring me peace. You are a stutter in the heart that beats inside of me. You are my last, you are my first, you kill me for the better; you are the rising tide, you're every fucking thing inside me now. You are the violence in my veins, you are the war inside my brain, you are my glitter and my gloom, I am so numb without you.

12. NÃO VAI EMBORA by dilsinho.

Tudo que é bom dura tão pouco. Sem você aqui, o tempo só maltrata. Os dias são ruins, a vida tá sem graça. Eu não tô bem, perdi o chão, mas o meu coração já tatuou você. E mesmo sem querer, não me dá opção, não sei se te espero, se ainda me ama ou se me quer mais, sozinho eu não consigo saber. Como é que eu faço pra esquecer? Abre essa porta, deixa eu entrar, me dá mais um abraço pra gente lembrar. O gosto do seu beijo eu não achei em outro, um sentimento assim ninguém pode apagar.

13. NEM DE GRAÇA by pixote.

É que não sobrou espaço pra outro alguém. Minha saudade só cabe no teu abraço, no de mais ninguém. Tenho dó de quem me conhecer agora, que todo amor eu 'tô jogando fora e qualquer um que bate aqui nesse meu coração, não passa nem da porta. Se essa boca não beijasse tão bem, se esse abraço não fosse tão massa... Se que saber se eu quero outro alguém? Nem de graça, nem de graça.

14. AMOR DIFÍCIL by ludmilla.

Sempre vai embora, sem olhar pra trás. Grita, bate nos peitos, jura que não volta mais e, sem ter motivo, põe a culpa em mim; e, mais uma vez, o triste fim. E o meu coração, tão doce e paciente, morre de saudade, começa a ficar doente. Me afogo na cerveja, lá se vai a minha paz, saudades do meu sorriso, ele já não existe mais. Procuro em outra boca o gosto da sua, grito "segue o baile", pois a vida continua; sigo mentindo pra mim. Faço a minha mala, dou uma viagem, o comentário é foda, é Ludmilla na cidade. Luzes, sexo, festas, drogas... Me sinto vazia, sem ela nada disso importa. Então volta aí, então volta aí, quero te ver; então volta aí, então volta aí, amo você... Então volta aí, então volta aí, então volta aí, que droga, esse amor é muito difícil pra mim.

15. PONTO FRACO by thiaguinho.

Sou louco o suficiente pra apostar na gente, meu jeito louco pode ser surpreendente. Eu sou um louco, mas um louco consciente, às vezes inconsequente. Eu já 'to doente, quer me maltratar? 'Cê sabe que eu 'to carente, só de imaginar vai bagunçando a minha mente, eu 'to ficando impaciente. Ei, se toca, 'tá na cara que eu sou todo seu. Era pra acontecer, mas não aconteceu. Você 'tá adiando a vontade de Deus, parece que não percebeu que eu estou completamente em suas mãos, sua felicidade é sua opção, é sua opção. Você joga sujo,  sabe que você é o meu ponto fraco. tenta ser feliz mas 'tá fazendo errado, procurando em outro alguém o que está do seu lado.

[zmwrites]

What are the countries and kingdoms and cities of your world? How did you come up with them and how did you name them? I suck at naming places

hello!! i have been afraid to answer this bc i don’t want to ruin whatever is suggesting i know what i’m doing, but here we go!

most of my wips are set in the same world but on different continents and in different time periods. for example, a group that brought the Ukrainian language influence to Draiobia in Indigo Wars is from the area that Remnants takes place in, hence why Remnants also has a strong Ukrainian language influence. except Indigo Wars is set in 719 and Remnants is set in 1674.

i don’t have a map for Remnants yet, but here is the map for IW:

so you can (hopefully) see the different language influences in all countries here. the very top country, without any named cities visible, is Achar. below that is Edristan, then Draiobia, then Echium is the little island off the south of the continent.

then in Remnants, the countries are Kethyia, Yetrar, Vrarok, and Esmudor. the cities (all in Kethyia) are Brenik, Pyarovsk, Lesopa, Marlytsia, and Nemný.

i make extensive use of Fantasy Name Generators when i’m naming places. 

for countries/kingdoms: i use either the Continent, Country/Nation, or Kingdom name generators on the site. sometimes i’ll dip into others if i want a place to sound particularly outlandish, but i’ll open a few in different tabs and click through until i find something i like. i’ll also save ones i like but that aren’t right for the project in a different document to refer to later.

for cities: i decide what kind of linguistic influence i want the setting to have, then find the appropriate generator on the site. i don’t keep strictly to one language influence, bc i prefer to believe that people can share culture and language and space without killing each other. on the IW map above, there are cities whose names are derived from French (West Europe), English (aka the basic “City Name” and “Fantasy Town Name” generators), East Europe, West Asia, and Southeast Asia. i think i even pulled some names from the South Europe generator.

once i’ve picked a generator, i’ll put together a list of names then decide where to place them and how important i want them to be to the story. for example: Nemný is a great name for a city, but placing the accent is a pain (this is from someone who has an accented letter in their first name) so it has been relegated to a less important role in the story.

i wish i had a better answer, but the truth is that i also suck at naming places and allow Emily from Fantasy Name Generators do most of the work for me. i just click “generate” until i get enough names to populate the part of the world i’m working on.

[sulfurousdreamscapes]

I had to wait until the couple stopped holding hands, and the other woman said something and started walking towards the stalls. The woman I wanted to meet stood with her feet in the receding seawater. She tucked her hair and searched for shells and crabs. I had to tell her about the dream of hers that I'd caught.

"Do you remember the banners?" I asked her. It made her look back at me, squinting, trying to figure out what an old lady like me wanted to do with her.

"They were in so many colours, do you remember?" I asked. I'd walked on these sands every day of my life. No one knew how to walk fast on them like I did.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

"Last night, you dreamt about banners and streamers and ribbons. They'd taken over the entire city, and the people were just walking confetti."

Like a statue in the sea, she stared at me without a movement on her face. I've seen that expression before—like I was a grotesque, walking gargoyle, or a sparkling unicorn.

"And your partner was with you, wasn't she?" I smiled at her. "She was the only one who was real, and she was driving over all the confetti people."

No reaction, even now. It happens. Shock can absolutely paralyse your mind like that—it makes you wonder if you're living in reality, or a dreamworld, or maybe even something else.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Ms. Achare," I held out a hand for her to shake. "It's pronounced 'ah-tsuh-ray'. Not 'ah-chuh-ray'. Blame my dad for the spelling, god bless him."

She glanced at my hand, like she was checking for one of those shock devices the kids play with.

"I'm sorry, have I been too abrupt?" I took my hand back.

"How do you know about my dream?" she finally asked, holding a hand behind her ear to keep the hair back against the onslaught of the sea wind.

"I catch dreams, you see. If you sleep at the beach, here, in front of my bungalow," I said and pointed towards the blue-walled building I live in. "Then, the sea wind and the waves carry your dream to me."

She glanced at the stalls now, hoping to catch a glimpse of her girlfriend. "What happened in the dream?"

"Your partner massacred everyone in town with her glossy red car, and you cried and wept, you asked her to stop running over all the confetti people."

"Yeah," the woman said. "Fuck."

"Do you want the full dream? You can have it, the full memory of it, right to the end. If you'll come with me to my bungalow, I can swipe your card. Or if you have cash..."

"I don't want that fucking dream," she frowned at me. "Keep it."

This happens, sometimes.

The partner was coming now, hurrying along in a jog to make sure she caught what was going on.

"That's quite alright," I smiled. "I'll add your dream to my inventory, then. Maybe someone else will find value in it."

"What's up?" The partner smiled, and then dropped her smile when she saw her girlfriend upset.

"Just some delusional old lady who wants to sell my 'dream'," the woman shook her head and held her partner's hand.

They hugged each other, tightly, and I could tell that the woman I'd been talking to was upset now. But the partner, she looked at me throughout the hug.

I know a customer when I see one.

Cody - Not So Berry Legacy Challenge ep.6

Eu queria dizer que acordei animado mas a verdade é que eu nem dormir.

I wanted to say that I woke up excited but the truth is that I didn't even sleep.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Eu precisava achar algum esconderijo antes que alguém me encontre e...

I needed to find some hiding place before someone found me and...

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

...tirar um cochilo antes da aula começar.

...take a nap before class starts.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

"Não faça contato visual, apenas abaixe a cabeça e vá para sala."

"Don't make eye contact, just put your head down and go to class."

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

"Sente-se no fundo e tente parecer bem"

"Sit at the bottom and try to look good"

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

"Mas não bem o suficiente para chamar a tenção"

"But not well enough to draw attention"

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

"Se nenhuma dessas regras funcionar ande pelos corredores focado em qualquer coisa no seu celular"

"If none of these rules work walk the halls focused on anything on your phone"

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

"Apenas tente ver onde está pisando para não cair e quebrar o celular, seu único amigo"

"Just try to watch where you're stepping so you don't fall and break your phone, your only friend"

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

"Pegue seu almoço e procure uma mesa vazia"

"Grab your lunch and look for an empty table"

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

"Mas se mesmo assim se ver cercado por curiosos"

"But if you still find yourself surrounded by onlookers"

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

"Não faça contato visual, não olhe nos olhos deles"

"Don't make eye contact, don't look them in the eye"

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

"Fuja!"

"Flee!"

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Eu segui todo o manual de: "Não se envolva nas coisas que sua mãe faz", escrito por mim mesmo desde que tento sobreviver neste mundo. Pelo menos tenho mais meia hora para um cochilo antes de a próxima aula começar.

I've followed the whole manual of: "Don't get involved in the things your mother does" written by myself since trying to survive in this world. At least I have another half hour for a nap before the next class starts.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Continuei sentado no fundo sem abrir a boca.

I continued to sit at the bottom without opening my mouth.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Ouvi um chamado da diretora para os alunos irem até o campo porque estava tendo algum evento...

I heard a call from the director for the students to go to the field because there was an event...

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Mas eu não estava mais aguentando, ainda assim me lembrava que tinha alguma coisa para fazer hoje.

But I couldn't take it anymore, I still remembered that I had something to do today.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Eu tinha marcado de tomar chá com bolhas em um brechó da cidade com minha mãe.

I was scheduled to have bubble tea at a thrift store in town with my mother.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Ela é o oposto de mim e as vezes eu queria só fugir de casa e mudar de nome.

She is the opposite of me and sometimes I just wanted to run away from home and change my name.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Mas outras vezes eu só preciso de um abraço dela.

But other times I just need a hug from her.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Até me dar vontade de fugir de novo.

Until it makes me want to run away again.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Eu tenho certeza que vocês curiosos nem imaginam que está mulher respeitável com um bom emprego é na verdade uma Loba.

I'm sure you curious people can't even imagine that this respectable woman with a good job is actually a Wolf.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Que se transforma ao brilho da Lua em uma criatura furtiva.

Who transforms in the moonlight into a stealthy creature.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Selvagem.

Wild.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

E...ela trouxe o cara do cartaz para casa?!

And...she brought the poster guy home?!

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Onde essa mulher se enfiou na noite passada?

Where did that woman go last night?

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Esse homem é famoso, joga basquete, posa para anúncios de relógio que ninguém tem dinheiro para comprar.

This man is famous, he plays basketball, he poses for ads for watches that nobody can afford.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Para mim, é o fim!

For me, it's the end!

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Eu costumo parar para escrever neste diário à noite...mas...essa manhã minha mãe parecia que tinha rolado na lama.

I usually stop to write in this journal at night...but...this morning my mother looked like she had rolled in the mud.

⭐—————🚀—————⭐

Será que o homem do cartaz que ficava em frente a janela da cozinha do primeiro apartamento que morávamos sobreviveu? Será que é assim que essa história de terror começa? Com o sumiço de um cara famoso em uma cidade distante?

Could it be that the man on the poster who stood in front of the kitchen window of the first apartment we lived in survived? Is this how this horror story begins? With the disappearance of a famous guy in a distant city?
