Shining Light: Finding Purpose in the Ordinary

In Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s timeless novella, “The Little Prince,” the protagonist encounters a lamplighter on one of his interstellar journeys. Amidst encounters with kings, conceited individuals, businessmen, and tipplers, the lamplighter stands out, not for his absurdity, but for the beauty and purpose inherent in his seemingly mundane occupation. The author’s portrayal of the lamplighter…

Demon's Haven 13

warnings: blood, torture, past whipping, partial nudity (he's just not wearing a shirt), weird thoughts on purity and sin that isn't specifically mentioned as religion but pretty close

—

The blood ran freely. It didn’t drip, no, it poured out of him, streaming down his back. Envy felt he’d been emptied of all he was, that the wounds had opened up some part of himself that was now leaking out until all that was left was pain.

He didn’t know how long it had been since the angel had whipped him raw. He’d never been whipped before. He couldn’t think about any of that right now.

He struggled to draw in breath, shaky, slow. Every liitle movement of his body sent a jolt up through his muscles, pulling at his skin and the fresh wounds on his back. Long, thin stripes that trailed from his shoulders to his hips, criss-crossed over one another. Envy’s throat closed up, choking on air. He thought he might have still been shivering, but he wasn’t sure. Maybe he got tired of it earlier and stopped. He was so tired. He hung there in the chains, his knees sagging, his arms hanging in chains over his head the only thing keeping him upright.

He breathed in. Out. Wished he could open his eyes and be back at his House, away from any angels and torment.

Never so kind. The angel strode into the room holding a crystalline bowl filled with water, a white cloth draped over the side. Envy felt his heart beat faster in his chest at the sight of the divine being, as well as the burning in his eyes that it brought him. Even when it hurt to look directly at her, he didn’t want to look away and leave himself unsure of what might be coming. Would that be better, though, he wondered. To be oblivious, just for a moment? Envy swallowed thickly. No, he’d rather be prepared for what fate might bring him—or at least he could try and convince himself he was. He was a prince of Hell, not a common demon. He wouldn’t be made to submit so easily.

And yet, how he’d screamed. His throat felt dry and sore.

“I am here to clean your wounds,” the angel said, stepping behind him.

Envy snorted, the action sending a ripple of pain down his spine. “How nice of you.”

The angel leaned forward and brushed a hand over his cheek. Such a delicate touch, but it stung all the same. Envy couldn’t help the anger that rushed up from within him—how was that fair? How was any of this fair? The angels have the power to hurt us just by sight and touch and what do demons have? I want I want I want—

“You shouldn’t have such impure thoughts,” the angel crooned.

Envy jolted. “There’s no way—”

The angel shook her head, a slow and careful movement. “No, but you display them plainly enough.”

Envy clenched his jaw, glaring at the wall with indignation. He couldn’t see the angel from behind, but he would have shot her a look straight from Hell if he could. He’d never been very good at hiding his emotions, a skill he was often teased for by his brothers.

“I do not,” he ground out, unable to resist the urge to argue, even when he probably shouldn’t.

“Shh,” the angel said, dragging a finger over his cheek. It left a trail of burning on his skin in its wake. “You must release all that anger, hatred, and desire if you want to be made pure.”

Envy could hear the angel dip the cloth into the water and decided not to respond. He was grateful his wounds were being cleaned at all and didn’t want to make the angel do some other horrible thing instead if he said the wrong thing.

The angel touched the cloth to Envy’s back and every nerve in his body lit up with pain. Envy threw his head back and stifled a muffled cry, feeling as if the wounds were being freshly created—worse even. Fire became liquid and seeped into his bloodstream, flowing through his body and singing it from the inside. He was devoured whole. Diminished, disintegrated, dissolved. Only one thing could rend him so terribly as this.

Holy water.

The angel had brought in a bowl filled with holy water. The angel was using holy water—the antithesis to his kind—to clean his wounds.

“You can’t—” Envy began in a voice more desperate than he wanted, and was promptly shushed.

The angel circled around him and touched a finger to his lips. Still wet, it sizzled on the fragile skin. Envy made a muffled sound, but couldn’t even open his mouth.

“Oh, but I think I can.”

It didn’t hurt. Hurt was a mere word in comparison to what this was. Hurt was the feeling of being whipped over and over again, the lashes overlaid over fresh and weeping wounds. Hurt was the angel’s touch on his skin, grabbing him by the chin and forcing him to look upon her and bask in her stinging light.

Holy water was so far past mere hurt.

The angel wiped his back and every touch sent him jerking away but unable to escape. The water worked its way into his wounds, fresh and raw and awful. It filled his blood, his body, and all that he was and was not. He bit down hard, trying to cut off the sobs that wrenched from his throat. Worse than the whipping itself—to be burned at every touch, to feel such a gentle motion as the angel wiping away the blood but have it all be tainted by the fire that sought to consume him.

Envy couldn’t stand it.

And yet, he had to. He wouldn’t beg. He refused to. He was one of the proud lords of Hell, a demon prince, a capable ruler of his own and others’ territories. Even if blasted Pride got all the attention and accolades for his stupid plans, Envy was still better. He would never debase himself by begging for the angel to stop, no matter what she did. No matter how much it hurt.

The angel didn’t stop until all the wounds were clean, the blood washed away from his back and shoulders. Envy was left gasping for air, shivering once again.

He gave her a smile stained with tears on her way out.

(berserk au) NONO UTENA AS CASCA IS ACTUALLY GLOWING BRAIN GENIUS they're both people who have molded themselves and dedicated their lives to a dream that they were introduced to by a person they idolize (griffith/akio) who they met right after a traumatic incident in their childhood shook their worldview and seemingly took everything they knew away from them. they become unable to distinguish this dream from what is their own idealization of griffith/akio, to the point this person's presence in their lives soon ends up replacing their dream. casca's dream to become griffith's sword was pretty dependent from the get-go, but i'd argue utena's dream of becoming a prince being used by akio to manipulate her into feeling like she has to depend on him and becoming his princess is much the same, it just happens onscreen. most importantly though, they are the reason guts/anthy begins to believe their existence has a point beyond constant struggling and that they can take their life into their own hands towards a direction that might bring them happiness. and at the same time anthy/guts gets them to grow beyond their dependence on akio/griffith and the dream he implanted on them. guts/griffith and akio/anthy are a little harder to compare, though. griffith adores guts to the point of starting to doubt his lifelong dream, while akio at the very least resents anthy for taking the power of dios from him and sees her as liitle more than a doll/tool. BUUUT they both declare anthy/guts as their property in some form or another while deep down feeling Very Strongly about them, just in oposite directions. so there's potential there. i'll admit a lot of these are super broad simplifications of these characters' arcs and there is a lot of important stuff i'm skipping for the sake of drawing parallels without frying my pea brain with anything more complex tho lol

(ooh now that i think about it what if the rose crests were the behelit in this au? WHAT IF CHUCHU WAS PUCK IN THIS AU?)

1. thank you so much anon for this ask and putting the vibes i was getting for their placements into words i agree with all of this except for the part near the end about u having pea abrain i DISAGREE i think ur very galaxy brained for being able to describe this vision for me. AUs dont hav to be 1 to 1 ! thats the fun of it 2. chuchu is absolutely puck 3. i did not think about this until now but i just tried to imagine anthy pulling the Dragon Slayer out of her own chest. help

Hello Mrs. O is slivio is a really possesive prince? Like for example jealous over a small things and demanded to pay attention to him? Btw sorry for bad english hehehe.. i think i would love to play ikemen prince because of that prince reminds me liitle of jonah clemence 🙂 thank you..

Absolutely. I already said it here but there's an event where he literally gets irritated she's so pleased by a book - about himself. Annoyed that she's so happy with a fictional version of him.

He finds countless ways to occupy her time, gets pissy when she pays attention to the 'other beasts', and it's no secret that he can't stand the idea of her being with or around Rio. If there's a thing he needs done he'll ask her to do it, clearly just for the excuse to be around her. He half loses his mind in the event vs Nokto at the mere thought of her preferring Nokto (although admittedly that may have just been to forward the RIVALRY plot).

I see a lot of Jonah in Silvio, for sure. Right down to the both of them having 'mailed' themselves to MC in a box 😂

#mrs o talks #spoiler #spoilers #ikemen prince spoilers #ikepri spoilers #edited because i forgot it was technically rio's mc that silvio mailed himself to

BJYX and The Little Prince

The Tale of Two Not-So-Little Princes

“All men have stars, but they are not the same things for different people. You-You alone will have stars as no one else has them..."

Let me tell you more about their story

DD, since debut, has been called by many pet names such as 白牡丹 (White Peony), 王甜甜 (Sweet/Precious Wang) and yes, 小王子 (Little Prince)

GG has also been fond of Little Prince. So much so that it was part of his Weibo tag since as far back as ‘16

The coincidences and why it’s become a part of the BJYX rumors started ‘18

DD did a book reading of an excerpt of Little Prince for KIMISS celebrity last April 2018

And so did GG when he did an interview and book reading of Little Prince last Oct ‘18

A Little Prince cake topper was also seen in one of the events attended by DD for Gank Your Heart.

After winning his first solo song, Satisfied, GG also posted the song Children of A Miracle which had an image of a little prince with a red cape

GG later on posted this photo of himself, similar to the Litte Prince, posted after they finished the shooting for Oath of Love. The flowers on the left photo are rumored to be from DD

For GG’s ‘18 birthday, which he celebrated with DD and another co-star in The Untamed, we know that Cake Daily claimed that they made several of the bday cakes for GG, a couple of which are inspired by The Litte Prince. GG’s fans did claim they had these cakes made for GG, but til date, we don’t know which ones. There’s a rumor that one cake with the Litte Prince design that was chosen by GG in his birthday post is from DD

Last Jan ‘20, GG added The Little Prince to his Weibo avatar.

When GG sang Stars in the Sun 阳光下的星星 last Jan ‘20, there was a liitle prince as his background stage

Over the years, GG has drawn some more artwork related to The Little Prince. The artwork on the right is rumored to have a hidden image of them.

The most recent appearance of the Little Prince, which is what inspired me to write this post, was in a Feb ‘21 Weibo post of TTXS showing all of DD’s favorite things, and guess what, there is a Little Prince figurine in the shelf.

A Liitle Magic Always Helps

A Liitle Magic Always Helps

Moving on from murderous tales and creepy characters, I’ve been watching “The Adventures of Merlin” on Netflix with flashing swords and mythic magic. The impish young Merlin honing his magical skills in secret in the days when Arthur was a prince of Camelot and Merlin was an apprentice to the court physican, is a treat to watch. Taking more than poetic license with White’s Once and Future King…

Japanese street fashion

The first style is Lolita. Which is a heavily inspired Victorian and Rococo style. most of this style is poofy dresses with frills and lace with pettycoats and blouses. Within the lolita style there are different sub styles. One is sweet lolita which is extremely childlike with the dresses covered in baby animals or lace and bows. Sweet Lolita is inspired by victorian childrens clothing. The socks are usually frilled and can be from the ankle to thigh hight. Most of the dresses are pastel colours with lace, frills and are accompanied by cute purses and large head bows. Another sub style is Gothic Lolita which is everything gothic added to sweet lolita for example the dresses have crosses and bats with printed gothic images on the desses. The male counterpart of the lolita style is called Kodona. They wear "prince pants" which are short capri-style pants usually cut off at the knee with lace cuffs. They also wear top hats and masculin blouses.

The next style is Kogal which is based off high school uniforms but with a shorter skirt and loose socks, with sometimes dyed hair and scrunchies. They also have sometimes bright eyeshadow and bright earings. There isnt much on Kogals because it is slowly going out of fashion.

The last style is called ganguro which typically includes brightly coloured outfits, mini skirts, tie-dyed sarongs. They have bleached hair, a deep tan, fake eyelashes, black and white eyeliner, lots of jewlery and platform shoes. I dont really like this style since it makes the people who wear it look like bamby and its a liitle bit too much.

So 19th of November I saw Dimash in London, because his DQ show! I will tell everything under read more. So if you are interested just read it and maybe comment too!

I went to concert with my mom. She has been fan almost same time as me so it was nice to go there with someone. The queue line up was long even before we went there. In queue different Dimash fanclubs gave different things for fans like banners, pins, photos etc. So yeah Dears are very dedicated people! And nice too. 

When concert did start Dimash came out and he looked maybe liitle bit shy. I understand because it was new experience for him. But after few songs he was on fire!!! But on the first second fans were on fire and every one went wild. 

I can’t list all songs which Dimash sang and I’m sorry of that!! He did sang 29 songs and his sister sang one when he went to change clothes and took little break. But songs which I remember he sang is Screaming (omg that rap part!!), All By Myself, MJ Tribute (which includes Billie Jean, Dangerous, Earth Song), Show Must Go On, Daididau, Adagio, Көркемім, 熱鬧星球 and S.O.S for Denis Ten. 

S.O.S was so emotional and that video of Denis in screen was just absolutely beautiful. And it really got me tears when Dimash looked at Denis. 

For nicer things! Dimash has so much energy when he sang faster songs. For ballads it was so emotional every time no matter in which language he sang. His voice is absolutely amazing and you need to hear it live so you can understand his voice better! And I loooved when he played dombra and his costume for that was amazing. He did look like prince. 

Dimash did talk a lot in English, but he did speak some Kazakh too. He even taught his fans to how to say “I love you” in Kazakh. 

And it was so cute when he talked about his parents and then he did ask where his parents are, but he didn’t see them at first. He kept asking that many times. Then his mom stood up and he saw them. 

It was cute too when someone screamed “I love you” and Dimash answered “I love you more.” 

Only minus was that there weren’t encore. It was little bit strange but whole concert was absolutely amazing!!

and after all this I need to tell you that I saw Dimash at the Heathrow airport in Saturday. I can’t believe that I shook his hand, he hugged me and I even have his autograph. I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT!! And he was so close and he was so gorgeous and charming. He even asked me “How are you?” but I didn’t hear that (I heard it from my video) and he just smiled when I said thank you in Kazakh. His smile was so sweet.

I can really say that Dimash is warm, full of love, polite, charming and so many other adjectives that if I would say all this list would be too long :’D 

You can see 4 videos here. 

All this made me love him even more. I didn’t know it was possible but yeah it was. This have been amazing thing in my life and honestly I haven’t been this happy in long time. 

So I can say is, thank you Dimash!

Since I found out Mystery Science Theater 3000 was going to be featuring new episodes, I decided to show you a few scenes of one of the movies they featured. Titled "Jack Frost" , this film was featured during one of the syfy channel seasons and appeared to be mostly about a Cinderella like character (not sure how to spell her name, but her stepmother called Naska or a liitle witch) and the hero Ivan Nukska(?) Who had the strength of Hercules and started out with vanity and arrogance of Gaston, although he wasn't a really bad person. The story starts in spring where we see the very unattractive stepsister, Marfuska sleeping in a comfy bed that rocked like a cradle and the stepmother making the beautiful daughter knit socks and since she was making "too much noise with her knitting" made her knit outside all night and warned her if she didn't finish her stepsister's socks before the rooster crows, she would tear out her braided hair. The Cinderella character eventually gets the socks done thanks to kindly requesting the dawn to wait until she was done knitting, but even after she done what her stepmother told her to do, the cruel old woman tells the girl she would find much harder work for her to do and tells her to to take care of the livestock. Then the movie cuts to another farmhouse where the hero, Ivan decides to apparently set out on a journey as who I think was his mother gives him some bread and tells him to remember to respect the elderly,not harm the weak and whatever before he leaves. But as he walks through the woods, Ivan runs into a group of bandits armed with clubs threatening to rob him. Ivan simply smiles and lets the robbers rob him and while they were greedily eating the lunch his mother packed him, Ivan tosses the bandits' weapons so high in the air it would take them until next winter to come back down. Thus leaving the bandits nearly speechless. Then Ivan runs into a gnome-like fairy called in this version, at least Father Mushroom who playfully vanishes calling out the hero's name. When The fairy reveals himself, Ivan asks if the old man was a sorcerer to which the fairy responds that he dabbles with his magic but it gets boring and then ask Ivan to play a game with him offering a bow and arrows to Ivan if he did. Ivan agrees and the fairy begins to play hide 'n seek which Ivan eventually loses at, but gets the bow and arrows anyway. Then the old fairy tells Ivan to thank him while bowing before him. Ivan refuses saying "The bear will bow before you,but not Ivan." He then leaves the fairy as he prophesied, " The bear will bow before me, but it'll be your back that will bend." Ivan eventually had his head turned into a bear trying to impress the Cinderella character and went to apologize to the fairy bowing before him, and the old man tells him in order to be changed back to normal, he had to do a good deed for someone. Ivan misunderstands, not knowing it had to be out of the kindness of his own heart and goes off trying to help anyone he could find only to end up terrifying a group of little girls looking for edible mushrooms and a homeless panhandler pretending to be blind and crippled. After helping an elderly blind woman, Ivan becomes frustrated and as he walked by where he met the old woman only to realize she forgot her walking stick and in just selflessly thinking about helping the woman, the spell was broken and Ivan got his human face back without him even noticing. The old woman apparently was one of the old fairy's tricks because afterwards the walking stick vanished and when Ivan found he was human once again, he decides to look for the girl he fell in love with. The Cinderella character. The movie then cuts to winter where the father, by the stepmother's orders, is sending his own daughter out in the woods because she is upset her own hideous daughter couldn't get a husband no matter how much she dressed her own daughter to be pretty and dressed the Cinderella daugher to look unattractive ( to be honest, making Marfuska look pretty made her look more like a clown as pictured above). The father decided not to abandon his only daughter and turned the sled around ready to tell his surly wife off. But the girl sneaked off the sled not wanting her stepmother to to get even angrier with her father and eventually takes shelter under a huge pine tree. And then, right in the middle of the movie, the title character Jack Frost appears, looking more like Santa Claus in a blue outfit. As he frosts the trees with his magic scepter he finds the girl freezing to death under the pine tree. Enchanted by her beauty, the old frost sprite asks if she is okay to which she replies that she is not wishing to ask Jack for help nor to be selfish. Jack is pleased by the girl's selflessness and humble attitude and kindly give her his coat to keep her warm. To try to make this already long story short, Jack takes the girl to his cabin, Ivan runs into a witch looking for her, the old witch sends a fuzzy black cat to trick the girl into accidentally touching Jack Frost's magic sceptre, Ivan breaks the eternal sleep spell caused by the sceptre, Ivan and the Cinderella character get a beautiful sleigh pulled by snowy white horses and a dowry of gems, the stepmother then sends Marfuska with food and drink hoping Jack Frost would betroth the horrible girl to a prince and return with a larger dowry only to return with a pig drawn sled and a chest full of magpies for behaving like a brat with Jack Frost and also because she was as ugly as her attitude. I really didn't mean for this post to be this long, and I left out as many details as I could, not wanting to spoil the ending. But that's the plot of the movie as I saw on MST3K. I was especially amused when they showed the stepdaughter and commented that she looked like Tom Petty. However, since the series is apparently only going to be on Netflix, I'm a little disappointed. I cannot afford Netflix and I'm a diehard fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Maybe I might get them on DVD, maybe?
