Because the nature of my work is somewhat esoteric, every so often I'll stumble across something awesome but entirely unrelated to what I'm looking for. Recently, while researching someone from New Jersey, I managed to bump into a 1965 yearbook from Chicago's Loyola University, containing an obituary for a Cardinal of the Chicago Archdiocese with the single most metal phrase I've seen in an obit in a minute:

On April 9, 1965, death came to Chicago's Shepherd of Souls.

You could write a modern fantasy trilogy series based on that phrase alone.

Lines for Atlantis

i.

Atlantis is fine. Just ignore the wave, poised to fall. Don’t think about it crushing citizens and their careful gardens or running loose among porticos. Besides, the wave has been there for so long - you know the gods keep it suspended, holding it frozen for Atlantis, the city they love best.

ii.

Atlantis! who would have thought that this was how it would end: the wave, falling like splintering glass, foam dancing in public squares, salt crusting on windows, the sea we have so long loved and lived with betraying us. Did we anger a god? What offense could merit this destruction?

iii.

Atlantis is dead. The fish enjoy the meticulous care with which we raked our gardens, and where citizens talked politics sharks now swim. We do not exist. The waves have claimed even our ghosts. Was it our folly, to build beneath the wave? We should have known, should have seen, should have moved. We did not. If there are gods, they did not warn us. We deserved at least a warning. How could we have known that the wave, which had hung there, frozen, for so long would finally break?

Also I hope if I get to do something in heaven it’s pray for reconciliation of enemies specifically in the way where they get stuck together somewhere or on like an unavoidable roadtrip and work out all their issues because I love that and also it’s so funny to watch every time

Two identical infants lay in the cradle. “One you bore, the other is a Changeling. Choose wisely,” the Fae’s voice echoed from the shadows. “I’m taking both my children,” the mother said defiantly.

Okay. I really want to know because I have no frame of reference for the average number of followers on here.

Please reblog and share so we can get a nice data pool!

Having an argument with my husband help me settle this.

No nuance. Pick your favorite problematic monarch and die with your boots on. I’d appreciate reblogs because I’m a French Revolution blogger so I fear a biased ratio

American Girl fans of Tumblr, what was your very first exposure to the brand?

Mine was finding a Meet Kaya book in my primary school's library.
