Happy New Year!

Today is Chinese New Year! The Year of the Dragon! What is the Lunar New Year, you may be asking yourself, as I might ask of you, if you were writing this, but I will ask it of myself, since I’m the one writing and pondering this very question! Originating in multiple countries in east Asia, the holiday is filled with rich culture and tradition that centers around the hope for good fortune and…

scopOphilic_micromessaging_1069 - scopOphilic1997 presents a new micro-messaging series: small, subtle, and often unintentional messages we send and receive verbally and non-verbally.

I tried to move the trash can to get a better shot. It's cemented to the ground!

Proposal: In DC Universe, character has to live trough their birth day, the exact day they were born on, to age.

Idea: Tim was born on a leap day during leap year

Reasoning: His age is weirdly inconsistient with others because he literally ages slower than them

An episode/chapter focusing on supporting characters but still engaging with the overall theme/message of the story IS NOT FILLER!!!!

Day 8 - Haunting

Fandom: The Hobbit

Character: Thranduil

Words: 491

・❥・ “I had everything,” he whispered. “And I would trade it all… just to hear your voice again.”

*ೃ༄ Haunting.ೃ࿐ 

Rain lashed against the windows, wind howling like a wounded beast through the stone arches of the Woodland Realm. The fire in the hearth had long since burned low, casting shadows that danced in flickering silence.

Thranduil stood in the center of the chamber, a silver-grey cloak clutched in his hands. 

Her cloak.

The scent still lingered - faint, floral, warm. It clung to the folds like memory, like ghostlight. His thumb traced the embroidery along the hem, the threads she had stitched herself. He remembered the night she wore it last. When she had kissed his cheek and stepped into the storm that would steal her away.

He slipped it over his shoulders.

It did not fit. It was too short on his arms, too narrow across his frame. But still, he wrapped himself in it, as if it might shield him from the ache in his chest. He crossed to the mirror and stared. The reflection was foreign. Not a king. Not a warrior. A man undone, draped in grief.

His hand reached out to the glass.

If I close my eyes... will you appear behind me? Just once?

He turned suddenly, heart stuttering but the room was empty. Always empty.

The wind screamed louder now. He moved through the darkened corridors, his steps echoing against the cold marble. Past the throne room. Past the gardens she once tended. Until he reached the balcony.

The sky above was a canvas of churning grey, streaked with silver lightning. Rain struck him immediately, soaking through the cloak. He didn’t flinch.

His voice, when it broke the storm, was hoarse.

“You left this world a piece at a time. And I remain, chained to what I cannot save.”

The storm gave no answer. Only the thunder replied—deep, hollow, like the emptiness inside him.

The cloak clung to him now, heavy with rain. He pulled it closer, pressing the fabric to his face, breathing her in. His fingers trembled.

“I had everything,” he whispered. “And I would trade it all… just to hear your voice again.”

A sob caught in his throat. He did not let it fall. Kings do not weep. But husbands do.

Hours passed.

When the first light of dawn broke over the trees, pale and uncertain, Thranduil still stood beneath the storm’s remnants. The cloak hung from his shoulders like a veil of sorrow, soaked through, dragging along the stone.

He turned at last.

Back inside the chamber, he laid the cloak in a chest lined with lavender. He lingered, fingertips brushing the fabric.

 “Sleep, meleth nín,” he murmured.

Then he closed the lid, sealing it away. Not as a farewell. Not yet. But as a promise.

He would carry her. Not in garments or in scent, but in silence, in memory, in every leaf that fell from their trees. In every breath that still came, even when it hurt.

Because that was the cost of loving her.

And the price of surviving her.

Wonka

Yes. That’s all I can say is yes. Well, I can also say worth it, loved it, enjoyed it, great story, fun to watch, laughed, cried, felt all the feelings, and we want to know what happens next. Well…we sort of do, because there was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory [2005], and there was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory [1971] [A very good year, if I may add!] And now…Wonka [2023]. Willy…

Wooohooo this post will have me up to date - and I may be the only one who cares - but that doesn't matter. :P

Today was definitely a carb heavy day - but i had veggies mixed in?

Breakfast - Coffee (with the most adorable cup ever) and the hashbrown/egg bake I made over the weekend. I def. added some ketchup to the top because it was a bit dry - but it still tasted good.

Lunch - Spaghetti with mix of marina and alfredo sauce with 2 meatballs and salad with dressing (work had leftovers from Mondays catered food and and this economy you just can't pass up free food)

Snack - 1 Hershey Chocolate bell (unpictured) and roasted seaweed

Dinner - Spaghetti/Fettucine with meat sauce, 1/2 a mini baguette, and salad with dressing.

So my work was going to throw away what was left from the Olive Garden food. There was a whole pan of noodles and 2 full sizes of sauce. I was like shit if no one wants it I will take it home. The remaining sauce I am going to put in the freezer and save for another day. I told Hayden we can eat the noodle between now and the weekend with whatever we want (i.e. leftover chili from yesterday). Most likely though I am going to toss the alfredo sauce after we eat a bit of it- I just don't think that would freeze well. Am I wrong?

Oh, and before bed I had 1 Ferrero Rocher and some milk.

I mean yes today was a carb day - but I didn't feel bloated or run down because I just stuck to having the on plate each time and not going back for seconds.

I know to most this may not seem super healthy - but I promise this is progress for me.
