1: As she lay dying, she told her sister, Yuko, that no matter what she was not to let Takeko's head to be taken as a trophy by the enemy. Yuko, 16 years old, had to cut it off and take it with her [from] the battle. […] Yuko wrapped Takeko's head in cloth, eventually delivering it to a nearby temple, Hokai-ji, where it was buried under a pine tree.

2: "This is no garden. This is my brother and I need a shovel to love him."

3: "I never wanted to go away, and the hard part is leaving you all. I'm not afraid, but it seems as if I should be homesick for you even in heaven." — Beth March talking to Jo March on her deathbed

4: BroBro. Emergency Contact

5: Jinx: Are we still sisters? Vi: Nothing will ever change that

6: Creon. Why did you try to bury your brother? Antigone. I owed it to him. Creon. I had forbidden it. Antigone. I owed it to him. Those who are not buried wander eternally and find no rest. If my brother were alive, and he came home weary after a long day's hunting, I should kneel down and unlace his boots, I should fetch him food and drink, I should see that his bed was ready for him. Polynices is home from the hunt. I owe it to him to unlock the house of the dead in which my father and my mother are waiting to welcome him. Polynices has earned his rest. Creon. Polynices was a rebel and a traitor, and you know it. Antigone. (Highlight) He was my brother (end highlight).

7: mother's blood like a fever in my skin. I carry a curl of my sister's hair in the locket around my neck, and her face in the reflection of every mirror. I carry my brother's words like a scar across my palm, with a tenderness that can only bloom from sharing a nursery like ours.

8: Orestres: How could you recognize me after all these years? Elektra: What a stupid question. I was born knowing you.

9: Ismene: I want to row the boat with you Antigone: Save yourself Ismene: I'll be so lonely

10: Ariadne: Why are you afraid of him? He's my brother. Minos: A monster doesn't have siblings. Ariadne: The two of us were created from Pasiphae's breast. Both of us made her scream and bleed so she could bring us forth unto this earth. Minos: Mothers don't count. Everything's determined by the burning seed that chooses them, and uses them. You're the daughter of a king: Ariadne, the feared one; Ariadne, the golden dove. He is not ours. He is a construct. Do you know whom he is the brother of? His own cage, his own stone prison: the labyrinth. The hideous snail! He's a construct, do you see? The same as his prison. Daedalus created them both, such a cunning engineer! Ariadne: Well, Pasiphae was my mother.

11: A Tumblr post by fluentisonus. It reads, "thinking about ariadne calling the minotaur her brother". In a reblog, they add a screenshot of a passage in Latin: "certe ego te in medio uersantem turbine leti eripui, et potius germanum amittere creui, quam tibi fallaci supremo in tempore dessem. pro quo dilaceranda feris dabor alitibusque praeda, neque iniacta tumulabor mortua terra."

Fluentisonus translates the passage as follows: "In truth / snatched you from your tumbling in the middle of the whirlpool of death, and decided it was better to lose a true brother than fail you, treacherous man, in your moment of crisis. For which I will be given as spoils for the birds and beasts to tear apart, and, dead, will not be buried in scattered earth." (Catullus 64.149- 53)."

They then continue, "Really interesting here is that Ariadne calls the Minotaur germanus, which not only means brother, but specifically "full brother" or "true brother" and is sometimes even used to refer to twins, when technically the Minotaur is a) her half brother and b) considered a monster. Like this quality that killing the Minotaur was a mistake, and-" post cuts off.

12: Hannah Gadsby on stage. They say, "Do you know why we have the sunflowers? It's not because Vincent Van Gogh suffered. It's because Vincent Van Gogh had a brother who loved him. Through all the pain, he had a tether, a connection to the world."

13: Abstract stone sculpture of two humanoid figures hugging each other from the side. There is a hole cut into their chests where they meet

14: The road is long With many a winding turn That leads us to who knows where, who knows where But I'm strong Strong enough to carry him He ain't heavy, he's my brother

MORE JAIME SMUT PLEASE YOUR LAST ONE WAS SO GOOD 🧎🏽‍♀️🧎🏽‍♀️🧎🏽‍♀️

pretty. - jaime reyes x reader (nsfw warning)

"Jaime, darling, ah—" Your fingers dig into Jaime's scalp as he licks at you, lower face a mess of your slick and sweat, his eyes half-lidded as he continues to eat you out, staring at you, eyes soft.

"Hm?"

The vibrations cause you to jolt slightly, oversensitive from the previous orgasms, legs shaking slightly as he blinks at you, doe-eyed.

"'s too much." You mumble, running your hand through his hair.

Jaime detaches himself from you, string of your slick on his lips, a pout on his face. "one more, please? mi vida? Just one more."

You whimper, shaking your head lightly.

"One more, please?" He drums his fingers against your upper thigh, pout pulling further down.

You grimace.

"Please?" He bats his lashes at you.

"Will you fuck me after it?"

"Of course, mi vida. Anything you ask for." He smiles.

"Last one." You mumble. "N then you fuck me, alright?"

"Yes, yes," Jaime hums, pressing a kiss to your inner thigh. "anything for you."

your final orgasm crashes down on you in waves, your toes curling and mouth hanging open as it hits you, and your moan is like music to Jaime's ears. He watches as you come down from the high, grinning from ear to ear. Only he's seen you like this. Only he gets to. That thought makes him happy on its own.

Night of the Three Kings by Julio Borrell Pla

Is today a bigger holiday than Christmas Day in Spain?

in many aspects, yes. so three kings' day (dia de reis/día de los reyes) is the day traditionally in which spanish households open gifts, so yes it has a lot of importance culturally because children wait all year for this day to open presents (not christmas day!) 🎁 

in christianity, the story goes that on this day, the three kings (three wise men) saw a star (star of bethlehem) that led them to the baby jesus. when they saw the baby, they gifted him with gold, frankincense and myrrh. in spain before three kings' day we hold a cavalcade (parade) of the three kings (cavalcada dels reis d'orient/cabalgata de reyes magos) in most cities, towns, and villages around the country. by tradition, the kings on the parade are on their way to deliver presents to all the children and often throw candies and goodies to people watching the parade. (here's alexia on the parade route many years ago! 🥳 )

on three kings' day itself, we open the presents received from the kings and celebrate by eating 'king cake' (tortell de reis/roscón de reyes). what's unique about the cake is that there are two items baked inside: a bean and a tiny king. whoever gets the king is 'king for the day' and whoever gets the bean needs to buy the cake for next year! 😋

so yes, it is a very important day culturally and religiously!
