In undergrad I took a Shakespeare class with the head of the department and he mentioned in class that he had a first folio facsimile in his office and we could come see it any time if we wanted, so the first time I was there to discuss a paper it took everything in me not to blurt out "ravioli ravioli give me the folioli"
#I did ask to see it in a normal way and got to see it#I have a facsimile of a Poetaster quarto#they were going through books in the office one day a place full of free books#and I was having a fan moment over it and my classmate said you can have it. It should go to someone who will love it#so now that's in my possession and I do love it#that free shelf is the reason I have two separate copies of Ben Jonson and the Language of Prose Comedy#I read a book about the language in Bartholomew Faire and then randomly met the author at a group reading#of The White Devil at an SAA conference and I went up to her and was like I loved your book. It was possibly her dissertation

Agnes Hollyhock's VAMPIRES - The History & Lore of the Undead comes to bookshops August 13, 2024.

Rediscover the precursors to and the cultural and historical ancestors of the modern-day vampire—the most powerful of all the forms taken by the undead—in this hauntingly illustrated volume.
The idea of a supernatural being with a never-ending, insatiable appetite for blood or human viscera has plagued the human mind for centuries, appearing in mythology and folklore from all corners of the world. Why were people of the past so concerned with such a creature? What worries and anxieties about human nature and existence could conjure up such a monster? Those of us in the present day are no less fascinated, taking these tales and reinventing and revitalizing them to embody our fears and desires in equal turn, ensuring that these undead beings will truly live on forever.
VAMPIRES (Wellfleet Press | August 13, 2024 | $19.99) explores the imagination, stories, and culture of these bloodthirsty creatures of the night by reintroducing the very first beliefs of vampires across a wide variety of cultures and geographic regions. Learn the history of your favorite monsters and their characteristics such as: o Shroud Eaters: German vampires who feed on their burial shrouds, other corpses, psychic energy, and human flesh o Strigoi: Medieval vampires from Slavic folklore. One story associated with them may have been the origin of vampires drinking blood from their victims' throats. o Jiangshi: An undead revenant from China. They are said to derive their supernatural powers from the moon, so are at their weakest during the day or on a new moon. o Dhampirs: Monsters, or misunderstood? The children of vampires and humans, Balkan folklore suggests that dhampirs make the ideal vampire hunters, as they can eliminate vampires with any tools at their disposal. o and more!
Featuring intricate illustrations, this ghoulish handbook looks back to the folklore throughout the centuries of the undead. Find the vampires you never knew existed and reveal the history of the undead.

Oi gente!!! Essa é uma "thread" contando sobre tudo (ou quase tudo) sobre o caso diddy.
⚠️AVISOS⚠️
Vai ter DUAS PARTES então fiquem ligados no meu perfil que eu já vou postar a parte dois, pq n vai caber tudo aqui.
Já peço perdão por qualquer erro de português.
Oque eu vou contar aqui são as coisas que EU SEI, com certeza pode estar faltando alguma informação, então recomendo pesquisarem caso se interessem sobre!
Se tiver alguma informação nova eu coloco aqui.
É isso, peguem uma pipoca e aproveitem!
Quem é diddy?
Diddy, P-diddy ou Puff daddy é um produtor MUITO famoso, vocês com certeza já ouviram alguma música com o nome dele ou produzida por ele. Algumas são:
Umbrella da rihanna, Crazy in love da beyonce, Tiktok da kesha que tem aquele trecho "wake up in the morning felling like P-DIDDY"
Enfim o cara é ENORME, porém na última segunda-feira (16), ele acusado de tráfico sexual, extorsão, sequestro, trabalho forçado, suborno e outros crimes.
Então agora bora entrar em mais detalhes sobre esse homem ridículo e todas as teorias e fatos em torno dele.
Cassie Ventura
Essa mulher era nada mais nada menos do que a ESPOSA do diddy, eles se conheceram ali por volta dos anos 2000 e desde então tiveram o relacionamento MAIS TÓXICO POSSÍVEL, inclusive quando ela tentou terminar com ele, ele trancou ela dentro de casa.
No começo, ela era taxada de maluca por "falta de provas" mas foi vazado um certo vídeo em um corredor de hotel onde ela a cassie estava tentando fugir do diddy, mas ele simplesmente ESPANCOU ELA e depois saiu arrastando ela para dentro do quarto.
Ela também contou que ele obrigava ela a transar com prostitutos para ele ficar lá vendo, e com ctz deve ter tido mais abusos.
Mas essa diva não iria ficar calada meus amores, ela foi uma das principais chaves para a queda do seu ex-marido. Depois que esse vídeo foi vazado, o diddy postou um pedido de desculpas, MAS oque ele não esperava é que várias pessoas ganhariam coragem e iriam expor os crimes dele!! Por isso a cassie foi importante, ela encorajou as vítimas a falarem sobre os abusos.
As festas do diddy
Diddy também era conhecido por dar festas conhecidas como "freak offs", festas organizadas com perfomances sexuais orquestradas.
Diversos famosos como Lebron James, Travis Scott, The Wekeend, as Kardashians e etc frequentavam essas festas ou eram convidados para elas. O próprio Lebron James e Chloe Kardashian já disseram que "não há festa melhor do que as do diddy".
youtube
E o pior, o diddy gravava oque acontecia dentro dessas festas para usar como chantagem, ou seja, se alguém abrisse a boca ele ia lá e vazava os vídeos, ou pior, mandava matar a pessoa.
(Uma informação importante é que quando a polícia foi investigar a casa dele, foi encontrado mais de MIL óleos para bebê, que eram usados como lubrificante)
E falando em mortes, vou falar de algumas que supostamente ele está envolvido.
Tupac e The Notorious BIG
Os dois eram cantores de rap muito famosos nos anos 90, e adivinhem? Os dois morreram!
Eu não vou me aprofundar no caso deles, mas tem um vídeo no youtube do canal "naty e isa" que elas contam mais detalhadamente sobre.
Basicamente, os dois foram baleados por uma gangue, e inclusive o atirador já está preso. Mas é ai que entra o diddy, o atirador afirmou que ele pagou MILHÕES de dólares para a gangue matar o 2pac.
Michael Jackson
O michael eu creio que nem preciso introduzir para vcs, ele é simplesmente MICHAEL JACKSON!
Acontece que o nosso rei do pop fez um discurso muito polêmico, vou deixar aqui para vcs darem uma olhada:
youtube
Ele também vivia dizendo sobre estar sendo perseguido, de não quererem mais ele vivo e etc. Também existe uma suposta gravação da última chamada dele, vou deixar o link aqui para vcs assistirem caso se interessem.
youtube
Left eye
Lisa Nicole Lopes, mais conhecida como "Left Eye" fazia parte de um girl group chamado TLC que bombou nos anos 90.
Lá pro início dos anos 2000, ela foi fazer algum tipo de retiro espiritual que inclusive, foi TODO registrado em vídeo.
Enfim, o mais bizarro é que a left eye vivia dizendo que um espírito estava atrás dela, que queria mata-lá e etc.
Até que um dia, ela tava dirigindo o seu carro junto da sua equipe para ir em outra cidade buscar suprimentos, quando sem querer (ou não) uma criança foi atropelada, e o sobrenome desse menino era "Lopes" que por coincidência (ou nãokkkk) tinha o mesmo sobrenome dela.
Depois desse acontecimento, ela vivia dizendo que foi o espírito, que ele matou o garoto por engano e que era para ter sido ela no lugar dele.
Dito e feito, ela morreu alguns dias depois em um acidente de carro. Ela foi tentar desviar de alguma coisa ali no meio da estrada e acabou batendo.
Lembram que eu disse que era tudo registrado em vídeo? Pois bem, aqui tá o vídeo do momento que ela morreu, e fiquem tranquilos pq não aparece sangue nem nada do tipo, mas ainda sim é um vídeo perturbador.
youtube
Aaliayah
Ela era uma cantora MUITO famosa, gente vcs não tem noção, a mulher era O MOMENTO!
Antes de falar sobre a morte dela, tem uma pessoinha muito importante que também está envolvida, e o nome desse bicho é R.kelly.
Ele também é um produtor musical extremamente famoso e que era bemmm amiguinho do diddy. Oque acontece é que ele era APAIXONADO pela aaliyah, e queria se casar com ela. E não demorou muito para eles realmente se casarem. O estranho é que a aaliyah tinha entre 14/15 anos, enquanto ele tinha mais de 30. "Mas então como eles conseguiram se casar?" Simples, ele forjou os documentos dela e modificou a idade dela para 18 anos! Obviamente a família foi contra, mas não teve jeito.
youtube
Ok agora que já expliquei isso, vamos para a morte dela que envolve diversas conspirações.
A nossa diva iria gravar um clipe na ilha de barbados, e para isso ela precisava de um avião não é mesmo? Mas acabou dando algum rolo e não conseguiram um avião, e ai arrumaram um de última hora.
Até ai ok, mas acontece que a aaliyah não queria entrar naquele avião de jeito nenhum, ela era muito paranoica com segurança de voo e não estava confiante em embarcar, mas as vontades dela infelizmente não foram ouvidas e obrigaram ela a entrar no avião. Simplesmente doparam a menina, botaram ela lá dentro a força e adivinhem? O avião misteriosamente caiu!
(Existe uma teoria de que a beyonce mandou matar ela, mas não me aprofundei muito nisso)
E falando em ilha de barbados, existe uma diva pop muito conhecida que veio de lá. Isso mesmo gente, A RIHANNAAA!! Então bora lá entrar no tópico dela.
O jeito estranho que a Rihanna foi descoberta
Que nem o michael jackson, creio que não preciso apresentar a rihanna para vcs né? Enfim, acontece que a forma como a diva pop foi colocada na indústria é bizarra.
Lembrando que isso é uma teoria ok? Não tem nada confirmado.
A rihanna veio da ilha de barbados, e resumidamente o querido jay-z descobriu ela e ficou encantando com a garota, então resolveu colocar ela dentro do seu jato e levá-la para os EUA. Detalhe, ela foi nesse jato SEM OS PAIS DELA, ou seja, ficou sozinha com o jay-z e sabe se lá mais quem. Chegando nos EUA, se eu não me engano trancaram ela em uma sala e disseram "vc não vai sair daqui até assinar esse contrato" ela assinou o contrato as 3h da manhã!
Pra quem manja no inglês aqui a entrevista que ele confirma isso
youtube
Inclusive, a diva não lança músicas novas a uns 10 anos, o último álbum dela tem essa capa aqui:

Olhem bem, não é meio esquisito?
Beyonce e Jay-Z
Eu boto minha mão no fogo pra dizer que os próximos a cair são esse casal!
Primeiro o R.Kelly, agora o Diddy, o próximo com certeza é o jay-z, e junto com ele vai a Beyonce.
Inclusive, eles se conheceram quando ela era super novinha, o que é bem estranho. Existe uma gravação que a própria diz "Você (se referindo ao jay-z) me fez uma mulher de verdade".
youtube
Como eu disse antes, existe uma teoria de que ela mandou matar a aaliyah pra tirar ela da jogada, entenderam? Mas isso é teoria!
Bom, os fãs da beyonce dizem que ela é vítima e foi obrigada a não falar nada, outros dizem que ela tem dedo nisso sim, e etc. Mas enfim? Oq vcs acham?
Naomi campbell
Ela é uma modelo super conhecida, que supostamente tbm tem envolvimento nisso tudo.
Ela era bem amiga do diddy e do jeffrey epstein, ou seja, ela frequentava as festas deles!
(Se quiserem eu posso contar do caso da ilha epstein futuramente)
Justin bieber foi abusado?
Não é novidade que o justin começou sua carreira muito novinho, e como ele era considerado muito lindo, obviamente os abusos iam vir!
Ele já foi assediado diversas vezes por mulheres mais velhas e inclusive já teve nude vazado, tudo isso ainda sendo de menor.
Enfim, a questão é que em 2009 ele passou 48h na casa do diddy, sem supervisão! Existe apenas uma gravação em que ele tá conversando com o diddy, vou deixar ela aqui para vcs verem:
youtube
youtube
Bom, algumas belibers daquela época dizem que depois desse dia o justin nunca mais foi o mesmo, mas disso eu não tenho certeza!
Enfim, existe uma música dele chamada "Yummy" que significa algo como "Gostoso" ou "Delícia" em português. O mv dessa música se vc olhar bem, é super pesado.
Vou falar de uma cena específica que eu achei a pior de todas. A cena mostra um bolo com uma foto do justin criança, e em baixo escrito "yummy" ou seja "gostoso".

Também a boatos de que ele era levado nas festas do diddy e também na ilha epstein, aqui tem um vídeo que supostamente ele tá nas festas do diddy:
youtube
Kanye west
A um tempo atrás, o kanye fez um discurso que na época muitos o taxaram de louco, mas o tempo inocentou ele!
Também tem um que ele diz que sua mãe foi sacrificada. Se liguem:
Eminem
Pra quem conhece o querido sabe que ele não abaixa a cabeça pra ninguém, ele fala nomes MESMO e não ta nem ai! O bicho é afrontoso, e obviamente ele iria fazer uma música atacando o diddy.
Se liguem na letra:
Pra quem não saber "Raper" significa "abusador" em inglês, e "Sa's" é algo como "abusos" então ele faz trocadilho com a palavra "did it?" Que fica parecendo "diddy"
Vamos concordar que ele foi gigante nessa!!
E muitos se perguntam, como ele e o kanye nao estão mortos? E eu te respondo, não faço ideia!
Jennifer Lopez
Essa querida namorou o diddy por um tempo e ele foi fundamental no começo da carreira dela como cantora.
E agora com toda essa treta envolvendo o ex dela, estão dizendo que ela vai quebrar o silêncio e contar uma situação bem pesada que ela sofreu na mão desse homem.
Em 1999, ela e o diddy foram presos por conta de um tiroteio que ele estava envolvido. Mas ela se provou inocente e dps de 14h foi liberada. Porém o diddy, o seu guarda costas e outro rapper foram todos acusados do tiroteio.
Misteriosamente, o diddy e o seu guarda costas foram absolvidos enquanto o outro rapper que estava junto pegou nove anos de cadeia.
Massss, porém, contudo, todavia, entretanto, o daily mail afirma que quem levou a arma para o diddy foi a jennifer lopez, e que ela teria testemunhado ele atirando na pessoa e que optou por ficar em silêncio.

Here we go! I have some smaller books to share as well, but I've been absolutely VIBRATING with excitement to share a BIG one, and I'm going to indulge myself and post that today, then figure out words for the rest. Because I bound a new cnovel. Check it out, guys, I bound jwqs/clear and muddy loss of love :D


Let me indulge myself and backtrack a little! First, these are quarto books, so they're short. But I think these average a little under 500 pages each, and jwqs is a LONG book (my beloved), and this adds up to a total eleven inches of lesbians. More like twelve once they're in their cases. It's over a million characters in Chinese and I think the English translation comes in somewhere around 890k, it's HUGE

Making these books was SO FUN, I hadn't read jwqs and still haven't, and will probably read on my phone when I do. I don't have any exciting photos of the typesetting, but I knew this was an imperial succession story, and that made me nervous, those stories don't always click for me. Well, the process of typesetting and adding footnotes for this beast definitely confirmed that I'm going to have a good time with this thing when I have the time to read it, but there was also so much going on that only the vaguest of spoilers sank in. I went into an absolute FRENZY of typesetting, and after I printed, cut and folded it, well. That was one afternoon of sewing. You're looking at the reason I'm scrambling to make up a few hours of missed work, hahaha
After that, I needed cases. At the very beginning of march, I received a shipment of some FASCINATING bookcloth. It's called Duo, and it's made by layering a thin gauzy fabric of one color over paper of a different color. Depending on the combos, you get a really cool range of color-shifting effects. And they've gone out of production! But I was part of a group order to get some of the goods, and hadn't yet finished a new project. Reader, I went for it.

That purple and green is bananas!!!! It's so hard to photograph, this midnight picture of a few cases is one of my most successful attempts to capture the full range up close. Originally I'd been thinking of trying to evoke imperial gold, but I figured this was still the kind of drama and luxury suited the book, and also something something the hidden colors suited Qi Yan's character. I tied it back a little to the imperial gold with the endpapers, then titled them in silver foil, since the endpapers had silver in them.

But once the books were made, I felt like it wanted something... more. Something like a BOX!
And me, I chase novelty. A set this large would be tricky for anything clamshell, but a slipcase for all seven would leave books tipping all over if it was wide open, but putting walls between slots would be demanding in terms of precision and would risk similarly-sized books getting stuck in the wrong slots. Then I remembered learning about slipcases where you could put in a little insert to support the weight of the text block, and the concept SNAPPED into place.

Colors aren't going to photograph well at midnight, but I made the supports using the scraps and off-cuts from my endpapers, to tie it back into the bindings. The back of the case is lined in more of the duo, and the walls are lined with a faux leather bookcloth I like a lot, it feels buttery smooth and seemed like a good neutral material to tie the papers and bookcloth together. I listened to some of the DEEPEST layers from the nine-hour conspiracy theory iceberg video while I was working on this, haha, it was a TRIP.

And in the end, each of the supports is sized to comfortably sit in the smallest of the volumes, and evenly spaced, so I believe it will take the books in any order with no problems. It's easy to grab the books without having to cut notches into the walls to grab them from. And even though weight is less of an issue for quarto sizing, the books in here have their weight supported no matter what angle the box is at! I'm so, so pleased with how this concept worked out and definitely plan to do more with it in the future.
So there we are! Jing Wei Qing Shang! I had such a fabulous time with this project, and I'm so excited to get to share it with all of you. The story was fun to work with, the bindings and box were fun to make, and everything here came together just as well as I could possibly have hoped. I'm so proud of this, and incredibly, incredibly excited to show it to you!



#crafts#bookbinding#box making#oh boy what is this story tagged#jwqs#jing wei qing shang#clear and muddy loss of love#I'll pick one to stick with later 😂#long post/#so proud of this one!

So it's been a while since i posted any books - mostly because i've been hiding my progress like a little sneak.
I just finished this bind last night of The Desert Storm by @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning, or really it's volume 1 out of like ??? 15, maybe. Please take whatever i say with a pinch of salt (I have had 0 sleep for more than 24 hours, and that tends to make me a little very sleep-deprivation drunk a.k.a. unhinged). Okay, on to thoughts! The Desert Storm was foisted onto me by @celestial-sphere-press who told me under no uncertain terms that I WOULD FUCKING LOVE THIS SHIT. Well, I did. This more than 1 million word epic about Ben Fuckin' Kenobi is pretty much god-tier fanfiction. It reads like a goddamn novel. I can never think of canon again without thinking that this good shit should be canon. I read it and then consumed half of it within a week, and I have zero regrets. @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning, i absolutely love you and love your writing. It is the best thing since sliced bread. It is better than sliced bread.
I also had the benefit of @celestial-sphere-press saying, hey would you want to use the typeset? MY GOD, i am grateful. I love this fic, i would have typeset it if it hadn't been typeset but Des did such a beautiful job that i am absolutely in awe and thankful that she and the author allowed others to use it. Look at it - it's so beautiful. I only had to think hey, i just gotta design the cover and et cetera and so the book happened.
Please also check out @celestial-sphere-press 's amazing post here and here, who is the only person i know who's started and is almost complete in fanbinding this epic, and is also making an author a copy of the entire series.
Some stats, if you will.
96215 words || 380 pages
Title font: Ghaomiec
I took some inspiration from starblight bindery's lovely desert scape as well as this amazing cover of Dune which i own. I love that the landscape emanates Dune vibes while being oh so Tattooine - just sand and heat, relentless loneliness and melancholy. This fic centres around Obi-Wan Infinite Sadness Kenobi so it needed SAD VIBES TM, which i tried to deliver in desolate landscape form.
Also thank the heavens for Renegade members, who in a masterful stroke of Group Buy Saves Money, managed to source extra-out-of-production colours of Colibri and help a fair number of us get really cool limited edition versions of bookcloth. I am now a proud owner of a lorge stash of Duo and Colibri of which i am now sitting on like a shifty dragon with a hoarding problem. Good luck getting your bookcloth now, Folio Society, ha ha (gloating)! This particular bookcloth is Colibri Copper which has been wholly stashed for The Desert Storm series. I am leaning on transitioning to Malachite for Rise and Fall when I get to it.
The front cover design was done with a stock image and converted to a PNG, which i then fiddled with and did some HTV magic with. It was remarkably easier to weed than expected. I tried something new and ironed the design on the naked bookcloth first before gluing it to the boards, which was a new challenge in making sure everything was aligned.
Endpapers are marbled endpapers (Renato Crepaldi) which I got from Hollanders, which perfectly fit the colour scheme of the bind. The only hiccup was as I was cutting, I realized the sheet was running in the opposite direction of his usual papers and half the size, and only yielded 3 A5 size endpapers and so my heart went noooooooooo. oh well. i guess i will use it for quartos.
Endbands are my favourite - silk in 3 colours in the french doublecore style (as i was binding this i did not have the mental capacity to handle the difficulty of 4 strands). the truth is i usually only can do 4 when I have higher brain function and am willing to spend 80% of my time unraveling it from getting tangled.
I also forgot to mention I had mild fuck-ups, I got glue on the front endpaper which I had to hastily remove with wet cloth, and the back square is preposterously bad but I'm ignoring it for now.
Anyway, i've actually managed to complete a few other binds which have not been mentioned here as they've all been gifts/ surprises or event books in some form. I am SO EXCITED, also because I am travelling in the latter half of July to San Diego and L.A. and I get to meet some bookbinding friends in the flesh. Renegade is fucking amazing y'all. I am ready to embrace these crazy lads who have enabled me for the last 1 year, even when i'm the solitary (1) weirdo from my country of origin in the server. Also... potentially bookbinding trip early next year??? I am enthused.

- When she was a child, Sam wore an old dress that they left at the hotel but Dean made her take it off for fear of John's reaction.
- the only person who knew anything about her was Amelia
- Cas eventually found out too, since in my AU/interpretation of SPN, souls have texts saying parts of the person's personality. Sam's had stuff about transgenderism

- Dean's reaction was not immediate acceptance, but it was not rejection either.
- Sammy loves Dean's cooking
- She chose Samantha because she loves the nickname Sam and didn't want to get rid of it because it's a part of her.
- She and Claire get along really well and she often visits the Mills house
- She is a mother figure to Jack(and mostly every child/teenager she meets)

TRIGGER WARNING FOR DEATH OF FRIENDS ‼️‼️‼️ If this bothers you in any way, you can skip this post to the next one.
The evening news announced that a group of archaeologists had been found dead in a cave that had collapsed in the early hours of the morning. The big detail: Kaito was friends with this group and had received an official message from the museum where they worked together. Akemi: Grandpa, where's Uncle Kaito? Weren't those his friends on TV? Genshi: Your Uncle Kaito must be fine, dear. Uncle Akira went to talk to him. Don't worry, let's eat, how about it? Akemi: Okay… Akira hurried up the stairs and reached his younger brother's locked room. Kaito: Akira, if Akemi isn't looking for me, just… leave me alone for a while. Akira: After the after the news report? No way! The two argued for a few minutes, Akira trying everything to comfort his youngest brother, but it seemed to only make the situation worse. Kaito: Why don't you just leave me alone?! Akira: Kaito, I care about you! I won't leave you alone! I'm your big brother. Kaito: I'd rather be an only child than grow up in the shadow of the success of the three of you! Akira: *feels worse than ever and hugs Kaito tightly* I'm so sorry, Kaito… I'm really sorry. Look, Tsubaki, Asahel and I love you from the bottom of our hearts and we never wanted to cast a shadow over you, can you forgive us for that? Kaito: I'm sorry for yelling at you for that… I know it wasn't intentional… it's okay. I love you three. Akira: Come here, I promise you, no matter what world we're in, we'll always, always care for and love you. *whispering, but hugging his little brother tightly* Forgive me for casting a shadow over you.
PREVIOUS 《🐎》 NEXT
Translation below (PT-BR)
Little note: I know the focus should be on Akemi, but I really wanted to give this little moment to Kaito. Sorry for the giant text 😅
O jornal noturno anunciava que um grupo de arqueólogos havia sido encontrado sem vida numa caverna que tinha desabado na madrugada. O grande detalhe: Kaito era amigo desse grupo e recebeu uma mensagem oficial do museu onde trabalhavam juntos.
Akemi: Vov��, cadê o tio Kaito? Não eram os amigos dele na televisão?
Genshi: Seu tio Kaito deve estar bem, querida. O tio Akira foi lá falar com ele. Não se preocupe, vamos comer que tal?
Akemi: Tudo bem...
Akira subiu as escadas com pressa alcançando o quarto trancado do irmão caçula.
Kaito: Akira, se a Akemi não estiver me procurando, só... me deixa um pouco sozinho.
Akira: Depois da matéria no jornal? Nem pensar!
Os dois discutiram por alguns minutos, Akira tentando de tudo para consolar o caçula, mas ao que parecia só piorava a situação.
Kaito: Por que você não simplesmente me deixa em paz?!
Akira: Kaito, eu me importo com você! Não vou largar você sozinho! Sou o seu irmão mais velho.
Kaito: Eu preferia ser filho único a crescer na sombra de sucesso de vocês três!
Akira: *se sente pior do que nunca e abraça o Kaito com força* Eu sinto muito, Kaito… Sinto muito mesmo. Olha, eu, Tsubaki e Asahel te amamos do fundo do coração e jamais queríamos criar uma sombra em você, pode nos perdoar por isso?
Kaito: Desculpa gritar com você por isso… sei que não foi intencional… tudo bem. Amo vocês três.
Akira: Vem cá, eu te prometo, não importa em qual mundo estejamos, sempre, sempre vamos cuidar e amar você. *sussurrando, mas abraçando com força o irmão caçula* Me perdoa por criar uma sombra em você.

THE BAD QUATRO. Art binding by Samuel Feinstein.
‘A bad quarto, in Shakespearean scholarship, is a quarto-sized printed edition of one of Shakespeare's plays that is considered to be unauthorised, and is theorised to have been pirated from a theatrical performance without permission by someone in the audience writing it down as it was spoken or, alternatively, written down later from memory by an actor or group of actors in the cast – the latter process has been termed "memorial reconstruction". Since the quarto derives from a performance, hence lacks a direct link to the author's original manuscript, the text would be expected to be "bad", i.e. to contain corruptions, abridgements and paraphrasings.’ — Wikipedia

Title & Author: Roots and Legends by Editors of Wellfleet Press
Publication Date: 21 January 2025
Score: 65/100
Link: https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/b6138a37-721d-4674-8391-e22c977dde93
Comments: This book is a collection of short stories, legends, fables, and folklore from African culture. It begins with a fairly lengthy introduction that delves into the culture, folklore, and history, explaining how these elements influence the stories within the book and how tales evolve and adapt over time.
The stories in the book are organised into different sections, including "Bearing Witness," "People with Unusual Powers," and "Why Things Are the Way They Are." Notable stories featured include "Anansi and Nothing," "Ohia and the Thieving Deer," and "Why the Moon Waxes and Wanes." Each story also includes an introduction that provides context and explains its significance.
One disappointment I had was that the book wasn’t fully illustrated. While there was some artwork for each section and occasional small illustrations, it wasn’t enough to truly deem the book illustrated. Additionally, I found it challenging to read certain stories, particularly the ones featuring Brer Rabbit, as they were written entirely in slang, which felt like a different language altogether.
However, I enjoyed exploring stories from different cultures, and the book appeared to be well-researched.
Thank you Quarto Publishing Group for providing me this book for review consideration via NetGalley, all opinions are my own.

Shakespeare Weekend






Continuing our look at The Works of Mr. William Shakespear: in ten volumes published in 1728 by Alexander Pope (1688-1744) and Dr. George Sewell (d. 1726), this week we examine Volume Four and its imprint variation on the title page. Volumes Four, Five, and Nine all include additional booksellers aside from Jacob Tonson (1655-1736).
The imprint for these three volumes reads “Printed for J. Tonson in the Strand; and for J. Darby, A. Bettesworth, and F. Clay, in Trust for Richard, James, and Bethel Wellington”. Richard Wellington Sr. was established in the London book trade during the 1700s, shortly after his death in 1715 his wife Mary assigned his stock of books over to Darby, Bettesworth, and Clay in trust for her three children. How or why Wellington was tied to only volumes four, five, and nine of Pope’s work is unknown to us.
Volume Four contains a group of Shakespearean history plays including King John, King Richard II, King Henry IV Part I, King Henry IV Part II, and King Henry. Similar to Rowe’s earlier collection, scene divisions, stage directions, dramatis personae, and full-page engravings by either French artist Louis Du Guernier (1677-1716) or Englishman Paul Fourdrinier (1698-1758) precede each play.
Pope’s editions of Shakespeare were the first attempted to collate all previous publications. He consulted twenty-seven early quartos restoring passages that had been out of print for almost a century while simultaneously removing about 1,560 lines of material that didn’t appeal to him. Some of those lines were degraded to the bottom of the page with his other editorial notes.

"The lower strata of the middle class—the small tradespeople, shopkeepers, and retired tradesmen generally, the handicraftsmen and peasants—all these sink gradually into the proletariat, partly because their diminutive capital does not suffice for the scale on which Modern Industry is carried on, and is swamped in the competition with the large capitalists, partly because their specialised skill is rendered worthless by new methods of production."

O grupo masculino novato composto por ex-concorrentes do 'Boys Planet' atrai os fãs com sua inesperada formação de membros
Outro grupo masculino novato composto por ex-concorrentes do ' Boys Planet ' está se preparando para estrear em breve, seguindo nomes como ZEROBASEONE EVNNE e TIOT.
Estreando sob o selo Armada Entertainment , o grupo novato atende pelo nome de ONEPACT. Um aspecto que está chamando a atenção para este grupo é a sua formação inesperada de membros, revelando as consequências de uma série de mudanças de gravadora que parecem ter ocorrido após o fim de 'Boys Planet'.
Os primeiros membros do ONEPACT, revelados na semana passada, em 26 de setembro, são Yoon Jong Woo , que apareceu no 'Boys Planet' como um trainee sem gravadora. Ele também é conhecido como ex-membro do grupo Black Level e terminou em 18º lugar geral durante 'Boys Planet'.
Em seguida, ONEPACT anunciou Oh Seong Min como seu segundo membro, confirmando que o ex- membro do TO1 (conhecido como Jerome durante seus dias no TO1) se juntou à Armada Entertainment após se separar do Wake One no início deste ano.
O terceiro membro do grupo, revelado em 4 de outubro, é o ex- membro do Ciipher, Tag , também conhecido como Uhm Tae Gyun do 'School Rapper 4' da Mnet . Logo após o fim de 'Boys Planet', Tag deixou a Ciipher e a gravadora do grupo, Rain Company .
Por fim, o quarto membro do ONEPACT, apresentado em 5 de outubro, é Lee Ye Dam, vocalista principal da equipe. Tendo aparecido como trainee da LM Entertainment durante ‘Boys Planet’, Lee Ye Dam também já fez seu nome conhecido no programa de sobrevivência da SBS ‘ Loud ’.
Com esses quatro membros revelados até agora, o ONEPACT apresentará mais membros do grupo em breve, em preparação para sua estreia oficial.

REVIEW
London: A Guide for Curious Wanderers by Jack Chesher
I hate to admit it but…I requested to read and review this book knowing I would be in London and wanting to see something new, different, and fun. Sadly, I forgot to download the book into a reader before traveling and lost out on SO MUCH! When I returned home, started going through books to be read and reviewed…there it was…this tiny gem filled with beautiful illustrations, unusual historical tidbits to seek around London, and specific walks to take to enjoy information in this book. I probably will not be back in London to do for a while BUT I will keep this book in mind to pick up before my next visit so that I can make the walks I would have taken if I had had this book with me a month ago.
Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group-White Lion for the ARC – This is my honest review.
4-5 Stars
BLURB
See London in a completely new light in this guide to the city's hidden secrets, untold stories and special places laden with history which you can discover for yourself! London is famous for its museums, each one full of treasures and relics – but the biggest museum in the capital is the city itself. From the stories behind unusual street names, to the trees in our parks; railings made from recycled WWII stretchers, to shrapnel damage on walls; the hidden symbols on post boxes, to prehistoric tree trunks – there is a rich history hidden in the oft-overlooked details of the city's streets, gardens, parks and buildings. This richly detailed and beautifully illustrated book provides a miscellany of historic features and curiosities to spot as you wander around the capital. Whether you’ve always wondered why there are cattle troughs on your route to work , why bollards often look like upside down cannons or wanted to know what a Victorian stink pipe is – this book will provide the tools to decipher London’s secret code, and introduce you to a treasure trove of hidden spots to explore. The book comes complete with maps so you can spot these details yourself on walks through the capital. So, pop on a sturdy pair of shoes and get ready to turn the city into the museum you never knew you had.
