MAN KANN NIE WISSEN, WAS MAN WOLLEN SOLL

Man kann nie wissen, was man wollen soll,

weil man nur ein Leben hat, das man weder

mit früheren Leben vergleichen noch in

späteren korrigieren kann.

Gebet 222 inspiriert von Ein Kurs in Wundern Greuthof Verlag Simone Fugg...

GOTT ist bei mir. Ich lebe und bewege mich in IHM.🙏🏻

 

VATER, DU bist bei mir, mein Zuhause in mir. DU berührst mich mit all DEINER Güte und Fürsorge, DEINER tiefen LIEBE und DEINEM ewigen Frieden.

 

DU bist meine LebensQUELLE, unendlich gebend, der REINE GEIST, DER mich erinnert, der eine GEDANKE in allem: „GOTT ist“.

 

DU bist das Licht, dass mich in DIR erleuchtet, gemeinsam im Einssein mit meinem Bruder. DU bist das Schatzhaus im grenzenlosen HIMMEL selbst, indem wir uns in Heiligkeit erblicken und dem Lied der Freiheit und Unschuld lauschen.

 

DU, VATER, siehst mich in jedem Augenblick als neu wiedergeboren, als das ewige Leben in DIR, nur DEINEN NAMEN in meinem Geist, still in DEINER GEGENWART ruhend. Jetzt.

 

GOTT ist bei mir. Ich lebe und bewege mich in IHM. Amen 🙏🏻

Vanochtend al op tijd mijn bed uit want om 8.45 moet ik bij Susan zijn, mijn nagelstyliste. Om 10.15 was ik klaar, snel naar huis om wat te eten en daarna door naar Amstelveen voor het eerste weeg moment.

Ik heb dezelfde lichte kleding aangetrokken, niet echt prettig met deze kou, maar alles voor het resultaat 😅

Ik ben 3,4 kg afgevallen! Yes coach tevreden, ik tevreden! Pas afgelopen vrijdag gestart dus in 6 dagen ruim 3 kg afgevallen is een mooie score. Volgens de coach is het nu nog allemaal vocht maar gaat dat nog veranderen. Ik heb weer een nieuw voedingsplan gekregen. Nu mag ik ook in de ochtend zuivel. Natascha de coach beveelt aan om de ene ochtend crackers met mager beleg te eten en de volgende dag een kom zuivel. Helaas is het avondeten nog steeds hetzelfde: groenten, mager vlees en zilvervliesrijst of een wrap (een wrap mag ik max 3x eten). Ik vind het lekker maar wil ook wel weer eens wat anders. De reset pil komt vervallen. Ik heb er nog 1. Die neem ik vanavond en dan ben ik daar klaar mee. Weer een nieuw doosje supplementen meegekregen. Nu ben ik 37,95 kwijt.

Na het wegen door naar TICA voor de laatste bestellingen. Om 12.45 mijn maaltijdsalade gegeten en toen door naar mam om met haar naar Van Uffelen in Aalsmeer te gaan. Niets gevonden dus toen nog door naar Blok in Uithoorn. Onderweg nog even mijn zakje yoghurt leeggedronken. Bij Blok hadden we meer succes. Uiteindelijk de deur uitgegaan met 2 broeken, 1 shirt en 1 vestje. Nog even snel naar AH om mijn eten voor vanavond en morgen te kopen en toen weer terug naar Amstelveen om mam naar huis te brengen.

Nog even mee naar boven gegaan want er was nog een melding binnengekomen via mijn Amstelland over een afspraak. Wat een klus om daar in te komen want mam haar iPad kan geen QR lezen. Maar goed, uiteindelijk is het gelukt. Er is een afspraak ingepland op 21 maartmaar dan kan ik niet dus ik heb een bericht teruggestuurd om een afspraak in te plannen in april. Daarna snel naar huis, een handje ongebrande amandelen gegeten, een glas water en even naar ID tv gekeken. Ik vind de moord cases altijd zeer interessant om te kijken.

Inmiddels is het 18.10 dus de hoogste tijd om het diner voor te bereiden. Marcel heeft nog een bordje staan en ik ga weer aan de groenten met kip.

Susan Isaacs - und das nach all den Jahren

 

Ich war vom Rand der Erde gepurzelt und in einer neuen Welt gelandet, in der Gefälligkeit unter Nachbarn nicht mehr im Ausborgen von Unkrautvertilger bestand, sondern darin, einen ultrakonservativen Politiker zu überzeugen, ein gutes Wort für mich einzulegen, damit ich bei meiner Verhaftung wegen Mordes nicht in Handschellen fotografiert wurde.

 

Bereits drei Stunden später,[...] wachte ich mit einem Gefühl der Beklemmung auf. ich war so verwirrt, dass ich einen Moment glaubte, ich hätte einen Schlaganfall erlitten. Auch nachdem ich Licht angeschaltet hatte, klopfte mir das Herz noch bis zum Hals. Ich schlüpfte unter die warme Decke zurück, aber es half nichts. 

 

Jede Frau hat eine große, verflossene Liebe. Aber was für ein Mann war Tom Driscoll doch gewesen! Welch tiefer Schmerz, einen so wunderbaren Mann zu verlieren. Und was für ein Schock, wenn man erkennt, dass man sich sein ganzes Leben nicht mehr von diesem Schlag erholen wird.

Crack Theory Theater:

Hiatus Edition

In light of recent events, I think the only thing logical to do is go back and re-read/re-watch arcs 1 and 2 of Black Clover.

Am I going to do that in the next three months?

Maybe.

But not right now.

Now is not the time for logic. Now is the time for the most off-the-wall crack theories we can come up with. We won’t be getting any answers for the next few months, so we might as well make our own.

The most intriguing ones I’ve seen in the fandom so far are: that the ‘Julius’ persona is actually an amnesiac Astaroth, that the Zogratis siblings are much older than they look (since their ages weren’t given on their profile pages), and that Lucius Zogratis has Soul Magic.

Whether or not any of them are true, none of us can yet say, so all I’m left with is speculation on how this might affect the narrative framework, and what we can predict from the structure of arcs 1 and 2: aka, the Elf Reincarnation Arc, and the Spade Arc.

And that structure is something that I actually do remember fairly well.

Arc 1 could have stood completely on its own, and I would have been satisfied if Black Clover had ended there.

And that makes sense. Like a novel or a TV series, the writers can never be certain how long their series will last. For book series in particular, it’s extremely common for a standalone novel to get turned into a trilogy. Essentially, Book 1 stands on its own, and books 2 and 3 are added later, knowing that they have at least 2 books to tie up loose ends/round out the series.

This makes sense, with the elf arc standing on its own, the spade arc ending on a cliffhanger, and the unnamed 3rd arc set up to continue and then finish the story.

Now, one thing I’ve noticed about Black Clover is that it seems to be a reconstruction of Shonen Anime.

That is, older shonen series were largely optimistic (haven’t seen a lot of these, but in my mind, it’s very early anime like Speed Racer, Voltron, or Astroboy. [Or He Man in the west.] “If it weren’t for Limited Animation, we wouldn’t have any animation at all,” sure, but I also like seeing people move more than their lips).

Shonen series being more bittersweet seems more ‘modern,’ with examples like Yu Yu Hakusho, Trigun, Bleach, and Naruto, (and One Piece, but the characters look like puppets to me, so I haven’t read that one. [I haven’t seen Bleach either, but I’ve heard people complain about the parts they didn’t like]). For western examples, a lot of fantasy follows this framework. (I’d include The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper in this category. That fucked up High School Me real bad).

In these modern series, it’s common for there to be some sort of conspiracy spanning a generation, or even centuries, with older characters acting as foils for the younger. In the story as experienced by the reader, it allows the themes of the story to ‘resonate’ across time and adds depth to the world.

But from the point of view of meta-analysis, it presents a single point of failure in the past that caused all the suffering the characters are now experiencing. And, a lot of the time, since the tragic backstory had to be written after the fact, it doesn’t gel well with having the characters act like human beings (cough-Anakin-Skywalker-cough).

Black Clover follows this pattern as well, in multiple layers, with the previous generation of Magic Knights (including the tragic deaths of Zara Ideale and Morgen Faust), and with the centuries-long conspiracy (with Zagred and his master plan to get himself a five-leaf grimoire).

You could even argue that the three time periods represent these three trends in storytelling:

Lumiere and Licht were meant to live in an idyllic episodic world where no one dealt with any villains more complex than Skeletor.

As has been pointed out by the fandom, Yami is a grown up Isekai protagonist. And, as the narrative has mentioned, he’s certainly not always a nice person, and some of his choices are questionable, but--for all of his drinking/gambling/casual violence--his heart is in the right place.

And then there’s the current generation, some of whom could stand to be better developed/fleshed out, but in general, and especially with the trio of Asta, Yuno, and Noelle, we see a reconstruction. A rejection of cynicism and inevitable tragedy, and an aspiration to ‘Here and now, surpass their limits,’ in a way that the previous generations were ultimately unable to do.

Now, looking at the themes of arcs 1 and 2, and what they can tell us about what we might see in arc 3, I see several patterns emerging:

1. The Man Behind the Man.

In arc 1, this was Zagred, who manipulated events to serve his own purposes over the course of 500 years. He was the true mastermind, with the apparent mastermind being Patri.

In arc 3, this will probably be Lucius Zogratis, probably with Morris, Adramalech, or any surviving Zogratis siblings as the apparent masterminds. (Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if it somehow worked out that Lucius was behind Zagred, due to some sort of Time Magic Bullshit.) [Even more convoluted would be if Astaroth were somehow behind everything through Time Magic Bullshit]

2. The Traitor.

In arc 1, this was William Vangeance, who couldn’t resolve his divided loyalty between Julius Novachrono and Patri.

In arc 3, this will likely be Julius, who is possibly unaware that his body is under the control of Lucius Zogratis. (Although my own money is on Yuno’s Mom somehow being the traitor. Yuno’s always struck me as having escaped being evil by the skin of his teeth. I don’t hold out much hope for his parents’ moral character. Also, she would likely have a divided loyalty, between Yuno and ‘loyalty’ to the Spade Kingdom which might require morally dubious actions.)

I could also see Sekke being pressured into betraying everyone, but I’m hoping he gets some positive character development in arc 3. For all that his function thus far seems to be comic relief, he’s gotten a lot of screentime for a minor character. I’d guess it’ll eventually go somewhere.

3. The Seemingly Sinister Ally

In Arc 1, Liebe was present, but largely silent, showing up only to make cryptic statements, or to emphasize that Asta’s power was demonic in nature.

In Arc 2, we learn not that he’s a manipulator or a deal-maker, but that he is Asta’s peer, his brother, and as he said earlier, ‘the person closest to Asta.’

This also occurred to some extent with Licht. The person that we thought was Licht was actually Patri. Licht was benign. 

And also, same deal with Zora in the tournament arc.

In arc 3, maybe this is Astaroth? If not him, then maybe Adramalech.

The only truly batshit outta-the-left-field character would be if Lucius was somehow good. He’s definitely one of the most sinister character introductions we’ve seen. Unless Tabata really goes hard on the Spade Royals being evil, I don’t think it would work, and even then, maybe not.

4. Not Today, Grim Reaper.

In arcs 1 and 2, we see the constant rejection of the idea of a sacrifice being necessary to achieve the greater good (or greater evil, in the case of Patri).

After playing things straight with that first arc villain and his henchmen sacrificing themselves to protect Patri’s secrets, the sacrifice trope gets avoided more and more often as the story progresses.

First instance that comes to mind is Sally Valtos and Rades resurrecting themselves out of a bad ending. (actually, now that I think about it, the first true instance might have been Kiato and Kahono losing their leg and voice, and then getting them back when Asta shared the panacea he used to fix his arms.)

Then, there were probably more, but the next one I can think of is Mereoleona staying behind to fight by herself, only for Asta and Zora to come back to help.

Then, there was Nacht trying to sacrifice himself to buy Asta and Liebe time, which didn’t help at all, since they burned a union mode to save him.

And then, there were the magic knight captains who tried to sacrifice themselves against the dark triad, only for Mimosa to show up and be like, “nobody is allowed to die today.”

For Arc 3, I can only hope the trend continues, although I think it might scale up to view sacrifice on a grander scale.

Here, we’re out into the fringes of speculation, but the most buck-wild guess I have for how arc 3 might incorporate this resurrection/denial of death theme would be to bring the elves, Tetia, and the Lumiere back. Whether this would be accomplished through some purified version of the reincarnation spell, or by literally going back in time to stop the tragedy in the first place, I have absolutely no clue.

Mainly though, I’m just hoping Julius doesn’t die again. Hasn’t the guy died enough times already?

Anyway, there are probably more patterns I’m missing, but that’s all I’ve got for now.
