Absolutely off-the-walls theory with no supporting evidence, but Mrs. Flood -> reference to the Nile flooding? -> the flooding of the Nile not only playing a crucial role in the development of ancient Egypt civilization (life) but the river itself being considered a causeway from life to death and the afterlife -> Mrs. Flood is a third-party/third-party representative of a related entity to Sutekh but with their own agenda/realm independent of his plans?

Ming Dynasty 1566 episode 3

Of course the prince randomly offers 100,000 bolts of silk to his concubine's family when the government is struggling to come up with 500,000 for an important foreign trade deal

Yan Shifan triggers a 7-province flood for political advantage, "that'll get the farmers off their land so the silk merchants can take it over!" ... and that kind of out-of-control flooding probably isn't good for the land either

Some musings on the central themes of Dame Agatha's novels.

Starting from Poirot novels. The first three formulated similarly by someone I know and agree with, slightly reworded by me, others are my thoughts.

Some spoilers for The ABC Murders and Evil Under the Sun ahead.

Murder on the Orient Express:

Justice. Including the question if the justice of conscience always matches the law.

Murder of Roger Ackroyd:

Fall of a person. Even someone kind, smart, caring, talented and overall sympathetic is in danger of temptations like greed and cowardice. Avoid the wrong path.

The ABC Murders:

Stigma. Someone alone, weak and especially mentally ill can easily become treated like a monster, while the true monsters more often than not are someone prosperous and healthy willing to transfer the consequences of their crimes to a defenseless person.

Death on the Nile:

Blind love/devotion. Even a selfless passion for someone can become twisted and cause corruption if it's enabling and obsessive.

Evil Under the Sun:

Lust and attention-seeking. Not only it's detrimental to your relationship/family, it makes you an easy victim for a pretty face willing to flatter you.

Hercule Poirot' s Christmas:

Arrogance. If you think yourself superior to the "regular fools" and in the right to toy with people's feelings and issues, one day you run into someone like you who will outwit you and make you suffer for what you caused to them.

Learning to overcome the haunting of past trauma.

Actions in a difficult situation are what shows one's true self. This includes a passive person learning to make decisions.

"Fighting evil" motivated by pride and revenge can make you a monster like your enemy if not worse.

Appointment with Death:

Unhealthy desire for power over people. More often than not the person like that just doesn't want to realise they are pathetic person. Also, one day you may bite off more than you can chew.

Domestic emotional abuse, varying reactions to it (apathy, embitterment, escapism) and ways to free yourself/help freeing someone from its power.

Five Little Pigs:

Righting the past wrongs. (On several levels.)

Big consequences of small things. Sometimes a misunderstanding, a badly-thought white lie or ill-timed joke can cause or contribute to tragedy.

Revenge doesn't make you happy.

Sometimes a family that looks weird from side can actually be harmonious in their own way.

Taken at the Flood:

Feeling lost. Almost everyone in this story starts with the ground being knocked from under their feet one way or another.

Perilous chase of fortune. (This is a fatal flaw of more than one character, and what the title of the novel refers to, being a poetry quote)

A Breaking of Crows and Dogs - The Storyteller’s Guide to the “Dog Days” of Summer: The Folklore & Mythologies of the Autumnal Equinox

Twitter Patreon GitHub LinkedIn YouTube This is one of my favorite moments in life. Every year, there is this moment when the tides and energies of some corporeal atmosphere beyond my understanding begins shifting. This usually occurs a week or two before the autumnal equinox.  This is when the crows return. It’s 5am and I’m lying in bed thinking of you, or one of you, out there, reading…

Threshing

Anonymous - ancient Egyptian poem

Hasten ye, quicken your feet: the water is  coming, and will soon reach the baskets. 

The sun is hot, may the sun be given fish in payment for the corn.  Does not the pole stay all day on my shoulder very firmly? That is my wish. 

Thresh for yourselves, thresh for yourselves, oxen: thresh for yourselves, thresh for  yourselves: straw to eat, corn for your  masters: let not your hearts be still: it is cool.

Great crocodile Of the holy Nile, Eternal sanctity Yet a great tyranny, Which gobbles Lives and troubles Away every day, We shall pray Only to you To come renew The earth with flood That is tears and blood.

The Nile stopped flooding annually in Egypt because the British fucked with the river upstream. The flooding was a very important part of agriculture because it made the soil more fertile

The Nile flooded at just the right time for crops each year, and large, rain-fed oases supported farming far into what is now desert.

Why are all the comments like "I'm not neurodivergent, but-"

Yes, you are! And that isn't a bad thing! We are never going to be accepted as long as people still think being one of us is a bad thing!

Most people are at least slightly neurodev, you can't NOT be living in the times we live in. Stop worrying about whether or not your brain is normal, normal is just a word people use to shame each other.

If you want to support neurodevs, start by being ok with the idea that you might be one.

sometimes you just have to let yourself be a bit neurodivergent.

i hate going out, it gives me a lot of anxiety and sensory input that i dont like, and i am often forced to talk to people.

so i do this thing on more difficult days, or sometimes just for fun, where i "bring a fictional character with me". i walk and imagine Fictional Character walking next to me. they talk to me, reassure me, hype me up, whatever i need them to do.

today dean winchester came christmas shopping with me. he went over the list with me of stuff i needed to get, told me i was doing a good job every time i finished in a certain shop, reminded me to take a deep breath when i got a little overwhelmed.

and yea. its kinda silly. and i know its just me talking to myself in a different voice, but it Works! especially since all of my special interests/hyperfixations tend to be tv/movie related.

so do what you gotta do to Get Shit Done. stop holding yourself to neurotypical standards. if you need Fictional Character to tell you you're doing a good job, do it! if you need Favourite Singer to walk you to school, do it! yea it might feel silly but you're literally fighting against your own brain to get stuff done every single day. you can have a little self indulgent daydream, as a treat.
