This is what our love is––a sacred pattern of unbroken unity sewn flawlessly invisible inside all other images, thoughts, smells, and sounds.

Hermia and Helena

Artist: Washington Allston (American, 1779–1843)

Date: Before 1818

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC

Description

Washington Allston said that this painting represented "the singleness and unity of friendship." He posed the two women so that they suggest one figure, and they read from a shared book. In Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream, Helena eloquently describes her friendship with Hermia in the third act: "So we grew together, / Like to a double cherry . . . / Two lovely berries moulded on one stem."

Like many Americans of his time, Allston was educated in the classics. He painted Hermia and Helena in England when the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge was reviving Shakespeare's plays. A friend of Allston's, Coleridge felt that Shakespeare expressed human sentiment perfectly.

Spock to Chapel about McCoy:

"Yes, he is a sensitive man. He's also a remarkable doctor, and the Enterprise is fortunate to have him. However, he needs occasional correction. More than that, though, I believe he derives great pleasure from insulting me and having me insult him in return. That is the only way he will allow himself to express affection to a being as alien as I."

(The Trellisane Confrontation - David Dvorkin)

very talkative aren't you, Spock?

the one good thing about my bus home being delayed by five hours is that i had time to reread both Thief of Time and Hogfather, and they're still two of the all-time Discworld bangers

What have you read recently?

I'm working my way through anarchy works, critique of the Gotha programme, blessed is the flame, bullshit jobs, state and rev, and conquest of bread.

My favorite text so far would have to be black anarchism by the black rose federation. I think it's a must-read for black and brown people dipping their toes into anarchism, and for anti-racist white people who want a better understanding racism from a black anarchist lens, and the plight of the black/brown american. It doesn't touch too much on female issues, but I still love it.

The Hero: I’m going to need everyone to be straight with each other from now on. No more games. This isn’t just for Vaal, either. All of us.

Tomix: I’m always straight.

Izaac: Oh, man, that’s the biggest lie you’ve ever told.

Discover the All-New HOUSE OF LIGHT DLC for BOOK OF HOURS

BOOK OF HOURS DLC launches into HOUSE OF LIGHT combat-free crafting RPG game for Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. All thanks to the creative minds at Weather Factory. Available on both Steam and GOG with 91% Very Positive reviews. The new DLC for BOOK OF HOURS backs one of 2023's unexpected indie gems. It’s a quirky, quiet game where you manage an occult library, and despite its unusual theme, it made quite an impact, selling over 44,000 copies in its first month on Steam. Now, it has crossed 100,000 copies sold and boasts a solid 92% positive rating. Pretty impressive for a two-person indie team! But they’re not done yet – they’re back with a huge update called HOUSE OF LIGHT, packed with tons of fresh content for Linux players to dive into.

BOOK OF HOURS launch trailer (before HOUSE OF LIGHT DLC)

What’s HOUSE OF LIGHT all about? It’s Europe, 1937. A war is brewing, and not just the kind we know – there’s something darker on the horizon, something called the War in the Sun. As tensions rise, the shadowy figures of the occult world are searching for new allies, new power, and new plans. And who better to help them than the Librarian of Hush House? In this DLC, you’ll get to explore visitors’ stories in more depth in BOOK OF HOURS. Who throw lavish feasts, host fancy soirées, and help shape the beginnings of the Lighthouse Institute. The crafting RPG is all about making your mark in this mystical world.

So, what’s new in the update?

Cooking Up a Storm: Get creative in the kitchen with nearly 100 new dishes. You’ll be combining ingredients, sustenance, and kitchen tools across three different workstations to whip up these unique meals.

A New Writing-Case: In this DLC you can now keep track of the visitors you’ve helped by saving their calling cards in BOOK OF HOURS. Write to them, invite them back, and build stronger connections with those who pass through Hush House.

Salons: Ready to throw a party? Set up food and drinks in one of the six salon rooms, ring the bell, and start a Salon. If you do it right, you’ll get treated to great conversations and useful Lessons.

Writing Manuscripts: With some paper, ink, and a skill, you can now create Manuscripts. These will come in handy when visitors need specific knowledge, and the Lessons from your Salons will help sharpen your skills for even better writing.

The Lighthouse Institute: Once your visitors are ready, guide them to the lighthouse. There, they can help establish the true heirs to the Curia of the Isle.

Pricing and deals The BOOK OF HOURS HOUSE OF LIGHT DLC is priced at $13.49 USD / £11.69 / 12,59€ with the 10% off launch discount for the first week. Available on on both Steam and GOG.

This may be too much an intersection of my disparate interests for anyone else to get it, but: Unity's last week was basically point-for-point Eletra from Barish-Estranza trying to hold hostage the people who just gave her the supplies to repair her ship.

SPOILERS FROM TBOB!!!!

Oracle used to have been good friends with Bill.

She also in a way reminds me of Unity.

Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett is such an amazing book to me. What if you were insane and kind of a bad person and you brought about the end of time (literally), though did so without any bad intentions, without meaning to hurt anyone, without meaning to stop time, only wishing to make something perfect because you feel that that’s what you’re meant to do and it’s the absence of that perfection that’s driving you mad in the first place.

What if another version of you who is both intrinsically, inherently, genetically you but so vastly different to you due to the vastly different lives you two have lived-completely ignorant of one another’s existence despite both of you living in the same city your whole lives-was somehow destined to stop you and save the world, pulled away from his old life due to talents he didn’t know he had and often couldn’t control and frustrated to no end at the seemingly ever-growing incompetence of his trainer.

What of as a result of this, the two halves of You became one whole person and yet lose almost the entirety of your collective humanity and now have to leave behind the person you love to fulfill the task that you were always meant for since the moment of your birth, and you have lost so much and you cannot go back to your old life because you can hardly keep yourself tethered to the present moment when there is all of time out there calling to you and it saddens you but you can see through time and it’s indescribably beautiful and infinite.

What if you were the unintentional villain and the reluctant hero and lost your humanity to become one of the inner workings of the universe itself.

ELIA WEEK D-2:

Elia and her brothers/parents:

art cred: owned and created by @yosb <3

Parents headcanons

They were very attentive to her health flunctuations ever since she was a babe

The Princess felt so guilty but her Prince would constanly reassure and support her

"We'll do our best for her... Do not worry. This one will live. I know she will!"

They coddled her a lot

Elia was a fussy baby

Septas and milk mother had to shoo him away because he was overlooking everything

Princess Elia was often sick and the first five years her parents had sleepless nights

Silently staring at the night skies hoping to not have to bury yet another babe/child

But Elia fought each and every one

Elia was always clear vocal and could express herself very well ever since she was young

Having no issues to express an idea or feelings

So much she was the only one to "pacify" childgremlin!Oberyn

She always had the right words to say to soothe him

The Prince had maesters and foreign physicians come from far to examine their daughter to see if she could be healed

But each would fail and send him into a black rage

Against everyone the maesters, physicians and the gods

His little "sundrop” his only daughter was suffering of an ailment

And no maester, physician or even the gods were answering his prayers and pleas

Elia obviously her daddys apple eye

She takes her kind temper after him

He was a cunning witty but sweet man

but since she was her mothers only surviving daughter you can say she was also a mommys girl

One time Rhaenys got really sick everyone thought it was the end that night Princess Loreza and the little Princess were saying affirmations like a prayer

It gave her the litlle bravery she needed thus every night since then Loreza would recite those affirmations to her

Her and her father would have afternoons of fun telling each other jokes and reading books to each other

Since she couldn't leave the castle walls her father would bring books, maps, parcments and paintings of places all over the world

Just so she could see them from her sickbed (I'm sobbing while typing this)

Prince Quentyn (yep their father) would stay hours after Elia fell asleep. Just to watch her breath, just watch her little chest raise and fall in peaceful bliss

He wished to burn this image. Their first daughter, alive, breathing in bed. Fighting every bit of her sickness she could through her frail body

The Prince was heartbroken each time Elia would moan that sh'e in pain

If he could take all her pain to himself he would have...

Prince Quentyn would forsee her political education while his wife was running the Kingdom

On namesdays they would have the best actors and singers of the 7 9 Kingdoms or from the world come for Elia

Elia loved circuses and grandiose performances and magic

So her brothers and parents would have them come every year just so see her smile and laugh

Just to see her eyes twinkle in wonder and joy 😭

Prince Quentyn would cry every year thankful to have such a gorgeous sundrop

He would get frustrated with Oberyn because he had the fancy of kidnapping his sister to "adventure"

Elia didn't mind at all, those escapes were her only chances to see the outside world

Once he passed (some years right before her marriage) Elia had terrible time reading to herself

Her sweet reading companion had departed...

She promised herself to do the same with her children

After his death Elia prefered people reading to her or reading to people

Reading alone always feels empty... but sometimes

Just some rare moments, she'd imagine a familiar hand carresing her head in a soothing motion

"Keep reading! I adore your voice, My little sundrop..."

Originally Loreza was to choose a husband through letters and extensive negotiations

But when Oberyn objected to it suggesting they should prove themselves to Elia herself

Loreza agreed

She wanted to be the one to annonce to her daughter they would travel for suitors

Just to see her eyes lit up

Her husband would have disagreed

However this wasn't a life she wished for their daughter

Princess Loreza wanted her daughter to have a good husband that would take care of her

When the tour didn't turn out well Loreza came to terms that maybe she would be safer in Dorne after all

Until she recieved the royal seal

This was an honor

Ever since, Loreza enforced Elia's political and court knowledge

Making sure her daughter was informed and read for that environment

Right before the wedding both cried to each other

Elia swore she would make it, and make her and her father proud

Loreza ordered her little brother to watch and guard Elia from this shit city

Ser Lewyn and her were each others allies

Her pregnacy made Princess Loreza anxious

But word of a safe delivery and healthy granddaughter and daughter put her to rest

Princess Loreza died before she could meet her grandaughter

Few weeks after Elia was announced to visit Dorne to present the Princess Rhaenys Targaryen to the Dornish court

Elia was devastated and was granted to visit Dorne shortly after

The last act she tried to enact was a large sum of gold waiting for her in the Iron Bank

For her and her bloodline "in case something would happen"

Ser Lewyn was the last place of comfort and familiarity she had in Kingslanding

He would listen to her, confort her, gossip/spy for her,...

And once he left for the Riverlands she truely felt alone

The news of his death broke her

Her parents she had grace to restrain herself

But her sweet uncle, her oldest friend and ally, her last link to their House was gone

Elia knew then, she had to make it home somehow

in a way she did...
