#Until Olympius Returns

ALL HAIL THE MYSTERIOUS GAP

[tmglineaday]

This is just a brief improvisation in the dance

"Go through the motions every day out in the square Listen for the hidden rhythms on the air Nod in agreement when the Tyrant holds forth Look for a beacon from the North Protect yourself, vouch for every member of the team This is just a momentary ripple in the stream.”

[txttletale]

if you hear accusations or rumours about a trans woman, investigate before you speak--go to the source. find out what's really happening. protect yourself, vouch for every member of the team. talk to the ones who get called toxic. listen to the ones who get called liars. the perpetual motion machine pharmakos factory press is built on the twin gears of complacency and people hearing what's easy to hear

General timeline deviations for void spark rangers:

Green with evil wasn’t a solo affair. Tommy got brainwashed with Bulk and Skull getting purple and orange respectively beside him

This led to their brothers temporarily being rangers off and on until Stan and David were about 30 before they put up the morphers for good

Tommy Bulk and Skull actually have an arc where Tommy learns how to be a good parent by first being a good honorary uncle to Spike

Rito’s actually there for the wedding, he gets there a little earlier

Chain reaction of Bulk and Skull keeping amnesiac Goldar and Rito for ransom (and then getting talked out of trauma based revenge) leads to the z wave not happening

Olympius isn’t killed, and is turned back into a child and adopted by Ryan. He befriends Spike as little kids, and then they lost touch until their early 20’s. Didn’t realize they’d met as kids until a year into their dating. Spike’s cousins haven’t let him hear the end of it.

There was a war over hell dimensions between all of the orgs, demons, and other hell/underworld groups. This was resolved after Bulk and Skull fell into hell and the rangers had to get involved to get them out. This led to Olympius meeting Spike again and Olympius adopting his son, Petrichor

Mystic Force Rita’s more tense with Udonna as she’s not exactly apologetic she abandoned her children with her brother. The consistent unapologetic frankness does temper Udonna’s expectations with Nick. They’re able to work through all that a bit more healthy

Many rangers manage to redeem their adversaries and there’s a full integration of monsters, demons, aliens, and the like in society by the time the series starts. As well as a very robust reform program to help people in the justice system have a life outside of it

Nick was adopted by Stan and David, and changed his last name to Russell over a joke

Dr K was never taken by alphabet soup & is Nick’s adoptive sister and Stan’s biological daughter.

JJ Oliver had a son while undercover at 18, got married at 19, and divorced at 24. He remarried at 28 and his youngest is the result of the second marriage

Kimberly and Bulk waited to have any kids and Chloe is their little miracle, as unexpected medical complications made having kids a several year long undertaking. As such, their kid is the same age/in the age range of several of their friends grandchildren.

Trini is Angel grove’s mayor, Zack is California’s senator, before the z-wave happens when Rito returns with his adult aged niece and nephew

Most teams are a town based or situation based system. They each specialize in something specific and defer to each other for those things

Udonna, Trini, Tommy, and a few others go to the moon and end up dying there when the current ZEO team goes missing. This directly kicks off the z-wave. And a lot of bad press for the rangers, as with the deaths of so many established members of society directly by a mentor, a lot of people wonder if they knew

[fragbot]

Profess keen interest in the welfare of the state Taste everything they feed you, say it tastes real great Spit it down your sleeve every time you get the chance This is just a brief improvisation in the dance

can we talk about until olympius returns. the pain and complexity of living under an occupation while trying to resist and dissent, but also survive, and retain your culture, and stand in solidarity with others........ it's a song about doing what you can to get back at your oppressors. it's a song about keeping yourself alive. most of all it's a song about faith!!!!!

BLESSED SAINT BASIL (VASILI), MOSCOW WONDERWORKER (1552)

Icon: Orthodox Christian Supply

Saint Basil the Blessed is one of Moscow's most renowned fools-for-Christ. Ascetics who performed the feat of a fool for Christ have always been respected in Russia for having the bravery to disregard outward decencies by pretending to be insane and for concealing their gifts and virtues and exposing the vices of the world. They held the indisputable moral high ground because they were free from passions and pure of heart.

Saint Basil the Blessed is remembered as a Moscow miracle worker. He even threw rocks at miracle-working icons and was daring enough to denounce the terrifying Russian Tsar Ivan the Terrible for shedding innocent blood. The Tsar accepted his criticism with humility and did not allow anybody to lay a finger on him.

The Tsar summoned the Blessed One to his chambers for a meeting one day. He offered him wine thrice throughout the encounter, but Saint Basil emptied the wine cup on the floor each time. The Tsar was enraged, but Basil claimed he was putting out a fire in Novgorod. Tsar Ivan's messengers soon confirmed: a fire was raging in Novgorod, and citizens were reporting seeing a nude man with buckets pouring water over the blazing flames until the fire was extinguished. Saint Basil halted another horrific city fire in Moscow in 1547, in another recorded miracle...Continue reading @St Elizabeth Convent

THE PRIESTMARTYR STEPHEN, POPE OF ROME (257)

The Hieromartyr Stephen, Pope of Rome, suffered in the year 257 during the reign of the emperor Valerian (253-259). Saint Stephen, occupying the throne (253-257) of the holy First Bishop of Rome, zealously contended against the heresy of Novatus, which taught that it is not proper to receive back those returning from heresy.

While hiding during a persecution against Christians, Saint Stephen baptized many pagans, including the military tribune Nemesius. He converted to Christ after the saint healed his daughter Lucilla. Nemesius, who was ordained as a deacon, was beheaded along with his daughter.

Their steward Symphronius was brought by the tribune Olympius into the temple of Mars for torture. His prayer shattered the golden idol, after which the tribune with his wife Exuperia and his son Theodolus believed and were baptized. They were all burned alive, and their remains were buried by holy Pope Stephen.

Then twelve of his clergy were beheaded: Bonus, Faustus, Maurus, Primitivus, Calumniosus, John, Exuperantus, Cyril, Theodore, Basil, Castelus, Honoratus and Tertullinus, all converted by Saint Stephen. Finally, Saint Stephen himself was led before the emperor Valerian (253-259) , who condemned him to beheading with a sword in the temple of Mars.

By the prayers of the saint, a large part of the pagan temple was destroyed, and the soldiers fled. The saint concealed himself in the catacombs (the resting place of Saint Lucina or Lucy), where he was later killed by soldiers while he was teaching Christians.

1 CORINTHIANS 10:28-11:7

28 But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness." 29 Conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? 30 But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks? 31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. 2 Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. 6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

MATTHEW 11:27-30

27 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

i really love the jordan lake sessions version of until olympius returns because of the sheer fucking rage and contempt john darnielle squeezes into ‘don’t it make you feel important, don’t it make you feel free?’ and then the exuberant joy of ‘we’re gonna be right here on the day it finally burns’. like it just captures one of the most wretched quirks of liberal imperialism, the ‘aren’t you so thankful we’ve liberated you? aren’t you so happy to have all these freedoms?’ attitude they give you as you starve in the street. god songs for pierre chuvin is good
