today on things that make me go "???? :)???? what the fuck :)????"
Linguists: okay, days of the week what are we thinking?
Almost every Germanic language: Tyr's day, Odin's day, Thor's day, and Frigg's day :)
German: yes to all of those, except for odin's day, we call it
Mittwoch (midweek) :)
Icelandic: oh! we like the midweek thing, we'll do that too :)
Linguists: but besides that you'll stick with everyone else too right?
Icelandic:
Lingustis: ... right?

Gods help them. It's the early morning, the busiest time in her delightfully caffeinated corner of the world. Students are aplenty, bundles and cohorts of sleep-deprived threes, and despite the macchiatos and the calls for mocha, the world's but narrowed to a singular point. There's nothing, not at all, beyond this morning-sun moment. He looks to her and listens to that heart in her laughter. He hears birdsong, light chatter, and porcelain clangs.
The atmosphere, not to sound thoroughly soppy, of course, rides the line of cotton-floss, sugar, and ballet tulle. She looks to him brightly and at last says yes—then far more still. Infinitely more. "Ha. That's remarkably daring of you," Gale returns, stunned, and by the all the gods above, relieved. "If ever I whisk you away to an evening debating those finer theories of modern evocation, I do hope for your sake that you've this same enthusiasm. For now, however, I'm more than content to woo you in a manner more traditional. Though I don't share the sentiment, I hear that dusty parchment isn't much conducive to romance. We'll save that—" with hope "—for another time."
Another time. Ah. The implication alone can make his heart flutter.
But my word, isn't Ada marvelous. More than, he'd argue. She may think herself simple, all sugar-dusted hands among fruit-dolloped tartlets, but she, as far as Gale's concerned, is impossibly more. He can pluck stars from the heavens! He can set dreams into stone! And majesty, Gale believes, is a realm that he knows of... And majesty, he confesses, is all she commands. Ada may rally every morning to meet him, but she's ought to hear Tara grumbling at his pining. Gale, half-way humbled, can hear her tuts. "I was thinking Fifthday at around seven if that's alright with you. Fear not, I'm amply prepared for all the rioting the following morning. I teach young adults before noon. Let them do their worst." He smiles, and it's as wonderfully cocky as it is dashingly daring. Make no mistake, Ada's charmed him thoroughly... Without his knowing, her staff giggle just a ways. "As it were, far be it from to keep you from sating our caffeine-deprived constituents. I should lend you my hand in tempering them one of these days. I hear my cà phê sữa đá is rather masterful." He's still lingering by the register, and he knows that. "Not to put yours to shame, of course. I see you. The passion, the work you do—it's really quite magical." / @innchanted from here.

#Novenato OurLadyoftheMiraculousMedal
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
[FEAST: NOVEMBER 27]
#OpeningPrayer
O Most Holy Virgin,
O my Mother, ask thy Son on my behalf for everything my soul and all mankind needs so that thy Reign be established on earth.
My most earnest request is that thou mayest triumph in me and in all souls and implant thy Reign on earth.
Amen.
#FifthDay
The Holy Virgin holds a globe in her hands representing the whole world;
and each person in particular;
and offers it to God, imploring His mercy.
She wears rings on her fingers, bearing precious stones that shed rays,
one more beautiful than the next, symbolizing the graces that the Holy Virgin pours out on those who ask for them.
[LET US PRAY]
O Most Holy Virgin,
O my Mother, amidst the great desolation in the world and the Church, obtain for me the graces I ask of thee and inspire me, above all, to request the graces that thou most want to grant me.
Our Father....
Hail Mary....
Glory Be....
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!

#MiraculousMedalPerpetualNovena
#OpeningPrayer
Priest:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen.
Priest:
Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Your love. Send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created.
People:
And You shall renew the face of the earth.
Priest:
Let us pray.
Oh God, who did instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
People: Amen.
Priest:
O Mary, conceived without sin.
People:
Pray for us who have recourse to you (repeat 3 times)
Priest and People:
O Lord, Jesus Christ, who have vouchsafed to glorify by numberless miracles the Blessed Virgin Mary, immaculate from the first moment of her conception, grant that all who devoutly implore her protection on earth, may eternally enjoy Your presence in heaven, who, with the Father and Holy Spirit, live and reign, God forever and ever. Amen.
O Lord, Jesus Christ, who for the accomplishment of Your greatest works, have chosen the weak things of the world, that no flesh may glory in Your sight; and who for a better and more widely diffused belief in the Immaculate Conception of Your Mother, have wished that the Miraculous Medal be manifested to Saint Catherine Labouré,
grant we beseech You, that filled with like humility, we may glorify this mystery by word and work.
Amen.
#Memorare
Remember, O most compassionate Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your assistance, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, we fly unto you, O Virgin of Virgins, our Mother; to you we come; before you we kneel, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but, in your clemency, hear and answer them. Amen.
#NovenaPrayer
O Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus and our Mother, penetrated with the most lively confidence in your all-powerful and never-failing intercession, manifested so often through the Miraculous Medal, we your loving and trustful children implore you to obtain for us the graces and favors we ask during this Novena,
if they be beneficial to our immortal souls, and the souls for whom we pray.
(Here privately form your petitions.)
You know, O Mary, how often our souls have been the sanctuaries of your Son who hates iniquity.
Obtain for us, then, a deep hatred of sin and that purity of heart which will attach us to God alone, so that our every thought, word and deed may tend to His greater glory.
Obtain for us also a spirit of prayer and self-denial, that we may recover by penance what we have lost by sin and at length attain to that blessed abode where you are the Queen of angels and of men Amen.
#AnActofConsecrationtoOurLadyoftheMiraculousMedal
O Virgin Mother of God, Mary Immaculate, we dedicate and consecrate ourselves to you under the title of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal.
May this Medal be for each one of us a sure sign of your affection for us and a constant reminder of our duties toward you.
Ever while wearing it, may we be blessed by your loving protection and preserved in the grace of your Son.
O most powerful Virgin, Mother of our Savior, keep us close to you every moment of our lives.
Obtain for us, your children, the grace of a happy death; so that, in union with you, we may enjoy the bliss of heaven forever. Amen.
(Repeat 3 times:)
Priest:
O Mary, conceived without sin.
People:
Pray for us who have recourse to you.
