Dreamland

Sorry it’s long! You don’t have to read the whole thing.

So!!! I had another dream with Noah from Bad Omens in it. I feel like the place we was in was my home, but then again I’m not sure of that either. Cause it definitely wasn’t my home the way I know it to be. But this kitchen was similar to how the kitchen in my old house was.

Anyway! We was in a house, in the tv room, and it was night time. I had blanket and was getting ready to go to sleep on one of the couches. Just as I came into the tv room I saw Noah chilling on couch that looked more like a love seat type of couch. And with him being so tall my first thought was “I don’t think he’s gonna be able to fit comfortably on that couch.” Which wasn’t just a thought since I said it loud enough for him to reply back to me, “Naw, this is good for me.” I just shrugged it off and proceeded to get on the couch that was big enough for me to sleep on but would have comfortable for Noah as well. (Which is also when I notice that it’s Noah from Bad Omens and the first person who came to mind was you, Nami! @agravemisstake And I thought, that I had to tell him that friend of mines is a big fan. Which I didn’t get the chance to do unfortunately.)

See the couch I was on was wide and long enough to be a twin size bed. (The size of my actual bed.) But he said that he was good so I started to get comfortable. The lights was off, the tv was on, he had three cans of beer by him, and I had one can of hard seltzer(vodka and flavored soda). I watched him try to get comfortable and then said, “Are you sure you good over there? This couch would be more comfortable for you?” Talking about the one I’m on. And he basically tells that it’s fine, and we proceed to try to go to sleep.

Only we just end up talking. Just talking about random things while trying to sleep but neither of us is really letting the other go to sleep. And swear the longer we talked the closer the couch Noah is on comes closer to me. Which I don’t really notice until he starts talking about someone name Dan and I stop like, “Hold on, hold on, hold on. I’m Dan! That’s me.” Basically saying, Danny is my name. Granted, one of my friends do call me Dan sometimes. So, he smiles at me like he’s acknowledging now that I’m Danny and than starts talking about Dan again only this time he was like, “Okay, so the Idiot did something dumb.” He no longer Dan by his name, just straight up replaced it with Idiot. Now what did he say about Dan, I have no idea cause I’m sitting there thinking, Nami would freak out if she knew was talking to Noah from Bad Omens.

I end up finishing my hard seltzer and he finished a can of beer and at this point we not even trying to sleep anymore. Just enjoying talking to each other. But then something got on my blanket and he asked if I was okay and said I was fine and just needed to clean off my blanket real quick. Going to the kitchen, I went to the sink to clean off the corner part of my blanket. And I think like a minute into doing that Noah comes in the kitchen. He don’t really say anything but he definitely uses his height to loom over me as he walks by to go to fridge, like he’s checking on me and making sure everything was okay, takes something out the fridge and then goes back into the tv room. Cause everything was okay, I rinsed the stain off and then go back into the tv room.

Only to see him, finally!, sitting comfortably, but comfortably on the couch I was on. Which I knew his tall ass would be would be comfortable on. But I didn’t say anything about it since he handed me an another hard seltzer (what he had got out of the fridge when came to check on me). Both of us now sitting on the couch, with tv still on, lights off, and just talking. And once again I’m thinking that I need to tell him about my friend who is a big fan. But this starts talking about a song he’s about to make.

He was saying that it would start off with someone playing a horn and then he would come in with drums and then there was one other part before the beat dropped and the song would play. He asked me what I had thought about it. And at first I’m talking about the instrument for the horn that he might be talking about. A trumpet or trombone. I say something but else, but Noah’s like, “Okay, but you didn’t answer my question. What you think about it?” And so I tell him that it sounds pretty cool. Noah’s response to that was, “Okay, I’m gonna remember you said that. And see what you really think it’s cool. The name of the song is gonna start with an S.” I’m just like, Okay! Then proceed to tell him that his idea actually reminds me of the NFL theme song. Only then realize the there’s a football game on the tv and…

That’s it!

I swear it was really just us chilling and talking and getting to know each other. Nothing really romantic, but there was sense of it was possible in the future. Especially, since it just seemed like the more we talked the closer we got, not just physically either with how he couch was sliding closer to me. But yea! It was chill. Wish o could remember more of what we talked about, but that’s just how dreams go.

You know what’s crazy…

… it’s legit been years since I had a huge crush on someone who wasn’t a celebrity/famous. This was a guy that I could have potentially tried to date. It could be my imagination, but I could of sworn there was a connection between us. Or maybe it wasn’t my imagination. Maybe there was a connection there, I just don’t know what kind of connection it was. It could of been that maybe he is my other half but we’re not ready to be together yet. OR! It could of been the universe just showing/telling me that my other does exist and is just waiting for me to get my shit together. I think either one of those could be the reason why I felt so much for him.

It’s just sad that I only got to interact with him a few times before he ended up getting another job and moved. 😩 So yea, he was a coworker. We didn’t exactly work together, but like once a month or so we would have group outing where everyone close by in the company would meet up and hangout/have dinner. That’s how I meet him and few other coworkers. And was just so bright and energetic and fun, and I wanted him! I wanted to get to know him more. Learn about him and so much more. Like I know his bday is in September(if I’m correct he’s a Virgo), he has a younger brother, he likes rock climbing, and he’s lactose intolerance. I wanted to know more. I still want to know more. Cause what I don’t know is if him and another coworker is dating. It was really hard to tell cause they would sit next to each other and I know they was around each other more than just working together, but I couldn’t tell if they was more than friends or not. Cause I’m no home wrecker, and I really did try not to make it obvious that I was so into him. But I swear I could barely keep my eyes off him whenever he spoke. Especially when he talked to me.

Oh my yes! I won’t ever forget how it SEEM like he made it a point to talk to me at the last gathering we had. Which was at his place to celebrate him getting another job and moving. I don’t know if he did it cause I was having introverted moments and not really talking much since there was more people that I didn’t really know there. Or if he didn’t cause he just really wanted to talk to me, get to know me a little more. But I loved every second of it. I just wish that I had moment with him all to myself before he left, cause I would of told him that I had a crush on him. I would of apologized for making things weird especially if he was dating the other coworker, but just to get it off my chest so I could get over him and not think about him to the point that I’m writing this. i would of put on my big girl panties and told him that I liked him. Not like would be seeing him again since he’s moving and I don’t expect him to like me back.

It would have been quick and nerve wracking, but at least would have got it off my chest. Cause a crush like this is just too much to keep in. It’s been years… YEARS! Since someone has ever smacked me in the face, kneed me in the crotch, and shot me through the heart like this. And as nice as it is to know that I can indeed still feel flames like this, it just sucks that I didn’t have the time or opportunity to do something about it. It was like, as soon as I met him, he was gone. You know?

Hopefully, getting my feelings out here had help me a bit. Cause I still do have a crush on him, but maybe it will be less intense, and I can stop thinking about him for while. I’m not purposely dating, I’m very much single, but not against dating someone if I find some interest in them… I do know that when I do decide to start really dating again and find my other half, I will be seeing if ever get this feeling again.

All in all, it felt crazy and so good to have a crush on someone.

How I have a dream about Jaehyun going to the military?

He wasn’t idol Jaehyun. He was just regular Jaehyun who worked and hung out with us. Mind you, I don’t have a job right now. So anyway!!! It felt like he was one of my Best Friends. Cause it seems like my brain was trying to go down memory lane with all the shenanigans me and him been through. I just can’t fully remember it.

Me and my friends was there to see him off. It happened kind of quick but everyone was some form of sad to see him go. Of course he said his goodbyes and see you later. I remember getting a hug from him and him sending me a text to thank one of our friends for something. Which I did, but when I went to text him back about it his number was gone. Like he couldn’t have any contact with us while he’s in the military. I can’t really remember anymore interactions with him.

I just remember one of my friends asking in a group chat how is everyone doing? And I my reply to that was that it’s bittersweet that Jaehyun had to go to military, but it was his choice and I’m sure he’ll come back fine and healthy. After that my brain was like ‘Oh when he comes back he’s getting the biggest hug EVER from me. I don’t care if his parents are there they just gonna have to wait’. Cause clearly it was going to be boring and lonely without him for the next two years.

That’s It!

Ughhhh! It really is bittersweet that’s he’s going into the military right now. But I’m not mad at it. I get the feeling that he’s not only doing to get it out of the way but he’s doing to take a break from everything that’s happening. From taeil’s bs to another one of his dramas getting put on hold and all of SM’s bs. It’s like he did it just get away from it all at the moment.

I can’t help think about what he said while he was on Youngji show. About how he had talk with his dad about not being happy with what he was doing. And his father told him that if he wasn’t happy to just quit and do something else. First things first! I think it’s adorable how close he is to his father and how his father supports him so much. But secondly! It’s like he literally told us that he wasn’t happy and was thinking about leaving. Though, instead of just out right leaving (cause don’t give us Aquarius a legit reason to leave, we will be on the first plane flying out) he chose to do his military service first. Put everything on pause, take some time for himself, and probably find his love for his career again.

I don’t know, these are just my thoughts and opinions. Cause I don’t really know him, and I don’t really know what’s he’s feeling and what his life is like. Just as a fellow Aquarius, I know it may seem like we be doing shit just to do it sometimes. But let me tell you, most of the time it for a reason… So! I hope when he goes he has a new experience, and learn somethings. And comes back with a growth to him, and a fresh mind.

I clearly needed to share my thoughts on this. Let me make sure it’s legit shared… @agravemisstake @futuristiclovezone95

Okay hear me out…

@naniolimpo

NCT 00 line as a rock band.

Renjun- Guitar/Main Vocals

Yangyang- Bass/Rapper

Jaemin- Keytar/Vocals/Sub Rap

Haechan- Keyboard/Main Vocals

Jeno- Drums/Rapper

With Chenle as the Manger and Jisung as his assistant.

(I did have YangYang as manger and Mark as Bass, but I really like the idea of 00 line as band. And I can see how YangYang fits a bit more than Mark… Honestly! I think Mark should just be in 127 and Haechan should be in Dream, thought I would miss him in 127. But we don’t need to get into all of that now. This is my NCT 00’ rock band.)

Thoughts?

[peachie-kyng]

So!!!

… I had wild dream last night. About getting followed/stalked. And trying to call the police, which is 9 1 1. A number that was seeing a lot a couple months ago. Only in my dream when I was trying to dial it it would change to 311 or 611. I think I seen 311 flash once, but 611 was blaring at me, and it didn’t help that today when I was talking to the universe that 6:11 showed up on the clock.

SO! I looked up what those numbers mean spiritually and this is what I got…

I’m really feeling more in tuned with the universe and my angels lately. And I do feel a change happening on my life. I just can’t wait for it happen but I’m being patient and hoping that the universe continues to give me patience.

Granted I saw twin flames and with hearing/reading that something or someone is coming into my life, it felt only right to figure out what twin flames means…

Which is crazy! I can only think of one person when it comes to having a potential twin flame. But only time will tell if my guess is right. Cause I definitely been tripping off the person since I meet them, but have talked to them in about a year or so.

Life is feeling magical.

Tanjiro from Demon Slayer! Oh that’s going to go pretty well for me!

The main characters in the last show or movie you watched now have to deep-clean your house for you. How does that go?

[powdermelonkeg]

so, it’s confirmed that Zelda’s “Time” powers came from Sonia, and her “Light” powers from Rauru, but we know from other games that only the women of the royal family can use the “sealing” power inherited from SkSw Zelda. do you think this means that throughout history, the “Light” powers associated w the sealing are actually separate from the sealing ability? I just remember being really lost after that cutscene, cause even if Rauru somehow was a descendant of Hylia, he wouldn’t be able to use those powers, and the sealing of whatever evil is causing trouble always has a fancy light show with it lmao

So, this is a very complicated question with a very complicated theory to answer it.

We know that Sonia's primary, and, in terms of usablity, only power is Recall.

However, I do believe she's Hylia's descendant, not Rauru, despite Rauru being the one with the light/sealing power. Evidence on that here.

Being Hylia's descendant would make Sonia's birthright be a whole host of other powers, possibly latent, but more probably something that Sonia's never actually been in the right situation to use. Let's take a look at what Skyward Sword Zelda can do.

She can seal the Demon King-

-but only at the expense of her own life force being rendered inert while she does.

She can bless the Master Sword-

-but it's already as strong as it can get.

She has strong connections to time...

...but we knew that already.

Of these three powers, only one would be relevant to Sonia's skill set. The Master Sword can hardly be doubly-blessed, and the Demon King has yet to show his face.

More importantly, however, Skyward Zel's sealing power works MUCH differently to Wild Zel's.

Wild Zel's sealing is instantaneous, fueled by emotion, with seemingly no draining effect on her person.

When fully unleashed, her seal is as total as it is inescapable. It doesn't require her to put herself to sleep until Link can deal the final blow with the Master Sword. The closest thing to Skyward Zel's seal that Wild Zel did was in keeping the Calamity at bay for 100 years while Link slept. During which, it's heavily implied that she was conscious, given that she spoke to Link the instant he woke.

With Rauru, his sealing ability seems much more similar to our princess's, with only some key differences visually.

His right hand gathers light around it, and needs to be extended to fully function.

When the seal first activates, it forms a spherical shape, which is inescapable, albeit on a much smaller scale than Zelda's.

It's a little hard to see, due to the magnitude of Zelda's power, but it IS a sphere.

And although this act does cost Rauru his life, it usually doesn't. He's done this before, multiple times, as stated in Messages from an Ancient Era tablet A Pilgrimage of Light:

"The kyng was late y-come this aven, so maked the quene to sharen tales of hir lond, of shirines al grene yglouen. "Of erli daies sinnes Hyrules funding have diverse monstres hir reaume biseged ond assaylled. "Uncesinge in striffe, thei broughte to despeir folkes lyfen. Kyng ond quen ysete thamselue to bringen scurge to ende. "With might of light ond pouere, driven abak ybeen, ond the roial couple made thes shirines to selen him awei. "Thes holi selen ben yclept Shirines of Light. "Gret kyng, grete quen, y thank ye. Ye foughte whan y wer maiden-child, that y kude pes toknouen."

The translation, to the best of my efforts:

"The king was late to come this evening, so made the queen to share tales of her land, of shrines all green glowing. "Of early days since Hyrule's founding have diverse monsters her realm besieged and assailed. "Unceasing in strife, they brought to despair folks' lives. King and queen set themselves to bringing scourge to end. "With might of light and power, driven aback they been, and the royal couple made these shrines to seal him away. "These holy seals been called Shrines of Light. "Great king, great queen, I thank you. You fought when you were maiden-child, that I could peace to know."

Sonia and Rauru went around making the Shrines of Light that we find in present day and receive blessing from:

So, with the exception of the Demon King, who was so powerful that he could resurrect thousands of years later, Rauru's seal behaved like Zelda's—instant, fueled by emotion, inescapable, projected by the right hand, with no immediate toll on the user.

But what does this mean for Zelda's sealing ability? Despite behaving similarly, it doesn't look similar at all.

Let's look back at what happens when Sonia and Rauru combine their powers.

Rauru brings his hands together in a triangle shape, possibly invoking the same Triforce motif Zelda gives when she unleashes her power. The Secret Stone, which magnifies his light abilities, glows in a similar shade to Zelda's seal.

Sonia extends her right hand as her own tear glows. Despite it only amplifying her time power, her hand shows the same color Rauru's light gives off—as well as being in a spherical form.

Rauru draws in her power (and Zelda's, whose is a combination of both already and therefore adds no new properties) and forms a bright yellow light with a sphere around it.

It's better seen from this angle, where we can also see what looks like an inverted Triforce in the middle.

They're nowhere near the level of focus Zelda's Triforce has, but the triangles are definitely there.

And then it becomes a catastrophic force of power, able to wipe out an entire swarm of Molduga in a single hit.

Zelda's lineage's sealing ability is a culmination of all of this. It's Sonia and Rauru's powers combined, taking Hylia's seal, the Goddess's full power-

-and attaching that strength to something instantaneous and geared specifically to lock away darkness-

-by combining the power of time with the power of light.

Hylia's sealing power isn't Rauru's, but Zelda's is Hylia's AND Rauru's combined.

As a side note, this is also why I think, despite Rauru contributing his power, the magic remains only matrilineal. Hylia's descendants—meaning in this case, Sonia—are the only ones that carry her abilities. Rauru's power attached itself to Sonia's to create Zelda's, but Sonia's abilities—with or without Rauru's boost to them—can only be accessed by her daughters and granddaughters.

Strong enough to rival any magic in the world in sheer might, this later became known as the Light Force.

TLDR: Hylia's seal = Slow, nonlethal, exhausting toll, powerful, golden lightshow Rauru's seal = Fast, potentially lethal, concentrated, opposes Ganon, spherical lightshow Zelda's seal = Fast, concentrated, opposes Ganon, spherical (from Rauru), nonlethal, powerful, golden (from Hylia); a hybridization of both seals, the best of both worlds

•Studying the demise of a prince: the death of Arthur Tudor, Prince of Wales.•

“Arthur's return to Ludlow as a married man with his wife beside him was a cause for celebration. Feasts, festivals and entertainments supplied plenty of scope for the renewal of old relationships and the building of new ones. The early spring of 1502 was surely one of the most joyous times of Arthur's life.

It was possibly a high-point for King Henry. He was drawing up plans to deal with his latest rebel, the Earl of Suffolk, but even worries about another Yorkist claimant might not yet have diminished the shine from the success of his alliance with Spain and the ceremonies that cemented it. Whatever spectacles unfolded are hidden from us by a lack of evidence, however, and the first indication that they had reached Ludlow was the notification of Arthur's illness and death at the start of April.

Detail about the cause of Arthur's decease is imprecise. This results partly from the vagueness of medical knowledge available at the time and the fact that the information comes from commentators on the social side of courtly life and not from within the medical circles that attended the prince when he became ill.

The author of the best source, the record of Princess Catherine's arrival, was not at Ludlow and had not had a chance to talk in detail to those that had seen the prince during his very rapid decline.

It is in the record of the king's reaction to the news of his son's death that we get a deeper sense that this record was written by an eyewitness. It does also supply impressive detail on how much Arthur was loved by his parents.

The prince died on Saturday 2 April 1502 at Ludlow, between six and seven o'clock in the evening. His chamberlain, Sir Richard Pole, assembled Arthur's council and drafted letters to the king and court, then at Greenwich Palace. (…)

Henry VII's councillors received the letters first and, armed with the dreadful news, sent for the king's confessor, an observant friars.

The councillors asked the confessor to give the news to the king, in expectation that he would need much personal and spiritual comforting. On the Tuesday following Arthur's death, 5 April, the king was awoken earlier than usual and the confessor asked everyone else to leave the chamber.

After introducing the most painful subject with the Latin phrase, 'If we have received good things by the hand of God, why should we not receive evil?’, he then broke the news that Arthur had died.

Henry immediately sent for the queen so that they ‘wold take the peynfull sorowes togyders’. The writer of the account must have been on hand within the household, since he heard Queen Elizabeth's words of support to her husband.

The arrival of an express rider from Ludlow would certainly have drawn attention as the household staff of Greenwich Palace rose as part of their daily routine of service to the king and queen.

Elizabeth was recorded as explaining how the realm remained safe in King Henry's hands and how although he had been an only child he was preferred by God into the estate that he now enjoyed.

Their other children, Prince Henry and princesses Margaret and Mary, were healthy and preserved by God, and both she and the king were young enough to have more children, if it were God's will that it should be so.

She then comforted the king and was thanked for her loving words. When she returned to her own chamber, however, she was overcome with emotion:

[the] natural and moderly remebraunce of that great losse smote hir so sorrowful in the hert that those that were abought her were fayn to send for the Kyng to compforte her.

The king then came ‘of true, gentil and feithfull love’ without being informed of his wife’s distress. It was his turn to offer words to alleviate her pain as they both struggled for enough composure to give thanks for their son’s life.

This evidence offers one of the few instances of everyday human emotion apparent in descriptions of the life of Henry VII and Queen Elizabeth. These powerful hints of heartfelt feelings and humanity in the personality of the king are important reminders of just how incomplete is the evidence used by modern scholars to judge personal characteristics.

The king is often identified as cold and remote, but this is to judge him on evidence of how he governed and defended his throne. Those type of records would seldom reveal anything substantial on the private nature of a monarch that lived over 500 years ago.

If we do see a little more warmth and concern in Henry's actions, then it is natural to think that some of those traits would have been passed on to his son - especially in the period of intensive contact that father and son experienced in October and November 1501.

Royal children were seldom brought up in close proximity to their parents, and were particularly remote from their fathers. For Henry and Elizabeth, the difficulty of sending their first child into the care of other people, miles from wherever they spent time, was surely one of the more harrowing decisions of their lives.

At the time that decision was made by Henry VII and his wife, the regime was continually beset by plotters and enemies intent on pulling Henry VII from the throne.

King Henry saw Arthur's departure as essential to the sustainability of his family's ongoing rule. By separating the king and his heir, Henry was following a recent tradition among English rulers.

In the circumstances of his accession, however, it was more of a risk since the loyal core of Tudor friends and allies was so small. The regime's opponents were already seeking to make traitors of those Yorkists that had lent Henry VII their military power and service since 1485.

(…) It is also unclear if the prince's household suffered many other deaths at that time. All of the chief officers in the prince’s service deatived this period of infection, but there is some suggestion that Princess Catherine was quite ill at the same time as her husband.

That would not be surprising if the disease that killed him was a form of the sweating sickness which would have been passed through close physical contact and the transmission of infection in bodily fluids. She certainly did not attend his funeral, although a chair had been prepared for her; but whether this was due to her own illness or court protocol is uncertain.

If Catherine shared some of her husband's symptoms when few others in the royal household did, then it suggests that she and her husband had spent considerable time in each other's company - to the point that their proximity contributed directly to a fatal illness striking down Arthur in 1502 when it might have spared him in previous years…”

Nicolas can't believe the rabbit of the moon is real. He tries to live his normal life, go to school, work whatever odd job’s turn it’s this week and avoid Worick's stupid jokes. But his mind is with her. Additional Warnings: crime (theft)

This week began like all weeks did, with grocery shopping. A Sisyphean task. Outside, clouds grayed out the early morning, skin damp from drizzle. Inside, a pungent smell of overripe fruit and undercooled meat wafted into his nose, harsh light crept into every crevice of the small store.

Monday morning, as the proverbial attitude went, was quietly loathed. Many children rather turned in their beds one more time than heed the alarm clock, and many adults drank their coffee as a substitute for sleep; Worick did both unsuccessfully. A great yawn that almost lost him the cigarette he called breakfast. After all these years, Nicolas still wasn’t used to the smell. The first cars drove by commuting to a workplace that he had to imagine as drudgerous, school definitely was. Nicolas squinted his eyes against the artificial glare of the corner store, yearning suddenly for the natural brilliance of the moonlight. How colorful the night was, who could’ve guessed in this drab city.

Three aisles of overstocked shelves, a barely working fridge and the register was the whole interior of the corner store. The backroom wasn’t more than a broom closet. The floor plan hadn’t changed in a decade, only the cashiers rotated through whichever teenager needed pocket money this week. A routine so suffocatingly mundane, it must have undoubtedly been invented by fiends to snare the human soul. A thing Nicolas did not possess, he considered himself lucky. Whether a heart beat strong or weak, they all danced to the same bleak rhythm. Deeth sparith not lowe ne hy degré.

Hi! One thing I was wondering about was: How popular was Mary I when she died? The traditional historical view seems to be that she was very unpopular when she died and that people rejoiced when Elizabeth died. I'm not sure how much of this is true or just Elizabethan propaganda, so I wanted to ask how the English people perceived Mary when she died?

The problem as you say is the Elizabethan propaganda makes it hard to see the true reaction, especially as Elizabeth's ascension day later became a yearly celebration with jousts etc.

Obviously Protestants celebrated Mary's death, but Catholic's mourned despite her losing Calais etc; we can see this from Henry Machyn's diary. Though he wrote earlier in 1558 that "the French had won Calais, the wyche was the hevest tydyngs to London and to England that ever was heard of" when recording Mary's death he wrote "in the mornyng ded quen Mare [...] the wyche Jhesu have mercy on her solle! Amen."

It's a more personal goodbye, with even the exclamation mark indicating more feeling than how he recorded Edward being possibly poisoned in 1553 - "The vj day of July, as they say, dessessyd the nobull Kyng Edward the vj [...] sune and here to the nobull kyng Henry the viij; and he was poyssoned, as evere body says." So it suggests despite her bad reputation in matters aside from religion she was still liked if not loved by her supporters.

There's always a big deal made about people rejoicing when Mary died with bonfires and drinking and dancing in the street, but Henry VIII was similarly celebrated after the death of his father Henry VII:

And even after Elizabeth herself died, there were the same celebrations for James VI & I!:

I think, as with every monarch, some people grieved while others celebrated the new queen hoping the next reign would be kinder to them.
