#persian Font

[st-just]

Okay so turning around people's mythology and going 'but historically all that stuff you romanticize was awful!' is mostly just cheap shots of limited utility but-

The whole "Classical Athens(/Greece in general) is the font from which all of Western Civilization and Liberal Democracy springs! We owe them everything!' spiel is just incredibly funny when you read three pages past the end of the Persian War to 'and then Athens forced all its 'allies' into a brutal and exploitative empire in all but name, and then got into a brutal, generation-long war for regional hegemony. Which it lost."

(In much the same way I feel like more takedowns of the spartans should foreground how by the end of the Peloponnesian War they were de facto Persian proxies)

Original stall plates by @objuct [dl here] ♡ [ I made them for all the current horses, but I still have to take pics of the other saves with theirs♡ ] [Also! if I released a few packs of recolors of these name plates with more simlish name swatches would people be interested?

mi hanno chiesto che cos’è la tradizione. Ci vorrebbe un libro per spiegarlo, e spiegarmelo (...).  Si parlava di tradizione gastronomica che oggi sembra l’unica tradizione possibile. Meglio che niente, e però ce ne sarebbero molte altre: la tradizione onomastica (figli con i nomi dei nonni), la tradizione liturgica (messe in latino), la tradizione architettonica (case con scuri o persiane, chiese a forma di chiesa)... Oggi la tradizione, qualunque tradizione, viene percepita come un fatto sentimentale, peggio, nostalgico. La tradizione come passatismo, ed è l’accezione di Pasolini: “Io sono una forza del Passato. / Solo nella tradizione è il mio amore”.   Proposta così è del tutto naturale che a un giovane la tradizione disgusti. Mette tristezza anche a me. Allora questa tradizione prima che un sentimento va considerata un patrimonio. Un patrimonio materiale, non troppo diverso dal patrimonio immobiliare che invece non disgusta nessuno, nemmeno i giovani: fa comodo a tutti l’appartamento di nonna...  La tradizione va perpetuata perché è fonte di senso e al contempo di reddito. Venendo al cibo: i locali alla moda passano presto di moda, le trattorie tipiche prosperano di generazione in generazione.

Part 11: Shake Hands with Gozer

[Beware of strong language, mention of all kinds of death, gore, and Lovecraftian horror.]

[SLIDE: Shandor Studios, with the All Hail Gozer logo.]

[faint sound of a car alarm]

L: Oh, heck, it’s Gandalf…

[chirp-chirp]

[car alarm ceases]

A [dismissive]: You know, this is really not doing it for me anymore. The whole deal. Not even with a camera. No. Fuck it. Your personality is a real turn-off.

R: These chairs are still really comfy, though.

[rumbling, squeaking]

G: [muffled, into phone]: UH-HUH… UH-HUH… IN MY DEFENSE, THEY INSULTED MY DOGS AND SUGGESTED I ASSOCIATE WITH ELON MUSK, ABI… YES, ADMITTEDLY, BUT THERE’S NO NEED TO BE RUDE… MM-HM. WHAT’S IT CALLED? “CLIMATE CHANGE”? [with sudden excitement] OH! “GLOBAL WARMING!” YES! HOW LONG? OH, THAT’S NOT LONG AT ALL! NO, NO, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE IRONY. DIY APOCALYPSE! OH, YES, WE MUST GIVE THEM A CHANCE, MUSTN’T WE? HA-HA-HA. BUT, UH, DO YOU THINK THERE MIGHT BE… A LAKE OF FIRE? EVEN A SMALL ONE? [laughter] WOW! THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!

L: I don’t like where this is going…

A: Rocz, where the hell are my cigarettes?

R: I fed them to a dog.

A: What?

G: SO ABOUT SEVEN BILLION YEARS ON THE OUTSIDE? WELL, I GET BORED, ABI. YOU KNOW I GET BORED. WILL YOU KEEP PODCASTING AND KILLING THE SMARMY MORTAL “JAMES BOND”? HA! ALL RIGHT, I SUPPOSE I WILL MANAGE…

D: Did… Did Abi just say we’re going to keep doing KJB for the next seven billion years…?

L: Sounds like the fate of the world kinda depends on it…

A: Where is my fucking Slimfast bar?

R: Ibid.

V: Will you have a slice of meat bouquet, Lord Alice?

A: [screams]

R: You two gotta stop doin’ that.

Z: Lord Alice is mortal, Vinz Clortho. You are supposed to feed the mortals frozen peas. It is good for them. The demon David Tennant says so.

L: I think you’re a little mixed up about that…

R: Your dimension gets Amazon Prime?

Z: All hell dimensions have Amazon Prime. Where else are we supposed to get our blood plasma?

V: But we have no frozen peas to give, and we must depart our mortal hosts soon!

Z: You may rub our tummies, if you wish. It is good for your mortal brain meat.

L: Aww!

Z: Not you, Vengeful Mortal of Insults!

L: Well, this has been a total fucking waste of time!

A: Get away from me, you smell like Marlboros and despair.

V: It is the Slimfast bar…

Z: You want some of this, Frodo?

D [coldly]: No thank you, Sigourney.

R [warmly]: Good Terror Dogs… Good, good puppies…

G: HA-HA, RIGHT! THESE THINGS HAPPEN! WELL, I’LL SEE YOU AT THE CLUB TONIGHT. CIAO, BESTIE!

L: “Bestie”?

A: [sigh] It’s Mesopotamian rock-paper-scissors, don’t worry about it.

D: To think, all this time, all we had to do was summon Abigail Thorn…

G: ALL CATS CAN SPEAK WHATEVER LANGUAGE THEY WANT, WHENEVER THEY WANT.

P: Das ist ein süßes Kopftuch.

A: Um… Danke?

M: Никогда больше не трогай мой животик.

A: [snickers]

G: SO! [claps hands] SORRY FOR THIS LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING. HOW CAN I MAKE IT UP TO YOU?

[brief pause]

G: WHAT?

[crosstalk, complaining, “We are covered in horse viscera!” “Clean this shit off!” etc.]

G: RIGHT. SORRY.

L: And I want to keep my new van!

G: YOUR VAN BELONGS TO ISHTAR, BUT I’LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO. WOULD YOU LIKE TO FINISH YOUR PODCAST, MORTALS?

A: Oh, yes! Of fucking course we would!

[Rapid scrolling through 10 slides or so before landing on an image of Ivo Shandor.]

A: And in conclusion… Ivo Shandor can eat shit, I’m glad he got ripped in half, art deco architecture is hideous, I disavow everything Sumerian — except Liam’s van and possibly Abi — and billionaires contribute nothing of value to society! [panting] Does anyone have anything else?

L: Pronoun checks will save your fucking life! If any of you out there ever give us shit for the pronoun check ever again, I got a [bleep] with your name on it!

G: SERIOUSLY. THAT COLONEL-SANDERS-LOOKING MOTHERFUCKER SUMMONED ME OUT OF A HOT BATH AND MISGENDERED ME ON PURPOSE — I’M GLAD I RIPPED HIM IN HALF TOO!

R: [drawing devil horns and an unflattering mustache on Shandor with the mouse] We have a segment on this podcast we like to call Safety Third…

A: What?

L: Oh my God, Rocz…

D: Fucking seriously?!

R: I’m sorry, but rigidly adhering to our unhinged podcast format has just saved our lives and possibly the entire world — and if we’d just done our goddamn intros we would’ve avoided that whole mess — so we’re going to do a Safety Third! Alice, the drop, please.

[“Shake hands with danger” drop]

[SLIDE: A pastoral oil painting that seems to be missing a figure with a shepherd's crook.]

G: OOH, THIS LOOKS FUN. CAN I PLAY TOO?

WTYP: NO.

D: And clear the slime out of my awesome control room.

G: OF COURSE.

D [suspiciously]: Be honest with me. If someone were to press a button and cover you in boiling hot lava, would that be an inconvenience?

G: OOH, DO YOU HAVE LAVA? I JUST LOVE LAVA!

D [slowly fading, walking away from the mics]: This has been a fucking waste of time!

[door slam]

R: “Dear Justin, Alice (or name pending)…”

G: IS THERE NOT GOING TO BE ANY LAVA, THEN?

R [with determination]: “Dear Justin, Alice (or name pending), Liam (yay, Liam) and potential Guest.”

G [distorted, too close to the mic]: HELLO, MORTALS! I AM PODCASTING!

L: Shut the fuck up.

R: “...I am an art-restorer by trade, a profession which, I’m sure you know, has its dangers. Apart from the usual face-melting chemicals, we deal with a lot of paintings of dubious provenance, many of which come into our hands with curses or angry spirits attached. It’s a little like working at the humane society. Most of them can be cleaned up and rehabilitated if you’re careful, but a select few will try to kill you. It’s not their fault, but you do always need to be aware of the hazard. For example, the attached image once contained the figure of a little girl who would slowly approach the foreground of the painting over a period of weeks, before crawling out of the frame and attempting to strangle everyone in the room with her shepherd’s crook.”

A: Oh. Yeah. Pretty standard.

L: Get a new bit, ghost children!

G: I TOOK THE FORM OF A DEMONIC LITTLE GIRL ONCE!

A: No one cares.

R: “We gave her a juice box and some crackers, and let her watch a Disney video (Aladdin, but I’m not sure if you can say that)...”

L: Dammit, how many times do we have to tell you? Do not write it if you don’t want Rocz to say it!

A: Was the time he almost finished reciting that Ashanti death curse not enough for you people?

L: You’re just goddamn lucky he mispronounced it!

R: “And now she’s happily attending the local junior high school. A lot of attached spirits are just hungry, or bored, or both, and are easily dealt with. After they’ve lived through a few near-misses like that, some of my colleagues start to become jaded and sloppy. For example, my boss, whom we will call Timothy Q. Jackass (the Q stands for ‘Clueless’)...”

L: Good. Good name.

G: I ONCE GAVE A JACKASS THE GIFT OF PROPHECY!

A: Go away.

G: …HIS NAME WAS TIRESIAS OF THEBES! WHAT? NOTHING? NOBODY?

L: Get some new references.

A: Read another elegy.

G: DO YOU HAVE A RIMSHOT IN HERE…?

A: Touch my laptop and die.

R: “One morning, Mr. Jackass rolled up to the studio with a tinted etching (image not attached for reasons which will become obvious).”

L: Vigo.

A: Fucking Vigo.

G: THAT CARPATHIAN CUNT AND HIS GODDAMN ART COMMISSIONS. NOBODY WANTS TO PAINT YOU, VIGO, NOT WITH THAT HAIRCUT.

[stifled laughter]

G [hopeful]: …OR THOSE SHOES?

A: [clearing throat] Don’t press your luck.

R: “I recognized a certain Carpathian with whom you are no doubt familiar…”

G: HA! YOU CALLED IT!

L: Interrupting is a privilege, and we will mail you a certificate when you have earned it.

R: “...and, of course, I advised Mr. Jackass to douse it in holy oil and set it on fire, as per the established procedure. Imagine my surprise when he told me he wanted me to clean and restore it.”

L: No. Don’t do it.

A: Step away from the abyss.

G: UNIONIZE.

[pause]

G: WHAT? ARE YOU MORTALS FUCKING SCABS?

A: …Alright, I am not autistic — that I know of — but I have no idea how to deal with this situation.

L: You enjoy human suffering but are pro-union?

G: YOU HUMANS WILL TOUCH A CAT’S TOES UNTIL IT BITES YOU OUT OF FRUSTRATION, BUT YOU WILL STILL FEED THEM AND PET THEM.

[pause]

R: Milkshake, Pizza Boy, will you ever forgive me?

M: Lo mismo ocurre con nosotros, cuando os enseñamos el culo antes del amanecer.

R: Is that a yes?

A: All I know is how to order a beer and ceviche…

L: Rocz, for God’s sake, finish the letter so we can get in my van and go home.

R: “I told Mr. Jackass what he could do with his etching, in language that is not very podcast-friendly, and he replied, and I quote, ‘Don’t be a pussy, it’s just an etching. It’s probably Latvian or some shit.’”

G: VIGO THE LATVIAN MAKES A DAMN FINE BLOOD SAUSAGE.

[stifled laughter, a certain amount of snickering]

G [wounded]: WHAT? I AM BEING SERIOUS. SAY WHAT YOU LIKE ABOUT JELLYFISH AND CEPHALOPODS, BUT IF YOU COME AT VIGO THE LATVIAN’S BLOOD SAUSAGE, I WILL END YOU.

[hysterical cackling, even from the cats]

A: Oh, God, oh, fuck no… Xe tried to kill us!

L: And xe’s doin’ it again!

R: It’s called catharsis, Alice! Laugh or cry!

[pandemonium ending in sniffles]

R: Ah… Ah… Oh, God… Lemme see here… “I reiterated my refusal, forcefully, and Mr. Jackass decided he’d teach me a lesson by restoring the etching himself. The next few weeks were remarkably quiet, with regards to Mr. Jackass, save for occasional instances of chanting. He rarely left his office and appeared to be sleeping there. He was also going through a lot of black candles. There was a single attempt to order ‘an unsullied infant boy’ from DoorDash, which was not successful. The next day, Mr. Jackass called in sick, so I figured he was at the exorcist’s and that would be the end of it. Imagine my surprise when I turned on the six o’clock news and found him declaring his candidacy for City Comptroller. From what I could gather, his platform included human sacrifice and a ‘skull throne tax.’ I had my hand on the phone to call an exorcist and report him, but my mean streak got the better of me. ‘Let’s see how this plays out,’ I thought.”

L: Did… Did he win?

R: “Don’t worry. Vigo the Carpathian, running as Mr. Jackass, suffered a resounding defeat and eventual exorcism. However, we restored and reclaimed so many paintings during his extended sabbatical, that before Mr. Jackass even had a chance to dye the blond bleach job out of his hair, the higher ups called him and told him, and I quote, ‘Don’t come back.’ That is how I became head of the art restoration department!”

[cheers, applause]

R: “The moral of this story, if there is one, is, ‘never interrupt your stupid boss when he is making a mistake.’”

G: A MODERN DAY SUN TZU!

R: “Love to you all, and be well.”

A: Aww, that’s actually very nice.

L: I hope Vigo fried that guy’s hair so bad he never recovers.

G: DAMN, I COULD GO FOR SOME BLOOD SAUSAGE.

R: This concludes Safety Third.

[“Shake hands with danger” drop]

R: Does anyone have any commercials?

L: Rocz…

R: Our podcasting format saved the world.

L: Okay, okay, but I got nothin’.

A: Same. You know where you can find us.

L: Right, we live in your basement. We’re watching you right now.

G: SAME!

R: If we want more Gozer the Gozerian, for some reason, where else can we find you?

G: IN YOUR NIGHTMARES!

R: Of course.

[SLIDE: The Amityville Horror House.]

R: Our next episode…

G: OH! OH! WAIT! I ALSO HAVE A TUMBLR!

A: Oh, my God, I have got to get off that hellsite…

R: Our next episode is on the Amityville Horror…

G: OOH, I LOVE THAT ONE! CAN I FIND IT WHEREVER PODCASTS ARE FOUND?

R: Uh…

A [tightly]: Don’t tell xem, just end the episode.

G: WHAT? TELL ME WHAT?

L: End the episode! END IT BEFORE DEVON HITS THE LAVA BUTTON!

G: HI MOM! HI GRANDMA! I LOVE YOU!

[soothing public domain music]

D [not drunk enough to stop being annoyed but still very drunk]: This is Future Devon… Fuck, I mean Present Devon. I have consumed all the liquor and ice cream I demanded from Gozer, and I am going to bed. If, as I suspect, this has all been an epic-length fanfiction from the diseased brain of some individual out there on the internet, when I wake up in the morning, I expect not to exist. This version of me, I mean. So, I would just like to take this opportunity to say: Fuck you. You will die alone. The pet raven in no way makes up for any of this bullshit — although I cherish him and have named him after Sir Ian McKellen. All these fucking Chekov’s guns all over the place, and you didn’t let me use my lava button even once. I will never forgive you for this. I am so done with podcasting, and everything Sumerian, but apparently I still have several billion years of Kill James Bond to go. [sigh] Okay.

[shuffling, sound of a laptop closing]

D: Come on, Sir Ian, let’s go to oblivion.

[long pause]

SIR IAN (I): This is Sir Ian, I am the raven who is talking now, my pronouns are he and him, and I thought you’d all like to know I work for Pazuzu. Don’t tell Dev, it would only upset them. I suppose I’ll put this up on the Patreon for them…?

Intimate Thomastair Headcanons (N/S/F/W)

...As promised many moons ago. I'm asexual, sorry if these are lame. They took a long time because I wanted to write them in a mindful, character-driven way. I hope they're not disappointing.

(Note: a few of these points do talk about past sexual trauma because of Charles. These could potentially be triggering, so I am putting them in green font. You can choose to read the green ones or not. Ball's in your court. The other ones do not contain triggering content.)

If you've read either of my E-rated Thomastair fics here and here, you'll know this one and hopefully have gotten a good laugh out of it. They talk about sex using old-timey, outdated sex euphemisms. This starts as a funny way to make Thomas feel more comfortable voicing his needs and talking about sex. They share a love of language and a good sense of humor surrounding that. But as Thomas becomes bolder, it becomes a sort of inside joke. They get more and more purposely ridiculous with sex euphemisms and dick slang. For example, I think Alastair calls Thomas's dick a "plum tree shaker" in one of my fics, which is a euphemism from the 1600s. It feels very Them to me.

I think that because of their pasts and their traumas, sex does not feel like the most intimate part of their relationship. There are emotional intimacies like sleeping next to each other* and talking and comforting each other as they heal and process that trauma. There are even daily routines that feel more raw and vulnerable, especially for Alastair who could not fathom anyone ever wanting to share an actual life with him beyond sex. I think that sex is more of a "let's have fun like we always do" thing for them, it's just another activity for them to enjoy together. Because they always have fun together, so why not do it this way, too?

* Sleeping next to Thomas feels especially intimate for Alastair, because he thought no one would ever want to before.

This one's not as happy or cute, so I'm sorry. But I think that Alastair absolutely has a very complicated relationship with sex because of his traumatic relationship with Charles. There's some canon evidence to support this, imo, when he's standing on the rooftop and seems to think that Thomas does not genuinely like him even after they're intimate. Also, when Charles first comes over in ChoG, he insinuates that Charles must want sex because there's no other reason for him to come over. So I think that Alastair likely simultaneously views sex as something that "makes him valuable" in a relationship, and something that he is good at, but also as something that he could feel used after if not given the appropriate care. I think that this is going to be a long road to overcome, but I'm sure that Thomas is very patient and loving and comforting and makes sure that Alastair knows that he is not being used. He is loved. And Alastair understands that and enjoys being intimate with Thomas, because it makes him feel loved and respected. But he also has this weird view of sex because Charles messed up his sense of physical intimacy, and he'll need to work through that with Thomas's help.

Likewise, and this is the first NSFW Thomastair fic I wrote, I think that Thomas is hesitant to initiate a sexual relationship with Alastair after the infirmary scene because he does not want Alastair to feel like he is taking advantage of him. (Of course, Alastair does not think this and is touched by his regard, but Thomas is extremely considerate, as we know).

Let's switch gears, shall we? Amp up the spice here, decrease the trauma talk and sadness.

Anyway, Thomas likes swearing in Spanish. This is canon. So, lots of swearing in Spanish. Alastair thinks it's hot.

Alastair likes swearing in Persian, This is canon. So, lots of swearing in Persian. Thomas thinks it's hot.

In fact, they can dirty talk in like 10 different languages. It's great.

Alastair naturally is better at initiating sex because he's more experienced and more vocal. But he wants Thomas to be willing to do it, because he thinks it's important to be able to talk about sex with someone before you have it with them. So in the beginning, he tries to get Thomas to initiate, to kind of help him feel more comfortable. Once he gets there, it's about 50/50 for initiation, which is quite honestly the ideal state. This has some canon basis to me too because of Alastair making Thomas more bold and confident. Don't see why this wouldn't translate to sexy situations, too.

Part of this communication is naturally that Alastair will periodically talk about Charles (obviously not, like, during sex). It's something that haunts him a bit, and it's something that Thomas never wants him to shy away from because he thinks Thomas will be jealous or upset. Thomas wants to be there for his soulmate and understands that this is a Bad Thing That Happened, and he is not jealous. He is angry on Alastair's behalf. The way he sees it, Charles will probably never have a real conversation with Alastair again, and Thomas gets to go home to Alastair every day. So really, there's a clear winner here, and it ain't Charles fucking Buford.

They both insist on verbal consent every time. They're too important to each other not to.

I am getting cockblocked by a text block limit on bulleted lists, so I need to insert this line so Tumblr lets me publish the post. Fuck you, Tumblr.

Alastair's a naturally selfless person in canon. Don't see why this wouldn't translate to spicy situations, too. He loves giving pleasure, especially with his hands and mouth. Probably King of the Best Blowjobs/Handjobs Ever. He'll kiss Thomas everywhere and touch him all over until he feels super, super good. (You should read my 2nd smut fic if you like this one. Blowjob galore.)

Thomas always at least offers to repay the favor. He never wants Alastair to feel used again, not after Charles took and took from him.

Thomas initially Really Does Not Like how big things are. Alastair loves it. Alastair loves all of Thomas's body. Thomas almost cries when Alastair touches his body for the first time and tells him how beautiful his dick is. (I think this has canon basis because he almost cried in the carriage when Alastair called his chest beautiful, ngl.)

This is mutual. No one has ever called Alastair handsome before Thomas. Thomas adores how Alastair looks and feels, everywhere. Alastair never felt so treasured and teared up a bit.

They just genuinely adore each other's bodies. No lights off or sheets to hide under for them.

Also, constant comparisons to various classical statues. Like the sex euphemisms, these get more and more ridiculous over time.

Both of them are connoisseurs of gentle, loving sex. Watching how canonically sweet and tender they are with each other both physically and emotionally basically confirms this for me. Can't see either of them being rough or careless, even playfully or as a game. Don't think Alastair would like that after Charles, and don't think Thomas would be comfortable with it because of his size and anxiety.

DEFINITELY see a LOT of teasing, though. Like, a LOT of it. A LOT A LOT A LOT. Picking on each other playfully, willfully misunderstanding each other (a la 'take your clothes off,' 'okay, Angel, fine, I'll peel my socks off'), slow touches that aren't quite where the other one wants them but so so close, yup, that's the stuff.

And a lot of stupid interruptions to laugh that somehow does not ruin the mood and just makes it better.

Thomas is really comfortable with Alastair and is willing to ask for things and make requests and talk dirty while in the throes of passion. He gets embarrassed right afterward and Alastair is like reassuring him that it's good to express his needs, but Thomas worries that Alastair thinks poorly of him for it. He does not. The cycle repeats itself because Thomas is just too goddamn comfortable with Alastair.

I think that there are certain sex acts that Alastair might dislike at first because he associates them with Charles. Specifically, I think he may not like penetrative sex, because Charles seems like a kind of self-satisfying douchebag with 0 creativity. So they probably do other stuff like moving together, oral sex, mutual masturbation, etc instead.

They're really private about their sex lives, even more so than most people. Because it's something that's just for them, and they want to keep it between themselves. Matthew always fishes for deets. They make up wildly inaccurate falsehoods that are bold, obvious lies. This makes Matthew more determined.

Matthew never gets the tea. Such is his tragedy.

They have 100% had full-on sex in a carriage or twenty before.

That's it for me now, I hope you enjoyed these stupid little headcanons <3

🇺🇸🇵🇹🇧🇷 How old do cats live and tips for them to live longer. Several factors affect your life expectancy, two main ones are race and lifestyle. They usually live 15 to 20 years, but some live much longer. .

.

The Birman (or Sacred Cat of Burma), Siamese, Burmese and Persian breeds are at the top of the list, while the Bengal, Abyssinian and Ragdoll are the least long-lived. In general, mongrel cats seem to live longer than purebred cats.

Females also have slightly longer lifespans than males. .

.

Tips to prolong the life of the cat:

Keep it indoors whenever possible! .

.

Neutered cats live longer because they are less likely to roam at night or fight with others. Surgery is usually performed when the cat is about 4 months old, but it can be performed at any age. .

.

Keep him at a healthy weight. Do not overfeed him and encourage him to move around, for example by playing with him and incorporating games at mealtimes. .

.

Buy quality, nutritious and balanced feed. Make sure you have specific sources of protein (chicken, salmon, lamb, etc.) and not generic “meat”. Avoid feeds that contain a lot of grain. Offer wet food (sachet or can), which contains a lot of water. .

.

Provide clean, fresh water. Cats develop liver problems because they don't like water very much, and they have problems in their hydration. .

.

Take him to the vet for regular checkups. Once a year is sufficient, except in an emergency between appointments. The veterinarian can also diagnose, treat and prevent parasites such as fleas and worms. .

.

Keep him happy! He needs to be stimulated. Make the house pleasant by giving her toys, cat tree, cozy corners and perches. Still, there's nothing like sharing special moments with him, so spend more time together. .

.

Cats have 7 lives? It's an ancient Egyptian legend, they have always been seen as mysterious animals.

Guinness Book says that the oldest cat in the world was Creme Puff, from the USA, female who died in 2005, at 38 years and 3 days old! Equivalent to 168 human years!

Quantos anos vivem os gatos e dicas para que vivam mais. Vários fatores afetam sua expectativa de vida, dois principais são a raça e o estilo de vida. Eles vivem geralmente de 15 a 20 anos, mas alguns vivem muito mais. .

.

A raça Birman (ou Gato Sagrado da Birmânia), Siamês, Burmês e Persa estão no topo da lista, enquanto o gato-de-bengala, o Abissínio e o Ragdoll são os menos longevos. No geral, os sem raça definida parecem viver mais do que gatos puros de raça.

As fêmeas também têm expectativa de vida pouco mais longa que a dos machos. .

.

Dicas para para prolongar a vida do gato:

Mantenha-o dentro de casa, sempre que possível! .

.

Gatos castrados vivem mais porque são menos propensos a passear à noite ou a brigar com outros. A cirurgia geralmente é realizada quando o gato tem cerca de 4 meses, mas pode ser realizada em qualquer idade. .

.

Mantenha-o em um peso saudável. Não alimente-o em excesso e incentive-o a se movimentar, por exemplo, brincando com ele e incorporando jogos à hora de comer. .

.

Compre ração de qualidade, nutritiva e equilibrada. Veja se tem fontes específicas de proteína (frango, salmão, cordeiro, etc.) e não “carne” genérica. Evite rações que contenham muitos cereais. Ofereça ração úmida (sachê ou lata), que contém muita água. .

.

Disponibilize água limpa e fresca. Gatos desenvolvem problemas hepáticos porque não gostam muito de água, e possuem problemas em sua hidratação. .

.

Leve-o ao veterinário para exames regulares. Uma vez por ano é suficiente, exceto no caso de emergência entre consultas. O veterinário também pode diagnosticar, tratar e prevenir parasitas, como pulgas e vermes. .

.

Mantenha-o feliz! Ele necessita ser estimulado. Torne a casa agradável dando-lhe brinquedos, árvore de gatos, cantos e poleiros aconchegantes. Mesmo assim, não há nada como partilhar momentos especiais com ele, então passem mais tempo juntos. .

.

Gatos têm 7 vidas? É uma antiga lenda egípcia, eles sempre foram vistos como animais misteriosos.

Indonesia🇮🇩 is a fight that I cannot won. Even thousand times I've tried. Time to escape, ○ Outdonesia✴️,♱.

Beside that, I'm them but at the same time I'm not them.

I'm more of Old Oriental🇹🇷🇮🇷 Polish Uncle Gaffer🇬🇧🇵🇱 on the pub inside, w/ so many Interracial materials on me. ☪️✴️🦅[🐉🔵]🌕☭🛕.

If you ask me. My childhood is in Indonesia, and I will rebuilt it by my own hands for the future. But it's the last place that I want to visit and spent the rest of end quarters of my life with. ±30 years this & 30 years there. I love cold weather; Katowice, İstanbul, Balkan or else, I'll see.

Throwing back,

It just really a brainer for me. In Poland🇵🇱 you either have a Microsoft Paint to advertise a thing or a very skillful graphic designer to do it. No Inbetweeners.

But I like the slow pace. The place where I grew everywhere is a very good design no Paint at all but it's everywhere, print this and that, print-print-print-print, streets are so full of fonts. Not building but poster papers.

There's ±30 years there, and my own 30± next.

And I non-stop talking to it for hours in the bus, just so you know, I don't have a real deal childhood here🇮🇩. It's scary if you think it. And I will march to the death just to fuck you.

And unplanned encounter. That makes my trip very worthwhile, only that. Just that. Since its, 👍woah how to say it😮‍💨🤏. It's like I found invert of my body. Will I ever have sex. 😮‍💨. To it. If you read this just so you know, the moment I sit next to you I really want to, apologies it's FULL ROMANCE. But your form is... I want to fuck you.

I also seek Turkish Balkan, blue-eyed Levant & Persian girls. That choose not to do anal. For my own reminiscence.

I came across this and did a double take:

Because my mind immediatly jumped to seeing this as one of this "fun" commercial Japanese fonts, stuff of that kind:

But no, the first image is in Persian, this is the Perso-Arabic script.

Would you do 7, 12, and 19 for the fic writer asks, please?

7. your preferred writing fonts

When I was first starting, I used to pick a different font for each story I wrote, or at least change it depending on what genre I was writing. Nowadays, ain't nobody got time for that, so I just use the default Times New Roman.

12. a trope you’re really into right now

Hmm, tropes...I don't normally think in terms of tropes, but I guess...I don't know what you call it, but in writing I've been thinking a lot about that thing where two people are separately agonizing over what the other thinks of them, but then when they finally get a chance to talk about it, they realize they had nothing to worry about. Like, maybe she's worrying, "Oh no, what if he thinks I'm ugly? If only there was something more I could do than take care of him when he's sick!" while he's thinking, "She's so beautiful! But she probably wants nothing to do with me because I'm always a burden on her." I am such a sucker for that.

19. the most interesting topic you’ve researched for a fic

We'll have to reach waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back for this one. When I was a teenager, I wrote a (not great) novelization of the video game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. In that game, there's one part where one of the characters says jokingly, "If you can break that door down, you must have the strength of Rustam!" I don't remember exactly how I found the thread to pull on, but I was always curious about whether this was a reference to an actual thing or just something they made up. So when I set about writing the novelization, I did some research, and ended up completely falling down the rabbit hole and reading the epic poem Shahnameh (The Book of Kings) by the Persian poet Ferdowsi. It's the mythical-historical account of the kings of the Persian empire, and sure enough, it does include tales of the mighty Rustam. I don't even remember if reading the Shahnameh elicited anything new that I put into the fic or not, but it was super interesting all the same!

I did this so much when I wrote missions for Arma3, all the mission names were Imperial saints from wh40k, all the objective names had a theme, ship and character names aswell, one was greek sweets and pastries, one was animals in Dutch, plenty of things where just the words translated into Persian/Farsi. The binary code on the sides always had meaning, sometimes there was size 1 font giving out hints, the rare voice lines always were personal. I loved it. And even if one single person out of the 30-70 that played them noticed them I would be happy.

cannot recommend more putting secrets and hints in your creative work that you dont expect anyone to figure out

[mi4019ayodyarajakaruna]

Cover page

Maria already had an idea for the cover page. Her idea was to have chess pieces on a square rule page.

We discussed about it more on our group and I tried to come up with a strong meaning behind the cover page.

I referred to these articles in order to figure out this meaning.

Maria found the below article to support our argument for the cover page.

Shiza had a few suggestions for the cover page too with her research.

Anyways, we still haven't finalized the cover page. I will add more details to this same post once we finalize everything.

Designing the cover page -

Shiza and Maria worked in designing the podcast.

The sketch -

Maria and Shiza worked on drawing it digitally.

More about work process -

I finalized the symbolism by once again going through the articles I found.

Symbolism -

The chessboard serves as a representation of the boundaries and regulations that students must adhere to within Sri Lanka's education system. The four microphones in the foreground symbolize the host and guest speakers who contribute to the discussion. The microphones in this composition also represents competition or war among students in this education system.Fire signifies the intense opinions surrounding local and private education systems in Sri Lanka. The use of orange signifies the significance and immediacy of the topic. In general, the cover art depicts the podcast "Academia Wars" as a platform for passionate discussions on the crucial subject of education reform in Sri Lanka. The combination of fire and blue evokes a sense of urgency and potential controversy, while the four microphones represent the diverse voices that will be part of this critical conversation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I and Shiza worked on Mood boards

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shiza worked on the colour palette

I worked on the symbolism for colours as well

The mood boards display a modern and polished design. The combination of colors creates a noticeable contrast, mixed with a sense of excitement.

The fire symbolizes energy and liveliness, representing a podcast that is thought-provoking, bold, and sparks conversations.

Chessboards symbolize strategy, intellect, and competition. This signifies a podcast focused on critical thinking and problem-solving.

Microphones universally symbolize communication and self-expression.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shiza worked on typography in the podcast cover. She used white because it is simple and it is not overwhelming. She margined the bottom texts with black and red.

But all of us felt like the bottom font is not that clear. So she changed the margin to blue.

Final Cover Page Design -
