Estoy muy feliz de que pese a los baches que hemos tenido por el camino durante estos meses que han pasado sigamos unidos el día de tu cumpleaños porque puedo formar parte una vez más de las personas que tanto te queremos y valoramos este gran día donde vino al universo una persona que a muchos nos hace sonreír cuando más lo necesitamos, no hace falta mencionar lo especial que eres para mí porque creo que tanto nosotros como mel tenemos muy presente lo mucho que nos queremos como grupo de amigos pero aún así voy a decir que aprecio demasiado tenerte en mi vida y a mi lado, jamás me habría imaginado el día que nos conocimos que llegaríamos hasta aquí y me siento muy agradecido de que pase lo que pase consigamos llegar a una solución ya que sabemos que nuestro vínculo es lo más importante y ninguno quiere perderlo, me alegra mucho estar cerca de ti y lo fuerte que es nuestra amistad, por muchas cosas que pasen nunca perderá su esencia y en verdad a día de hoy todavía la siento como los primeros días que empezamos a hablar los tres, suelo tener la mala suerte de no conectar fácilmente con mucha gente o agobiarme por contestar a veces pero con vosotros nunca tengo que pensar nada ni preocuparme de sentirme juzgado, todo me sale natural, sois las personas con las que más me siento siendo yo mismo y es un alivio tener gente así junto a mí con la que poder contar, TE AMO MUCHO MARIO DE MI TOAD/LUIGI/SONIC, BARNEY DE MI TED, NATE DE MI DAN, ALEX DE MI MARTY, RAYO DE MI MATE Y MILES DE PERSONAJES MÁS QUE SON LITERALMENTE NUESTRAS VIDAS ROBADAS los voy a denunciar ya mismo

Felicidades arthuzero 🥹 por mucho que haga el intento tanto a ti como a nuestra melodiana nunca llegaré a agradeceros al 100% lo seguro que me hacéis sentir en nuestro espacio, os quiero con todo mi corazón mis guapos

Is there any way you could repost your old vids from when you were smaller? It would make for the best comparison OAT!! Also, what’s your honest opinion on the topic of cake vs pie? Please answer in Times New Roman font + double spaced, no word limit or requirement

smthn like this? :3

but okay-if you have bad cake you can soak it in milk/ sweetened condensed milk to make an AWESOME cake. if you have bad pie you just have bad pie. you can't fix it... but also, good pie depends on the crust!! and many are just not worth it!! if the crust is not mostly butter, cookies, graham crackers, or smthn like that... not worth eating imo. or you should just scoop out the filling and pretend it's a weird pot de crème...

however. i gained at least 15lbs off of those edward's hershey's pies <333 so fucking good

The Next Duke of Westchestermuenster

Here's something I don't think anyone has clocked yet. Lord Emil Graham de Vanily is of the peerage; specifically, he is the Duke of Westchestermunster. As Emil's most immediate male relatives, either Adrien or Felix will eventually inherit that title.

Adrien seems the most likely candidate. Titles like these usually pass to the eldest male descendant when the holder dies, and Adrien was born before Felix, as established in "Representation."

But, consider that Emil might have disinherited Emilie for marrying against his wishes, or traded her the family's Parisian pied-à-terre in exchange for her birthright. (Emil does not seem like someone who gives things away for free, even to family.) In that scenario, the title might bypass Adrien and transfer to Felix.

At twenty one years of age, Calleigh Sheridan had very little to complain about in her life. She loved university, studying creative writing and folklore, working as a barista in between writing essays. It was a lot, but she loved it. But, she could admit, she was more than a little burnt out. Which is why she didn’t fight too hard when her friends encouraged her to go away for reading week. Find a cute little town to visit or a cottage to rent, spend the week holed up with her books and assignments, stay on top of school but reset with a change of scenery. It was a good suggestion, really, and the only challenge it posed was deciding where to go. Until she came across a postcard for Storybrooke, Maine, left behind at a table in her cafe. She couldn’t explain what was drawing her in, but the next thing she knew she was in her car, driving to Maine. Just one week to escape her life, that was all that she needed.

Au-Gust 2023 Day 5: Pet Sitters

Will had a problem. 

He had another teaching conference next week, his third in six months, and he had to be out of town for almost four days. 

And all the pet sitters refused to take his pack. 

Will knew it was his own fault, he may have been a little strict with a few sitters in the past and gotten angry at the slightest mistake, but this was his pack. 

His family. 

He wasn’t gonna just let anyone take them. 

Which was why he finally caved and went to PamperedPooch.com. 

PamperedPooch.com was a very expensive pet sitting site where the creme de la creme of society found their pet sitters. The cheapest sitter was almost five hundred dollars a day, not even counting overnight, and as he made his account he made sure to be polite while he posted pictures of the pack. 

Well trained pack of seven dogs very used to pet sitters. 

May need overnights for four consecutive days. 

Send message below. 

He waited, chewing his lip, and after thirty minutes he went to let the dogs out thinking maybe he could make an excuse to his boss that he had to miss this one. 

Not that Jack would be happy with him. 

It wasn’t his first. 

Will ate lunch and came back to the computer where he found several messages asking for astronomical prices that he deleted immediately. Then he got to the last message and as he read the sitter’s reply he smiled. 

Hello Will

I am a very experienced pet sitter who has worked in the profession for nearly ten years. I can handmake all your pack’s food - following my own or a provided recipe of your choice - and I will if need be take them to my home if I cannot stay at yours. I will need to be provided adequate ingredients ahead of schedule for their meals but will make my own. For four days I would charge one thousand dollars. 

Please tell me if you’d like to meet in person or we can talk over the phone. 

I look forward to your reply. 

Hannibal Lecter

Will answered back fast, feeling so happy he could burst, and agreed to meet Hannibal later for coffee. He went to give the dogs treats, still smiling, and got himself together putting a nice shirt and some clean jeans before he headed out for the city. 

He got there early, the shop a little pricey but not overly, and looked around waiting for Hannibal to arrive. 

And froze as a man in an Armani suit started to walk towards him. He blushed, looking the man over with way too obvious interest. 

It couldn’t be. 

The man paused in front of Will and pulled out the dog bone they’d agreed upon to show who they were. 

“Hannibal?” 

Hannibal Lecter smiled and held out his hand. 

“Hello, Will.” 

Will blushed as he took the man’s hand, and found himself almost uncomfortable with how good looking he was. He never would’ve guessed this man was a pet sitter. A doctor maybe? A model? Not a pet sitter. 

“So…I…” 

“What is it you do, Will?” 

He blinked. “What? I…I don’t know why that matters.” 

Hannibal leaned forward and smiled. “I’m merely curious. You’re not my usual clientele.” 

Will blushed. “I’m a Biology teacher.” 

“Ah,” Hannibal said, as a woman came over, “A man after my own heart. I will have a Americano, three sugars please. Will?” 

Will looked at her. “Um, a black coffee four sugars.” 

She smiled, and Will was surprised to see her unusual name. 

Mischa. 

“Coming right up,” she said, winking at Hannibal who just smiled back. 

Will frowned. “She…” 

“That is my sister,” Hannibal said with a sigh, “She’s much younger than me and likes to…observe my meetings.” 

Will smiled. “That’s…kinda cute.”

“Is it? One would think the older sibling would be the more protective. Mischa is barely out of her twenties and treats my job like every client may be a secret serial killer.” 

He laughed. “You never know.” 

Hannibal smiled. “No, I suppose you don’t,” he said, looking at Will oddly, “So…ask me anything, Mr. Graham. I’m all yours for the next several hours. What do you need to think of me as a potential pet sitter?” 

Will blushed again. “I…I just…I’m a little picky, that’s all. I’ve ran myself off of so many sites and I…” 

“You love your dogs, Will, that’s not a bad thing. What scared all of them away?” 

He sighed. “I want everything perfect, that’s all.” 

Mischa returned and put the cups down in front of them, eyeing Will the same odd way Hannibal did. “Anything else, guys?” 

“Just privacy.” 

She laughed. “Yeah, not gonna happen. I’ll be…over there.” 

Will watched her go, her blonde hair so different from Hannibal’s and, he smiled at him. 

“So…you’ll do anything I ask of you then? Anything at all?” 

“Yes. Perhaps, I can come to your home and meet the pack to see how they like me. Would that ease your worries?” 

Will frowned. “I…I guess so.” 

“Wonderful,” Hannibal said, pulling out his phone, “Give me your address and we can set this all up as soon as possible. I….I really am looking forward to meeting them and…working for you, Will.” 

Will wiggled in his seat. 

This was a bad idea. 

Very, very bad. 

But he took Hannibal’s phone and gave him his info, feeling Hannibal’s eyes on him the whole time before he handed it back. 

“I think maybe you might be my ideal dog sitter,” he said, laughing nervously, “It’s like you were made for me.” 

Hannibal smiled as he sipped his drink. 

“You seem like the ideal client,” he said, “Perhaps…we were made for each other.” 

Will blushed again. 

“Maybe.”

Simon ARBELLOT "Les hallucinés des Gobelins" Le Masque 554, LCE 1956

》》(….)Allons, allons, il n'était tout de même plus un enfant et une ou deux lampes allumées ne signifiaient pas la fin du monde. Et en mettant les choses au pire, le cambrioleur était sûrement parti. Y avait-il même un cambrioleur ? Il allait en avoir le cœur net, que diable! Et bravement, la canne à la main, il traversa le vestibule, arriva au salon et, d'un geste décidé, ouvrit la porte vitrée. Il recula, effrayé : là, au milieu de la pièce, un homme immobile était assis dans un fauteuil, le regard dur fixé sur lui. C'était un être sinistre: vêtu, coiffé, ganté de noir, le visage glabre et maigre avec deux yeux brillants de fièvre et qui s'était levé d'un bond au moment où la porte s'ouvrait, sa haute silhouette sembla vaciller et, tout d'une pièce, le corps raidi,la face en avant, sans proférer le moindre son , il tomba sur le tapis. Tout ceci se passa en moins d'une seconde, avant même que M.Barfleur ait pu ouvrir la bouche pour lui crier: "Qui êtes-vous ? Que faites-vous chez moi?" Les mots s'étaient arrêtés dans sa gorge. Il se tenait là maintenant, stupide et sans voix, devant ce long corps noir étendu sur le tapis d'Aubusson. En rentrant, au matin, dans l'appartement, les domestiques trouvèrent leur maître prostré et hagard dans un coin du salon, les yeux fixés sur le visiteur nocturne. L'émotion avait été trop forte. Deux jours après, M.Barfleur mourait de trouble nerveux, à la maison de Santé où il avait été transporté d'urgence, sans avoir pu expliquer aux enquêteurs la présence chez lui, en cette nuit de janvier, de l'Homme en Noir.》》

Brrrr. Quelle frousse dès le début….😱 Une enquête où nous retrouvons Picot, passé commissaire, et Jacques Boivin, son ami des Beaux-Arts; les enquêteurs du "Mystère du Dragon d'Or" sont à nouveau à pied d'oeuvre.

Une bien étrange affaire, en vérité, où plusieurs victimes de chantage ou d'extorsion finissent par se suicider ou décéder de curieuse façon. Toujours, un personnage différent, insaisissable, inconnu de la Justice, semble avoir été mêlé aux événements, peut-être guidé par une main invisible, hypnotisé ? Mesmerisé?😬 Les victimes, quant à elles, semblent avoir un passé qui n'a pas toujours été exempt de tous reproches. Seraient-elles les cibles d'une vengeance? Picot et Boivin prennent la piste d'une oeuvre de Charité et de Bienfaisance - "Les Amis de la Vérité " - installée aux Gobelins. Que se passe-t-il derrière la façade de cette organisation marrainée par la richissime et alcoolique Lady Graham? Etc…

Comme dans "Le Mystère du Dragon d'Or", l'action est censée se passer en 1950, mais tout fleure bon les années 1920/30 - les conceptions, les protagonistes, les descriptions… En ce qui me concerne, cela redouble plutôt l'intérêt du roman.

Cette citation de Billy Graham, célèbre prédicateur évangélique américain, est une invitation à l'humilité et à la prière comme fondements de la restauration des nations. Elle suggère que pour surmonter les défis et les crises, il est nécessaire de se tourner vers une puissance supérieure, de reconnaître sa propre faiblesse et de rechercher la guidance divine.

POUR REMETTRE LES NATIONS SUR PIEDS, NOUS DEVONS D'ABORD NOUS METTRE A CENOUX

BILLY CRAHAM

Voici quelques interprétations possibles de cette citation :

* Humilité et reconnaissance de la dépendance:

* "Se mettre à genoux" symbolise l'humilité, la reconnaissance de nos limites et notre dépendance envers Dieu.

* Cela implique de reconnaître que les solutions aux problèmes des nations ne résident pas uniquement dans les efforts humains, mais nécessitent une intervention divine.

* Importance de la prière et de la spiritualité:

* La prière est vue comme un moyen de se connecter avec Dieu, de chercher sa sagesse et sa direction.

* La restauration des nations passe par un renouveau spirituel, un retour aux valeurs morales et éthiques.

* Priorité de la dimension spirituelle:

* Avant de chercher des solutions politiques, économiques ou sociales, il est essentiel de s'occuper de la dimension spirituelle.

* Un changement intérieur, une transformation des cœurs, est nécessaire pour un changement extérieur durable.

En résumé, Billy Graham nous invite à placer la foi et l'humilité au centre de nos efforts pour construire un monde meilleur.

«A cause de cela, je fléchis les genoux devant le Père,»

‭‭Éphésiens‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬ ‭LSG‬‬
