Many rare moons have passed since my last News Update so felt it high time to post my social media and book links and have them all in one place.

Not only am I still crafting stories but I’m studying again too and have a happy balance doing both right now. I look forward to telling you more about it all soon.

Meanwhile, if you want to sneak a peak inside my mind and explore my thoughts and imagination you can find me here:

playing match-maker with professor!gojo satoru—”we can’t mind our business!” [nxt]

teaching is incredibly rewarding. nothing beats the sense of fulfillment that comes with educating the next generation—it gives you a sense of purpose and makes you feel like a contributing member of society. but recently, you've developed a guilty pleasure, an unhealthy vice. 

because, in truth, what you really find rewarding isn’t teaching. it’s the juicy gossip you share with your colleague, gojo satoru. 

it started innocently enough—quick whispers and passing speculations about students during breaks. then it escalated to frantic texts about classroom dramas. now, it’s a full-blown routine: coordinating your lunch breaks to debrief over an aptly chosen herbal tea at the café across the street.

gojo, the physics professor, is an instigator by nature. unfairly brilliant and chronically bored, he’s always looking for ways to entertain himself. you, an english professor with a manageable workload, were the perfect partner in crime. together, you’ve meddled in your students’ lives, and your escapades have become something of a shared hobby.

his preferred method of meddling is match-making, and to your credit you guys have had one successful match:

juniors, kasumi miwa and kokichi muta.

sweet, hardworking miwa was one of your favorite students, always putting extra effort into your creative writing assignments. muta, (aptly nick-named mechamaru) is a genius with mechanics and the president of the robotics club. gojo taught him quantum physics and claimed he was one of the sharpest students he’d ever met.

it started with a haiku.

you’d assigned miwa’s class a poetry assignment, and her submission, though simplistic, immediately caught your attention:

I may not love science, I can’t bring machines to life, yet I yearn for you.

if that wasn’t enough, there were faintly erased doodles of robots holding hands in the margins of her submitted assignments. around the same time, gojo noticed muta sitting strategically in his class so he could be visible through the window into yours. he angled his notes just enough to display his complex equations—clearly trying to impress miwa.

the moment you pieced it together, you texted gojo:

dr. gojo satoru: no way, her haiku is basically screaming I love him

you: lmao I asked her about the inspiration, and she said, “just a friend”

dr. gojo satoru: she’s gonna move on if we don’t act now!

you: what if we double-book office hours for them? “accidentally,” of course

dr. gojo satoru: omg brilliant, drafting the email rn XD

the plan worked. you and gojo “accidentally” scheduled them for office hours at the same time, then conveniently left them alone. miwa, stumped by an intentionally tricky writing assignment, was soon receiving help from muta. numbers were exchanged, tutoring sessions turned into hangouts, and four months later, they were officially dating.

now, every month, gojo extorts a cream puff from muta as a “thank you” for the setup from the pricey bakery downtown. you pretend to disapprove but always end up splitting the treat.

which brings you to your current predicament. you and gojo are locked in a heated debate about which first-year students to set up next. gojo insists itadori yuji and kugisaki nobara are the ideal pair, but you’re convinced yuji and fushiguro megumi are better suited. gojo’s conviction runs so deep he swears it’s ingrained in on an atomic level.

so to raise the stakes, gojo has wagered his louis vuitton messenger bag (est. value: $3k), while you’ve offered up your earnings from the third installment of your self-published ya novel (est. value: $4k). and yes, the fact that those numbers are so close in value is embarrassing.

desperate to prove each other wrong, you agree to consult your colleagues.

gojo’s first choice? philosophy professor getou suguru.

dr. gojo satoru added you and prof. getou suguru to a group chat

dr. gojo satoru named the group chat cupids <3

dr. gojo satoru: getouuuu dr. gojo satoru: getougetougetougetougetou

prof. getou suguru: this is highly unethical.

prof. getou suguru left the chat.

though getou pretends to be above your antics, he shows up to join you in gojo’s office later, coffee in hand and smirking. he brushes a finger across the desk and frowns at the dust.

“if I were willing to entertain your ridiculous game—which I’m not—I’d say megumi and yuji are the better match,” he declares, smugly.

he strolls to the whiteboard, sliding his glasses down from his forehead to settle over his eyes, his black bangs falling neatly into place, and begins sketching a diagram:

utilitarianism: will the act ultimately result in the best overall results—maximizing utility?

• megumi x yuji: opposing personalities balance each other out, ultimately improving their weaknesses. ↳ e.g. megumi silences yuji when he talks over the lecture, while yuji incites megumi to participate more during group projects, increasing his participation.

• nobara x yuji: similar personalities embolden bad habits, ultimately leading to chaos. ↳ e.g. nobara and yuji are rarely late individually, but when they hang out, they end up coming to class late, usually carrying coffee, and snacks.

getou pops the cap back on and crosses his arms, “I rest my case.”

you cheer while gojo groans, insisting getou’s biased.

determined to recruit an ally, gojo drags you to statistics professor nanami kento, the epitome of calm professionalism. confident in his plan, gojo smirks and declares, “once nanami agrees with me, the resident genius, your theory will come to a grinding halt—no momentum, no inertia, just friction stopping you in your tracks.”

nanami’s sitting at his desk engrossed in grading assignments when you all appear in the doorframe. his brown oxfords shined, speckled tie flung loose over his shoulder.

when he notices your presence, he pointedly checks his watch before stating, “you’ve got ten minutes, for,” he gestures, “whatever this is, I leave at six.”

you explain the predicament and nanami rolls his eyes, rubbing at his temples like he’d just got a headache. “sounds like simple probability, for example,” he rises to pick up a piece of chalk from his blackboard:

p (a) = # of favorable outcomes / # of possible outcomes

p (a) represents the probability of event “a”, megumi and yuji coupling up

he draws a number here, a letter there—the equation is getting increasingly hard to follow, even gojo looks dumbfounded. 

“two, carry the one. and you get…” he starts completing the result:

p (a) = f(u)<k 0ff

he deadpans, the mirth visible in his eyes, “you guys really thought I’d help you with your childish endeavor, has anyone ever told you to simply just mind your own.”

you huff out offended, “we can’t mind our business! come on, don’t be like that. aren’t you close with yuji, being his advisor and all, you should want the best for him!”

nanami sighs, glancing down again at his watch. five more minutes. he approaches you and flips open his phone, scrolling for a couple seconds. 

“here look,” he tilts the screen showing a text thread with yuji:

itadori yuji (freshman): sensei can I ask you something?

nanami k.: what can I do for you itadori? 

itadori yuji (freshman): you know how I’m undeclared? well, I love spending time with friends. is it okay for their interests to influence my major?

nanami k.: while the choice should ultimately be your decision itadori, it is only natural that your environment and experiences influence the line of thinking that leads to that decision. which of your peers have you found most influential? 

itadori yuji (freshman): I don’t wanna say because I don’t think they realize how much I look up to, and respect them. I’m scared I’ll psyche them out. but they’re terrific: driven, independent, and forthright.

nanami k.: well if those traits are any indicator they seem like a strong, positive influence to your academics.

you finish reading and you all share a look. you start, “okay so, I think I’m confident that with yuji’s messages in mind, we all think, no, are certain, that yuji’s ideal match is…”

“megumi!”

“nobara.”

“megumi!”

“nobara!”

and so, you once again, begin considering who might be the next best person to consult for an additional perspective.

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊ back in their dorms, megumi, yuji, and nobara can’t stop sneezing, the sheer weight of being so heavily discussed tickling their senses.

For the Christmas fic, how about bau!reader never celebrated Christmas properly cause she had like bad parents so Spencer decides to change that with the help of the team

RESTORATION — SPENCER REID!

you’re not a big fan of christmas. spencer enlists the help of the team to try and restore your festive spirit.

spencer reid x gn!reader | 1.5k | fluff | masterlist.

a/n — watch someone who doesn’t like Christmas, write about a group of people who do like christmas :)

You’re not sure how it happened, but suddenly, Christmas is everywhere.

Twinkling lights hang from every corner of the bullpen. Garlands wrap themselves around the stair railings like ivy. A Christmas tree towers near the kitchenette, its branches heavy with ornaments you suspect Morgan and Garcia argued over before agreeing on a theme. The air smells faintly of pine, cinnamon, and coffee, a warm combination that feels almost too comforting. Too safe.

You try not to let it bother you.

You never understood the hype around Christmas. Every year, you watched the world transform into a wonderland of twinkling lights and festivity, but for you, it was just another day. Another reminder of what you never had.

While other kids were unwrapping presents under the tree, you sat in your cold, quiet room, the sounds of your parents’ arguments drowning out the holiday cheer. Christmas wasn’t a celebration in your house—it was a chore, a duty, something to get through without breaking.

Even now, as an adult, you treat the holiday like it’s just another box to check. The gifts you give are practical and impersonal, and the ones you receive feel more like obligations than thoughtful gestures. You avoid the parties, the caroling, the incessant cheer. It’s easier that way.

At least, it was.

The BAU changed everything.

You weren’t prepared for how much they’d come to mean to you. They weren’t just colleagues; they were family in a way you’d never truly known. And Spencer… Spencer Reid is something else entirely. You can’t pinpoint the exact moment your feelings for him shifted, but now they’re impossible to ignore. Every shy smile, every ramble about quantum physics, every thoughtful gesture—it all leaves you wondering how you got so lucky to have someone like him in your corner.

Still, when he asks you about your Christmas plans during lunch one day, your walls go up.

“Oh, you know,” you say casually, taking a sip of your coffee. “Probably just a quiet night at home.”

Spencer frowns, his brow furrowing in that endearing way that tells you he’s already analysing your words. “You’re not a Christmas person?”

You shrug, trying to seem indifferent. “Not really. Christmas wasn’t… something my parents did growing up,”

That’s the understatement of the century, but you don’t elaborate. Spencer’s gaze lingers on you, and you can practically see the wheels turning in his head.

“Well,” he says slowly, “maybe it’s something we can work on,”

You wave him off with a chuckle, but the idea takes root in his mind anyway.

—

A week later, you’re finishing up paperwork when Spencer approaches your desk, his face lit up with excitement.

“Are you free on Christmas Eve?” he asks, his voice tinged with nervousness.

You blink, caught off guard. “I guess so? Why?”

He grins, his hands fidgeting with the strap of his messenger bag. “It’s a surprise. Just… trust me?”

You don’t have the heart to say no.

—

When Christmas Eve arrives, you find yourself in front of Spencer’s apartment, a mix of curiosity and apprehension swirling in your chest. You’re not sure what to expect, but the last thing you anticipate is the sight that greets you when he opens the door.

“Surprise!”

The entire team is there, the living room transformed into a Christmas wonderland. There’s a fake tree in the corner, its branches laden with ornaments and lights. Garland and tinsel drape over every surface, and the scent of cinnamon and pine fills the air.

Hotch is standing by the fireplace, looking uncharacteristically relaxed with a drink in hand, JJ and Will are helping Henry hang a candy cane on the tree, Garcia flits around in a sequinned Santa hat, arranging plates of cookies and snacks, and even Rossi is there, holding a glass of wine and smirking like he knows exactly how overwhelmed you’re feeling.

And then there’s Spencer, standing in front of you with that nervous, hopeful look that makes your heart ache.

“You did this?” you ask, your voice barely above a whisper.

He nods, his hands shoved deep into his pockets. “We did. You’ve never had a proper Christmas, and we thought it was time to change that.”

You look around, your chest tightening as the weight of their thoughtfulness sinks in. For a moment, you can’t speak.

“You guys didn’t have to do all this,” you finally manage, though your voice trembles.

“We wanted to,” JJ says, stepping over to hug you. “You’re family, and family deserves to be celebrated.”

The word family hits you like a freight train.

—

The night unfolds like something out of a movie.

You start with decorating gingerbread houses, a task that quickly descends into chaos when Garcia insists on bedazzling her roof with edible glitter. Morgan competes with Henry to see who can build the tallest chimney, while Rossi critiques everyone’s technique like it’s a cooking competition.

Spencer sticks close to you, guiding you through the process with his usual patience and a surprising knack for icing details. At one point, he accidentally smudges frosting on his nose, and the way he blushes when you laugh makes your stomach flutter.

Next comes dinner, a feast that Rossi and JJ clearly poured their hearts into. You sit between Spencer and Garcia, listening to Rossi’s stories and laughing until your cheeks hurt. Every now and then, you catch Spencer sneaking glances at you, his expression soft and fond in a way that makes you feel seen in a way you’re not used to.

Afterward, Garcia insists on a gift exchange. You’re hesitant at first, but when you open your gift from her—a beautifully wrapped box of handmade bookmarks featuring your favorite literary quotes—you can’t help but smile.

“How did you…?”

“I have my ways,” she says with a wink.

You’re equally stunned when Spencer hands you a small, carefully wrapped package. Inside is an antique copy of *Pride and Prejudice*, its leather cover worn but lovingly preserved.

“Spencer,” you whisper, running your fingers over the embossed title. “This is… it’s perfect.”

He shrugs, looking almost shy. “I remember you mentioned it was your favorite. I thought it deserved a spot in your collection.”

Your throat tightens, and for a moment, you’re sure you’re going to cry.

—

The night ends with everyone gathered around the fireplace, mugs of hot cocoa in hand as Jack preforms his reading of The Night Before Christmas.

You sit beside Spencer on the couch, his arm brushing against yours as he leans in to whisper little facts about the poem’s history. Normally, you’d roll your eyes at his need to share trivia, but tonight, it feels comforting. Familiar.

When the others start to leave, bidding you Merry Christmas with hugs and warm smiles, you linger by the door, hesitant to let the night end.

“You okay?” Spencer asks, his voice soft.

You nod, but the lump in your throat betrays you. “I just… I don’t know how to thank you for this. All of you.”

“You don’t have to thank us,” he says, his gaze steady. “You deserve it.”

The words are simple, but they cut through you in a way you don’t expect. Before you can second-guess yourself, you step forward and wrap your arms around him.

He freezes for a moment, clearly surprised, but then he relaxes, his arms coming up to hold you in return.

His cheek smushes lovingly against the top of your head, and it’s only once he catches the glimpse of white and green above the doorway that he pulls away.

Mistletoe. How cliché.

Spencer lets out a breath of a laugh as you follow his gaze with curious eyes, cheeks warming at the fluster on your face.

“Garcia must’ve put that there…”

You press your lips together between your teeth, a wave of heat rising to the tips of your ears as you glance back in Spencer’s direction.

But you’re not nervous. It’s almost domestic, the soft crackle of the dying fire across the room, the way Spencer’s arms linger innocently at your waist.

You cup Spencer’s cheek to bring it to your face, lips pressing deftly against the corner of his mouth.

“Merry Christmas, Spencer,” you whisper like you’ve run out of oxygen.

He smiles with his whole face, his voice warm and full of meaning. “Merry Christmas,”

TLT theory: Aim, Jod, and the second part of the message

My brain is fevered. I feel like I've constructed an elaborate Pepe Silvia corkboard in my mind, and it feels like it makes sense of everything, but I honestly have no clue if that certainty will last very long.

I think I know what the Messenger is carrying. I think I know why John has waited ten thousand years.

Spooky preview quote from HtN chapter 2:

I mastered Death, Harrowhark; I wish I’d done the smarter thing and mastered Time.

Spoilers for Gideon, Harrow, and Nona the Ninth.

BoE's chronology has always been kind of weird to me: Five thousand years after the Resurrection happens, they pop up with intense and detailed knowledge of the 21st century! Jod destroys languages and cultures and societies, but BoE keeps popping up! How.

Originally I thought the continuous thread over the years was a Lyctor who helped them (and the necromantic implant does seem to point that way) but I also think part of it is that the ships that escaped just before Earth's devastation have been showing up one by one, over a huge span of time. That's why Wake says "My long-dead natal sun" and can quote Eminem at length; she spent ten thousand years suspended in time, before re-entering it.

NtN, John 19:18:

They said they’d managed to find some poor dipshit geek who’d fixed the FTL problem of getting locked in the chrono well, you know, moving so fast you were stuck doing quantum wheelies. They’d come up with something where you could oscillate out so long as the ship was attuned to a prearranged spectrum outside. I still don’t understand the maths. It’s going to take me ten thousand years to understand it. I couldn’t follow, but A— could. He said immediately, What is the point if you still have no fucking clue where your ship is going to end up when you shake out of FTL. They said, Aha, but we can track it once it’s out. A— said, It could be halfway across the universe or phasing through a planet. They kept arguing that probably wouldn’t happen [...] They said it was expensive, so twelve ships would go first, with one guiding them out with the beacon frequencies like a tugboat leading a cruise liner, triangulate for Tau Ceti, dump the population, and come back.

I think that AIM's message is the beacon that will call the last of the FTL fleet out of the chrono well. They are "we", they are the first of two parts, because their identity is the person they were before coming the Messenger, and the ships that still haven't oscillated back into three-dimensional space yet, because they are under AIM's personal guardianship/intimately tied to possession of her body.

NtN, John 5:4

I think the only reason I haven’t done it already is that I can’t bear the idea that I wouldn’t be able to touch them—that they’d still be out there …

I think Jod has been at this for so long because he is waiting for an event that could literally take an infinite amount of time to occur. He hasn't killed the entire colonized population yet because he wants something out of them, and it doesn't seem to be labour or devotion or even thanergy.

I think he's looking for the fleet's beacon, in a way that's like lighting a grassfire to flush animals out of hiding and deprive them of shelter. I think he's constantly killing planets and relocating and resettling populations before funnelling them together again, like a distillery trying to heat and separate different liquids as they move from flask to flask, because he wants to finally decant the key to the last ships that escaped him.

General Message!

"Chauffeur" is what I heard, but it's bot you being the chauffeur, it's you being chauffeured around. Sacral energy/chakra is very significant. Many of you may be working or healing on your sacral chakra OR you're becoming more confident in yourself and your beauty and not only that, you're in your power! Embrace this energy and embrace this change(s). Carrots, oranges, tomatoes are your confirmation. You could be wearing a lot more orange or red lately but mostly orange or you're needing to. You're embracing all of your flaws and challenges with so much confidence. When it comes to "danger" you laugh in its face... The Lion King may be significant as well too. Lions are significant especially the lioness, some of you may even work with Goddesses who are associated with fierceness, fire, creativity, abundance, fertility and beauty.

The challenges you had to endure, you didn't let them slow you down nor stop you however, you're also not afraid to hide the scares of your past on your sleeve. You could be a person that considers themselves as an "open book", you're not afraid to share your story... but for others you're being called to do this. This may help you to heal or shed light or even bring awareness to those around you whether they're a friend/family member or a complete stranger. You're in the season of harvest and abundance. I feel like Autumn, Winter and Spring are going to be very crucial to you in some way... I'm getting like a "pivotal moment" of your life. If you didn't have enough or anything to share, you will soon. I'm seeing happiness and celebration here, I'm also hearing "everything is connecting".

You are or will be celebrated and acknowledged for your hard work, I'm also seeing someone receiving good news so the number 3 may be significant to you. There's heavy energy about you sharing or being a messenger of some kind. This may be what I stated before, you speaking on your past experience and all of the challenges and obstacles you had to endure. Your story will be heard and that's the reassurance that you're guides are giving you because maybe, you never been heard before or felt this way but now the story and tables are changing. Think of it as an alternate Universe, the other Universe you were from was negative and in lack but this timeline or Universe, everything will be positive and abundant. Quantum leaping/ jumping timelines could be very significant for you too. 1010,99,101010, 999 are your numbers of confirmation.

You have found the hidden gem within you, the light, the torch and now it's time to show the world... let the world see. "My Umi said shine your light on the world, shine your light so the World can see" My Umi by Mos def is significant. I was also getting the vibe of Sekhmet and Hekate too! I hope this helps!

**Please keep in mind that these messages are for the collective so these messages may or may not resonate with you or your situation, If you would like a personal reading, my prices, cash app, and Paypal are all posted and pinned on my profile. BEFORE SENDING IN ANY PAYMENT PLEASE BE SURE TO DM ME FIRST! I am also offering $5 readings (mini reads) for those who are interested! Thank You!**

[gallifreyinstituteforlearning]

Do Gallifreyans and Time Lords have any active religion(s)? How much do we know about their old and new religions overall?

How does religion work on Gallifrey?

Ooo, fun! Here's a brief whistlestop tour of it because, unlike most things, a lot is known already and I could write an essay.

🌌 The Creation of the Universe

Gallifreyan legends tell of the Universe's birth from a sentient singularity called 'Eru' or the 'Great Old One Azathoth'. The Mother Goddess used the Aurora Temporalis to create Time itself, and in turn, seconds were created by the Temporal Phoenix (who was apparently imprisoned in a time loop by people known as the Philesians).

📜 Old Times

Shobogans were the original indigenous people of Gallifrey, and some say they were immortal until Death's Messenger came to Mount Perdition. (Rather, an ancient species of religious zealots named the Kotturuh brought the concept of mortality as a 'gift' to the universe, limiting the lifespans of other species.)

Shobogans worshipped a pantheon of gods known as the Menti Celesti ('heavenly minds') and made offerings to them in alcoved shrines in their homes, particularly if they'd had good fortune. The primary gods included Pain, Death, Time, and Fate (Osuda). There's also the mystic virgin moon goddess Pazithi, for whom one of Gallifrey's moons is named. The Devil was the Dark God Valdemar.

The Shobogans also believed in reincarnation and said that after death, souls ended up in a mysterious sea, where you can hear them whispering - which is probably their concept of Hell.

😇 The Order of the Pythia

The Order of the Pythia was the central religious institution during these times. The Pythia, chosen by the Menti Celesti, was the supreme spiritual leader, ruling over the Shobogans. This role included responsibilities like being the Mouthpiece of the Gods and the Guardian of the Great Book of Future Legends. The Pythia and her Sisterhood performed sacrifices and rituals to gain favour from the Menti Celesti and foresee the future.

🔮 The Decline and Transformation of Religion

During the Time of Chaos when Rassilon stuck his finger in, the influence of the Pythia flopped big, leading to the collapse of the order. The surviving Sisterhood relocated to the planet Karn, becoming the Sisterhood of the Flame under High Priestess Maren. It was also at this time the ousted Pythia condemned Gallifrey to be barren - this is known as the Curse of the Pythia, which I'm sure you'll already know about.

🚀 Beliefs and Rationalism in the Era of Rassilon

In the era of Rassilon, a lot of Gallifreyans moved towards a more scientific and rational understanding of the universe. The discovery of the ratio 1 to 812, crucial to quantum string theory, reinforced beliefs in a creator but distanced them from traditional worship.

⛪ The Black Council

Somewhere between Rassilon and the 1st Doctor, Gallifreyan religion included the Black Council of Cardinals, Time Priests, and other religious figures, led by the Supreme Pontiff of Time. However, significant reforms thousands of years before the Doctor's time restricted the religious class's power, eliminating their access to Time Travel and genetic benefits. By the time of the Doctor's exile, the position of Supreme Pontiff was abolished, and the monasteries dissolved.

⏲️ Modern Era

Despite all these shifts, about 25% of Gallifreyans in the modern era still worship the Menti Celesti, with private prayers to Time and her sisters. Modern Gallifreyans don't really understand or give merit to the concepts of good and evil, and sins are virtually nonexistent. Allegedly.

The white background, although limited by the frame of the picture, extends beyond the screen, spreading throughout the entire Universe, it represents the infinite love that is the Creator of All.

The grey fade represents the little tiny bit of darkness that is in the entire universe, including all dimensions.

The color blue represents the throat chakra, communication, expression, connection.

The thin black outer edge of the blue triangle symbolizes the free will we all have to deny the light that is our essence.

The blue triangle can be seen as a symbol for messengers of divine universal truth and the eternal love that we are always receiving from Source, which we can attune ourselves to, which we can absorb and marinate in so that we can embody God more fully as a living being.

Watch this emblem or visualize it with closed eyes to connect more strongly to the divine that dwells within. It is one of myriad permissionslips to grow in awareness of who you are as an expanded, loved, and cared for being of profound power and importance.

You are important, you do have a purpose, a mission, thank you for being a unique aspect of the One, an invaluable expression through which God and many other beings experience life.

Who is looking through your eyes is not just you alone, it is all the beings in your DNA, both physical (the smallest part of who we are) and quantum (the vast majority of who we are), all of who you are, were and shall be is you.

Embrace this idea with the arms of infinity, and remember that you are ALL THAT IS.

It's too big

Part 1 2 3

"How's the Captain holding up?" the overqualified Haespar Kraus asked Trisha, who was just leaving Knoslark's quarters, with a very fine braid he noted.

"Awful, he didn't ask a single thing about sea turtles. It's like I was talkin' to a brick wall, that can knit. I mean I was literally starin' at a wall, but it's like there was nothin' behind me either."

"Well this won't cheer you up then. We need to go on another expedition."

"Already? No way is Ying up and about already, and this" she points an irritated finger at the sign on Knoslark's door, "stupid thing is technically an order from our superior to not do a damn thing."

"Quite. Another technicality is that we will not be leaving the ship for this journey. Remember how the warp jump fried all our quantum gear, as well as numerous sub-systems and left us with one running reactor? That list also includes the internal ship-wide scanners and most monitoring sensors. And the drone controls."

"No way. She can't be serious." Trisha's face began to pale at the realization of what they were about to embark on.

"I'm afraid so."

"TAMEKI!! DO YOU KNOW HOW BIG THIS STUPID SHIP IS! WE'LL BE GOING THROUGH IT FOR WEEKS!"

"Closer to three months. I did the math." Haespar said with a glint of smugness. He loved being right with numbers to back him up. Though it quickly faded as he was also part of this tour of the Radiant Dusk, "At least the turbo-lifts work, so at most we will be a seven hour crawl from everyone else at the furthest nook we have to inspect."

"Woooow, you really know how to cheer a girl up, y'know."

"Even better news then - we can't lift off into space on one reactor in this gravity, AND we don't know if there are any radiation or coolant leaks. Suits on at all times."

"Greeeeat! Now tell me the local aliens are building a giant box around our ship. That way I can be triple packaged."

"Well, they are pelting the ship and trying to get in, but unless they are keeping advanced metallurgy a secret, they won't succeed."

Trisha just rubs her hands over her face before slapping her cheeks: "Right. Okay. Fine. Imma take a nice long bath first. And eat a cake while I talk to Emily about the underground catacombs of Paris. You're NOT invited."

[chuckle] "Hey, I'm just the messenger."

"Well I hate messages, so nyee."

_______________________________

Human ships are big. Seemingly pointlessly so, but there is a reason for everything. Sure, it's not the best reasons, but they're legit.

You need big engines to carry a lot of stuff into space.

You need big power generators to have enough thrust.

You need bigger cargo holds since the generators are taking up too much space.

You need a stronger, thicker hull to keep it all together.

You need more powerful engines now to move all that extra mass.

You need additional lift chutes and corridors to connect all the parts of the ship

You need an army of drones to maintain all of everything.

You need a bigger cargo hold since everything else is taking up the previously allotted space now.

You need...

And it just goes on until somebody finally decides that a 10 kilometer long ship that can transform into a circle is enough engineering for one day. Then you hand it over to a crew of 27 and let them do whatever, you installed a few thousand redundancies and safety features (adding a few hundred thousand meters of wiring, piping and code and a million tons of matter and bumping everything else up a size category in the process, but who's counting) what could go wrong?

Nothing! You're an engineer who thought of everything, not an architect who draws ugly shapes.

So yeah, you try exploring every street and building and attic in your city. Then do it five more times because in space you can just build in every direction. Oh and take notes and pictures of everything, because if you don't, you might miss a loose cable.

And if you happen to be neglectful and try to turn on your star creating power reactors, you might end up with a permanent tan.

deborahmpratt It has taken me a few days to process the loss of a second child. For those who know: Once you “Quantum Leap” you will always belong to the love and understanding of “putting right what once went wrong.” Quantum Leap was designed to be about understanding , courage, and love. It has always brought together incredibly wonderful and deeply talented people. The reboot of this classic series has done it a second time. We gathered a new creative family and brought the power of story telling with purpose, woven in a tapestry of heart, history, humor, and hope. We told stories that didn’t need guns, anti-heroes, or hate, and instead we used love to understand the humanity (the fifth H) that lives in each and of us. Thank you to every one of this global Quantum Clan for being part of my and Don’s vision. It was expanded by Bryant and Steven, Martin, dean and all the writers, actors, guest stars, staff and crew who gave their magic and talent to make the world a little better. Albert Einstein said, “Science and Art are the only true messengers of peace.” To those who wish Sam and Ben, and now Caitlin would leap into you life and “make right what once went wrong,” keep believing. Quantum Leap 3.0 is out there hoping to find a home for us all.

Silm reread 9: Meanwhile in Beleriand

I need to slow down the queue, I do less posts now. (Yes, I do queue for longer ones; usually post immediately the shorter / low-effort ones)

All the Elves in Beleriand consider Thingol their king. But Melian is not a ruling Queen. Thingol rules, Melian advises the Elves. Makes sense with her being a Maia.

Luthien is born late in first (Valian) century of Melkor's imprisonment, this is also said to be the peak of Valinor's happiness. I would assume Feanor is born short after this, but it's just a guess.

Later: Dwarvrs. Unclear when did they wake up, but they seem pretty new here, so maybe they awake not long after Melkor was imprisoned?

Khuzdul is hard for the Sinda, Sindarin is easy fro the Dwarves. Later it's the same with Quenya. Either:

Sindarin is very easy

Sindar are bad with languages

both Dwarves and the Noldor are great at languages (which makes sense because they are close to Aule and I think it helps)

Elves and Dwarves live in peace, they're friends with Thingol, all is nice. Melian has a foreshadowing foresight that it will stop being nice soon. The Dwarves (very happily and paid more than they asked for) make Menegroth for Thingol. It is entered via a bridge (no Orodreth do not copy this) and is cool.

The Dwarves hate the sea (probably something left from earlier Legendarium when Dwarves were evil). Gimli must have been very brave.

The Dwarves tell thingol that the Valar hadn't fully removed the evil on the North. How do they know this? Also, it reminds me about how the Valar were supposed to do this actually and did not.

Also, if anyone can help me with this (I may later make a separate posr): they mention "two monsters appearing again in the land east of the mountains". It's about Ered Luin. But what are the two beasts??? Not Ungoliant, as she is elsewhere. Maybe Sauron? I'm not sure if he spent all the time in Angband. But with whom? Thuringwedhil? Is she this old?

Or maybe it's just an error in translation. "Two" and "wild" aren't that different words and it would make sense to be wild beasts…

Also, orcs appear.

Thingol makes weapons and chain armor. Also, Denethor (the original one) is a thing.

Daeron was a scholar?!? The most famous scholar in Doriath. And he made the runes.

Ungoliant goes to Doriath, is blocked by Melian, lives in caves and messes up the whole part of map. Still, not clear who ever saw her if anyone.

A sentence about orcs breeding in deep earth, so again, the origin of orcs and quantum canon. they besiege Cirdan. Melian makes the Girdle.

After the Darkening Melian gets no news from Valinor via messengers, dreams nor spirits. Which nicely gives us the list of how she used to get news before, I think.

Figli della Luce: i Semi Stellari sono tornati Non sono bambini comuni. Sono semi stellari— Messaggeri dell'Infinito, Nati con le galassie negli occhi E antichi canti nelle loro ossa. Ognuno porta una frequenza che ammorbidisce la densità, Una luce che ricorda mondi prima delle parole, Prima della separazione, Prima di dimenticare. Questi bambini non hanno bisogno di essere curati. Hanno bisogno di spazio per ricordare— Per dipingere a spirale, Per parlare in codice, Danzare con il vento e sussurrare alle stelle… Quantum Portal art by Theta Cursed ************************* Children of the Light: The Starseeds are back They are no ordinary children. They are starseeds— Messengers of the Infinite, Born with galaxies in their eyes And ancient songs in their bones. Each carries a frequency that softens the density, A light that remembers worlds before words, Before separation, Before forgetting. These children do not need to be healed. They need space to remember— To paint in spirals, To speak in code, To dance with the wind and whisper to the stars… Quantum Portal art by Theta Cursed

elohim serpentus

in ancient times we knew to ask the dragons for wisdom

as those times aged we were glorified in the killing of them

there was a seafaring tribe known to keep their belongings on water

known as 'The Judges' and rumored for sabotage

the lost tribe of Dan represented themselves with a serpent

and don't we all know a dragon without legs is the same

the garden of Eden allows only self-control in treachery

to be a lover you must sacrifice your intellect's protection

the caduceus of Hermes and Iris reveals two entwined

winged serpents of their twin heralding staffs

a symbol of divine messengers and healing

the children of gods always find themselves

struggling in the mortal realm and mortal rules

the spirit is eternal but the heart only has a few beats

if you fail the scales and the feather Ammut devours it

and your soul is cast into the darkness

it is not the mind who loves but the devouring heart

the mind can only help or hinder the choice it makes

in some ways love is a power beyond our control

in some ways love is a choice we have to make each day

they say that symbols are the shortcut to wisdom

but lately I find myself lost in them

I tried to put my contacts in and my eyes of Ra

suddenly felt like someone poured sand in them

I had to take them out so I'll spend the day

squinting and blurry because I failed to buy

glasses and it's past the date of my prescription

what does the world mean for me today?

how do I trust that life unfolds for me and not against me?

I take all these small steps toward liberation

and yet feel that I'm sinking in the quicksand

I fear but I've never seen in reality

does drowning in sand feel the same as drowning in water?

I need to sing in the shower to feel like

I'm in the clouds where everything makes sense

I spent my life trying to ground myself in earth

but always found my unity in the sky

I look up and pretend the sky falls into my eyes

giving me the same sort of clarity I get from breathing

deep and slow even though I forget to breathe normally

one day this peaceful chaos will make sense to me

someday all of it will make sense to me

today I say a prayer I borrowed from some other religion

hold my heart with the palm of my own hand

and begin again knowing I'll do the same tomorrow

I think of you and say the prayer with your name too

this quantum engagement and mirroring of souls

I hope you find peace and joy that forces your smile

and I hope you think of me too
