girl I’m obsessed with Catherine of Siena
dude, that’s cool as fuck. i think this is just a weird residual effect of growing up religious, but i really like patron saints a lot. I just think it’s kinda neat when u actually look into these holy figures and u kinda realize a lot them were doing some outlandish shit. but for obvious reasons, catherine of siena specifically is special to me. I just think it’s funny that she was just straight up cut and dry an/orexic and buli/mic and catholics were like yeah. Seems normal to me. definitely one of god’s most neurotic soldiers.

"Ah, Kuznetsov! You're back so soon, do you need more information on your target?" Arthur, an older, surprisingly cheery man, sits behind his desk, beaming at Arlo.
Arlo, a relatively short person with blonde roots and soft brown eyes, practically covered in scratches and scars, some fresh, shakes their head at the question, placing a ziplock bag containing an ornate gold ring and a few bloodied sheets of folded A4 paper on the desk. "Job's done. Want my money, please."
Arthur looks shocked, though not upset. "Uh- Of course, of course! Why don't you take a seat while I sort the payment?"
Arlo sits down across from the man, eyes remaining on the bag. "Something wrong?"
"No no, nothing's wrong, per sé... It's just that– Well, my sources said that this job would take at least a month and you've managed to finish it within a few days. It's just surprising, that's all.."
They know how long the job was supposed to take, but they don't have that kind of pool patience — they've been doing this since they were a child. The job was to get information then kill the guy, too simple and less fun than they would've liked. "Oh."
Arthur reaches into his desk and hands Arlo a sealed envelope. It feels heavier than it should. "I suppose rewards and celebrations are in order, aren't they? We've been tracking this for months and you've just given us everything we need. Thank you."
"'S my job, Uncle."

He’s pretty cool. Welcomed women into his Order (st Clare, who founded Order of Poor Ladies herself) and spoke of all of creation being brothers and sisters, as well as considering Nature itself a mirror of God, and even created a Canticle to the Sun!
..He was also given and assumed feminine attributes at times, like asking to be called ‘Lady Poverty’ and being referred to as ‘Mother’, as well as potentially having a ‘homoaffectional’ relationship with a Brother Elias of Cortona.
Further, he attempted to bridge the gap between Christianity and Islam during the 5th Crusade- whilst in Egypt, he was captured and taken to the current Sultan, Malek al-Kabul (also known as Meledin), where they ended up discussing Spirituality for about three weeks.
A result of this was Franciscans being welcomed into the Islamic-controlled Holy Land and thanks to that, them being considered ‘Custodians of the Holy Land’ by the Catholic Church.
He’s also the Patron Saint of Ecology!
So. Overall a very inspirational egg.

Ok I'm not Catholic, but, i spent ages looking for this statue of my fave St Francis - preaching to the birds... saving worms from getting squished... patron of ecology and animals... accused of heresy at one point and would've been killed if his order hadn't already been approved by the Pope... Read the First Life of St Francis by Thomas of Celano, he knew the guy and makes him out to be a bit of a weirdo but in the best way
I think he's holding a bird in this statue? And honestly although the trees are overgrown, it really only adds to the scene

💌Someone wants to reach out!
Trigger warning : this reading mentions the passing of beings and other sensitive subjects. It is way heavier than I intended and I want to make sure that you know what you get yourself into. If you are underage, refrain from reading this post. If you know that you are sensitive to such subjects, refrain from reading as well, as a security measure.
As this is going to be a very detailed reading, I only put two options to choose from. To help you identify if you picked the right group, I will use some letters to try to get keywords as confirmation signs. In this reading, we are first going to try to identify who is trying to reach out to you. Then, we will find out what they wish to say to you. At the end of your reading, you will get a short advice from your guides. For this PAC I will be using letters, the White Numen tarot and the Threads of fate oracle, as well as some self made tissue box messages.

Group 1
Note from reader : As I was doing the last adjustments of your reading, I looked up at the sky through my window and looked at the clouds. That might be something the person we're talking about used to do a lot. In the shape of the clouds I saw many N and a few A. Those might be significant initials.
Letters : M F T I U A S N E M R S C V U Keywords : Mass, rain, Insta, star, rats, Cain, museum, amuse, Muse, cinema, mics, revue (French for magazine), fame, Reita, Sumire, saint, Cirus, Marcus, Mars, trains, Venus, arts, man, versus, Mantis, fumer (French for smoking), fast, cars, music, rants, Francis, frantic, France, matsuri (Japanese for festival), mister fun, musc, sister, fan, Ventura, Messi, faint, vain, veins, Traum (German for dream), stairs, Uranus, Saturn, Vermin, races, fire, Aries, Uranium, Taurus
Who is trying to reach out?
Creative soul | Unusual talent | Singer | Heterochromia | Earth angel | 5th house personal creativity I SERVE | 2 of pentacles, 7 of cups, page of swords, The Void, The Weaver, The Revolutionary
Okay I know this is going to sound crazy but I picked up on Moonbin. I can't explain why as I didn't know him very well. But I thought of him as soon as I wrote that channeled message you are gonna read in the next section. Aside from that, I can definitely tell that whoever is trying to reach out to you has passed on. This person was full of life and ideas, there were many things they wanted to say and do but they didn't get the chance to give life to all their dreams. They were young. Very young. This person wanted to fight the darkness and be a ray of hope in a world of doom. They had great ambitions and though they were battling their own demons, they truly believed in good and wanted to be good. They believed that they could weave their destiny as they wanted and that they could change the world if they tried real hard. They wanted to leave a positive impact around them. Heal the world. I'm also picking up on Michael Jackson energy. Maybe you or this person was a Michael Jackson fan. They may have been misunderstood by people around them when they were living. Maybe they were made fun of as a child because of their peculiar personality and talents. Maybe this person saw or did things that people didn't believe in or were afraid of. They were the first in their family to be like that. Maybe they were the first to be queer or the first that had a special talent that was deemed out of the ordinary. Could have been an artistic talent but also something related to the unseen. Maybe they could sense ghosts or they had downloads about specific events. They could have been the first to break from the family patterns and traditions. Like maybe in this person's family people were carpenters or automobile constructors from father to son and they chose to be an artist instead. I'm drawn to the snake on the Weaver card. Maybe snakes were important to this person. Like it is a symbol that represents them or this could be their chinese zodiac sign. Years of the snake are 1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 or 2013 and the next one will be 2025. But more than zodiac, I feel like they related to snakes in the sense that these animals are often feared and viewed as negative when they are neither good nor bad. They hold the potential for both and will only be "bad" if you threaten them. The reason I got drawn to the snake is because I know of an artist that passed on whose clothing brand logo was a snake. If any of you are familiar with The GazettE, I'm talking about Reita and his brand SNAKEDLOWS. Especially the one with the Ouroboros that was used in 2022. If you don't resonate with any of these artists, this could have been a family member, whether you knew them during their lifetime or not.
What they want to say to you :
"Dear love, I cannot stress enough how much I love you. You lit up my life in so many ways. I can never thank you enough for the support and love you have given me over the years. I owe so much to you. I was able to live a good life because of you. Please allow me to return the favor by being your n° 1 fan from now on <3 Fighting!"

They are trapped in a state of limbo and they want to connect with you to be free. But they also want to help you set yourself free from patterns and obligations that you don't resonate with anymore. You are lying to yourself about the state you are in. You keep working and working without taking into account how you feel. Your life has become more of a routine and less of an adventure. You closed your heart to favor your mind. It's like you no longer marvel at life and try to run from your truth. They want to connect with you because they don't want you to do the same mistakes as them and ignore the signs that you are not okay. They want to help you ground yourself into an environment and a state of being that is healthy. Behind the Void hides Get curious. Behind the king of pentacles hides the knight of cups. They want you to be curious about love again. To open your heart again. To fight for your happiness because they don't want you to know the same fate as them. It's like they're saying "there are things I wish I knew sooner because if I'd known them maybe I wouldn't have had as hard of a time as I did". "If I'd known, I'd have told people how I felt. Maybe I would have been saved from my own sorrow. I don't want you to drown in your feelings like I did". There's a theme of mental health issues, suicidal tendencies and/or abuse from close circle like family members, friends. It's like this person in their life time chose to prioritize their job and the well being of others to the detriment of their own health and emotional security. They withheld information, pretended that they were fine when they were not. They hid behind their success and their career and most likely worked themselves until it was too much for them to handle.
Advice from your guides - 3 of swords, the world, The Pillar, Ask Body
Don't isolate yourself and remain in your anger or sadness. Speak up to somebody, reach out, open your heart to the world. There are other people who share your pain and doubts, who will be able to relate to what you go through and help you on your journey. Strengthen your body but also pay attention to the signs it is sending you. If you feel unusual pain, pay attention to it. Your third eye is opening. You are becoming more sensitive to spirit and other's emotions. So make sure you build strong enough walls to protect yourself from spiritual attacks. Ask your guides for help if you feel like you can't rely on anyone. Spend time in contemplation and prayer. The spirit of the cheetah is here to remind you that it's important to save your energy and only spend it for what matters. You need to find your center back instead of dispersing your energy in many projects at a time. "It is not unusual for the Cheetah Spirit Animal to come as a guide and support for people who have intense feelings. If you are empathetic, Cheetah reminds you it’s okay and healthy to cry. It releases all the excess input bumping around in your aura while cleansing and decreasing stress. Pause for a moment. Cry and then give yourself something wonderful afterward." You are asked to slow down and take time to let your emotions be expressed instead of repressing them. [Source : what is my spiritanimal]

Who is trying to reach out?

I get two possibilities for this group. Some of you could have a passed on ancestor / parent trying to contact you. For others, this person is living but you are not in contact with them at the moment. In both cases, I get this feeling of communication being blocked. It's as if you refuse to be in contact with them or you delay the moments when you are in contact with them. No matter the situation, you are taking refuge in your work as a way to avoid them. This person could be a soulmate and/or someone from your childhood. I get the feeling of a dynamic between someone that is quite old and someone that is quite young. Like a clash of generations. This is just one example between many but think of a parent and their child or a mentor and their protégé. This person could have had a higher status than yours. Aside from the careers mentioned by the tissue box messages I also sense law enforcement, military, politics. Positions of authority in general. It's like you've created a bubble around you and you stay in that bubble. No matter how hard this person is trying to reach out, their attempts are cut short by the distance between you. It's like you voluntarily keep them at bay. I feel a lot of sadness and worry coming from them. It feels like they're afraid that they can't help you. They can sense that something is troubling you and they wish to help you in any way they can but you refuse their help. They feel lonely and left out. It saddens them to see that you don't seem to trust them as much as you used to. They understand and recognize your need for space and independance, your passion and goals, your personal legend. But they also wish that you would let them be a part of it, let them in into your world and give them the opportunity to contribute to it even just a little. More than anything they want to reconnect with you and go back to lighter and innocent moments, where you share memories and try to build a future together. This doesn't have to be a romantic thing. Actually I feel more of a parental vibe than a romantic one. But of course it's going to vary depending on people so for some it could be a romantic partner that is/was very protective of you and kind of acted as a parental figure.
What they want to say to you :
"My child, you need not to cry. Our fate isn't one to worry about. I cry for all of you who are here on Earth, who do not know the taste of true love. I cry for my brothers and sisters who still have to fight the same battles, though I've fought them before. I wish I could heal the world. I wish I could heal you too. <3"
Complementary info - Underworld, Seeker rx, Paradox, The Revolutionary, knight of pentacles, 3 of pentacles, knight of pentacles, Judgement
They wish that instead of giving a lot of attention to others you would allow yourself to receive help and attention from them. That you would stop keeping them at bay and let them show you a new perspective, a different way of doing things. That you would let them pave the way a little more for you and shed light onto other paths, other skills, other people that could be helpful. They want to find a common ground with you and create something stable, fruitful. They want to team up with you in order to restore balance in your life. If some of you are facing legal matters or have been wronged, they want to help you get retribution. They wish you wouldn't be so hard on yourself and stop fighting your battles alone. It's like they're saying "it doesn't have to be just you against the whole world, you don't even have to fight if you don't want to ; if you truly want it, let me stand by your side". For a lot of you this concerns your career or your studies. They wish that you would share your load with them. They wish that you would come to them for advice instead of trying to save them the worry because they're going to worry anyway so they might as well worry with you. They wish that you wouldn't be so harsh on them and judge them so harshly. You underestimate this person's ability to understand you. They wish to say "I've been there to and I know how you feel". They want to let you know that you are not alone, they fully support you in your decisions and choices. They're ready to fight for and with you. All they need is your command. They're saying "tell me what you need and I'll be getting it for you, tell me your fears and I'll send them away". Just one word from you and they will serve justice. There's also a theme about prayer, similarily to group 1. I heard "God is mighty and if you ask you shall receive". I know religion is a touchy subject so I don't want to force beliefs on anyone but if that is something you resonate with then they encourage you to keep going and turn to God for help.
Advice from your guides - Death, Versatility rx, page of cups, 4 of swords
They want you to take rest and do things that you enjoy. You may want to get your health checked. Put an end to connections and habits that are detrimental to you.

I enjoyed your food and eating habits thoughts for Matt and Alfred as it's a nice little insight into their everyday lifestyle and mannerisms <3 Any thoughts on Arthur "forgets to eat until his stomach growls and his hands shake" Kirkland and Jack and Zee? Or for the UK bros or Francis if that more takes your fancy? <3 Thank you!
Rhys is a really good cook. Bara brith, Welsh rarebit, cawl, laverbread. The man knows what he's about. He's the second youngest in my set up but still a good deal older than Arthur so he grows up in a world where his mother is literally worshipped as a goddess. I put her right smack on the middle of a giant pile of tin which was famously the best and highest quality stuff in a world where it was desperately needed to create bronze. He grows up in stone wheelhouses with defensive towers set inside a ring fort and with that came a correspondingly decent diet. High protein, wealth being often valued less in cash than in cattle. Maman is importing gold from Ireland and wine from southern France and Greek trade goods are found. He suffers a lot of misery and violence as a young adult and that does affect his tastes in food but he never loses sight of the fact it should actually taste good. He's definitely a bit heavy on the pies and stews and he hasn't been able to entirely reconcile himself to the fact that it no longer a bit suspect of people who are wealthy enough to afford meat to not eat meat. The man has opinions on food. Lamb, mutton, leeks, cheese. He can have a conversation about it, okay. And he's very particular about how he enjoys said food. and not to dip too deep into the stereotypes but god fucking bless the Welsh for exporting the leek. The Anglo-Celtic diaspora owe a debt we will never be able to repay for the one goddamn allium that Brits seemed to actually like pre-war. He's definitely someone who's moods will be affected by when he last ate and how the food was and food is a pretty big love language for him. When he's trying to shack up with the neighbors in Brittany or Jersey or Manx the food is definitely an incentive to stay for breakfast.
Arthur for me is really interesting because he knows how to make decent food. He knows what makes food taste decent. He's had a feasting culture his entire fricken existence before 1800. Where you lose him is when trying to convince him food should taste good most if not all of the time. The Roman or perhaps slightly post roman world he's born to and raised in is one where luxury goods are coming in with spices and new vegetables and fruits are being introduced so he's had flavour from the very fucking beginning but still entirely regards it as optional. Food as a pleasure is almost alien in his brain for some reason. Late antiquity wasn't a great time for him but the slingshot extremism between everything has to be flavored with all the spices and um actually, food that tastes good is illegal is just so variable with this one. England is lush and fertile and there's no shortage of food at any point in history worse than the neighbors but you wouldn't fucken know it the way Arthur eats and hates joy. I think his outsized amount of power as an adult contributes to this habit of 'oh I'll just ride the extra battery pack that is being the weird patron saint of a rainy third of Great Britain. Wait, what do you mean I have to season my fucken food? And when that's behind him after WW2, he's increasingly irritated by the fact calories are indeed mandatory to survive. Man's taste buds never recovered from rationing in too many ways. Last 30 years he's kind of slipped towards enjoying food. The man has discovered garlic powder exists at least. Only trouble there is that now he experiments and god have mercy on his loved ones bowels. Plum sauce does not go in the spagbol please and thank you.
Zee is... More like her father than she'd like to admit. She really can be perfectly content with a cheese and marmite toastie and a cup of tea. Or one of her best inventions, instant coffee. She's got higher standards in that she generally prefers her food to be edible which is not something the medieval fucks listed above will always care about. She really really likes the act of eating as a social thing. Hangi made together in a large group, women gathered in the kitchen to make things like whitebait fritters and roasted muttonbird. She almost never ever, even when she is entitled to by one status or another took her food in her room and was always at breakfast in the morning. She always eats with people when she can. Food is almost more of an action or event to her than just personal pleasure. She's got a real weakness for fresh fruit. Just consumes batshit amounts of berries. Looking at her grocery bill is probably very funny because it's like, six items she'll rotate out for a fortnight at a time and then a fucken pile of expensive produce. Extremely fond of fish in general as well. She can cook but if anyone else present wants to take point, fine by her. She's very happy to perch on Jack's kitchen counter/bench and drink his good wine while he cooks. She might be described as slightly picky in some specific aspects especially when seafood is involved but she's really not going to have her entire life derailed because whatever her last meal wasn't great. When she was little, she didn't mind a boiled pudding or porridge for breakfast as long as it wasn't completely god awful. She's fonder of like the classic tea room sweet pastries than she'd like to admit and she's got a serious weakness for weird flavors of chocolate like a buttered toast chocolate bar and pineapple lumps. Food can be a tool of survival to her no problem, even if it's not great as well. Generally, she remembers to eat.
Jack cares a lot about food. In the immortal words of @paperbarks he's got the accent of a gold coast Hoon but the taste buds and pickiness of a Barossa sommelier. He's got that golden Mediterranean-esque climate. Sugar grows, mangos grow, finger limes are everywhere, stone fruit is plentiful. Jack wants food to taste excellent all of the time. That's not to say he's picky as in he's not going to absolutely demolish a meat pie or a chiko roll or douse his fries in chicken salt because he absolutely is but he'll genuinely ponder what wine goes best with that and how to keep Zee from drinking it all before he's even plated up dinner. His moods get absolutely fucking foul when he doesn't eat too. He's the second youngest and generally pretty chill and doesn't take all that much seriously but when he's hungry or something is genuinely shit, no one's having a good time. It was a struggle keeping his ass completely fed when he was young and food was seasonal and gonna suck a good part of the year. By far, he's the person most likely to complain about food in any given time. Also my god he can make a good cup of coffee. Chronic snacker too. All of them have some pretty serious appetites but he's probably up there tied with anyone else.

WIP Wednesday
This time from a lil post-canon Fitzier fic I am working on-
“Shall I read to you?” Francis asked, rowing against the tidal wave of James’ foul mood.
“For God's sake, Francis,” James bristled from the bed he had hardly left in the week previous. “Do I look like I am in any mood for Voltaire or your latest naval history?”
But Francis only smiled, his eyes soft; he was the patron saint of kindness and mercy.
“I had something else in mind.”
He produced a book as if from thin air, and handed it to James for his inspection.
EMMA, the capital block letters on the cover declared. James flicked his gaze from the book back to Francis.
“Austen? Have we really sunk that low?”
Where had he even found this on board? Who among the men was going on naval expeditions totting along romance books in his trunk?
“It will pass the time,” Francis replied, still refusing to meet James’ ire with his own. “And if you miss any of it, it will be no great loss besides.”
James had another sharp reply on the tip of his tongue but it occurred to him then that even Francis’s patience must have its limits and were he to push any further, Francis might simply leave. It was a terrifying prospect. He handed the book back to Francis and murmured his assent.

we agree that France lives for the idea of love but what is England's view of it? I'm not talking about feeling undeserving but overall you know?
You mean “Ideal of love”? So i will summarize this post in one quote from a French celebrity:
Tumblr media
I don’t know if you mean Arthur’s feelings towards love or Arthur’s feelings towards Francis’ ideal of love. So I’ll answer both.
Arthur, as I said in a few posts before, has a rather pessimistic view of life and doesn’t believe in love, nor does he know how to express his love. For Arthur, marriage or a love relationship is a business, in which he is the boss and he treats his partner as his subordinate. That’s why even though he has many ex-lovers, his previous relationships usually end badly. Most of his ex-lovers initially fall in love with his elegance and toughness but end up being afraid of him. He gives them all the best assets and material things while demanding their absolute obedience and they can never give their personal opinions to Arthur. The only relationship he had that was balanced in power was with Francis, and Francis changed him a lot.
Let me reiterate a little about Francis's ideal of love: as I have written here, the land of love does not mean promiscuity. There is no love in lust - which people often associate with Francis. The "love" that Francis aims for is more universal than love for a certain person. As Albert Camus said in his Nobel Prize speech for literature that the task of a writer is to understand people, not to judge them. As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said that those who suffer are no less noble than soldiers, that they are saints. As Victor Hugo concluded in Les Misérables, "love one another". That is Francis' ideal of love. Sleeping with 14 people in a week is not love, and there is no love in that act.
To Arthur, Francis's ideals were absurd and laughable. "You can't carry the whole world," Arthur told Francis. But it was because of Francis's dream that Arthur was drawn to and respected him. Arthur had always felt that if he were not by Francis' side, Francis would die. That Francis would not die of old age, not of illness due to his irresponsible lifestyle, but would burn in the flames of a revolution, drown saving someone from drowning, die from being shot in a riot, die in prison for insisting that he should be treated like the other prisoners, die of starvation for giving his last piece of bread to a stranger. These visions drove Arthur to despair, and made him feel that it was his responsibility to stay by Francis' side to keep Francis from going too far, so that Francis could die of old age beside him.
In the nationverse, Francis was beheaded during the revolution for refusing to abandon his men and flee to England. That was what haunted Arthur, making Arthur hate this world, because the person he loved the most loved this world and was taken away from him by this world. He did not want this to happen again in the future.
Ps: I recently learned that in the Regency period of England, women sometimes tied red ribbons around their necks to express their condolences for those beheaded during the French Revolution
