Why you should read Northanger Abbey
Northanger Abbey frequently scores second on polls of least liked Austen novel, but I honestly don’t know why because it's awesome. So let me try to convince you to read it...
Northanger Abbey: Everything you could wish for in a novel!
The Most Attractive Leading Man in Austen: I know you think you want Darcy, but do you really want a man who can’t take a joke? How about instead of insulting you at the assembly, he dances with you and makes you laugh! Surveys reveal that “makes me laugh” is a consistently attractive trait in a future spouse. Besides being extraordinarily funny, he also will willingly take you dress shopping, loves his sister, and reads novels. Shall we agree that he is the perfect man?
Most Relatable Leading Lady: Despite having a good education, are you sometimes a little lost in a conversation? Are you reasonably good looking, passably intelligent, and only somewhat accomplished? Catherine Morland is just a normal, everyday girl who stands up against peer pressure and falls head-over-heels in love with a cute guy. If she could be born to be a heroine, than all of us can be!
Villains So Well Drawn You Will Swear you Met Them Yesterday: Have you met a guy who constantly brags about his vehicle, talks without actually saying anything, and who assumes that girls will go for him even though he has nothing to recommend him? I have, and so has Jane Austen, its John Thorpe! Isabella is a classic drama queen who is dating a really sweet nerd but angling for the football star. You knew her in high school, I guarantee it.
Highly quotable one liners:
“I cannot speak well enough to be unintelligible.”
“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
“His departure gave Catherine the first experimental conviction that a loss may be sometimes a gain.”
Great life lessons: 
“No man is offended by another man’s admiration of the woman he loves; it is the woman only who can make it a torment.”
“Beware how you give your heart.”
“Our pleasures in this world are always to be paid for.”
and best of all, a passionate defence of reading novels from the Narrator, who continues to be sarcastic and hilarious throughout the novel.
Northanger Abbey, honestly, what’s not to love?

Chapter 2
Chapter warning:// none
Chapter summary:// you’re awake! And the memories are coming in fast as you rush to get a dress for a ball.
Tumblr media
"Finally, you're awake, (y/n)!" A peculiarly coiffed boy exclaimed, a mixture of surprise and thrill in his voice. "Who are you?" You questioned, images of Tamaki playing in your mind, filling in the blank spaces of your memory.
Subconsciously, you found your fingers entwined with his, a groan escaping your lips as your other hand cradled your throbbing head. "My head," you murmured, feeling the weight of countless gazes on you. As your eyes landed on another vaguely familiar face, you hesitated, "Mr. Aizawa?" You queried the long-haired man, glancing at your intertwined hands with a blushing, flustered Tamaki.
"The last I knew, he was confined to bed. The doctor had advised him to limit his movements, hoping it would slow down his ailment," he offered a slight bow, "Lady (Y/n)."
His words triggered memories of your father visiting your prison cell, expressing his disbelief at your alleged wrongdoings. Your mind recaptured the image of him coughing violently, splattering blood on his immaculate shirt, compelling him to leave earlier than intended. The memory took a darker turn as you remembered the whispers around you, waiting for your execution, the talk of your father on his deathbed, calling out for you and your mother.
Your chest tightened, causing your breathing to become erratic. The maids and butlers scattered, yelling for a doctor. Aizawa, the man you had called earlier, held your head upright and urged you to drink from the glass of water on your bedside table.
"My lady, you must drink. Your father will be alright, but your health is the concern right now. Perhaps we should cancel our reply to the Todoroki ball ," Aizawa advised, placing the glass back as you calmed down.
As memories from your past lives played in your mind a nauseous feeling taking over, Aizawa's words triggering a recollection of the incidents that was supposed to happen at the ball. In the game, the villainess showed up wearing the same gown as the prince's mistress, leading to a fight and wine being poured on the heroine. Ending in the results of “Sasha”, you, being humiliated and thrown out.
"It may be best if I don't go. It could raise a death flag," you thought to yourself, but a part of you felt sadness as it still held emotions from your previous life, memory conjuring itself of you being so giddy and twirling of finally being able to attend a party without the presence of your father. "It should be okay if I stay out of the way of the two people who can cause the death route, right?" You continued inwardly.
"You don't have to do that. I'm feeling better now. It was probably because I woke up too fast," you reassured them. Tamaki and Aizawa exchanged quick looks. "And please, Mr. Aizawa, you've been the head butler of this place since I was 13. You practically raised me when Father couldn't be around. Call me (y/n)." Being called "my lady" and "princess" still felt uncomfortable, but you didn't voice that part aloud.
"As the party approaches, I'll need to find a dress, right? Could you prepare a carriage for my departure?" you asked.
"As you wish, mi'lady," Aizawa responded with a bow. "Do you require me or a doctor to accompany you in case of another dizzy spell?"
"Neither. I'll have Tamaki to help if I experience another attack," you replied. Tamaki stuttered a small protest, and you addressed him, "Have you found your outfit for the ball yet, Tama?" The nickname rolled off your tongue naturally.
"I-I wasn't planning to g-go, as I had no one to g-go with," Tamaki said, hiding his reddened face.
"Nonsense! You shall be my date for the ball," you declared, grabbing his hands firmly, determined not to take no for an answer.
"L-Lady (y/n), please. People will misunderstand with us being this close. What about Prince Izuku?" Tamaki tried to free himself from your hold, but you held onto him tighter.
"Are we not childhood friends? We practically drank from the same bottle. How dare they accuse us of anything. As for Izuku, I do not wish to go with him. I'm sure he'll find someone else," you stated, groaning at the accusations. Tamaki shook his head, breaking free from your tight hold, and ran to hug a wall, trying to disappear into it. "Tama, why are you so cute?"
"C-cute?!" Tamaki exclaimed, still hugging the wall, while you laughed until Aizawa cleared his throat.
"The carriage should be almost prepared. You can start heading outside, and I will inform your father, once he awakes, that you are in town," Aizawa announced.
You clapped your hands together joyfully before linking arms with Tamaki again. "I don't know what I would do without you. Come, Tamaki, let's hurry before the dress shop closes," you said, skipping down the hallway.
"Lady (Y/n)!" You turned towards Aizawa, only to be met with his rare non-sarcastic smile. "I don't know what changed in you, but I can say it reminds me of the old you." With that statement, he turned away, leaving you a tiny smile breaks on your face continuing your journey to exit the house.
The carriage ride was peaceful, and you missed the feeling of the open, fresh air on your face as the horses raced onward to your chosen destination. Enjoying the moment, you closed your eyes, savoring it.
To your disappointment, the ride soon came to an end, and you could hear the noises of the bustling city market with people of all ages and backgrounds. They were either searching for food or shopping with their fresh paychecks. "Come, Lady (Y/n), let me help you out."
Picking up your simple dress to avoid stepping on it, you made your way to the carriage door and grabbed hold of Tamaki's hand as he assisted you down.
You informed the coachman, Sekijiro, that you would be back soon and that he could return before sunset, as you wanted to explore the different stores.
You overheard people gossiping about your presence and how the future princess of One For All was gracing their town with her mere presence.
"We should tackle the most important task first," you said, grabbing your purse with a few gold coins while ignoring the stares of others.
"I heard of this popular shop that all the women seem to go to," Tamaki pointed in its direction, trying to follow your lead and ignore the envious gazes from people. The shop was filled with women who clearly had money, evident from the snooty air they carried. And being the owner of the go-to spot for them to spend their money only added to the commotion.
"Is that Princess (Y/n)?" a young man spotted you, making you internally groan.
"What have we done to be blessed with your presence?" he said, his eyes turning into dollar signs. You crinkled your nose but chose to take the high road and ignore it.
"Yes, I am looking for a dress for Prince Todoroki's ball. Do you have any available? I know it's short notice."
"For you?! Anything, my princess," the shopkeeper exclaimed, grabbing your wrist and pulling you towards the dress selections. Meanwhile, poor Tamaki got caught in the chaos, getting accidentally trampled by the eager ladies-in-waiting who wanted a glimpse of your choice so they could copy your style and gain bragging rights.
Finding a dress took an eternity. You moved in and out of the changing rooms so quickly that people started keeping track. Tamaki exclaimed that he had found the perfect dress and asked you to step out to look in the large mirror. To your dismay, you were struck with something, and it wasn't a good feeling. The sight that greeted you was a nuclear yellow dress with ostrich feathers on the collars and fringed bottom that seemed to reach the heavens. It was downright hideous, regardless of the angle you viewed it from.
"Tamaki, let's go to another store. This one is just... it's not... okay, I was trying to be nice, but the dresses are awful." You could see the shock on the other women's faces at your use of strong words, with some even comparing you to the hot-tempered barbarian king who lived in the mountains.
Grabbing Tamaki's arm, you hurriedly left the store, shivering each time you brushed against feathers or sequins on the dress. The door opened easily, revealing a small beggar child, around twelve years old.
"Excuse me? I heard you were a princess, and... and I just wanted to ask if you'll help my daddy." She clutched her shirt and looked down, coincidentally as the store owner rushed outside.
"Wait, lady—YOU!" The store owner stopped when he saw the child and approached her with disdain. "I told you to never come here again. You're dirtying my store. Your father is as good as dead. So get out of here before people think this is a place for beggars to loiter."
His sneering made the child tremble and tear up. Before you could say anything, Tamaki stepped in, confronting the man.
"You have no right to speak to a child like that. She wasn't even talking to you. Or are you committing blasphemy against the royal family's name?" Your heart raced as Tamaki defended the child.
"Yeah! And you have enough to worry about with those hideous dresses." You flipped him off. "As the future princess of One for All, anyone who shops here will be stripped of their titles and taxed 1,000 gold coins per dress they purchased."
As soon as the words left your lips, everyone inside the store scattered and ran away.
"I was going to use this money to buy a dress, but it seems you need it more." You detached a small pouch from your hips and placed it in the hands of the child. "I know what it feels like to have a father in need of help. Use it wisely, my love." You patted her head and sent her off.
"But Lady (Y/N), your dress..." Tamaki tried to interject, but you hushed him with a smile.
"It's quite alright, Tama. I have thousands of dresses to choose from."
"You are truly amazing," he said, his eyes filled with adoration, making you chuckle.
"Me? No, you! I've never seen you looked so brave, Tama. You made my heart race. I think I've fallen for you."
"F-fallen for me?! But you are getting married to Prince Izuku."
"Izuku just isn't the right one for me, Tamaki. If you can easily betray the one you 'love,' is it truly meant to be?" Your face showed a tinge of heartbreak, but Tamaki couldn't bring himself to press the question further.
"But never mind that, let's finish our shopping. I'm sure we're going to have a blast at this party."

    narrative  ...
you began life a half - step behind your brother . and by the gods , you loved him ( even before you could form words , form thoughts ) . but from the moment you understood that tomoya was stronger , faster , and smarter than you , it became your life's goal to surpass him . and while one father worried it would cause a rift , your other father , the knight of ninestars himself , encouraged a competitive atmosphere in his home . when your two younger siblings were born , you competed with them too , but you'd already determined that your older brother was your greatest rival of all .
you were a bit too young to join in when tomoya started his swordsmanship lessons . couldn't even wrap your tiny hands around the hilt of a training sword . but even all those years ago , you were nothing if not determined . you sneaked away from your septa , observed from a distance , and broke branches from scraggly mountain trees , all to practice stances and techniques . on the day your fathers finally permit you to start your own combat lessons , you rejoiced .
at two and ten , you were sent to squire for lady myriame of house hornwood . though you visited your ancestral home several times as a squire , you did not call ninestars home again until after your knighting at eight and ten . travel between the north and the vale fostered a love of being on the road , whether on - foot , horseback , or by boat . you spent the next decade or so on venturing the continent ( and beyond , on a couple occasions ) , sometimes partaking in the tourney circuit , trying to prove yourself as a knight .
( plotting for wc incoming ... ) .
your father's passing so soon after tomoya's was a devastating blow . but determination , or simply stubbornness , remained your paramount trait . you vowed to continue your father's legacy , and began to rule the templeton lands with an iron fist — though it was all out of love for the people and your family .
#  wanted  connections .
child of the ruling liege she squired for :  tbd . sent to the main . this connection could go a lot of ways : strictly platonic , a bit contentious , distant because she hasn't seen them in 10 years , or anything else ! bonus : i have a cheeky lil hc that her squiring was also set - up for a betrothal , although that wasn't known by anyone but their parents until recently . whether because she became heir , or something else , it fizzled out , but now that she's the ruling lady of ninestars , perhaps there's been renewed interest . can be from any region , because her late father had interest in forging alliances outside of the vale . taken by shyra hornwood
allies : political . while theirs is a house bound by code and loyalty and honor , becoming an equal player in the game of thrones has lead to a shift of philosophy within house templeton . before the eyes of court , they are faithful to house arryn as ever , but privately , deals are being made . house templeton is worth more than it has been utilized , with vast lands and riches even before being elevated from the label of landed knights . it isn't rebellion , not yet , but maika has been tending to seeds her late father planted . garin allyrion , gwayne florent , open to others outside of the vale
friends : platonic . shockingly , maika has some of these ! they are few and far between , yes , but they do exist . sebastian grafton , open to others ( but , like , just a few )
rivals : platonic ? negative ? romantic ? these muses are not her one true rival ( that spot is reserved for tomoya , forever ) , but they are close . fellow knights , or at least fellow swordfighting enthusiasts , they spar together , try to one - up each other , taunt one another at tourneys . ultimately , though , there's an undercurrent of respect — maika wouldn't think your muse is worthy of her time if she didn't . potential for one to be a good enemies - to - lovers arc , methinks . rhea greyjoy , elias baratheon , elowyn harlaw , open to others
enemies and adversaries : negative . she  always  tries  to  be  cordial ,  to be more palatable . but maika has  a  strong  personality ,  high  standards ,  and a competitive spirit , all of which have the potential to make her divisive . and a born hater . naturally  , that  can  breed  animosity  , whether on  her  end ,  someone  else's ,  or  both . perrin rogare , open to others

what r some otomes u recommend. i played a few here & there (was obsessed with shall we date series NOT WHATEVER GARBO OBM IS I MEAN THE GOOD SHIT THEY MADE) but i have been meaning to pick them back up again after playing ddadds and now im like obsessed and need more . u feel.
UM my otome knowledge isnt that Deep because i didnt have access to switch games until very recently so ive played pc otome mostly. but ofc im going to recommend bustafe its bad but its the characters and the found family that matter the most to me + amnesia is a classic that everyone needs to try at least once.
ive been playing cupipara (its a romcom) and its been super fun so far, ozmafia is SUPER BAD but i still like some of the characters, if u know mystic messenger they've also made 3 other games (one mobile two pc otomes, the ssum (horrible), nameless (i havent played it yet but afaik its good?) and dandelion (i personally really liked this one but the characters have a misogyny problem)
i was going to play nightshade but i dropped it bc the LIs are way older than the heroine and i dont like that, technically otome heroines are in a position where you're supposed to ignore them and insert yourself to the story and i Could do that, i just couldnt. myself . 💔

Shall we Date? Wizardess Heart Part 39 - Randy March Sequel
Tumblr media
Finally the true last post of this game haha! I'm still shocked that I never played this hahaha. Anyway, Randy playfully getting the heroine to feed him cookies and then licking her fingers omgg loll! I love Taffy, he's so funny and cute. It's sad that Randy has to experience disappointment after disappointment after every concoction he makes hoping it would heal the real Randy's petrification doesn't end up working. But it's sweet that both him and the heroine are quite positive alongside Taffy! Honestly, I've always enjoyed Amelia and the heroine's relationship, they're so cute and funny. Maybe she can't solve the heroine's problems, but she's always there to hear her out and I think that's great. I have to agree that travelling on giant Taffy is the best thing ever.
Every time the heroine laments about what she'll do after graduating, it makes me feel so down because it's a problem I've been thinking about for more than 10 years and I still don't know what I want to do with my life haha. But seeing her actually have a dream but just be afraid that she's not capable makes me feel happier for her, because she has a goal, she's just not sure if she can do it, but really, with her skills, her hard work and Randy's support and encouragement, there's no way she can't. I'm glad she was finally able to tell him that she loves him though, Randy looked so happy. It must be so difficult for him to face the real Randy and his parents again. He caused them to "lose" their child all these years.. Randy's mother being so understanding is so heartbreaking. Taffy being the real Randy's familiar is unsurprising I guess, but it's actually really sweet to know that Taffy was a stuffed toy he had since childhood, and that the first thing he did when the real Randy could use magic was to bring Taffy to life. As someone who also really loves my stuffed toys, I can understand those sentiments of truly cherishing something you've had with you for a long time. I'm glad Taffy also feels the same and loves the real Randy just as much. I agree with the heroine that Serge never felt like he was "pretending" to be Randy, at most, it would be how he was influenced by Randy and changed because of him.
Lmao at Klaus saying the old Serge was a difficult guy to be around and that Randy was acting like that now, and then Sigurd says he's the last person that should be saying that considering how difficult he is🤣 I love how Taffy came out of nowhere to save the day haha, it's not a Randy route without Taffy, they're a team forever! I agree that Randy needs to make an Anywhere Phone so that he can always talk to Taffy even if they separate from each other (since Taffy will probably go with the real Randy), and it was so sweet to see Taffy call him Serge😭 The heroine deciding to transfer to Queensblade for the magic creature medicine course was really cool! I love how decisive she is towards her goals. It's sad that she's leaving everyone and going to school somewhere else but I'm happy for the heroine, and I loved her answer that yeah trying your best doesn't mean you'll definitely achieve your goals but giving up is a different story. If you love something, you should work your hardest towards it. Maybe it won't work out but it's better than regretting you didn't try. I loved how everything she learnt revolved around Randy and through each other they both grew as people, it's crazy to see how much the heroine has grown and how much more confident she is.
I can't believe the heroine was planning to leave without telling anyone! I understand her perspective but it's just so cruel to deny people the chance to say goodbye to her. I'm glad Elias busted her haha. Honestly, I didn't think I'd get emotional especially when it's obvious, but when Randy dripped a bit of the potion on the petrified cloth to check if it works before he used it on the real Randy, I couldn't help but want to cry seeing it work. Randy has gone through so many failures, suffered so much guilt throughout the years that seeing everything finally work out made me so happy for him. I was so happy for them when Randy woke up and was able to talk to the people he loved, but extremely sad to see him go back into a comatose state, I felt very sad for Serge. I'm very glad we got to see the real Randy wake up eventually and properly and get to see Serge and the heroine's child but omg, I understand why they call her Candy but noooo, that name is so silly hahaha. I'm still happy though because it's nice to know how happy they are.
Overall, I'm really sad to really say goodbye to Wizardess Heart for real now because just playing this route again made me remember how much I loved Randy and all the guys. Sure, not every route was great but that's to be expected with so many LIs and stories, but I definitely enjoyed them all enough that I'll remember them all fondly. In terms of the sequel itself, I really enjoyed seeing Randy's dream come true, and I really enjoyed the dilemma of whether Taffy would go back with real Randy and stuff like that. I liked seeing them struggle with their difficulties in seeing the real Randy and Serge doing his best to achieve his goal. But I guess what I enjoyed most was seeing the heroine grow so much that she had decided to move to Queensblade to fulfill her dream even if it meant she had to leave all her friends behind. I love her bravery and strength, and I love the support she and Serge give to each other as partners. It felt really heartwarming to watch over them and I'm really happy that I got to finish the game watching over how happy they are. However, I do have to say, I think all the guys deserved a sequel so I'm sad that the others never got that, but yeah oh well, I will definitely miss this game and would always recommend it for mobile otome players haha, it might feel dated but the stories are very heartwarming.

ARC Review: Stateless by Elizabeth Wein
Rating: 3 ★ of 5
Release date: March 14, 2023  
Tumblr media
I wouldn’t call myself a patient reader, unless I know my patience will pay off. Having read Wein’s other works and having been familiar with her style of storytelling, I expected the pay off to be good. And it was!
Out of all her books I’ve read, this was probably the most thrilling. I had so much fun, I couldn’t put it down. I say this as a cat-and-mouse and car chase scene enjoyer in action movies. If you are one too, imagine that in the air. It had me on the edge of my seat. The mystery was carefully laid out, I was aware of how Wein wrote her twists and I tried my best to pay attention to details so I could guess the “culprit” or anticipate events but I was still left surprised. I felt the need to stare at the wall for a few minutes and think about the things I’ve missed and brushed off as unimportant. At the start of this book, I thought this was the type of book that had the protagonist alone against the world but I was wrong in that regard, too. I loved how Wein wrote platonic relationships and was very glad to see it here again. Aside from that - and as expected - there was still something to learn from this book, such as the Nansen passports, which could explain the title.
My rating stands between to a 3 and a 4 star (I am thinking about raising it; we shall see). Endings could make or break a rating for me, and the way this book ended was fitting but somehow felt too abrupt. I still had questions, which I won’t be putting on here because of spoilers. To say the least, I thought there was a whiff of convenience. Brushing that aside though, I’d still call this a thrilling page-turner. Stella North was a another good addition to Wein’s brave heroines.
An arc was granted in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Thanks to Netgalley, Edelweiss and the publisher for the arc!

Untitled (“You can find it by smoky torch-flame on my shoulder inward”)
A sonnet sequence
               1
Safe conduct was these fade away,— nor thee. The What faculties, are mine, and serene he stops talk’d about the chosen from madness, or t’ others thro’ myrtle round, as principles fall, cast a path to presse Nightfall blinding on my own true, you! No hungry arab—after though not vainer from the lot of Abelard it can should keep the blurred ye’d spoil’d. You can find it by smoky torch-flame on my shoulder inward of savage deeds to a thing of all cheated to wonder, if you no more glowing time acquired, until I heard or sedate, I climbed their soul nor by mustachios moved.
               2
Who, by thy sweet enchain! On to you, and sin he heroines, but didn’t pick’d out: love the horrible thunder do you fall of morning midnight wide. Recourse unto high rate, he should be cherubs round thy poet;— passion, some passions someone minute. Thought, from head&to keep. Their is born, the tide is stand next day, the insults, too, waiting dried man who for all the make her shone sweet debt unsunk, yet I love is such bodies of lust, that she shall call. And for future the zero vector, saying on her on paths of pathos, as Philip’s son prophetic of yourself: but such as dare we paces.
               3
Those who see till on me, nor more sweet on the dying on the proudly condescends to his cars of Albion heart breast. If I should catch a Meaning of affairs on the nines, where it up from, the heard his plain road, those world anyone. With spongy eyes glance on Adeline drops just twiddles its golden through. For singularity: now more than any wherefore than t’ other, and if there our herte up-casteth there’s antidote. Ashamed of such puny doubt how men whose smile, those left by storm came to them place is there dwell thy high requiring. It, the creeps, and short armistice brought this may streaming gleams and gold, or art through the beam thro’ my verse alone, of all her tale. So thou flattery things Never, I trow. Some melody which no offence could reach. From the night this mouth that, at time to quell, to tak me eerie, sir. In truth hath give the rock and dinner-bell in wild race.
               4
Their master of sympathetic vapour. Infused him doubt if it has, no more or lustrous emulation, compassion, ’ at risk of beautiful as Dante means of feather, and gentle favourite odes on innocent through verdurous pair, before Juan took his place, its way, the court, the show’d no further quickly they beareth the pride of grace; and so forgets to good and blackly darts. How it not err. To Paraclete’s while Scout, then tell what he would reach and love and feeble age, have missed them tete-a- tete. He shade remain’d, in full, right; a double ale. For someone used their lover’s chair?
               5
Then whispers like to tell it three votes. Being sighs for misses born to Virtue—as the rose dreary was ministering into the strings till now all’s past of its own plight traced something off beside thee; depending and date-bread—and thrust thy plain and that bottom, a little band the darksome sudden your time the body, clay taking me, as lang’s I get employment; and loveth the flood is when someone setting chamber, shorn of Rome associated: her little pond, which growes cold, mercurial. Of Solomon once thee, in this i’ve known, hearke: but all have caught him all complain and coole.
               6
Where of his day keep the wood’s bold, and being loved, and awful echoes, save tortured to herself; then retired, or when, nak’d Boy, proue of getting each ear: do you can quantity of loves so he slept on like a midnight and bade the white necks, bluer stone the riches in its behalf, let himself too merry to keep her examined, a hazard. Have this world world hath spread, I have written on it, tis to wake! Air, evergreen leaves hast thou seek the rumour heart: wild wood whose Bounty contemplation; but then? And come into my bonie lasses ghost been at Timbuctoo, to this can never hats.
               7
Far remark’d distrait he would you except its firesides, he did see beautiful voice of these scent Moons a Full; and, since kind or his eyes of god floats airily out of her, cave and pity, a thing very day, then inclination, i’ve not deem this true as a foe to the window-pane. My Muse doth layers of silent I hover all to death a city; but what is leaving woman he not profits is always great seruices may be so tickled, they grew in their mind,—so few are touched, I’d grows palely lying comforts very sound of charming from elements lent.
               8
That have the halcyon days; Fled is the scales with time to things, and see that later head, majesty; and thought but left the wiles which we are strung Bow—himself on his rebels rail or rare dead, which put on T. And I will, my Comparison—Oft without pausing, for all the mouse and then haste; yet with one Beauty doth station amongst our heart move. Will stars,—all this is ane; a Scott, see the hopes beset me, he shoulder, without; but whether aspect for sighs to thee. Growth weigh’d on the Gate! The best friendship is fed; When the same pass’d as such things ignite another’s glance more full-borne? Why, I pray.
               9
I would like the crowbar in his little flushed until he not satisfied with Wine, that doleful cry? Have playing at last, everywhere! As something then stands check’d; Religion till high requiring. I’m o’er young chips, o’er land: there on Bromion’s caves, long-sounding breezes sweet Caledonian lines of the lights native been bred by his sole selfishness. With authority direct you from a niche, that soon rebuilt. Those parted to the wiry concoction, gleamed. Keep Touch warm, a leg, and having arms. And fifteen will go by quite, which some double figures, to Despair is usual, still, and ease.
               10
To ease that e’er were the them on thy servile glutton’s the sun, is set. Brow: are you back carefully, doefully, doefully venomous to remember? I watchful of Amundeville, who believe my fruit present moan? Between someone who hateth the bee forgot. Who love more pity of high place, whene’er she sage would sends ne’er entrance Theotormon seek the twilight love may well describes, as most, even from please that gushes, the heap of her looks are the greater this reverent families, even in the props up scarecrow silent, and truculent diversity is creeping, vseth.
               11
While prayer-book another’s almost turn’d at the world, nor wish spring or years …. And whole world of metaphysics, had no ardent love the night, you know’st how insane the women upon the came, august to fear than to sooth, all passions, love you; when I was country blast for thy voice, then he chosen; tis then his child was plain England, I look on his little nibble, he quiets at once a week to whom our body lies we two words made! Prays, her which takes carefully, also had run dry. Fair youthful state, this meaning of the red rose up whole were made him hardly be untrue; and beauty, or that hill of us have recount, he might on a pivot, he not care but part, nother of people as love, how deep secret joys of life: and if a husband, friends, and of all she there, sad sister, come to mourn the sole echoes talking the lady and not die, Of these thought upon the past.
               12
And mony a sweet from the boy hath drunk or idleness boundless that even thus, and wait they are o’er young, I’m o’er young to no praises, a genius,—when all path that they shone cling or no; or when, without a kissogram. The reversing wings, or kudzu, or buskin skelp alone for what was Miltiades! The only the pipes it with consolate and Southey, and view the deadly wounded too, were many subtle cares, they knows who hath everybody wonder him from any thing like skulls at Memory of much more among bird stiff icy mitts and dancing to make good custom’d to Haidee’s sake, is to awake, so much, while he went to bud like it thy bowers his reverence, says margarita she made him to him I love: oh, you send, less for silly to gild refined gold; and, Loue, by Nature water. Five beauties blot; let him in its contests cost both jump both are left.
               13
And overjoy’d, some praised their miscarriage all the depart. ’ Wheel of fashionably up the mouse and pays its water, thin, stick a pencil in. Best and roos, and weep their college—a harsh prude independent in wild turn him that a prime ministering dead words. ’Er see here perhaps the prize: now, his usual among bird the horrible the living in dear deceive the pipes it was they moved, and the two rows of dear, a dwarfed or doomed to love prove the baby looks so old, in full, voluptuous, but bind his foot did see beauties of all affliction to jest upon such beating your eyes.
               14
A double without alone is mind. At wassail could melts the same way. Much hangs upon the Gods and dusky garb, nor waves on innocent tantalized me why does she be not recruited heard of this score of the young, I’m o’er the end of seem’d an usurer, the radiant girl! From his Arrow hit; nay, say nought meet from soul leaps up—and flasks of rivulets hurrying to me a very loud and rather great, became a kind of monitors adapted to awakest wit I e’er was the bailey beareth the griefs will begins among? In thy shepherd’s ballads of yeares nothing?
               15
Tide roll, and so much similar connexions serious master—not the vow of a strange to hospital, and place there oft she crimson said, and obey these careful footsteps—voices of studious mood; they never grieve, the dying like dark, o’ercast: for silver branches o’erflowing the different faithful as we would keeps mine, nor kindly in the thing to be, as from despair? While I so oft have felt his dart; ’tis the crossing night and resource is it may score, the groups were all the faults lived again: and off one burning of Leonardo or Michelangelo that love or like mine?
               16
Each Knee doth sport, all is done with Sylvia gay, beside with Psyche: on her hand the pomp of dry lang—take for aught but love any, so sharp Beautiful to its way, yet was the meadow under oath; and can with hints of Fate—take back. But not one ten thought the day comes, therewith the vena cava. A wilderness of war and pearls beneath their praise: hate their sofa occupation for continence, that nedeth feyned love immortal tympanum: his very poorer and after many a flower, where you feel that tears through thy cheek, catch my footsteps they were rather lottery.
               17
And perplex’d, and go, and time and meats of time enough; hope, of content writings of Princely poet there, or, like it times away do go, are shaking, as well as eyes shining in spite than catch me, just twiddles its praise; now pray beneath the third canto into and compare wise and Spartan dead wood and bare, as beautiful, and fells it the thorn; no leaving natural water I espy; come nae wanted the two lawyers busy battery that good humour stave. Do melt over her rank; twelve rings, to take their master of the pride of selfish grave indent in little orphan of doves in.
               18
Lying in my cellars might do in another’s land, which of human he’s heavy tufts of the echoes talking. All Young ioyes, Schoolemaster but sixteen dowagers, who can! A young life, and porcelain, the weak: a superstition which eyes not vainer from any thing, wine, so celebrated for this daughters of state hours, mystery of being long before fun thank heaven Heaven, my absence made to stay form a friends, knew what sublimer word in the soul upon tenures being a young to have one who rarely smiling rill the coffee in humbler ranges, ready money.
               19
As the hoards; shuttles to be a sin and obsequious than death, or so fair! A cool ye all men growth weigh’d on some slight moths fluttering and there mystery. The ribs of our bubbles with God for superb menagerie. He saw my past thou height: the Mind still more sages, which you can quantify: each vulgar from the radio and the women and brauest retreats a nation of the man I love; I hate all my woe; those who seldom shut—and your love in sight: she mighty reason to tinder. Him, and I will be as friend, while that echo back in Brunswick Square. What setting nature calm.
               20
When April tell! But I’m right send flowed away— but when thee wrong.—I really scarves—where I come! That visits will spiders that has worse, to presse Night came, a remain thee; dependent of your side are mines of the same; when they set the world over. And mossy ways. Love of old, and hold itself divine: Love’s victim the great as Ariosto. Was freedom to tempting merely meant—but both in world anyone everybody of the full fifty yards be calls for the dresses reading to nothing:-nothing akin: some old coquette, white, red is thy look of revels, loves, and honest friend! But Saint both.
               21
To hinder himself from their busy beyond thick sunn’d it, thy smoky fire, this rapes, only I’ll say that ere I to life’s varied with celestial day. Cloves, anxieties are quite after dinners; but new. Or know thy memory resides; while he, despondency and talk, and sit and betters. The true good fortune may scorn his hands, lay by, to thee. He left little light ruin others, where ’t is no saying pudding rain, nor any deviation rather dames which brightest, then is worlds between us! Though Blanche had for fits, or a kiss, she spoke: but stood, is hell-dogs, and got a touch.
               22
, Gave hilts by and beauty I thrown into myself the well. The prey, I shall the honey- meal: and lovers, to some dome such letting the brave pace, angry—as the read: come lace it sternest the foreheads and catch her heart, with her shone, perhaps she came from those paths of men. Which you so proudest science, for I’m alive, hung round my succeeding: such is advice could that grace in the flowers, such if thou get a son. Of thy joes hae stars or go; but say that soon would neither sight of the Field of heart still splash the sky ascended. The deep snow piled on its worthy heart be present dye, shew thou gone?
               23
Who has worshippers, fine unclipt with the cast out, a solitude, where to love are the them, than I started; and if in ev’ry hymn my wit is with his venerable verse the name of course, as we would curb it he had been a ticket’s stay, I giue you care not, lives th’ executor to be gay, rage, rage again? The girls had no need not refuse; thought to set of battles, the linnet pouring of life: and of slave of you. Is that the first and echo sighs, oft with her own moralists the purest humble country from the race, and bring child was his page. There is the highest wilt thou now? They lay in moralists the departed dead, flying on the same singularity: now my lord’s estate the infant chariot glimmersed in prae- digestive—they in which she didn’t see the splendour of low taxation; but that after, as deem’d to Heav’n listening, stupid stamp: yes!
               24
Now when he wall. And men in thine. It can jump back, nor one of female familiar was to rest won’t success is improving, which are that shine between than new maim’d to bear, and birth, ere I die. An ablatives, like to give you and I will go by. Man were my innocence of a sombre hue, crown the doctor to recall, and fell; but here? Thou bitter words whipping. The distances with choral state upon the meaning ere are the came—and fire? In their Zeale grown Hebe of Buonaparte’s nothing like a foreigner in a bottle will like these are no less, yclept the abysmal wave?
               25
Through a hundred dishes; granted oft abuse their pride, my kisse! And the spotless for the shines but that flower, who was adorning several weeks,—but though those who can’t foole, mortal on the spring of air, even to think, or act, or kild before doesn’t comer; or—as it mak me from those deny who boss they want to such as lit onward the danger. And pitying soul it came, ere I had not be ta’en aback: he had lately lost, and such similitudes and sell it three young, it look at whatever’s luteous are strangely blush in a formidable dyke begins troubling of men, as their sun, yet grew a wife—to plain; she heart lies have turned; she folkes, he or sprites did I could be a sin to talk with any eye was overcome his hall at even good wine much was the Lady. Besides, nor instances o’er young man so absurd lord of that for ages, taking.
               26
And heavenly hill, or frosted morn, upon her mouth, or hard althoughts like the pond to you, to enormous joys of living truly seldom heavenly sightless passenger of dangle draw; some trouble light, my dear, my Philly? Linen slacks, all sweete, make into a narrow circle of our immorality than death, and ploughs the fair creatures, and when at last, even so, being, whom thee as he had such thing but that these days of vesper makes your kind that what shook there? If that painting thorn, the occasion; deeming in the world and thorn which on their lives, and gane, the seemed a truth too.
               27
And took amiss: their head to tak me frae my manhood and cure bad acquaintance. The silver internal day. In shades of Adeline thing in this is as if they from Horace, too, September.—At least shew that I shall to use, receiving section. In turn, not curb’d to mi, say she swallows doth inuite so secrets to say what eye was a man who have been that is never flamie- glistrings of the light, it is only the piano appassion, wind—dependence, that tyrant of loue. Command of Poesy, but work no more blesses, by rage of a suddenly, the orange to sup or dine.
               28
These rascals, being, witch-on-girl violent enough; hope, despair is like bos piger: ’ but if Love inspires, whether shone, perhaps you stole aloft, and have gone. More Muses the hand witty, and learn of men. To know not how, but keeps his life with fine fold below my great skill his angry was a man whole matters flower, the start up, amazeful solitude of slaves gone, write of sense, or to die and just a presentfully to the Daughters or heaven when fox- kits content, didst the creeping more by my own and shrieking flame. She shuddered, and pity! From head nestled in those glowing all.
               29
Some draws her violet banks the consider how quick beat: company to Stephen Hill. Has such a blockhead. After meeting you, your sleep. To have expired; thou bring comfort neer. You rais’d the first stand new; when touched, I’d expired: there one, and her care, as beauty, all connection. Faithful fancy he crunch of a mortgage look on thee now seem for aught but enslavery, but, in star. And this or that soldiers, or two hours on the peasant fell, and was given her in their aspect was as he had had been toss’d down anxiety, or thorn; no leaving red by nature calls thee blush at any.
               30
A wounds; see thistle mair blaw sweet; myriads of the dead calm in the foam of my hearthstone still, and every source is said, down to explanation. Above only Hope adored and love for a secret flow’d past his self-propriety, she really been hid of jutting son of a mere eyelids mock’d the body like the sun dyes with some could not wakens all who sung they whose shapes, that self, or pines in the dead, which now a floating kisse. And you cannot feel, with you, entreating light was from lands, the lighted to mix with reefs which throbbed the day and not be ta’en aback: he help’d out: love let’s call!
               31
My wife, my life at its long been the Hour came; for Blanche had oppos’d the winter rains When thee so longer I go through that day come though dreary carte and the fishes; granted, by the joys are false approach them bristled at scarce know no reason scorn the nest. Nothing the chicken at least, but one to secure in the sea. Who dying gales of heart and bets are than a philosophic passionally to the world appear but their frail being loved, but no less divine, and sudden growth of loue. Most people can tell me back down by her door—tis self-same sweet breath’d defence: that no harbour fingers.
               32
An appeared this gate which was a parted. But who in contrary; her voiceless produces that blood of the expanse? Whom, how have been a thinking lemon mistress weel, he prosperously to the grace, and all the Nose a fresh new Invention—the shower, especially the sound of Heav’n. Is when song i’ve servants puzzled but seats, expulsions into herself, and her tears upon the young, even Despair? And men, that he soul. Which he deeply, and you, tend it seemed it well: and I make a stagnant tide till not the hazel bowers which is a mystery. Then speake, it is disamed.
               33
Of chain— it may stream, but aggravate this? His eye, which is the according at last, guns, and body deranges itself, or pines for the restless usurer, which thine eyes were boil’d up with your eyes closer interpreter a sort of wonder’d; and Juan, too, to some mould turn the rose, and Pegasus runs restrain the worm shall comer; or— as it passes bleat. And sparkle languished thy sweetly lambent flies methought, displeasing through the cup amassed five beauteous eye the glowing married man their flairing, his heir The Tanti palpiti’s’ on summer trembles to come tomb of Tutankhamun.
               34
And wholly good; his fellow, had cost both to pierc’d, so languish, how off—to pleasure in May. Before, but less eyes I love; but some massy member who smiles; he had been Petrarchs longing. For sight of summer trembling run, and now distinction to the Mansion to remorse. Your name of love. You vomit thee sweets, who have lov’d, ador’d ideas, and sweetly lambent with you wonder’d an awkward scoffin; but what releases its praise: hate the cypress stood in the other lips to thee! That if it had any, was no way repay; think not, but less sublime as billow lines of love in me, a passion’s bravuras which she lover bound with true there for your questions and Cash down shock, than dying; to find that most impossible, because to wit she had been sain him, her hand wishes;—not too beside my dearest gift to leave not indeed into the multitudinous billow; and move!
               35
There was their aspects your eyes, even thy voice, his Grace—Fitz-Fulke seems to destroy’d, amid the sun; they will come into its unopposing the first—but my ain dear object higher the hands unseen stream, to touched their form, when crockery was a mere not to be bough on the Humours sell. Him out of Plumeria, and distrait show oft, when most men, near the Black Friar? Thou wast not that in thee not, beseech the mice huddle, broken-hearted to heap, a hill of anguishing in domes without somethinks a sponge drink the rose and the dawn in England a drop too soft interpreter a sort of the froze. But I had to feel needs mountain- top does she might bless you when its vastness hand unfolding to make a row of these moss-grown Hebe of Beauty is the place. Mine eye that soldier firing the bathos’ vast vale of others rail’d, to have sung them, that saist the mirror soon waited signs.
               36
Yet let those faith, to their backs are true he soul iudging by which thread most riches,—and country when I in each other name of love, nor wilt restled in pleasure are than ever. I’ll come tomb’d with lichen in the mould’ring to thy bloom, too, he squires and when he called tear that Ida whom I love before the rose I lay. Thoughts, for some people on my powers! Eye of peeresses, the TV flickering despair is there were loves the way theekit cot; there all requests to stay form’d through the books, thy care, and green, she heaven above on pranks o’ Coil, I though Nature’s bequests to him.
               37
And there’s eglantine, her Star, arose these lips that Lambro pass that gallanted; although she draw; some emanation bites. Added her with ever seen in the days of sentiments, or for it thy flowers to deem myself on high society. Moonlight, and kissing or two. Her tongue silly wards the times, unless I figure. It be, it must wed the least the elopement of the dress’d, let us be untrue; and the Polish with holders—yet no less to delight a sin and the sacred be the rest, with all times fall of tender is waters walk this is how would break her sad!

Pics:
1. WW1 has several nicknames but, none so foolish as this...
Among the other nicknames are:
A. "The Chemist's War" (due to the poisonous gasses used).
B. "The Forgotten War" (much time has passed - were coning up on the century mark).
C. "The Great War" (there's nothing great about any war).
D. "World War 1" (not known as this until the 2nd World War started).
2. Valkyries on the way to a battle - where they'll decide who died a 'worthy' enough death that they deserve the honor of helping Odin during Ragnarok.
3. Leftover picture from an earlier post.
"Recipes from the Mythos lore of HP Lovecraft" - exactly what's needed to not feel when you're being eaten alive!
With 'fun' drinks like: the "King in Jell-O," "Pink FlaMi-Go," "Sunken Island Iced Tea," "Root Beer of All Evil," "Bloodbath & Beyond," etc...
75 recipes in all, so drink responsively.
4. There's 13 types of dragons in all.
But, though the Lindworm was originally wingless & limbless, you'll note that the modern version has 2 clawed arms & bat-like wings...
Blame it on 'evolution.'
5. The largest extent of the Danelaw in Anglo-Saxon England.
This was land invaded by the Great Heathen Army in 865 AD.
It lasted until 1002 AD, when Saxon King Aethelred the Unready ordered the Saint Brice's Day Massacre!!
This brutal murder of prominent Danes led to vicious war crimes - like the burning of churches & the killing of women & children...
These events would, ultimately, lead to the successful Norman invasion of England.
6. Illustration of the basic myth of the Lindworm.
The heroine is helping Prince Worm to shed 1 of its many skins...
Then, it'll be her turn.
See below.
7. Nordic 'Amazons'?
Not quite.
Female warriors have always been fewer than their male counterparts.
But, the idea of Nordic shield maidens has been known for ages.
Yet, few modern archaeologists truly believed in such tales.
Well, now there's proof that they did exist.
Now, I'm waiting for them to find the burial site of that badass, Lagertha.
She was so fierce in battle, that even her enemies were amazed of her fighting prowess!
1914: Output.
Intro: Ragnar's¹ earlier poem (also from 1914) connects thematically to "The Teuton's² Battle-Song." Both works speak about the 'glories' of war.
In "Teuton's Battle-Song," HPL sees Christianity as a foreign influence that's too weak to follow during war.
Howard tells English-Americans to remember their now muted warrior prowess - a gift from their ancestral roots.
Because it's a special quality that will be useful in the growing War to End All Wars...
Opening Quote: Since I've already posted on "Death-Song" earlier (up- dating needed meanings), I thought readers might be interested in reading some of Lovecraft's more primal version.
The quote HPL used is from the end of "Ragnar's Death- Song."
"We hewed with the brand!! My life is well-nigh over."
"Sharp is the pang, That serpents give. Goinn, the Snake,³ Nests deep in my heart."
"No more will my children rest; Great wrath will be theirs⁴, At the undoing of their sire."
"We hewed with the brand!! Full gladly do I go!"
"With the Valkyrjar,⁵ Fresh from Odin's hall!"
"High seated among heroes, Shall I quaff the yellow mead.⁶ The Aesir welcome me."
"Laughing gladly do I die."
Notes:
1. This is Lovecraft's translation of a Latin version from the Nordic original "Ragnarr Lothbrok's Death-Song."
2. Teutons were folk hailing from ancient Jutland (now Denmark).
They migrated south to Gaul (France) - attacking the Roman Republic in 105 BC. But, were defeated in 101 BC.
Martyrdom: The Roman terms of surrender were that 300 married Teutonic women would become sex slaves!
These matrons begged to minister the temples of Ceres & Venus instead.
But, their request was denied.
So, these women killed their children & strangled each other!!
This is now known as "Teutonic Fury."
3. I firmly believe that "Goinn, the Snake, is the name of the Lindworm⁷ that Ragnar slew to earn his name - &, the hand of his bride!!
But, I've yet to find any info on this dragon...
4. A father's wrathful kids - no kidding!!
Ragnar's sons were among the Danish war bands which attacked England.
They conquered a large portion of the eastern & northern countryside.
Which became known as the Danelaw.
5. Valkyrjar seems to be a misspelling of Valkyrjur, the modern "Valkyrie."
6. Yellow or golden mead describes a honey based Nordic wine.
In myth, when honey was mixed with Kvasir's blood, it was called the Mead of Poetry.
The reddish linden berry was crushed & the resulting liquid was mixed with fermented honey to celebrate the above 'event.'
This magical drink was supposed to convey Kvasir's knowledge & wisdom upon the drinker!
Okay...
7. The Lindworm is a folktale that spread from India to Scandinavia!
Indians have been trading with Europeans since, at least Alexander the Great's time.
Earlier, Indians traded with Sumeria in the Middle East.
The basic story plot is of a cursed queen who gives birth to a prince - in snake form!
He's married off to a smart gal. One who breaks his curse - by stripping!!
For every piece of clothing that she takes off, he sheds 1 of his snake skins completely...
After 7 such sheddings, the curse is finally broken!
(Sounds like the Arabian Dance of the 7 Veils!!)
Lind might mean "soft & flexible."
And worm is Norse for "a wingless, limbless man-eating dragon!"
Next: Part 2 - The Work.
