I am but earth and ash -- two documentaries

The “Astonishment of Sisoes” (*) At the recommendation of my spiritual father, I watched two exceptional documentaries on monastic life: Athos – Mount Athos Monks’ Republic Documentary and The Good Struggle: Life In A Secluded Orthodox Monastery. The first documentary is exceptional partly because for the first time, a filmmaker was given access to all forms of monastic life on the holy mountain…

cunning boyfriend

boyfriend!mean!billy loomis x fem!reader

It's your boyfriend's birthday today and you decided to wear your new set of underwear because you know how much he loves it. all pink and soft, just like you.

warnin: it's just a mini mini story, no smut

author notes: I know I'm very late for billy's birthday but still.. this is the only thing that came to mind

it was a normal autumn day, or rather it was your favorite boyfriend billy loomis's birthday. you were in your room, the window was open and you were looking at yourself in the mirror checking out your new underwear.

the pink lace lingerie fits your figure perfectly, you look in the mirror and straighten your hair that fell on your face.

thank God there was no one in your house, your parents went on a date and you in turn had a good time with your boyfriend. but, you had no idea that that was not all..

you heard a whistle and immediately turned to the window to see your boyfriend billy

he looked at you with a smug grin on his face, and without any embarrassment examined your body and underwear. you covered your chest with your hands out of embarrassment, and turned away from billy

"wow, did you dress up like that for me?" - billy said with a smug grin and easily climbed into your window and began to take slow steps towards you. he was like a predator walking towards his prey.

you didn't say anything and were silent out of embarrassment, you felt awkward

"billy, you're a pervert.. why couldn't you knock on the window or give a sign that y-" billy interrupted you, kissing you passionately on the lips. his hands removed yours from your chest, one hand lay on your chest and the other began to squeeze your buttock.

you opened your eyes but still started to kiss him back. you were embarrassed by your boyfriend's hands on your body but you did nothing to remove them.

"what did you say, baby?" - billy easily picked you up and threw you on the bed.

billy loomis' birthday just got even better as his girlfriend brightened it up with a great night of love and her nighttime look ♡

I just looked at the skete children on the internet.. they are so beautiful, oh my god..😫 they are both 23 🤯

Hej lille tumblr🤍

Undskyld. Jeg er så ked af hvordan jeg lod alting hænge som et ekko af altomsluttende håbløshed. Det var en afsked. Det er uhyggeligt.

Jeg tog et kæmpe kæmpe dyk. Men jeg er her. Og jeg får hjælp<3

Jeg ryster mens jeg skriver dette, for jeg føler mig meget ramt af alvoren i det er sket og hvordan forskrækkelsen slår rødder langt dybere end man kan se når man er deprimeret. Det har jo tydeligvis ikke kun ramt mig og mine nærmeste.

Kæmpe undskyld. Mine ord og mit efterfølgende fravær herpå, har været kilde til en type bekymring og afmagt som ingen fortjener at sidde med. Uvisheden.

Jeg er på benene og ligner ikke én der har haft det så skidt. Det er uhyggeligt hvor nemt det er at “skubbe væk” og derfor også skræmmende hvor usynligt det kan blive. Ingen ser at man er et ømt menneske, bag en kæmpe vinterjakke. I dag handlede jeg i føtex. I forgårs fik jeg skældud af en mand der ikke synes hund måtte tisse på gaden. Livet er meget surrealistisk at være i, når man har været tæt på at vælge det helt fra. Og jeg kan være skræmt over at lige en der er okay… som om det der skete ikke var alvorligt. Men alvoren runger stadig. Forskellen er bare, at “i live” er en ret okay måde at have det på.

Lige nu er jeg så lettet over at jeg stadig er her. Jeg har håb.

Tak for jer<3 Jeg føler mig meget passet på. Græder.

Jeg håber i kan tilgive mig for den afmagt og forskrækkelse jeg har været skyld i. Og selv hvis det ikke kan lade sig gøre, kan jeg sagtens forstå det.

Undskyld og kram fra mig

another script/language post to go along with my samaritan and aramaic ones. this time, about the coptic language and script:

the coptic alphabet is mostly used to write the coptic language, the most recent development of the egyptian language (yes, the one that hieroglyphs were used to write). coptic along with previous iterations of the language belong to the egyptian branch of the afroasiatic family, of which they're the only members. once commonly spoken, coptic is mostly used as a liturgical language by coptic churches today, though copts have started revival movements. the church uses the bohairic dialect of coptic specifically, which has differences in pronunciation and grammar. modern revitalization efforts are also based in this dialect.

coptic has had a notable impact on general arabic and hebrew; for example, timsah - crocodile in arabic and one of the words for crocodile in hebrew (since palestine used to have crocodiles) - comes from coptic "emsah". it's also had a smaller impact on european languages via greek ("barge" and "skete" come from coptic). its biggest impact on a language is its significant impact on egyptian arabic.

the coptic script we have today developed between the 6th century bce and 2nd century ce, when greek was used to transcribe demotic texts. the script is a variation of the greek alphabet with all of its characteristic attributes (alphabet, written left-to-right, contains upper and lower case letters) with influences from demotic (written right-to-left, no cases) which were used to transcribe sounds/letters that aren't in greek (like Ϩ/ϩ, derived from demotic (which is not inscribed in unicode), which is "h"; greek has an "h" sound included in some letters but not just one letter for "h"). you can use coptic to write greek without any new letters to account for sounds, but lower-case coptic letters are just smaller versions of the upper-case ones with no modifications, so coptic and greek speakers may struggle to read the other's alphabet.

like greek, coptic also has its own numerals made from letters. (ⲁ = 1, ⲃ = 2, ⲓ = 10, ⲣ = 100, etc). also like greek, a line is drawn above them to distinguish them from the regular text. a formatted version of this numeral system influenced by arabic was used by egyptians of all religions along with the standard arabic one (and the hebrew one by jews) for a long time.

sample text (article 1 of the universal declaration of human rights in bohairic coptic):

Ⲉ̀ⲫ̀ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲥⲉⲙⲓⲥⲓ ⲣⲉⲙϩⲉⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲉⲧϣⲱϣ ⲉ̀ ⲁⲝⲓⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ. Ⲛ̀ⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲉⲣϩ̀ⲙⲟⲧ ⲅⲛⲱⲙⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲥⲩⲛⲏⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙ̀ⲡⲉⲛⲑⲣⲉⲩⲁⲣϣⲏⲧ ⲙ̀ⲙⲉⲧⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲛ̀ⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲙ̀ⲫ̀ⲣⲏϯ ⲛ̀ⲥ̀ⲛⲏⲟⲩ.

transliteration:

Ephouai semisi remheu nem etshōsh e axia nem dikaiosunē. Enthōou se’erehmot gnōmē nem sunēdēsis ouoh empenthreuarshēt em’metrōmi hina enthōou emephrēti enesnēou.

english:

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

a formatted version of coptic script is also sometimes used to write some nubian languages (which are not afroasiatic) like nobiin. the script includes influence from the meroitic script, itself a development of demotic. (one is the letter ⳣ, "w", which comes from this letter.) usage of the coptic script for these languages was more common historically to write old nubian. most nubian languages use arabic or latin scripts today.

the nubian script adapted for nobiin:

sample text (john 11:41 in old nubian):

ⲕⲧ̅ⲕⲁ ⲅⲉⲗⲅⲟ̅ⲥⲛ ⲓ̈ⲏ̅ⲥⲟⲩⲥⲓ ⲛⲁⳡⲁⲛ ⲧⲣⲓⲕⲁ, ⲇⲟⲗⲗⲉ ⲡⲟⲗⲅⲁⲣⲁ ⲡⲉⲥⲥⲛⲁ: ⲡⲁⲡⲟ, ⲥ̅ⲕⲟⲉⲗⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ⲉⲕ̅ⲕⲁ.

transliteration:

Ephouai semisi remheu nem etshōsh e axia nem dikaiosunē. Enthōou se’erehmot gnōmē nem sunēdēsis ouoh empenthreuarshēt em’metrōmi hina enthōou emephrēti enesnēou.
