How are you? I hope you’re doing well ❤️

What is your favorite memory at this immediate moment?

I'm doing great, thank you anon!

My favorite memory is probably from my middle school years. Living in Germany we went to the Christmas market in Cologne to celebrate my dad coming home from his deployment to Qatar. The Cologne Cathedral was the highlight of the trip for me, but the food, souvenirs, and activities around the market were amazing as well.

Also, the trip there and back to the Kaiserslautern area (community near our airbase) is the only time I've been on a train aside from a few DC metro trips.

Details from Wells Cathedral, England

Wells is possibly the most breathtaking cathedral I’ve explored so far with its grand cloisters, intricate designs, and the light and airy rooms around every twist and turn

kristy mcneill is a genuis for orchestrating that b*rst**l umich video and getting it to drop at basically the perfect time. witness:

(via frank serevalli at daily faceoff, not linking bc the article is infuriatingly misogynistic)

naur is going big game hunting, and that video shores up michigan’s biggest recruiting weakness by lavishing attention on the (palatial) shared athletic facilities. so what if yost doesn’t have the training/recovery facilities that hockey arenas at other schools do? you can still run on an aqua treadmill and watch the nfl in the hot tub with nine of your bros just across the way.

naur, looking directly into the camera and reminding players that at a certain point in their career the CHL’s not even a serious option. it’s the NCAA, or maybe riding the bus in the AHL. oh, and don’t forget we have football at the big house. god, kristy, you’re a genius.

note also that the recruiting targets have been significantly upgraded. previous chl defectors are not being invited back to the fold:

sorry kiddo, find another school. naur’s giving your spot to gavin mckenna.

Catholicism and Protestantism have more or less the same institutional issues and cause more or less the same kinds of traumas. But the difference is that Catholicism has infinitely better presentation.

I just bought smth from a small business that had three altars out: Persephone, Poseidon, and Pan. And these were like HUGE, highly decorated altars. Several foot tall statues, incense, candles, food and money offerings, framed copies of prayers, so many flowers; absolutely gorgeous. I felt like I was in a cathedral.

I’ve been stealth until literally last week when I told my sister (but she’s still the only one who knows) and my altar rn is literally a single mason jar. It doesn’t look like an altar at all. Seeing such intense and public displays of love and devotion for the shop owner’s deities really moved me. I wish I could be as public and confident as that.

Hi besties I’m in Italy for a choir tour so I have not had much time to write but here’s a snippet from the flight over 💕

~~~~~~

They stared at each other for a moment, and Marcia felt that same charged energy running through her again, almost electric. Anetra broke her gaze first, moving closer until they were practically nose to nose. “Here, I’ll hold it for you, do all the work. Just… breathe in when I tell you. A small breath.” She raised an eyebrow and Marcia gave a nod and a two-fingered salute.

“Got it. Small breath in, hold it, blow it out. How hard can it be? It’s not rocket science,” Marcia chirped out, trying to keep an air of false bravado. She needed to keep up a visage of confidence, fake it until she made it.

Anetra nodded in agreement. “Not rocket science,” she echoed, one hand carefully coming to rest on Marcia’s chin to turn her head slightly before placing the smooth glass against her lips. “Purse your lips over the small hole — yeah, just like that. Perfect. You’re doing great,” her murmured praises continued and Marcia could feel her cheeks burning and something warm and fuzzy settling deep in her chest. She wanted to do well, to get Anetra to keep complimenting her, to keep speaking to her in that soft sacred tone that made her feel like the only other person in the world.

MARIE LAURE AND WERNER’s WEDDING HC GO!

I LOVE THESEEEE🐚💖💕🌊💖💕💓💞

they don’t like big big weddings so they do this very small celebration in the st vincent cathedral (bc ofc they live in saint malo) with almost anyone, but ofc there’s jutta and albert (they still aren’t together and marie is teasing her that the next ones are her and albert and jutta is denying it), Frederick (BECAUSE IN MY MIND HE IS OKAY AND NICE) that is just there super cute as werner’s very clumsy groomsmen, and the three of them (albert, jutta and frederick) are trying to be PERFECT and are doing every humanly possible thing to let marie and werner have their moment but people just keep entering bc it is not a private event (anyways marie and werner love it, they think it gives their wedding a very special something). and marie is wearing a very simple white dress (she isn’t sure if it’s a wedding dress or not) and this veil she and jutta and albert made two days before the wedding, and werner is wearing this super simple navy blue suit and her bouquet has little blue flowers like forget-me-nots, hydrangeas, birdbills and lavender, and white accents flowers like tuberoses and primroses, and werner and marie wear both lilies of the nile in their outfits (werner on his jacket and marie on her hair), AND THEY ARE JUST GIGGLE THE WHOLE CEREMONY!!! they can’t keep quiet for the life of god. everytime the priest speaks they giggle or blush or some silly shit, and they’re definitely the couple that forgets they can’t kiss before the priest says so and when marie walks down the small ass aisle with frederick, they both go for a kiss and the priest reprimands both of them 💀

they exchange this little golden bands werner spends MONTHS saving for, and they all later go eat together in a little small restaurant by the sea where they eat oysters and remember good times together (in my head after the war they all meet and because they’re all the same age they become best friends and do everything together). marie’s sad (obviously) nobody saw her getting married but her friends are trying to make her as happy as they physically can because they love her TONS, and marie and werner are just lovebirds with each other, they don’t separate from the other the ENTIRE TIME and yk they are just glad they are married.

also frederick catches the bouquet and he and jutta pretend they are gonna married to piss off Albert (it works)
