Shavuot ketubah, Galicia, 1914

A Ketubah is a traditional Jewish marriage contract and is supposed to outline the responsibilities of the groom in relation to the bride. An unusual custom was the making of a Ketubah, or marriage contract, for Shavuot, recording the contract between God and the Jews as a marriage. This custom was mostly practiced in North Africa and in Italy. To find an Ashkenazi example is very rare. Some of the text is written in an almost semi-circular form, a convention found in Hebrew manuscripts from the area of Galicia and Ukraine, generally practiced by Hasidic writers and scribes.

"The doctor should be asexual and aromantic" not in a 'the doctor should never be in a relationship' way but in a 'the doctor's feelings for rose go so far beyond the traditional human structures for relationships that they cannot begin to be defined in those terms' way

Astarion's Ascension - Traditional art (pencils, gold acrylic, PS edit). Sketch here.

You had demons to kill within you screaming With a gun loaded with guilt You opened their eyes [...] Bleed well, the soul you're about to sell For passion deranged [...] Bleed well, the heart you're about to fail For reasons insane Kill and tell Baby, we're bleeding well In hell [...] I heard you weeping And on those words, a church was built To keep the pain in

Jewish bride and her mother in Djerba, Tunisia, 1983

The Tunisian Jewish bride was hennaed first by her mother-in-law, and then the following day again by a professional artist. The bride would sleep with the henna and strings overnight. In the morning, the women come to the bride’s house to check if the henna came out nicely; if it is good, they kiss her fingers and praise her beauty. If the colour is not strong enough, then they henna her again; all in all, the bride is hennaed about four or five times over the course of a week. The Jews of Djerba continued this tradition well into the 20th century.

The Ritual

Kirk and Spock end up in ancient Vulcan, long before Surak teachings, an important ancestral ritual is about to happen and the performer has become ill. Not that surprisingly Spock is well-versed in the long forgotten dance and he's chosen to perform by the very surprised eyes of Jim.

Our (soon to be Arwell's) newest recruit, a faun named Ibter, needs to be converted away from all that nature-loving, "save the planet" nonsense and learn to believe in our superior ways of ocean-polluting, robot-building badassery.

Our path MUST be the right path if Kwahu can pull off a ✨masterful✨ conversion with a social skill of, like... two, I think? Maybe three?

Oh, dear... Alistair is highly vulnerable to solar flares, so he's going to endure a Victorian-lady-style fainting spell until this passes. It's alright. He'll be okay.

Mechi, babe, I'm so glad you're in a good mood, but we don't even have a kitchen in this colony. Also, the android could use a hand?? Read the room.

I get that you're a reclusive asshole, but c'mon, man, you like Alistair.
