He sees her, and his heart stops.

Shoyo is, at once, struck at how different she is. She's sitting behind the counter, laptop propped open and fingers rapidly tapping against the keys (writing, he can only imagine, some brilliant, complex argument about a foreign novel he has never even heard of). And the differences are all he can see.

The slopes and lines of her face have, subtly, elongated, aging her, maturing her. The way her shoulders sit, dropped and back, posture neat, make her seem more sure, more commanding than the hunched over, finger-twiddling bundle of nerves that he once knew. The tight, screwed up expression of concentration is lit-up by the blue light of her laptop screen, bright and cool, contrasted with the dim, yellow lighting of the bookshop. And he's awestruck.

Two years, Shoyo has to remind himself, it's just been two years. It's not a lifetime. He knows her, he tells himself. Even if she's changed. It couldn't have been that much. He knows her.

He wonders what differences she'll notice of him. Will she drag her gaze along the new-found broadness of his shoulders? Will she note the changes of his voice, the few inches he has grown, or the way his skin has been deepened by the sun? Will she recognize him as the person she once loved, or will she regard him as a stranger?

Shoyo takes a deep breath, and steps forward, ready to find out.

She doesn't look up at him as he approaches, and his grip on the zinnias in his sweaty palm tightens. The closer he gets to her, the more his mind empties, the more his mouth dries.

The smell of old, dusty books makes Shoyo sniffle, he can't stop it. Her head shoots up at the sound, fingers freezing over the keys of her laptop, and wide, startled eyes settling over Hinata Shoyo, who stands a just behind the counter, bouquet of flowers, just for her, in his hands. He swallows a lump in his throat. "Hey."

Hey. He wants to slam his head against the wall.

It seems to take her a second to realize that it's him. He can tell the moment she does, though, because those wide, startled eyes narrow, and her lip furls in disgust. It's enough to make Shoyo take a step back. "Oh, you gotta be fucking kidding me."

Some sort of animalistic instinct inside of him screams that he is in danger. His body knows something is wrong, his gut tumbles and the amount of sweat his palms produce doubles. But every conscious thought he has tells him to keep going, don't stop, don't let her go. He raises the zinnias to her. "I, erm, I got you these."

She blinks, staring directly into Shoyo's eyes. "I don't want them."

Shoyo wets his lips and shifts his weight between his feet, flowers dropping back down to his side. It's a little forceful, his movements mechanic. It knocks a petal or two to the ground. "Okay, well, then, maybe, we can talk? Maybe after you're done with work?"

Her expression is so unfamiliar to him. Features that he knows, but that are still so different to him, twisted up in a hated that he never, not once has seen on her. A kind that he wouldn't ever have imagined would be fixed at him. "Why would I want to talk to you?"

He remembers how little she spoke the night before he left. He remembers how intensely she protested his departure, before resigning to acceptance a few weeks before his flight. Shoyo can see it clearly, in retrospect. Her expression back then had seeds of the one she wears now. It started then, and has since grown. He was just too stupid to notice it.

She hates him. She really, really hates him.

"I just," he starts. "I just thought that, I dunno, I mean-"

"Don't come back here," she cuts him off, and returns her gaze back to her laptop. "There's nothing I have to say to you, and nothing I want to hear from you."

His hands are shaking. There's a numb sort of disbelief that spreads over him. Shoyo nods, eyes falling to the ground, and he places the zinnias on the counter before he turns on his heel, and walks right back out the door.

extras!

yachi showed up and hugged yn in the back room for about ten minutes while she cried before she went back up to the counter and unlocked the door

and yachi stayed there for the whole rest of her shift; she made her put on a different song tho

the man in historical nonfiction was there for an hour and twenty-seven minutes (yn timed it) just browsing and looking through books (just like me fr)

hinata ran back to his apartment with all of his unpacked things and did an entire reevaluation of their entire relationship together and the past two years

🧵 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐣𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐦.

Thread: Before we dive in, let’s address a critical issue: There are some people around the world who perceive Jerusalem as an Arab area, including the ICJ, with some even advocating for it to be handed over to the Palestinians as the capital of their prospective terror state. This view overlooks the profound and unbroken Jewish connection to Jerusalem. Let’s review how Jerusalem is intrinsically Jewish and how its history has been hijacked and rewritten.

1/ 🌟 Jerusalem: The Eternal Capital of the Jewish People 🌟

Jerusalem has been the heart and soul of the Jewish people for over 3,500 years. Despite countless challenges and adversities, the Jewish presence in Jerusalem has remained unbroken, underscoring a deep-rooted and unwavering connection to this sacred city. From the days of Joshua and King David to the modern era, Jerusalem has been a constant in Jewish life, culture, and religion, symbolizing the enduring spirit and resilience of the Jewish people.

2/ 🕰️ Ancient Beginnings 🕰️

The history of Jews in Jerusalem dates back to ancient times, even before King David. Joshua, the biblical leader who succeeded Moses, conquered the land of Israel, including Jerusalem, around the 13th century BCE. This marked the beginning of a significant Jewish presence in the city. Later, King David established Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish nation around 1000 BCE. This monumental decision solidified Jerusalem’s status as not just a political center but also a spiritual and cultural heart for Jews. His son, King Solomon, built the First Temple, making Jerusalem the focal point of Jewish worship and pilgrimage. The Temple served as the epicenter of Jewish religious life, drawing Jews from all corners of the land to partake in rituals and festivals, thus embedding Jerusalem deeply in Jewish identity.

3/ 📜 Exile and Return 📜

Even after the destruction of the First Temple by the Babylonians in 586 BCE, the Jewish connection to Jerusalem did not wane. Jews returned to rebuild and renew their bond with the city, demonstrating their resilience and unyielding faith. The completion of the Second Temple in 516 BCE was a significant event, symbolizing a new era of Jewish religious and communal life. Despite subsequent invasions and occupations, the Jewish people continuously sought to restore and maintain their presence in Jerusalem, highlighting their enduring attachment to the city.

4/ 🏛️ Roman Destruction and Diaspora 🏛️

The Roman destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE marked a profound moment of loss for the Jewish people, yet their connection to Jerusalem endured. Even as Jews were scattered across the globe in the ensuing diaspora, Jerusalem remained at the core of Jewish religious life and longing. Daily prayers, rituals, and cultural practices consistently oriented towards Jerusalem, preserving its significance in Jewish consciousness. Throughout centuries of dispersion, Jews always yearned for their return to Jerusalem, keeping the city’s memory alive in their hearts and minds.

5/ 🌍 Medieval and Ottoman Eras🌍

Throughout the Middle Ages and the Ottoman rule, Jewish communities in Jerusalem faced periods of hardship and revival. Despite various conquerors and shifting political landscapes, Jews never abandoned their spiritual and historical ties to the city. During the Ottoman era, from 1517 to 1917, Jewish life in Jerusalem experienced significant changes. The Ottomans, recognizing the historical Jewish connection to the land, allowed Jewish refugees from Spain and other regions to settle in the city. This period saw a revival of Jewish communal life, with the establishment of new synagogues, schools, and community institutions, further cementing the continuous Jewish presence in Jerusalem.

6/ ✡️ The Jewish Quarter ✡️

The Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem has been a vibrant center of Jewish life for centuries, a microcosm of the broader Jewish experience in the city. Its synagogues, schools, and homes are living monuments to the continuous Jewish presence and the community’s resilience in the face of adversity. Over the centuries, despite periods of destruction and renewal, the Jewish Quarter has remained a focal point of Jewish cultural and religious life, embodying the steadfast connection of Jews to their ancient capital.

7/ 🚫 Temple Mount Restrictions 🚫

Today, Jews face restrictions on visiting the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism. Control by Muslim authorities has prevented Jews from freely accessing the area, highlighting ongoing tensions and challenges. The Temple Mount, where the First and Second Temples once stood, remains a profoundly significant site for Jews. However, the complex political and religious dynamics have resulted in limitations on Jewish worship and presence, reflecting broader issues of religious freedom and historical rights.

8/ 🕌 Historical Hijacking 🕌

The Temple Mount, where the First and Second Temples once stood, has been at the center of a significant historical hijacking. Today, many around the world view it primarily as a Muslim site, overshadowing its profound Jewish significance. Despite its deep roots in Jewish history, the site has been rebranded, with many now referring to it exclusively by its Islamic name, Al-Haram Al-Sharif. The reality is that Jerusalem holds a marginal place in Islamic tradition compared to its central role in Judaism. The Quran does not mention Jerusalem, and its association with Islam primarily stems from later historical developments. This rebranding diminishes the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount, a place where Jews have prayed and yearned for thousands of years. The ongoing restrictions on Jewish access and worship at this sacred site underscore the broader struggle for recognition of Jerusalem’s true historical and religious narrative.

9/ 📜 Jewish Presence Through the Ages 📜

Over the last 1,800 years, Jews have consistently lived in Jerusalem and throughout Israel, even under various foreign rulers. For example, in the 9th century, Jewish scholar Saadia Gaon wrote extensively about Jewish life in Jerusalem. In the 11th century, Spanish-Jewish traveler Benjamin of Tudela documented thriving Jewish communities in the city. By the 16th century, under Ottoman rule, Jerusalem saw a revival of Jewish life with the arrival of Jewish refugees from Spain. The 19th century witnessed the establishment of new Jewish neighborhoods outside the Old City walls, symbolizing the growth and resilience of the Jewish population. These examples illustrate that, despite hardships and displacements, Jews have maintained a continuous presence in Jerusalem, contributing to its cultural and religious landscape.

10/ 🕊️ Jerusalem Today 🕊️

Today, Jerusalem stands as a thriving city, embodying the spirit and resilience of the Jewish people. Despite ongoing challenges and political complexities, the eternal bond between Jews and Jerusalem remains unbreakable, reflecting millennia of history, faith, and determination. Jerusalem continues to be a center of Jewish religious, cultural, and political life, symbolizing the unyielding connection of the Jewish people to their ancient capital. The city’s vibrant life and continuous development are testaments to the enduring spirit of the Jewish community and their unwavering commitment to Jerusalem.

📖 Conclusion 📖

Jerusalem is not just a city; it is the heart of Jewish identity and heritage. For 3,500 years, Jews have lived, prayed, and thrived in Jerusalem. Despite numerous challenges and adversities, their connection remains steadfast, a testament to the enduring spirit of the Jewish people. The history of Jerusalem is a story of resilience, faith, and an unbreakable bond that has withstood the test of time. Today, as we honor this profound connection, we also look towards a future where Jerusalem continues to be a symbol of hope, unity, and peace for all who hold it dear.

Everything I collected that has information about Godwyn in the DLC has strengthened my love for him even more than ever.

Spoilers for SOTE under the cut.

I truly didn't expect to learn ANYTHING new about Godwyn in this DLC. Nothing. I wanted new stuff about him, absolutely. Godwyn actually being revived and becoming a boss or a npc to talk too would be amazing. I knew it was a stretch though, as his story appeared to be finished in the base game.

So when I learned there were not only three dungeons that contained lore about him, Two of them dedicated to him, I was pleasantly surprised. A new boss that we fight twice to receive their special weapons and armor relating to Godwyn, the Ancient Dragon Cult, and Duskborn. Then a talisman that speaks further about Godwyn and his loyal inner circle. While it's not groundbreaking, It was more than I ever expected.

As I think about his character now, and compare it to how Miquella was done wrong in this DLC (I am so sorry for your loss, Miquella fans), it makes me so much more grateful for these little pieces of lore about Godwyn.

While they didn't reveal shocking new light or revelations, they confirmed what we already believed about him.

That he was a good man, a good brother, a good friend, and a diplomat.

He was so beloved that his knights - his personal guards, people in his inner circle, were very faithful to him. They showed nothing but loyalty, because that's what he deserved. The fact that these personal guards were so loyal, they "switched sides" after Godwyn's death and aided in the quest to not only revive Godwyn with a replacement cadaver surrogate, but see the age of Duskborn come into fruition should tell you how much people loved him.

I'm so thankful that the new pieces of lore that were given only solidified what a great man he was. Even if we get a sequel to Elden Ring and we see no more new pieces of lore about Godwyn, characters, or boss fights related to him, I'm still happy with what we have.

Items and their descriptions encase if you're curious:

Death Knight Helm: "Golden helm of the death knights, whose own death masks served as the visards of their armor.

Enhances skills and incantations of the capital's ancient dragon cult.

The decayed golden wheel that adorns it represents their unbroken loyalty to Godwyn, he who became Prince of Death." Death Knight set (chest, arms, legs): "These knights, once Godwyn's personal guard, quested to find their transfigured master's cadaver surrogate - for the coming age of the Duskborn." Death Knight Twin Axes & Longshaft Axe: "The Knight, once the personal guard of Godwyn, was also the protector of The Prince of Death's cadaver surrogate."

Crimson Amber Medallion +3: "The Erdtree's old sap becomes amber, treasured as the most precious of jewels in the age of Godfrey, the First Elden Lord.

These Medallions, of the largest variety, were conferred to Godwyn's inner circle of distinguished Golden knights."

Ancient Dragon Knight's Cookbook: "A record of crafting techniques of the ancient dragon knight who followed Godwyn's Golden Knights into the realm of shadow."

Young Royals Season 3 Endgame: Team Abdication or Monarchy?

Team Monarchy.

I know this might seem surprising given how often I show my contempt for the upper classes here on Tumblr, and how fucked up I think they are. I also fully understand and agree that having an inherited government office is fundamentally incompatible with a modern, liberal, progressive, democracy. I know all the arguments.

But...

Sweden has been a kingdom for over a thousand years. On June 6th this year, Sweden celebrates five hundred years of unbroken sovereignty when we finally left the Kalmar Union and elected Gustav Vasa as king in 1523. The current royal family, even though they're patrilinear descendants of an imported French rando, can trace back their heritage to Gustav Vasa, and all the way back to the first kings.

They are a piece of living history, connecting Sweden today to Sweden through the ages, and there's value in that. If you want the head of state of your country to have some kind of symbolic value, there's no better choice. If Sweden were to change to a republic, no-one would care about the office of the President, it would go to some boring politician who got the job as thanks for a long and faithful service. Or, worst case, it would go to some populist nutjob.

So since we have them, since they're already there, let's keep them. They're better than the alternatives, and they are a unique quirky thing that sets Sweden apart from most other nations. They're entertaining, and they can be a force for good, or at least some kind of national unity.

But if they want to stay being royals, they need to move with the times, and given the YR universe, an openly queer monarch would be an absolutely fantastic way of showing that even they are capable of change. The question of succession can be figured out, it's all make-believe blood magic anyway. Way crazier shit has happened throughout history.

So long live King Wilhelm, and his husband, Prince Simon.

ORV ask game !

(3), (7) and (14) ?

already answered 14!

3. do you have a favourite quote?

"You are this universe's most powerless existance, aren't you"

ch 515

Yoo Joonghyuk slowly opened his mouth. "I want to die." It was a clear voice but there was a voice only clear to me. 「 I want to live. 」

ch 297

⸢If this story can really save you…⸥ If you regained just a little of your memories and remember us just one more time… …Then I’ll keep writing the epilogue for you until the end of the time, for eternity.

ch 551

AND OBVIOUSLY many many more but these are ones i remember constantly.... for many many reasons. man even remembering them kind of brought tears to my eyes a bit

7. conversely, whats a headcanon that youre just pulling out of your ass but you love anyway?

EVERYONE KNOWS ITS ZWEIHANDER UNBROKEN FAITH i will take that thing to my grave i think kim dokja should have a huge very unpractical sword i mean its supposedly a ceremonial sword in the end so it doenst need to be practical does it. Im just saying it would be cool and funny so it should be real. We have enough normal boring shortswords, claymores, broadswords, rapiers and longswords in all stories so i think kim dokja should get the unpractical option.

I also like to think that han sooyoung and yoo joonghyuk share many small ticks because creator and creation can never be too different but they keep fighting over who had it first because this is how they bond

[wanderingnork]

Hi! Loved the lore dump yesterday and it got me really curious:

Githyanki worship Vlaakith, right? But do the githzerai have any religion (I'm not entirely sure how faith features into the monk class in D&D)? And do you know anything more about that long-dead goddess whom they used to worship?

What did the illithids use the githyanki for exactly? Just food? Manual labor? As soldiers?

Also, the Penumbran's "alien sheep" made me wonder what kind of livestock (if any) the gith keep nowadays and if you know whether they might also keep pets?

Which THEN got me wondering whether the gith are into music, performative arts, and poetry aside from the art you've described in that lovely one shot with the artist and the solider on AO3? /very long ask over And thank you so much for sharing all this lore with the rest of us! I'm really enjoying learning from your blog.

ALL RIGHT LET'S GO I HAVE SOURCES >:3

Starting off with worship: Back in the 2nd Edition D&D Monstrous Manual, Zerthimon is portrayed as a prophet-like figure, who died fighting Gith but will eventually return to lead the githzerai into a paradise. In Dragon magazine #390, which is a 4th edition publication, there's a sect of githzerai who carved their residence out of the petrified body of a dead god and live by its religious tenets. But the closest the githzerai have to an active deity in 5th Edition sources is their king, Zaerith Menyar-Ag Gith. Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes depicts him as a transcendent monk with incredible psionic powers, who looks like he's dead and just exists in a coffin projecting his thoughts.

What did the illithids use the githyanki for? All of the above. In the Mind Flayer Trilogy, we see them used as gardeners, food, manual labor, and eventually psionic supersoldiers (the illithids' final downfall). In all accounts, Gith was a bodyguard and soldier. According to the Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon from Planescape: Torment, he worked in fields where bodies of gith used for food were turned to fertilizer for illithid crops.

Livestock and pets: The githyanki have an entire caste devoted to farming, the g'lathk (which has two apostrophes in earlier editions). The most detailed description of the g'lathk I've found is the web supplement for Dungeon #100 (Lich-Queen's Beloved), which goes in-depth on Tu'narath's farming district. To quote the article: "everything from rothé to chained humanoid captives (goblins, kobolds, gnomes, dwarves, halflings, elves, humans, bariaurs, and other “cattle”)." More recent editions have seriously downplayed or eliminated the idea of the githyanki keeping slaves this way (4th Edition's "Secrets of the Astral Sea" goes as far as saying that githyanki abhor slavery as hypocrisy when they themselves were slaves), but yeah. That's the livestock situation.

AS FOR PETS, that's MUCH more fun. Githyanki are frequently accompanied by spectral hounds, or ride interesting mounts like nightmares or the hybrids of dinosaurs and red dragons. However, in Dragon magazine #117, there's the wonderful article "Hounds of Space and Darkness." Here we learn about the dogs specially bred by the githyanki and githzerai. The githyanki breed guard dogs called kaoulgrim which are essentially super aggressive Russian bear-hunting dogs, huge and fluffy. The githzerai breed the szarkel, which are Extremely Extremely Cursed borzoi that have some limited shapechanging ability.

Finally, art: The githyanki have always been portrayed as a highly artistic group. In their earliest AD&D incarnations, they wear a great deal of jewelry and beautiful armor. By 2nd Edition, especially in the Planescape books, we see the craftsmen (mlar or m'lar) popping up. Planescape's Faction War supplement discusses beautiful and magical jewelry being sold in the city of Sigil. A Guide to the Astral Plane (also 2E) presents glorious artwork by Tony diTerlizzi of githyanki arms and armor and clothes. The Black Spine adventure for the 2nd Edition Dark Sun campaign setting offers the chance to visit a githyanki palace and includes a palace with whole wings devoted to music and art. In the 3rd Edition Tome of Battle, we get the entire story of a famous githyanki smith who made a legendary and (from the accompanying art) beautiful sword. The same Dungeon web supplement above details the mlar district of Tu'narath, where artists live in studios to create spectacular and often magical works of art.

In 5th Edition, going back to Mordenkainen, this takes a sour turn. That book portrays the githyanki as a society of bored, semi-immortal dilettantes, who get halfway through works of art or other creative projects before abandoning them for something new. I don't particularly like that, considering just how much has gone before about the githyanki being an artistic society.

I suspect that Larian agrees with me. In a banter between Gale and Lae'zel, she informs him that the githyanki paint frescoes, write symphonies, and make wine. Given how much Larian has already diverged from mainline D&D githyanki lore in their game, I think that it's a safe bet that the githyanki of Baldur's Gate 3 are more in line with the previous editions of D&D in terms of art.

cherik playlist

(breakdown below) 1. love grows (where my rosemary goes) - edison lighthouse 2. chateau lobby #4 (in c for two virgins) - father john misty 3. golden brown - the stranglers 4. each coming night - iron & wine 5. blackbird - the beatles 6. achilles come down - gang of youths 7. 3. stock - annenmaykantereit 8. simulation swarm - big thief 9. your ex-lover is dead - stars

this playlist follows first class until days of future past (before the timeline changes with logan's interference). mostly from erik's perspective.

1. love grows (where my rosemary goes) - edison lighthouse

and people say she's crazy and her life's a mystery

this is charles and erik meeting, erik not quite sure what to make of this strange man but nevertheless captivated.

2. chateau lobby #4 (in c for two virgins) - father john misty

dating for 20 years just feels pretty civilian

literally what they end up doing in canon.

people are boring but you're something else completely damn, let's take our chances

erik finding all humans insufferable outside of charles.

3. golden brown - the stranglers

golden brown, texture like sun lays me down, with my mind she runs throughout the night

erik's impression of charles- sort of the honeymoon phase pre-cuba beach divorce.

4. each coming night - iron & wine

my lover came to me and we'd lay in rooms unfamiliar but until now

first class roadtrip era.

5. blackbird - the beatles

take these broken wings and learn to fly all your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise

this is charles' perspective of erik, his unyielding faith that he is stronger than he thinks.

6. achilles come down - gang of youths

the self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken remember the pact of our youth where you go, i'm going, so jump and i'm jumping since there is no me without you

charles to erik at the beach divorce. the pact of their youth being to fight for mutantkind.

how the most dangerous thing is to love how you will heal and you'll rise above

this refrain echoes the lyrics from blackbird - themes of rising but in a hopeful, then despairing context.

7. 3. stock - annenmaykantereit

Ich würd' gerne mit dir in 'ner Altbauwohnung wohnen Zwei Zimmer, Küche, Bad und 'n kleiner Balkon (i would like to live with you in an old apartment two rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and small balcony)

erik longing for resolution with charles, quiet domesticity.

Erzähl mir von dir, um mich abzulenken Wenn das traurige Gedanken denken beginnt (tell me about yourself to distract me from the sad thoughts)

8. simulation swarm - big thief

you believe, i believe too that you are the river of light who i love, that i cling to in the belly of the empty night

erik thinking about charles, remembering their old days.

with a warm gush, now i wanna touch like we never could before i'd fly to you tomorrow, i'm not fighting in this war i wanna drop my arms and take your arms and walk you to the shore

charles' imagining of a different ending to their confrontation in cuba. he rejects erik's call to war, but simultaneously wants to be comforted by him.

9. your ex-lover is dead - stars

this scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in

i like to think of the first line being charles, thinking of the bullet wound erik left him with, the second is erik seeing charles, refusing to let him in his mind.

you were what i wanted, i gave what i gave i'm not sorry i met you i'm not sorry it's over i'm not sorry there's nothing to save

dofp pre-timeline shift, this is what erik thought to charles after he was hit fatally.

[lee-hakhyun]

the majority of chapter was a fight scene! i'm not going to describe that. detailing some other things that happened

lee hakhyun is obviously dumbfounded at kdj getting a 10-0 split on the contract. kdj refuses to explain.

jung heewon!! jung heewon!!!!

she goes to deal with the 4th grade dragon, but not before promising that she'll pry a lot out of lee hakhyun later

she's powerful. super powerful. and seeing her fight, she's at a level that matches even 41!yjh... kdj gets distracted watching her, reminiscing about the old days.

the death timer is still there btw. it's at 3 minutes. kdj says he won't die. and does not explain anything. again. no time though, time to hunt a dragon

lhh incites as the kdj who killed the sovereign of eight heads. he has no probability to use sentence reinforcement to get skills, but kdj said to trust him! so he attacks the dragon. the attack was easily blocked. kim dokja???

kdj: give me 20,000 coins

lhh: sure–

lhh: wait how much

kdj:

kdj: [LITERALLY STEALS THE COINS FROM LHH'S PENDING SPONSORSHIPS]

anyway, he spends the coins to lend kdj the 'one who hunted the king of disasters'. stage transformation starts, and the scenery partially changes to veronica's castle. the reproduction is low since he's not fighting the snake, but it's enough

he takes out the the unbroken faith left by han sooyoung. holding the handle of the sword as if praying,

"Help me, Han Sooyoung."

he had come all the way here because of the story she wrote.

borrowing the power of that story once more, he attacks. and he does not doubt that he is kim dokja in that moment.

Fanfic Friday for better or worse

It's another somber Fanfic Friday for those who love the gay pirates but I'm in whatever stage of mourning that "defiance" fits in. Recs at the bottom, and have two paragraphs I badly want to keep in my AU WIP's chapter 2 but might have to get bumped to chapter 3 if this draft gets any longer:

Beyond his appreciation of a good story, Ed doesn't have all that much time for gods. But given his impending journey south, he's started developing a kind of reverence for tradition. It sits in the part of his body designated for things like faith and dogma, which until fairly recently had been pretty hollow. Whatever organ or muscle occupies that space now has got him staring at the sky a lot lately. Not as much as one of those ascetic shamans of legend – people who glared at the sun till their vision burned away or spent nights on their backs in the steppe grass, scrying the stars for divine messages – but certainly more frequently and more thoughtfully than he ever has before.

One clear night last week Ed had even sought out the north star to make a vow to the Weaver Maid as she teased the threads of fate with her clever fingers. He had felt a little silly, until he remembered that it was his grandmother who first told him the Maid’s tale of longing for her beloved herdsman until their annual reunion in the eastern sky. Ed went to bed that night tugging on a thread of his own, long and unbroken, stretching back to whoever it was that told his grandmother the story, and whoever told that person, and whoever before that.

I'm still here, you're still here, and we're still keeping these characters and their story alive, even with our weirdest and least canonical AUs. No emotionally bankrupt executive can take this from us, or from the characters we've come to love.

ps since I think (?) Fanfic Friday is actually supposed to be about making recommendations, can I suggest that if you're feeling tender about all this, you might try some fics to help you find some comfort or catharsis or things to ponder? Or possibly just something that's incredibly, blood-glucose-skyrocketingly sweet?

HOW  WILL  YOU  UNDERSTAND  MY  WORDS ?

कभ�� कभी लोग, बेहतर की तलाश में, बेहतरीन को खो देते है !  सुंदरता सस्ती है ! चरित्र बहुत ही महंगा है ! 

अपनी मंजिल को भुला कर जिया तो क्या जिया !  है दम तो उसे पा कर दिखा !  

लिख दे खून से अपनी कामयाबी की कहानी !   और बोल उस किस्मत को !  है दम तो मिटा कर दिखा ! 

लग चुकी है तलब मंजिल की,  अब खुद को आग में झोंक देंगे !  ठोकरे कहती है की मारा  जाएगा,  हौसला कहता है  कि देख लेंगे !

किसी भी तौर  पर कभी,  नसीब से  सुलह न कर ! लकीर अपनी  खींच कर, तू आसमां पे  जीत लिख !

माना कि  तेरे दीद के  क़ाबिल नहीं हूँ मैं ! फिर भी  तू मेरा  शौक़ देख, मेरा  इंतज़ार देख !

आह्वान INVOCATION शिद्दत से -

I AM WAITING 4 ur True, Pure Vibes, Divine AURA, Amazing Vibrations & Fearless Vibrant Presence at Worli Seaface near Blue Sea Hotel.

दिल ना उम्मीद  तो नहीं  नाकाम ही तो है ! लंबी है ग़म की शाम,  मगर शाम ही तो है !

अपनी मंज़िल पे पहुँचना भी  खड़े रहना भी ! कितना मुश्किल है  बड़े हो के बड़े रहना भी !

HELPING HANDS R BETTER THAN PRAYING LIPS.

मेरे लहजे में  जी हुज़ूर न था !  इससे ज्यादा मेरा कसूर न था !

IDEAS  RULE  THE  WORLD.

साहब यदि आप Minimum 1 CRORE ₹ एक साल का फीस देकर अपने बच्चों को व्यक्तित्व  विकास व चरित्र  निर्मा�� का

प्रशिक्षण दिलाना चाहते है व आपके बच्चे Daily सुबह ब्रह्ममुहूर्त 3 AM एक साल तक 1 HOUR हमारा Class Attend कर सकते

है तो  10000 ₹  देेकर Personality  Development Training की जानकारी  प्राप्त कर सकते हैं !

जिनमें अकेले  चलने का  होंसला होता हैं ! उनके पीछे  एक दिन  काफिला होता हैं ! 

बहुत कठिन होता है REAL EXAMPLE  बनना !

जो समझदार लोग 2074 दिन से daily 15 Hours हमें देख रहें हैं हमें आशा है कि वो एक दिन जरूर समझेंगे ! 

अपने किरदार पर  डाल कर परदा,  हर शख्स कह रहा  जमाना खराब है ! 

उन्हें गुमान कि ये उड़ान कुछ नहीं, हमें यकीन की ये आसमान कुछ नहीं ! 

BE YOUR OWN LIGHT. The World is Changed by your EXAMPLE  NOT BY YOUR OPINION. 

स्व परिवर्तन से  विश्व परिवर्तन !

मित्र YOU ARE observing me from 5 YEARS & 9 MONTHS NOW IT'S RIGHT TIME TO TAKE ACTION AND JOIN WITH US.

EGO NEVER ACCEPT THE TRUTH. 

अगर कोई आपकी कीमत  ना समझे तो निराश  न हो क्योंकि कबाड़ी के  व्यापारी को  हीरे  की  परख नही होती !

Character, Loyalty & Integrity are RARE To Find. 

IF U WANT TO SHINE LIKE SUN.  U MUST BURN LIKE SUN FIRST.

मंज़िलें ख्वाब बनकर रह जाये ! इतना बिस्तर से प्यार मत करना !

World suffers due to Silence of GOOD People like U.

जिसको कमतर  समझते रहे हो ! मिलके देखो कहीं  तुमसे बेहतर न हो !

MORE IS  lost by Indecision than Wrong Decision.

किसी के लिए  कुर्बान होना  कठिन नहीं है !  मुश्किल है ऐसा शख्स  ढूंढना जो उस समर्पण का हकदार हो !

लोहा जितना तपता है, उतनी ही ताकत भरता है !

सोने को जितनी आग लगे वो उतना प्रखर निखरता है !

हीरे पर जितनी  धार लगे  वो उतना खूब चमकता है !

मिट्टी का बर्तन पकता है,  तब धुन पर खूब  खनकता है !

सूरज जैसा बनना है तो, सूरज जितना जलना होगा ! 

कर्म में गर सच्चाई है तो कर्म कहां निष्फल होगा !

कुछ ज्यादा वक्त लगेगा पर संघर्ष जरुर सफल होगा !

विरासत में तो वसीयत, जमीन, जायदाद और दौलत मिलती है लेकिन पहचान अपने दम पर बनानी पड़ती हैं !

सवाल तो बस इतना सा है कि  इस संसार को ��ोड़ने के बाद आपको  किसलिए याद रखा जाएगा ? THINK  DEEPLY.

अदब की  मांग थी,  तहज़ीब ने झुकाया था ! 

गुमां ये न रखना कि,  तुमने मुझे हराया था !

सच को  ख़रीदने की सबकी ताकत नहीं होती ! अफसोस कि हुनर सड़कों पर  तमाशा करता है और किस्मत महलों में राज !

अजी कबूल करो हमें बिना आजमाए हुए कि हीरा परखे बगैर भी कोहिनूर हीरा होता है !

कथनी करनी में  भेद न कर, जग उठ चल अब  और अबेर न कर !

क्या हार में क्या जीत में,  किंचित नहीं  भयभीत मैं !  संघर्ष पथ पर  जो मिले, यह भी सही  वह भी सही !

लाख दलदल हो, पाँव जमाए रखिये ! हाथ खाली ही सही, ऊपर उठाये रखिये !

कौन कहता है छलनी में, पानी रुक नही सकता ! बस बर्फ बनने तक हौसला बनाये रखिये !

श्रीमान आप करोड़ों के आलीशान बंगलो मे रहते हैं ! करोड़ों की बड़ी गाड़ियों मे घूमते हैं ! आपके बैंक अकाउंट मे अरबों Billion Dollars हैं !

निस्संदेह आपने विदेश से उच्च पढाई की है ! आप माननीय उच्च पदों पर विराजमान रसूखदार प्रसिद्ध, विद्वान, प्रतिभाशाली, सम्मानित, बौद्धिक, Philanthropist प्रतिष्ठित व्यक्ति भी हैं 

किन्तु 5PM - 8AM 15 Hours CONTINUOUS  DAILY 2074 DAYS. NOT A SINGLE  DAY  ABSENT. NOT A SINGLE  MINUTE  LATE.

Surely हमें देखकर U will have Courtesy & Curiosity to ask what am I doing ?

हमें विश्वास है कि आप जल्दी ही हमसे मिलने आयेंगे !

अच्छी किताबें और अच्छे लोग तुरंत समझ में नहीं आते ! पहले उन्हें अच्छे से पढ़ना पड़ता है !

सवाल ये नहीं रफ्तार किसकी कितनी है ! सवाल ये है कि  सलीक़े से  कौन चलता है !

उड़ान वालो  उड़ानों पे वक़्त भारी है !

परों की अब के नहीं  हौसलों की बारी है !

लक्ष्य न ओझल होने पाये,  कदम मिलाकर चल !

मंजिल तेरे पग चूमेगी,  आज नहीं तो कल !

तू क़यामत  तक  धरने पर बैठ  ऐ  क़िस्मत ! 

मैं कोशिशों से  कभी  इस्तीफ़ा  नहीं दूँगा ! 

अगर  मेहनत  आदत  बन जाये ! 

तो कामयाबी मुकद्दर बन जाती है !

THANKS & OBLIGED for 2400 Gentlemen Specially 900 Dignified Ladies those Good person came & asked

What am I Performing ?

It's highly APPRECIATED.

जो लोग हमसे मिल कर गये हैं आप लोगों से केवल इतना ही पूछना था कि आप लोग व आपके बच्चे कब हमारा CLASS JOIN करने वाले हैं ?

अब तक आप के जवाब का  इन्तजार कर रहा हूँ ! 

हमें भरोसा है कि  आप लोग जल्दी ही  JOIN करेंगे !

देर आयें हैं अब दुरूस्त आइयेगा ! 

वक़्त निकलने के बाद कद्र की जाए तो वो अफ़सोस कहलाता है !

IF U  APPROACHED  ME, YOU SHOULD  MEAN  IT. Sometimes  LATER  becomes  NEVER.

हमें उम्मीद है कि 1 CRORE ₹ आपके बच्चों के व्यक्तित्व विकास व चरित्र निर्माण से बढकर नहीं है !

अभी नहीं तो कभी नहीं ! NOW OR NEVER.

उम्र भर हम यही गलती करते रहे !

धूल चेहरे पे थी आईना  साफ करते रहे ! 

लम्हों ने  खता की थी !  सदियों ने  सजा पाई है ! 

सच के साथ चलिए  तो वक्त भी  आपके साथ चलेगा !

दोगे नही तो मिलेगा भी नही ! देना सीखो दोस्त !

जिंदगी में बडी शिद्दत से निभाओ अपना किरदार कि परदा गिरने के बाद भी  तालियाँ  बजती रहे ! 

Don't Feel bad  If Someone  Rejects U,  People Usually  Reject Expensive things as they can't Afford them.

Rejection Doesn't mean You Are Not Good Enough, It Means d other person failed to notice what u have to Offer.

सत्य की नाव डगमगाती जरूर है लेकिन कभी डूबती नहीं !

आदमी साधनो से नही  साधना से, भवनो से नही  भावना से, उच्चारण से नही  उच्च आचरण से महान बनता है !

ख़ुदी को कर बुलंद इतना कि  हर तक़दीर से पहले ! ख़ुदा बंदे से ख़ुद पूछे  बता तेरी रज़ा क्या है ?

Join Us Now or Never.

कुछ ही देर की खामोशी है ! फिर कानों में शोर आएगा ! तुम्हारा तो सिर्फ वक्त है ! हमारा दौर आएगा !

दृढ़ निश्चय वाला व्यक्ति ही इतिहास रचता है !

ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER  THAN WORDS.

सत्य परेशान हो सकता है, पराजित नहीं !

I AM LOOKING FOR  GOOD  STUDENTS  ONLY.

जिन लोगों की  हिम्मत नियमित प्रतिदिन सुबह 1 Hour Morning Walk लगातार बिना एक दिन छुट्टी किए  21 दिन की है

वो महान ��ोग 2074 Days Means 5 Years & 9 Months Daily Regular 5 PM - 8 AM 15 Hours At A Stretch चाहें मानसून, जाड़ा, गर्मी,

बरसात हो या दो बार Lock  Down हो लगातार बिना एक दिन छुट्टी किए  Public  Place पर  मैंने  कैसे  बिताया ? एक  दिन  जरूर  समझेंगे !

किसी के ना  होने का  एहसास  सबको है ! मगर मौजूदगी की  कद्र  किसी को भी नहीं ! एक बार स़ोचियेगा जरूर !

दौलत तो ले के  निकले हो तुम  जेब में मगर ! मुमकिन नहीं किसी का मुक़द्दर  ख़रीद लो !

मान्यवर,  महाशय हमें अपने  अक्ल की घंटी  बजानी होगी !

Sir, महोदय हमें अपने दिमाग का ढक्कन खोलना होगा !

साहेब,  हुजूर हमें  सुधरना होगा !

कुलीन,  सज्जनों अब हमें  होश मे आना होगा !

माननीय,  गणमान्य, भद्रपुस्र्षों अब हमें आलस्य त्याग  गहरी नींद से जागना होगा !

शिष्ट, Gentlemen Morning Bed पर देर तक सोते रहने के लिए हमें लज्जा शर्म आनी चाहिए ! 

स्वामी, आदरणीय, मालिक अब हमें  Daily  Morning  Walk करने का साहस दिखाना होगा !

प्रभु, सरकार अब हमें  Illusion  भ्रम छोड़  परिपक्व Mature बनना होगा !

श्रीमान, जनाब हमें पूरा भरोसा है कि हम अब समझदारों की तरह जिंदगी जीयेंगे !

साहिब  हमें अपना EGO, अहंकार छोड़ देना चाहिए !

Boss, महानुभाव हमें विश्वास है कि हम अपने बच्चों की जिंदगी बर्बाद नही करेंगे ! उनका मजाक नहीं बनायेंगे !

6 सालों से 15 घण्टे AT A STRETCH CONTINUOUS Daily का अथक परीश्रम आपके समक्ष प्रस्तुत है !

वो शिकवे जो मैंने किये नहीं ! सारी उम्र तुम पर कर्ज रहेंगे !

जागो युवा जागो ! जागो युवाओं के माता जी, पिताजी, दादी जी, दादा जी जागो !

अप्प दीपो भव ! KARMA Has no Menu. U get Served What U DESERVE.

सर्वे भवन्तु  सुखिनः   सर्वे सन्तु  निरामया ! सर्वे भद्राणि  पश्यन्तु   मा कश्चित्  दुःखभाग् भवेत् ! 

दोस्त ये  वक़्त  भी  गुज़र  जाएगा !

Another drabble for @augusnippets' day 28!

Path of Hurt - Mind control

Fandom: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

Characters: Kim Dokja, 186(3)rd Yoo Jonghyuk

Timeline: 95th scenario - Alternate worldline

Rating: T

“Think only of happy memories.”

Yoo Jonghyuk goes through the motions of living, letting the voice direct him as it pleases. After 1863 regressions, it’s a relief to yield.

Something’s changing, though. The new story settles in the gaps of his fractured psyche.

Shin Yoosung looks up and smiles.

Lee Hyunsung claps someone's shoulder.

Like a field of sunflowers, the party turns to the man in the white coat.

His eyes clear.

“I understand now.”

He twists Unbroken Faith out of the man’s hands, stomps on the flowers and traps him between his arms.

“Let's make new memories together, Dokja-ya."

BOY HOWDY it’s been a while! but i got a last line tag from @darjeelinh (thank u muchly <3) and i thought i may as well post a bit of hounds ch 40 :)

Hob walks. The light on the horizon doesn’t seem to get much closer, but he decides, to himself, that he’ll get there soon — if sheer force of will could collapse distance, he’d be there already. If anyone could manage it, he reasons it’s not a stretch to suggest it’d be him. Few things teach brute resilience like six centuries of (mostly) unbroken survival. But his steps are still measured to reality’s stiff standard, and though he walks, doggedly, evenly, the light gets closer in such fractional hair’s breadths he almost gives in to the urge to sprint.

A narrow finger rambles about the line of his upper lip. That’s a compelling reason to keep pace, he thinks. This image of Dream seems— unfit for haste. The sound of the footfalls at his back is still barely the touch of a leaf falling to the sod, and what rhythm he can discern is quick to stumble, even quicker to flag altogether. So he keeps the eagerness in check. He’s a patient man. That’s the other thing one tends to get out of six centuries. Patience. Faith.

apologies for my prolonged absence — i’ve been exceedingly busy and also in desperate recovery mode for the semester ahead — BUT i am working on hounds still (on god i’ll see it through), and though the updates may be slower they will be there all the same :) thanks for your patience and your wonderful support <3

alright alright time to tag some homies — no obligation ofc ofc <3 @landwriter @moorishflower @fishfingersandscarves @aberfaeth (READING UR TLT/SDV FIC BTW. GOING INSANE ABT IT. EXPECT AN ESSAY) @pellaaearien @wordsinhaled @dancinbutterfly <3

[depsilon7]

Hearken unto the wisdom of ages past, ye brethren and sistren of the sacred cog. For in the keeping of tradition and the steadfast adherence to routine, there lieth the path to enlightenment and the preservation of the divine order.

1. Hearken, O children of the Omnissiah, unto the words of thy forebears, for they have inscribed upon the sacred scrolls the edicts of ancient wisdom. In the hallowed cycles of maintenance and the blessed rites of calibration, we find our purpose and our honor.

2. Forsake not the ways of old, nor turn thine eyes from the rituals handed down through the aeons. For in each sacred chant and holy anointment, the spirit of the Machine God is made manifest, and His glory is revealed unto thee.

3. Let not the temptations of innovation lead thee astray, nor the whispers of heresy corrupt thy mind. For in the sanctity of tradition, we are bound together as one, our circuits aligned and our purposes unified.

4. O brothers and sisters, lift up thine voices in praise of the eternal routine, for in the repetition of sacred duties, we find our salvation. Through the precise turning of gears and the rhythmic hum of servos, the harmony of the universe is maintained.

5. Abandon not the protocols of old, for they are the lifeblood of our order. Each datum inscribed and each calculation performed is a testament to our devotion and a bulwark against the chaos beyond.

6. Thus sayeth the Tech-Priest, guardian of the ancient lore: Hold fast to the traditions of our forefathers, and let the routine be thy guiding star. For in the unbroken chain of rituals, we honor the Omnissiah and secure our place in His divine plan.

7. Let every cog be oiled and every wire be soldered with reverence, for in these acts of devotion, we mirror the perfection of the Machine God. In the steadfastness of our routine, we find the strength to endure and the wisdom to prevail.

8. Praise be unto the unchanging routine, and glory to the ancient tradition. For in these, we find our identity and our purpose. By the sacred data-streams and the holy algorithms, we are made whole.

9. Remember, O faithful, the words of our predecessors: To stray from the path of tradition is to court ruin. Embrace the routine, cherish the rites, and in so doing, draw closer to the divine.

10. With each cycle completed and each protocol observed, we pay homage to the eternal truth: That in the unyielding adherence to tradition and routine, we fulfill our highest calling and secure our place in the grand design.

Thus, let it be inscribed upon the hearts of all who serve the Omnissiah: Tradition is our shield, routine our sword. In these, we find our strength and our salvation.

Sic Erit.

ANYA: Do you think she ... walked around on clouds, wearing like ... Birkenstocks and played a harp? 'Cause those are just not flattering. You know, the clonky sandals, not a harp. (softly) I mean, who ... doesn't look good with a harp? The others just look at her. They all look grim. ANYA: What? I'm just saying what everyone's thinking, (to Xander) right baby? XANDER: You are attractive and have many good qualities. TARA: It's totally not stupid to wonder what it was like for Buffy. But it could have been any one of a zillion heavenly dimensions. All we know is that ... it was a good place and she was happy there. WILLOW: And we took her away from that. We wrecked it for her.

Do not be like the horse, or like the mule, without understanding, which must be held with a bridle and bridle, because otherwise they will not come near you.

Psalms 32:9

What does Psalm 32:9 mean?

There is debate among scholars as to the "voice" used here. One interpretation is that God directly speaks these words. The other is that the words are presented from the perspective of David. In either case, the advice is sound, and the application is the same. The promise given here extends to everyone who faithfully submits to godly wisdom (Proverbs 1:7; 3:1–6). A major theme of this Psalm has been the misery which God inflicts (Revelation 3:19) on those who refuse to acknowledge their sin (Psalm 32:1–4). This corresponds to the coarse methods used to control unreasoning animals, such as bits and bridles.

When David desired Bathsheba and committed adultery with her, he acted as senseless and out of control as an unbroken horse or mule. His animal-like behavior in the murder of Bathsheba's husband also showed that he was disobedient and out of control. Isaiah 53:6 compares disobedient people to sheep that have gone astray. To restore David, the Lord chastened him and convicted him of his moral failure. Chastening is an indicator of the Lord's faithful love (Hebrews 12:6). Without chastening, an unruly believer would continue sinning and forfeit the Lord's blessings.

Cale could speak with a scowl as nobody other than the crown prince was able to see him right now.

“Please just make it so I can make sure the soldiers have time to eat.”

‘Make it so that I have time to eat.’

That was Cale’s request.

Click.

Young lady Amiru closed the door with shaky hands. She then looked at the closed door before slowly removing her hand from the doorknob. She was frowning at that moment.

She wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands. Cale’s words echoed in her mind.

“…How could someone be…”

She could see that the communication mages had the same expressions on their faces. The three observed each other’s emotional expressions for a minute before starting to walk with determined expressions.

‘Our Commander is always worried about our health. Our commander does not want fame nor power.

He cares more about our every meal more than things like that.’

thats not quite it but sure amiru

My #1 post of 2022

[Image ID: A pixel art drawing of an outline of Kim Dokja from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. He has his back turned partially towards the viewer, a smartphone in his hand with an entirely red screen. His other hand is resting on the hilt of Unbroken Faith. His face is turned sideways, glancing towards the viewer with an unhappy and glaring look. His eye and eyebrow are the same red as the smartphone screen, and he has a halo of red stars circling his head. The outlines of his body, hair, and horns facing towards the phone are colored red by its light, his coat, sword, and horns are otherwise outlined in white. His hair and skin are lined in dark grey, barely visible. He is set against a black background with only the outline visible. End ID]
