Jesus Christ be praised. Hello, brothers. Salve, fratribus ac sororibus.
Look.
Cum sit enim proprium
viro sapienti
supra petram ponere
sedem fundamenti,
stultus ego comparor
fluvio labenti,
sub eodem tramite
nunquam permanenti.
Carmina Burana
Suffering texts, sad music and the meaning of poems that obscure the mind and heart... so many people are looking for love and want to be loved!
But if you ask everyone what love is, they will answer in their own way.
Everyone has their own view of love, for some it is just an ordinary meaningless word, and not always those who are rejected adhere to such statutes.
Here is where some will discover their own meaning for themselves, because the most important thing in this text is to find yourself, which means that when reading the text, everyone associates the phrases with a certain situation. Or maybe someone described love like this - in torment and suffering, comparing it to fortune?
After all, even Christians have different opinions about love, despite the fact that they honor the Bible, opinions have always been and will be different, even if they are silent about it.
God's providence, suffering for good as a test, or God's wrath and the flattery of the prince of lies?
A person can call both of these things fate. But he can't get away from her plans, or God plans.
The point is not in what you call your suffering or periods of joy, but in how you can transfer it to paper.

5, 8, 9, and 10 for midlink
5. How do you envision them getting together?
Very bad slowburn. Their relationship started picking up right after Lakebed, when Midna slowly opened up to Link and told him about her people, their history etc. I feel like Snowpeak would be a big point where they got really close during harsh blizzards and Link almost freezing to death. What once might've been a silly crush quickly escalated (literally) and they accidentally kissed. While trying to silence unspoken feelings it just got worse and they confessed in very awkward ways
8. What are their love languages, and how do they show each other affection?
They care so much about the other's wellbeing. Midna takes care of Link's injuries, pats his hair and face, while Link soothes Midna's insecurities and acts like her grounding anchor. They like to hug tightly to feel the warmth/cold from the other
9. Do you see them getting married, and if your answer is yes, what would their wedding look like?
In my AU: Yes, definitely!! Their wedding was a very boring ceremony, mostly just formalities and all the fancy stuff. They were kinda forced into it because society pressured them to get married, and they just went with it because "eh, we love each other so why not"
10. Can you imagine them having any kids and/or pets?
AU again: Yes, 2 kids! They have a son called Viro and a daughter called Miliana. Viro was a shocking surprise because they did not think hybrids were possible, while Miliana was a happy accident. Age gap is 5 years and they both inherited Midna's temper
#ask game#asks#midlink#YES MORE MIDLINK!#and more twilight's afterglow! feels good to finally drop some infos lmao#twilight's afterglow#fanchild#still hope my stuff makes some sense. i tend to overanalyze my text until I start to miss typos n stuff

☆.。.:° Session I - Part 2 | Wild Beyond the Witchlight °:.。.☆
Click here to see part 1 of the session note
Where Orion is frustrated, Trinkets wants to try drugs and Antigone begins to hate children.
[TW: drugs]
Diane then gives Antigone paint and brushes, explaining to the adventurers that they need to find half the unicorn's names if they want any answers.
There are eight unicorns, and they are paired off. The adventurers have to solve a riddle to find their names, but Trinket and Antigone start to hit a wall. Orion's player, hearing all of their theory, is becoming more and more frustrated. Looking at them, it's clear they have the answer to at least part of the riddle. But Orion can't help, as he's outside of the merry-go-round. Yielding to the temptation to help his friends, he finally decides to use one of his eight punchable dot to get into the attraction.
With his help, the trio manage to find the name of the four unicorns, and mount them to begin the carousel. Questions are asked, poems are given and locations known.
Their curiosity satisfied, our three heroes (are they heroes yet or only adventurers on a quest?) thank Diana, promising to free her from her curse before they leave the carnival.
As they leave the merry-go-round, they see a sylvanian and a cute squirrel handing out seeds and dandelions ready to be blown away. As they blow upon their dandelion, they hope their greatest wish will come true during this journey.
The three friends study the map for a bit before deciding to go to the Snail Race. On their way, they go past the Lost and Found stand, seeing Dirla and the two children she watches over. You know how I said that the adventurers didn't seems interested in the boys in the last session notes? well they will now be taken with the children for at least 45 minutes real-time.
As they approach the stand, the oldest has a disco ball in his hand and doesn't want to give it back, which angers Dirla, and the feline begins to growl at him. Frightened, he drops the ball and flees, leaving Dirla worried about his safety, as she can't leave the younger one alone and she has to mind the stand.
But the adventurers seem more interested in the young halfling child, Allowin. They ask after his parents and learn that his mother is the one that left him here, while his dad is enjoying snacks somewhere. "Snacks?" is the question. "Yeah, mom says he enjoys coca?" The three share a glance, knowing that this kind of drink doesn't exist in their world. Have they heard something wrong?
Not at all. It would seem the dad is a cocaine addict and the mom is at the Swan boats with a man she calls 'Darling'. Who is apparently not the dad. And the parents are still married. Well… Maybe they could find the mom if Allowin gives them her name and some kind of description. Of course, he calls her 'mom' and doesn't have a name to give them. They know she has green hair and green eyes, but in the colourful carnival, it's not the most helpful of description. Maybe they could try to find the dad later though. If he's conscious.
(Picture of Dirla)
Seeing the adventurers become invested in the child's story, she asks for their help to find Viro, the one who fled earlier. Thinking about how Dirla told them children are seen as lost things and the disappearance of said lost things when the carnival closes for the night, the three accept. After a few minutes searching for the miscreant, they find him in front of a snack stand, pocketing some kind of white, flour-like sweets.
On the small slate with the prices and menu is written "Sweet coke, the best sweet to stay awake!". Antigone is suspicious. They just learnt drugs are being sold in the carnival, and a child is pocketing three sweets supposed to keep him awake and excited all night? No way she's letting him keep them.
On the other hand, Trinket is quite enthusiastic about these sweets. But when he tries to buy some without paying thanks to his role as a Carnival Hand, the seller refuses. He doesn't want to sell to the people working here, which seems even more suspicious than selling drugs in broad daylight.
Antigone manages to exchange the three sweets in the hand of the child for a lollipop, negociating with all the persuasion she has in her small body. With this done, they go back to Dirla with Viro, sternly telling him not to stray again.
And the questions come back. "Where are your parents, kid?". The answer comes quick: "I don't have a dad and my mom's a bitch." Nice kid, this one. Staying calm is a trial for Antigone, while Orion and Trinket are both laughing their ass off on the ground behind her. They can't breathe, this might be dangerous.
"Still, we need to find her before the Carnival ends, don't you think?" - "Well she left me here, I hate her, and you're a slut." Antigone is trying to understand why anyone would have children. She can't come up with an answer, and she'll receive no help from her two friends, too busy laughing as they are.
Antigone asks a few more questions and understands that Viro's mum is an artist and left him here with only a small suitcase containing a change of clothes and a toothbrush. She promises Dirla and the boys to try and find their parents, and the group leaves in direction of the Snail Race.
They all decide to race against each other. At first, it seems like Orion is going to win, but Antigone manages to push through and get first place. Thanks to this, she receives an Advantage potion.
The session finishes on this happy note, everyone a bit tired.
Next time, we'll be able to see Antigone trying to speak with a manager about this drug-selling stand and Trinket hoping to find someone called Canfoo, so don't hesitate to follow the blog not to miss anything!

When does Deltarune takes place?
A rather simple question, that, from what I can tell, few people can answer. This makes sense, obviously, as the game never states the year, not even in subversive way, like in Undertale.
I checked Deltarune subreddit (sorry), a few YouTube videos with low views and Fandom (sorry), and the first two "sources" have no concrete answer, and Fandom wiki has no say at all (makes sense tbh).
So, a while ago I began thinking about this, and, I have some guesses.
Deltarune takes place in the fall of 2011 or 2012. Or just early 2010s if you feel like this is too specific.
Now I shall explain my thought process. I have two categories of reasoning for this: out of universe and in universe.
Real life stuff
Out of universe stuff includes real life stuff, and, since I'm not Toby, I don't know if either of these are correct. Still, I feel like they're worth a mention.
We know Deltarune began development in 2012. It would make sense, that the game would continue to use that time period, that's because:
2. This game tackles nostalgia, and it would make sense to use a period that would be nostalgic to majority of Deltarune's intended audience.
These two are basically just guesses, but next category actually use in-game evidence.
The technology of Deltarune
The world of Deltarune is clearly supposed to mirror our own. Part of this is done by using 2010s tech.
The phones
Starting with Catti, in chapter 1 she has a smartphone:
That said, so far she's the only person to have a smartphone, which could indicate that they are still not a common item like they are now.
Meanwhile, Kris has a cellphone, something that would still be more common than smartphones before 2013 or so.
The only other visible phone in game is this corded phone in Kris's home:
This kind of corded phone was also kinda replaced by smartphones.
The computers
Computers are a bit more interesting in their visuals in the game. We have:
Kris's and Asriel's, as well as Alphys's computer monitors resemble the ones common in early 2010s.
Computer room in the Librarby has these older monitors, which makes sense, given that libraries tend to have outdated tech due to poor funding. At least someone (probably the mayor) was kind enough to give this high end laptop to the Librarby.
The TVs
Both of TVs we see in the game don't look new:
These look a bit old even for early 2010s, but it can be explained with context. Neither Toriel nor Kris really use their TV, so why would they need a newer one? Meanwhile Asgore probably got the cheapest shit he could get.
holidaygirl1225
In Spamton Sweepstakes there's a blog, that's run by Noelle. Her blog look like a typical GeoCities page. For the record, GeoCities went offline in 2009, and those pages are implied to have been written by younger Noelle.
Why some might think otherwise?
Deltarune has 2 mentions of a certain year:
Spamton and Virovirokun mention 1997 a LOT, which led some to think that the game takes place in early 2000s, or as early as 1998.
I don't think this is the case because 1997 is meant to represent that Spamton is long past his prime, and that Viro' is an outdated virus. Also, you can see technology that wouldn't make sense to be a thing that early.
Then, there's this:
This one led to an obvious conclusion that Deltarune takes place in "202x". So, mystery solved, right?
Na.
This is a cut content, and while this game has a more unique relation with cut content than your typical game, I believe this is one of the exceptions. The whole illustrated manual uses outdated info about mechanics of the game, and, was clearly unfinished. As such, while 2020s might at one point be the period when Deltarune takes place, this is not a proof of that. If it DOES take place in 2020s, we will learn this by some other means in future chapters.
Conclusion
So, does this matter that much anyway? Probably not tbh, given that it's not really said in the game. I do find it interesting that people seem to have such varied answer to a rather simple question. Anywhere between 1998 to 2020s, even though the game clearly depicts early 2010s.
I can't wait to turn out to be an absolute clown because everyone on Tumblr already believe this, which I couldn't find out due to this sites abysmal search functions.
#Deltarune#Deltarune theory#...I guess?#Sorry for shit screenshots#Oh!#There are a few lines that can imply other time periods#But I believe that about all of them are meant to be references or jokes#Rather than indicators of a time period#Like social distancing note in chapter 2#Or War Thunder reference in Spamtons valentine card

Can viruses infect the circus? If so, has it ever happened before?
Also, what about anti-viruses? Are those active? If so, are they just code or npcs? (That last "code or npcs" question goes for the viruses as well!)
I'm curious :]
Why, I'm glad you're curious, you curious anon! Because I happen to have an answer!
The Digital Circus is infested with tiny critters within its code! Let's see some visuals.
🫧 Don't let those things near me!🫧
Don't worry Bubble, these snake-like virus won't get near you as long as these next code-crawlers are here!
🫧 I really gotta give it to these guys. They really know how to keep our Circus safe!🫧
Luckily, we've never had to deal with any Viros doing any threatening damage to us.

sorry for sending two asks back to back but this request is my white whale and I ask most book people if they’ve got anything for it
anyways, do you know of any adult sci fi or fantasy novels that are written in the last 10 years that have a government that is actively trying to improve the lives of its people and is overall a force for good?
all good! I'll answer this one first anyway.
Honestly my first thought is, is that possible, lmao - but for real, I feel like in most books it's either Government Bad or it just theoretically exists but isn't relevant to the narrative? Or otherwise is barely recognisable as a government ie more community based systems. I'm not sure I can think of much where the government is good and also significant in the narrative, other than I guess HotE as you mentioned.
important point also: I simply don't remember the finer details of these things. here's some that come to mind, but probably aren't quite what you're looking for:
The Thread That Binds & The Tale That Twines by Cedar McCloud are set in a present day & 70s inspired fantasy world, and the government of the country that the MCs live in is good-ish? at the very least, they don't have police.
A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys, if I remember, has the MC living in a co-op community area, but there's other bad corporate governments
I would say Pet by Akwaeke Emezi, but that's MG. and also I guess the main plot is that the utopian system still fails people sometimes
A Psalm for the Wild-Built - I can't remember how much whatever the governing system is mentioned in here or what it's like? the broader worldbuilding is a bit iffy but the concept is more or less 'even in a utopia people can be lost or depressed' so
Foxhunt by Rem Wigmore is also a solarpunk future - I think still with somewhat flawed leadership.
Na Viro by Gina Cole - I can't remember finer details, but I remember it being a Better Future (aside from climate change), but also I vaguely remember some systemic issues as part of the plot, I just can't remember if they come from the academy or govt lol
The Seep by Chana Porter is about mind aliens who invade and make earth into a utopia, essentially. Again, I can't remember the governmental situation specifically.
basically all of these are in a solarpunk direction and like...moving away from a traditional government, and the story isn't necessarily focused on that, so maybe not what you're looking for anyway, haha

The Benefits of Puerility
puerility - noun - quality of being a child; foolishness; silliness.
Yesterday, I had the distinct pleasure of turning 66 at the west end of Rt. 66–at Mel's Drive-In in Santa Monica. I invited 35 of my favorite people in Los Angeles, and twenty came to squeeze into a very long booth that spanned the length of the diner just to celebrate the milestone and to promise to contribute monetarily to two of my favorite charities. As the other half of the eatery was virtually devoid of customers, we took the liberty of celebrating with gusto, whooping it up, being noticeably puerile. You know. Being loud, raucous, immature. Like college kids at a frat party even though the majority of us culprits are in the fourth quarter of life. We weren't bothering anyone. No one complained. We were just having a good time.
Case in point: Can there be benefits for those who behave like this? Can refusing to age graciously be beneficial?
You bet.
Age is not a number, but this is something most of you who are in my box already know. It is a state of mind. If you think you are old, then you are. Here I am reminded of my former mother-in-law who got married out of high school, had two children–hardly taking a breath in between–and proceeded to agree to age rapidly because there was nothing better to do. By the time she was 66, she wasn't behaving like I did last night, sporting a red "Historic Route 66" T-shirt and a short skirt, laughing uproariously with her fellow revelers, pausing only to smooch with her seventy-year-old best beau (which would have been my former father-in-law) at Mel's on Lincoln. Nope. Mom was watching TV reruns of "Dallas," pausing only during breaks to light up a Marlboro and stare miserably at a series of commercials advertising such products as Listerine. Naturally, she died relatively young and unhappy only because she had no concept of joy. She consciously chose not to have any understanding of it.
Those who aspire never to lose track of puerility know how to turn back the hands of time. They simply don't step into the shoes of society's antiquated expectations. They don't listen or answer when their grandkids ask why they ride Viros in and out of traffic. They don't understand what "age appropriate" means. They work out so that they look good in clothes that are designed for much younger people. They dye their hair. They intrinsically know that life is a lot less painful if they surround themselves with a variety of friends of different ages who hold onto humor as if it were a life vest in a turbulent sea. They know joy. They practice it every day by living dauntlessly, not caring what others might think of them. They give generously; they take when necessary. They love passionately. They forgive. They understand. They listen. They are as some say, "All in." And they smile wholeheartedly at the end of each day, knowing they sucked the marrow clean out of it.
Life as we all know is so very short. Why get old before your time? Why get old at all? It is not something that you are forced to do. If you don't want to end up like my former mother-in-law, you are going to have to reset your mindset. Walk on the puerile side. You may live a lot longer, staying a lot healthier in the process.

Buying Mattress in Singapore - FAQs Answered
Have you been trying to buy a mattress in Singapore? Whether you are moving into a new home or just looking to upgrade your sleep settings, ensuring that you find the right mattress is paramount for your comfort and health. But, given the endless number of options, how do you even know if you are making the right choice? The answer lies in asking the right questions. Here, we have compiled a list of burning questions you should know the answers to before beginning your hunt for a brand-new mattress.
#1 What are the different sizes of mattresses?
In Singapore, mattresses come in four main sizes – king, queen, super single, and single, catering to diverse sleeping and spatial needs. King-size mattresses are the biggest and usually the ultimate choice for those who co-sleep and crave ample space to toss and turn freely. Queen-size mattresses are generally a touch smaller but still provide enough legroom for couples or solo sleepers who like stretching out. A super single mattress offers width for single sleepers who want a bit more room than you get with a single mattress while keeping things cosy. Last but not least, a single mattress in Singapore is the smallest of the lot and is the perfect choice for children, teens and even adults living in compact spaces.
#2 What types of mattresses are found in Singapore?
Mattresses in Singapore are available in a range of options. Some popular choices are:
Bonnell Spring: Durable and firm, these mattresses provide firm support with a bit of a bounce and are an affordable option for people who prefer a traditional, resilient sleeping surface.
Memory Foam: These mattresses contour to your body’s shape, providing comfort, and are ideal for people with joint pains or those needing a lot of support.
Pocketed Spring: Made from individually wrapped coils, these mattresses are perfect for couples who don’t want to be disturbed by their partner’s movements during the night.
Latex: Naturally hypoallergenic, these mattresses provide a responsive, slightly bouncy feel and are a great choice for people with allergies.
#3. Where can I buy a mattress in Singapore?
In Singapore, you can purchase mattresses both online and offline. However, buying online usually offers better deals and a greater range of options. By not having to drag yourself from one store to another in the quest for that perfect mattress, you spare yourself a lot of hassle and time.
#4. What is the price for a good mattress?
Good-quality mattresses usually start from over $500, but a few stores online offer great deals on mattresses. Leveraging those deals can get you incredible mattresses for as low as $300.
#5 Are there any reputable mattress brands in Singapore?
Yes, several reputable mattress brands are available in Singapore, such as Unicorn, King Koil, Honey, Dream Pebble, Viro, and Ofeno.
To Conclude,
With these questions answered, you are now ready to buy yourself a brand-new mattress. Head over to F31 for the best quality yet cheapest mattress in Singapore and discover a new realm of comfort.

Mercury and the woodman
A poor Woodman was cutting down a tree near the edge of a deep pool in the forest. It was late in the day and the Woodman was tired. He had been working since sunrise and his strokes were not so sure as they had been early that morning. Thus it happened that the axe slipped and flew out of his hands into the pool.
The Woodman was in despair. The axe was all he possessed with which to make a living, and he had not money enough to buy a new one. As he stood wringing his hands and weeping, the god Mercury suddenly appeared and asked what the trouble was. The Woodman told what had happened, and straightway the kind Mercury dived into the pool. When he came up again he held a wonderful golden axe.
“Is this your axe?” Mercury asked the Woodman.
“No,” answered the honest Woodman, “that is not my axe.”
Mercury laid the golden axe on the bank and sprang back into the pool. This time he brought up an axe of silver, but the Woodman declared again that his axe was just an ordinary one with a wooden handle.
Mercury dived down for the third time, and when he came up again he had the very axe that had been lost.
The poor Woodman was very glad that his axe had been found and could not thank the kind god enough. Mercury was greatly pleased with the Woodman’s honesty.
“I admire your honesty,” he said, “and as a reward you may have all three axes, the gold and the silver as well as your own.”
The happy Woodman returned to his home with his treasures, and soon the story of his good fortune was known to everybody in the village. Now there were several Woodmen in the village who believed that they could easily win the same good fortune. They hurried out into the woods, one here, one there, and hiding their axes in the bushes, pretended they had lost them. Then they wept and wailed and called on Mercury to help them.
And indeed, Mercury did appear, first to this one, then to that. To each one he showed an axe of gold, and each one eagerly claimed it to be the one he had lost. But Mercury did not give them the golden axe. Oh no! Instead he gave them each a hard whack over the head with it and sent them home. And when they returned next day to look for their own axes, they were nowhere to be found.
Honesty is the best policy.

We're gonna ignore how long this took me to answer <3
This was kinda difficult ngl cause I don't really listen to albums in full I just find songs and listen to them ahah
Npt: @miseria-fortes-viros @moiramistakeee @still-in-the-wildflowerss @kentucky-fried-goth-attire @kaleidoskuls @book-place @heyitsjamie @allseeingavatar and anyone else who wants to!!
thanks @futurelovur !! nine albums i loved this year
i wasn't sure if it was albums specifically from this year or just stuff i was obsessed with, but i listened to little oblivions exclusively for about 5 weeks and preacher's daughter has a permanent chokehold on me so they get to be on here.
no pressure tag: @fromjannah @bnsfrailway @its-hell @grieving4theliving @be-queer-do-arson @meant-for-originals @declanshole @honkifyourelonely @ganseyiii-wannabe @glendover and anyone else who wants to :)
