My Headcannons for Yoichi Isagi, Rin itoshi and Alexis Ness💕

Part 1 l part 2

Might not be accurate

💗💗💗

Yoichi Isagi :

✿He took a photo once of his hair slick back and his fan went absolutely feral.

✿He time to time stalks Rin to observe what he does.

✿Isagi probably stares at the ceiling when he's about to sleep and think about all of the opportunities he missed.

✿If he played any other sports it would be chess, since his vision is great for mental games.

✿Tbh is he was a sin he would be greed/gluttony.

✿If he could ask anything from his parents, it would be to have a little sis.

✿Does skin, body and hair care every few days.

✿Swears in videos games often. Those little brats think they're so gOoD but once isagi finishes his puzzle he'll devour them

✿Tried to hit Kaiser in the head with the ball after a practice match, but Noel Noah was there

✿Gossips with kurona and hiori about kaiser and ness, It's perfect since kurona doesn't know what they're doing but hiori has a lot of dirt on them.

Boyfriend Headcannons💤

♡Plays football w/ u and teaches you by beating you, not even to destroy your self esteem.

♡ such a sweetheart while you are on your menstrual cycle (if you're a girl)

♡ gossip about every teammate with you, like a whole book of players he wants to gossip to you about

♡ once you were sick, he drove to the local store at 2 am just for you. He's so sweet.

♡ Cooks very well like he'll cook food decently

♡ Not that toxic? Maybe that's probably up for debate

♡tells you about his problems like it's the national news to be discuss

♡ Has that romantic playlist he made just for you and him to enjoy.

♡Due to being in blue lock he hasn't texted you often so in return he tries to send gifts every month

♡ Calls you darling and sweetheart multiple times a day

Rin itoshi

✿Drools in his sleep (Me too Rin)

✿I feel like he'll stand awkwardly in a party not even interacting with anyone

✿Is good at cleaning, not barou level but up there

✿Perfect grammar, also TOP at his English

✿Never uses any gen-z/alpha slangs or any type of slang infact

✿Dry ass texter...

✿Gets really weirded out by any of his THOSE fangirls/fanboys... Like wdym you wanna have the reproduction LIKE HE'S ONLY 16

✿Knows knife play at some point, don't ask him why (he doesn't know)

✿Artistic in secret... Like he'll paint the beach or anything that shows the happy times of him and sae

✿Gets nightmares of that day... (Pretty sure everyone has that headcannon by now)

Boyfriend Headcannons💤

♡Cuddles every time he gets a chance with you. That kinda prevents him from getting those dreams....

♡ even if he's not as romantic as the others, you guys still go on weekly dates and THEY are expensive or just casual date like movie date🫶

♡After getting traumatized by sae, he almost broke up with you, Thank goodness, that you manage to make him snap out of it.

♡ After getting convinced by your and his parents he went to couple counseling and saw his mistakes

♡One of his favorite things to do with you is Playing football, I mean two things he loves in one? Count him in!

♡ Bring extra clothes with him whenever you're around, just in case it gets cold and he doesn't need to give you his hoodie.

♡Does not have much of a soft spot for you BUT, his eyes sparkle whenever he sees you like the good old times

♡ Almost made you cry when you both were on a movie date, it was those scary ahh movies that you don't know what's coming next.

♡Has a separate Love notebook from his early days of middle school that he reads when he misses you.

♡Calls you lukewarm as a word of affection when he sees you

Alexis ness

✿Would probably be in good terms with isagi if it didn't end like this

✿Has a mental breakdown every few days because of kaiser paying too much attention to isagi

✿Makes Kaiser a birthday cake every year and even bought him EXPENSIVE stuff from his hometown

✿Keeps the magician outfit he had when he was just a child, he cherish it like it's the most valuable thing in the whole universe

✿Would be friends w/ Charles if they interacted more, I mean like opposite friends, Ya'k

✿If richer than his awful siblings back home, if not then... It's because of the plot.

✿If he didn't met kaiser he'll probably be better than what he is now.

✿Has surprisingly good fashion taste, It's better than most blue lockers I can tell you

✿Has that changing color book lamp at the side of his bed he use when he's upset or just sad

✿He would like science if it weren't for the fact of his childhood

Boyfriend Headcannons 💕

♡Is actually quite the gentleman to you and your family members, since he a very toxic household

♡Always makes your favorite dish, if he doesn't know the recipes he'll find it by your guardian/ by how you like it.

♡Gives you a lot of gifts, I MEAN A LOT like everyday you'll find things that you enjoy at your doorstep

♡Due to being away from blue lock, he gets awfully jealous of the boys around you. Even if it's just a friend

♡Husband material frfr

♡ Punch a dude that was making you uncomfortable, and then ran with you to flee the scene.

♡Prefers the value of affection than the materialistic value of a gift you give him

♡ Loves being the small spoon but if you want, he can be the big spoon, anything for his precious angel.

♡Yandere tendency!!! Whether a girl or boy, he will get jealous if you spend more attention on them than him!

♡Call you angel or any kind of German words of affection, he will use it

That's it y'all💋

Thank you for reading this! It too me longer than expected!

So thank you for staying till the end even tho it was just 3 blue lock characters!

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

yassesss

When the yes comes after a legit "akala mo" no, that's magic.

Have not been shitting out here lately because I'm still trying to contain one of the best YES I got this year. Chenen! Answered prayer #1, DONE. Opaqqqqq ol ye f8ful vibes because that means, 'yung simbang gabi, puwedeng ibang wish 'pag na-complete 'yung 9 mornings with feelings.

The YES came nonchalantly last weekend over my simple pa-HBD sa kapatid ko na ka-bday ang asawa niya. LELS. While I wanna reveal this bit, I'll put it off kasi it's not my story to tell since nga 'di naman 'to prayer for me. HIHIHI. Siguro, badly put, this is a birthday pa-surprise ng kaitaasan sa kapatid ko saka sa asawa niya.

Why do I share this? Proof of concept that totoo pa rin talaga ang isa sa mga faves kong pa-passage: Walk by faith, not by sight. And patunay din 'to na even when mother dragon, the OG taga-pray ng matitendeng intentions for a crazy fam ay expired na, kaya na namin. I joked dad nga na ang galing niya mag-pray. HAHAHAHAHA.

Gah. As a mainipin and madali ma-bore na sentient being, sobrang pakak neto. Kasi timebound din 'tong thingggyyy na 'to, kaya naman, prayer #2, ano na? CHZ. Hahahahaha.

Baka YES na rin sagot para maiba naman? HUY. NKKLK. It's actually a crazy intention kasi naman mhiemaaahhh, kadire. 'Yung parang 'di lang come from behind. Parang out of this galaxy na talaga siya. Lampas milky way, ganern. But, wait! There's more. Mag-add ka pa ng plus points kasi naman mhieeemahhh, JIC matupad 'to, choogadoog na talaga me because... abangan.

2024 has been a crazy good year because andaming naganap at hindi naganap. Totoo rin talaga na when the universe hits you really hard with a legit NO, that means some things are not meant for you. Even when you feel like, eto na 'yun... NO e. Periodddtzzz. And looking back, since September is halfway through na, I must say that this year is pivotal from the kaibuturan.

I remember having a "gratitude" list ages ago when I was in a super dark, delulu walang solulu era. So, let's try to unearth this. What am I grateful for apart from the solid YES na YES?

Dad and I healing galing emyyyy together, thanks to biking, kanin with ulam, doggos, him driving me around, atbp

Seeing my brother shape up even when it's not his cup of tea at all

My "isang pindot ka lang" washing machine

Witnessing how my mid babe, Vidi, fighting his advanced stage skin cancer

Feeding Vidi human food na gusto niya after 12 years of restricting him (LOLLOLL)

Accepting the fact that Vidi's days are bonus days, but trying my best to be with him in "YOLO" way

Hirit na baka kaya niya pa ng 5 years pero joke lang 'yun, but, malay mo naman, 'di ba? LELS. LUL.

Pagkarga with feelings ng mga Gen Alpha like E and McQueen. JUSQ. And pagpapatunay na kaya kong kumarga ng bata na kinakakagulat ng madlang people kasi nga, totoo pa rin naman na I fucking hate kids, however...

Vidcall every other week with my soul sis even when super introverts kami since 17 y/o na 'di talaga kami mushy at clingy sa isa't isa. In fact, this year lang namin 'yan ginawa as diesel girlies

Rediscovering food na 'di na siya lasang papel. HUY. Hahahahahahaha.

Back to red hair na akala ko naman jump from mom's legit kakulay hair color since June; but no, sabi ko deep red, then poof, my current color is exactly mom's shade of red hair when she was in her prime. Ending: Ayoko masyado na naman tignan sarili ko sa mirror, pero 'di naman na dahil spiral. More of takot me kasi kamukha ko na naman siya lalo. LAGOTTT. Mag-bait na raw ako. EMMMYYYY.

Found matcha peeps na legit na gusto ng nanapak na matcha. Apaka babaw neto pero basta happy ako diyan kasi usually talaga, coffee peeps ang earthlings. May comparison pa anong level ng matcha ang pinaka vibe, so pushhhh.

Pag-kalma kahit syempre, overthinking is lifer. Though, masasabi ko, may legit progress na ako dito.

Pagpili na iwas-iwas avoidant era kahit syempre, CTRL + ALT + DEL feelings = pak pero ayun nga, because of a reconnection with this ka-thing noon friend, eto na tayo

Biking. Biking. Biking. With a wonky B kahit paminsan lang talaga

Accepting this aging-defy-gravity-mo-mukha-mo body bit by bit; again, not insecure. Since pa-40 na tayo, nag-iba talaga siya and may bago na akong mission na sana ma-accomplish natin in the name of, slay-vage road to 4.0 kahit munti. Nothing fancy. Lahat natural at walang halong kemikal. KIMMMYYY.

So, what?

Let this be a tiny yet important note that being grateful beats the shit stick's hardest hits. I used to hang onto to this list, but I stopped kasi parang wala namang epekto noon. HAHAHAHAHA. Parang baliw lang ako na choosing to see the light even when my era is dark ages levels with bubonic plague na walang cure. That silent pandemic called "not dealing with grief"... you, bitch. Pero, as I choose to come in peace after 12 years, eto na tayo. Grief is a gift after the curse. And that gift is meant to be shared with people. The worst part of grief is not the permanent and unforgettable loss. The most fucked up part is the shame that I associated with it because all I saw was the irrevocable adios to my mother dragon, my deepest connection, to date. What's even worse than this is that I shut down people, places, and paganaps where I should have allowed grief to transform itself to stories that are super worthwhile. Why? Walang forever, so why bother?

What I'm slowly learning mala-biking with training wheels these days is that... shemay. Kaya ko ba ilapag here? Wait lang. Wait.

Even when forever is but a myth, the deontic truth remains: Time is but a construct, but stories, ought to live on, along with the lessons that make new stories more alive in full color. And that pain is part of a life well-lived by those who fought and those who choose to love. LUH. LUL. Kbye.

PS: Alsoooo, orchestrating 2 events in 2025. Both na personal projects 'to since super duper close ko mga 'to. One of them is in my legit na legit dream destination sa Pinas sa szn na pakak doon kaya naman, good luck and don't fuck it up. Sobrang taas na lalo ng costings ngayon tapos andaming EMYYYY NKKLK fine prints sa contracts. LOL.

Our Kind of Love 2

Summary: Jensen's having a hard time adjusting to the changes in their lives.

Characters: Alpha!Intersex!Danneel x Omega!Reader, Alpha!Intersex!Danneel x Beta!Jensen, Alpha!Jared x Omega!Gen

ABO BINGO: Small-statured Alpha

Warnings: A/B/O Dynamics, Angst

Word Count: 1,339

A/N: For @spnabobingo square: Small-statured Alpha. Beta'd by @danneelsmain.

PART 1

Jensen had just finished making dinner as the ladies made their way downstairs, following the mouthwatering scents. Dani stopped in her tracks though, instinctively shielding Y/N behind her as she caught note of Jensen's bitterness.

"I figured you'd be hungry," Jensen sighed, leaning against the island after putting the finishing touches on the dishes. Lingering looks and stares passed between the three of them as the silence and tension drew out.

"Why don't we all sit together?" Dani suggested, guiding Y/N towards the island counter and onto one of the stools. She kept her head bowed, not wanting to further upset the agitated Beta.

He was a large man, imposing, and could easily be mistaken for an Alpha. Dani, on the other hand, looked like an Omega. She was slender and feminine, her delicate features something Y/N wanted to study for hours on end. Though Y/N suspected her Alpha could be a beast if warranted.

Jensen shook his head in disbelief, laughing humorlessly to himself before staring Dani in the eye, "I understand that you need your Omega. And I understand that you and I are still the same," he assured Dani, "But that doesn't mean I'm okay with it, that I'm okay sharing my wife."

"Jay-"

"No," he slammed his hand on the counter, his anger finally coming forth. His Beta senses suggested maybe challenging an Alpha wasn't his best move, but he ignored that part of him.

Y/N jumped in surprise and Dani grew defensive of her Omega, stepping closer to her to fend off the threat. Jensen scoffed.

"I can't do this right now," he shook his head, heading fast out of the kitchen. Dani ran after him, leaving Y/N sitting alone in the unfamiliar kitchen. After several moments of harsh whispers, Y/N heard the door slam, a distraught Dani returning.

Y/N's heart sank, feeling her Alpha's sadness. She wanted to go to her, comfort her Alpha. Dani sensed it and shook her head, moving to the other side of the counter and dishing up plates for them.

"You need to eat," she explained, sitting down next to Y/N.

"But…Jay-"

"He just needs some time to cool down," she sighed, pushing around the food on her plate, "He's gone to Jared's, I'm sure," she rolled her eyes.

Y/N got the feeling she wasn't really talking to her so much as just talking, "And he's worried about me having someone else. He and Jared are practically married! They spend more time together-" she stopped herself, closing her eyes, "Eat."

Y/N had a feeling there was a recurring argument on that topic. There was so much she didn't understand. Guilt and elation were equally weighing on her. How could she be happy if her Alpha was miserable? Maybe this was all a mistake.

Gen smiled as she answered the front door, her smile quickly fading once she saw Jensen. It wasn't that he was there, she was used to that. Jared and Jensen dropped in on each other all the time. What bothered her was his disheveled hair and clothes, the flush to his skin, and the fire in his eyes.

"What happened?" she asked, ushering him inside with an arm around his waist and shouting across the house for Jared. He came bounding into the room with a big grin until he saw Jensen.

Jared was pure Alpha, through and through, though he was very kind and warm. But when it came to family - and especially Jensen - his Alpha kicked into overdrive, ready to protect.

Jensen's eyes met Jared's and he felt about to cry, "Dani found her Omega."

Gen guided Jensen to sit on the couch, Jared moving to the drink cabinet and fixing a whiskey for them both.

"You need a drink," Jared offered him the glass and Jensen downed it in one go. Jared gave Jensen the other full glass before going back to the cabinet and pouring another for himself.

Jensen explained the whole thing, finishing off his second drink by the time he was done.

"She said she's not leaving," he began explaining as Gen Sat next to Jared on the loveseat, "S-she wants us both," he huffed.

"Are you worried about sharing her?" Gen asked.

"I don't want to share her," he admitted, "I don't want to get replaced either. I'm just a Beta."

"You're not just a Beta and you know that," Jared chastised, "I don't see why you're so upset. You're not losing Dani, you're gaining a second wife," he chuckled, "Dude, it could be Penthouse Forum up in there!"

"Jare!" Gen shoved him lightly and shook her head, "Would be kind of hot," she added after a pause, her mind now mulling over the details.

"Such a dirty little Omega," Jared growled, pecking her lips before Jensen cleared his throat, bringing them back to the conversation.

"Is everything a dirty joke to you?" Jensen teased, cracking the smallest of smiles.

"It wouldn't hurt to at least try to be friends with her," Gen said, "You're going to be spending the rest of your lives together," she let that settle into Jensen's mind. With Y/N and Dani mated and Dani and Jensen married, the three of them were going to have to learn to live together. He didn't want to admit that she was right, but she was.

Jensen stumbled into the house, yanking his keys from the door and trying to quietly shut and lock it behind him. A few hours and drinks later and he walked back home, Jared's house not far from his own.

He was grateful they sat and talked it out with him. When he first left, he wasn't sure if his marriage would last. Now at least he felt confident enough to come back home. He tried not to think of them likely cuddling and asleep upstairs.

Deciding he needed some water before passing out, he made his way to the kitchen. He almost didn't see Y/N sitting at the island with her own bottle of water.

"What are you doing down here?" Jensen asked, his tone tired and gentle as he retrieved his own bottle. He tossed the cap, taking several gulps before leaning back against the counter.

"Just got thirsty," she said, showing him the bottle. They both drank in awkward silence for a while.

"I don't hate you," Jensen finally spoke. Y/N's head popped up in surprise, "I don't really like you very much right now," he added, "But we're gonna have to try to get along, for Dani's sake.

"Jay-"

"My name's Jensen," he nearly growled out, "Jay's not for you."

"Jensen? Really?" Y/N chuckled, seeing him getting riled once more, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry."

"Is she okay?" he asked after another long pause between them.

"She's asleep," Y/N said, "She wasn't so great after you left. We laid together in the guest room for a while, but then she went back to her room I guess," she shrugged, but Jensen knew that had to hurt her.

He wanted to be happy about that, but he found he was only saddened by the rift between them. New mates were supposed to rejoice in their bond and Jensen had to go and ruin that with his tantrum.

"I'm gonna head to bed," Y/N hopped off the stool and tossed her empty bottle in the recycling, "You should go check on Dani," she offered as a final word before retreating upstairs. Jensen heard the guest room door click closed and he sighed.

He finished off his own water before heading upstairs into his bedroom. Dani was asleep on the bed in her usual spot and it made him smile. He stripped off his layers before climbing in bed behind her. She stirred and turned towards him, her eyes fluttering open.

"Jay?"

"Yeah, it's me," he said, accepting the desperate kiss she gave him, reciprocating in kind. They wordlessly settled into the bed and fell to sleep, both silently worrying over the Omega in the other room.

Bamby’s Recs: Aug 2018

This Month’s Recommendations Are…

Feathers by @acreativelydifferentlove

I don’t really get into wing kink, but holy poo this was hot!! Michael!Alpha!Dean x Omega!Reader anyone?? 💙

Heal by @kittenofdoomage

A heartfelt and angsty series that’ll rip your heart out. But don’t worry, Jensen is right there for you 💙

Objectified by @covered-byroses

I didn’t ask for this delicious Soulless!Sam x Reader x Demon!Dean work of art... but I’m 100% thankful for it 💙

Save Him by @kittenofdoomage

Some how she’s managed to do it again. A three piece fic full to the brim of angst, smut, fluff and tooth-biting suspense 💙

Tattoo with a Twist by @crispychrissy

Dean trusting her to that point... jeez that's hot 💙

The Edge of Okay by @shy-violet-soul

I didn’t actually read the fic. Still, they reached out to me with a PM and asked me to read their work, and when I explained why I couldn’t they were very understanding, so I still wanted to add them to this list 💙

The Perfect Storm by @crispychrissy

Alpha!Soulless!Sam by crispychrissy, do I need to say anymore?? 💙

The Taboo is in the Blood by @iavengesuperwholock

A Dean x sister!Reader and Sam x sister!Reader that I absolutely love. Hell, the whole Masterlist is incredible 💙

You Know Better by @xteenwolfwritingsx

A Peter hale x Reader fic that I fell in love with last year. It was updated for the first time in ages this month, and I legit squealed like a little girl I got so excited 💙

In Celebration of Appreciation Day This Month...

@acreativelydifferentlove

Can’t Fight Fate has got to be one of the best RPF ABO fics I have ever read. There’s the intense smut straight off the bat, and then you’re hit with immense angst. Only to find yourself smothered by all the fluff. Is there anything acreativelydifferenlove can’t do?? 💙

@cleverdame

My go-to Alpha!Sam!girl. There are far too many amazing pieces to pick from, but I would have to say that one of my all time faves of hers (which isn’t even ABO) is By Way of Celestial Navigation. The little bit of smut in the fic so far is incredibly hot, and the rest has you sitting on the edge of your seat in anticipation for what’s to come 💙

@covered-byroses

I only discovered their work this month, and I’ve already recommended Objectified, but that doesn’t mean I’m not giving them another shout out because that fic was amazing 💙

@crispychrissy

Two word- Tentacle. Porn. No, I’m kidding!! I mean, I’m not. She really does have an amazing smut fic with some tentacle action going on- it’s called Octo-Dean. But she has a lot of amazing fics. Considering the two of us are pretty much on the same level of fussy, it really shouldn’t be a surprise that I love her work 💙

@emilyevanston

My go-to Bucky!girl. I haven’t read a lot of her stuff, because I’ve only dipped my toe into the Marvel universe, but her fic Skin Contact is so good. Memorable, honestly 💙

@evansrogerskitten

There are several fics I could recommend, but out of all of them I have two favourites. Undiscovered- angsty and smutty, and a Winchester sandwich that breaks my heart while quickening my pulse. High For This- one of the few John fics that I actually like… probably because of all the delicious Sam and Dean action we get as well. The masterlist is filled with incredible pieces, done by an amazing person, but these two I just can’t shake… and I wouldn’t have it any other way 💙

@flames-bring-a-ton-of-ash

One of my OG girls!! Her fic Irresistible Danger is one of the reasons I found myself on this site. Her fic Underneath Your Skin is the reason I fell for Peter Hale. A fiercely talented woman who write for many fandoms and is perfection on every level, there is no way I couldn’t add her to this list 💙

@iavengesuperwholock

We’ve got Supernatural, Teen Wolf, Marvel... so many fandoms, so many awesome fics. A couple faves of mine?? Definitely have to be Taboo in the Blood and A Man’s Control, A Beast’s Obsession, just to name a couple 💙

@ilostmyshoe-79

Her series, Writing is Hard, breaks the fourth wall in ways I never imagined possible. The reader is a hunter who reads fanfics based on her and the brother, only to then have Dean suggest they write their own fics… which leads to ten incredible chapters of mind blowing smut. Don’t even get me started on her series Faking It!! Or The Escort!! Everything she writes is… just wow 💙

@impala-dreamer

A legend in the Supernatural fanfic fandom, impala-dreamer is by far one of the best writers I have ever come across. There is nothing she can’t write, and very little she won’t. If I need to cry, laugh or smile, her masterlist is the place to go. But, out of them all, I would definitely have to say that Reflection is my fave fic of hers 💙

@jessieinthewild

New to the Tumblr world, they’ve already made their mark. Strange Empire‘s plot is so different, so creative, so out of the box. I know Jessie has been off line for a bit, but I’m still happily waiting for see what happens next 💙

@kas-not-cas

If you haven’t read Shocking Sensations, you need to jump on that immediately. There are a few fics in her masterlist that catch the eye, especially Flirting with Death, which I hope she gets back to. But I understand the hiatus, and have no intention on rushing her, because work this amazing takes time 💙

@kellyn1604

Another one of the people that brought me to this site. If it wasn’t for her fic Sunny Days I don’t think I would have ventured from ff.net and come here. Her writing opened up doors I’d never thought to touch before. I thank the universe for giving us JDM, because without him I don’t know if I would have come across kellyn1604 and her amazingly written smut 💙

@kittenofdoomage

Honestly... here’s the link to her Masterlist, because there is no way I could pick out just one, two or three fics to link here. Everything, and I mean everything she writes is gold. I live for everything she creates 💙

@littlegreenplasticsoldier

“Yeah I Have a Great Dean” is, by far, the best dog!Dean fic I have ever read. The third part?? Holy shit!! Wouldn’t it be Nice? Was the first ABO fic I ever read. Seriously, her work is unique in the best way. She knows how to tell a story as if she were actually telling the story to you, face to face. It’s refreshing and amazing, like nothing I’ve seen before 💙

@moonlitskinwalker

Once more, another talented friend of mine, only this time it wasn’t so hard to pick a fave... Reluctant Trilogy drew me in for the smut, but had me coming back for more because of everything else. A fic that had a plot I wasn’t expecting, but I still fell for every single word 💙

@pink1031

Her fic, Dirty Little Secret, tested my boundaries. It helped push my limits. In the end that meant I got to enjoy a fic I would have otherwise forgone and I’m so grateful I decided to keep reading 💙

@saxxxology

Another Sam!girl who has some delicious ABO fics. I cannot go passed What You Need, False (Or Not) Positive or Celebrate Survival. Plus, totally not related to fics, but still very important... have you heard of @scentsfromthebunker?? The blog where you can actually buy scents inspired by people and things from Supernatural?? Yeah, this is the genius behind that gift from Chuck 💙

@sis-tafics

An inspiring human being and talented writer, sis-tafics is yet another queen when it comes to smut. Her fic, Our Little Secret, is the reason I decided to give reader inserts ago. Break a Little inspired me to break down the wall and write out of the box Omegas. She is incredible, truly something, and I am grateful for all her amazing works 💙

@squirrel-moose-winchester

I’m a little biased here, because she’s my friend, but that doesn’t make her any less talented. The Squirrel to my Moose, she has an amazing list of fics. My fave?? A Night to Remember 💙

@superprincesspea

The last of the OGs, one of the three women who brought me to Tumblr. Her series The Honey House shows a side to Negan that isn’t always brought to light. Knock almost lets me forget Simon’s terrible character development in the show. The way she writes characters we love and know makes it feel as if she’s made them herself, broken them up and made them her own. Absolutely amazing 💙

@teamfreewill-imagine

One of the first RPFs, especially centred around Jared, that I read. The first Gen fic I’ve read. I Know Your Wife (She Wouldn’t Mind) is one of those fics that... what’s the saying?? It’s a gift that keeps on giving 💙

@wheresthekillswitch

I still can’t get over Smoulder. That’s where my obsession for thigh riding began, and I refuse to look back!! There are plenty of other incredible fics on their masterlist, which I strongly encourage everyone to read 💙

@xteenwolfwritingsx

You Know Better was the first Peter Hale series I fell in love with, and the fic that brought me to this incredible Teen Wolf writer. Seriously excited to see where the fic goes 💙

@yourvoiceislikearose

My bestie!! Just beginning to write, she’s testing the waters to see what she likes to write, but no matter what she does it’s all good. Her first go at smut, You Owe Me?? I wouldn’t have even known it was her first if she hadn’t told me. A budding writer I look forward to see blossom 💙

Not to Toot My Own Horn…

Bamby’s Double Delight

The pairing drabbles for my 2000 follower celebration 💙

Can You Feel It?

My submission for @sis-tafics‘ challenge 💙

Angelina’s Best of May

This month was a little rough on me work wise, so if I missed something, I am so sorry! As I get busier at work, this may evolve into something else, but we will see what happens (I am open to suggestions via ask). Thank you to all the amazing writings that grace us each and every day with their talents!

Feel free to tag me in your works, but please be aware that I do not rec everything I read and sometimes the tags just don’t work. I am trying something a little new this month and that is a spotlight, meaning if I could only rec one or two fics this month for y’all to read, what would it be - catch it at the end. Sorry this got a little long! Not really sorry ;)

If you follow her and have read anything Nicole has written, you already know she has a beautiful gift for fluff, among other things. Although I love 99.99% of what she has written, this piece really took me back to why I fell in love with her writing in the first place and is probably the best piece I have read all year. Do yourself a favor and go read it. If you are not following her, do that too; stalk her master list (totally worth calling in sick for!) and let yourself get pulled into the world she creates through her words.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~yeah, I know, I couldn’t decide one just one!

Into The Mystic (series - link to masterlist) @tankcupcakes (Dean x Evelyn OC)

My dear @tankcupcakes has written much Supernatural Fanfiction, but her first series, Thunder Road, blew me away. I have been fortunate enough to develop a relationship with this amazing woman outside of Tumblr and was humbled (and very giddy) when she asked for some feedback for the sequel, Into The Mystic. If I thought Thunder Road was good, this sequel is fucking amazing! I absolutely cannot wait for more chapters. If you are not following this gem, go do it; she is totally worth it. If you have not read Thunder Road and Into The Mystic, what are you doing with your time? I know there are a ton of blogs out there for you to follow and before you know it, you are following more than 300 blogs, but add @tankcupcakes to your list; you won’t regret it!

BOOK OF JOB - From The Douay-Rheims Bible - Latin Vulgate

Chapter 10

The Book of Job shows how human affairs are ruled by Divine Providence using probable arguments.

"Although you hide these things in your heart, I know that you still remember everything." - (Job speaking to God)

***

INTRODUCTION.

This Book takes its name from the holy man, of whom it treats; who, according to the more probable opinion, was of the race of Esau, and the same as Jobab, king of Edom, mentioned Gen. xxxvi. 33. It is uncertain who was the writer of it. Some attribute it to Job himself; others to Moses, or some one of the prophets. In the Hebrew it is written in verse, from the beginning of the third chapter to the forty-second chapter. Ch. --- The beginning and conclusion are historical, and in prose. Some have divided this work into a kind of tragedy, the first act extending to C. xv., the second to C. xxii., the third to C. xxxviii., where God appears, and the plot is unfolded. They suppose that the sentiments of the speakers are expressed, though not their own words. This may be very probable: but the opinion of those who look upon the work as a mere allegory, must be rejected with horror. The sacred writers speak of Job as of a personage who had really existed, (C.) and set the most noble pattern of virtue, and particularly of patience. Tob. ii. 12. Ezec. xiv. 14. Jam. v. 11. Philo and Josephus pass over this history, as they do those of Tobias, Judith, &c. H. --- The time when Job lived is not clearly ascertained. Some have supposed (C.) that he was a contemporary with Esther; (D. Thalmud) on which supposition, the work is here placed in its chronological order. But Job more probably live during the period when the Hebrews groaned under the Egyptian bondage, (H.) or sojourned in the wilderness. Num. xiv. 9. The Syrians place the book at the head of the Scriptures. C. --- Its situation has often varied, and is of no great importance. The subject which is here treated, is of far more; as it is intended to shew that the wicked sometimes prosper, while the good are afflicted. H. --- This had seldom been witnessed before the days of Abraham: but as God had now selected his family to be witnesses and guardians of religion, a new order of things was beginning to appear. This greatly perplexed Job himself; who, therefore, confesses that he had not sufficiently understood the ways of God, till he had deigned to explain them in the parable of the two great beasts. C. xlii. 3. We cannot condemn the sentiments expressed by Job, since God has declared that they were right, (ib. v. 8) and reprimands Elihu, (C. xxxviii. 2.) and the other three friends of Job, for maintaining a false opinion, though, from the history of past times, they had judge it to be true. This remark may excupate them from the stain of wilful lying, and vain declamation. Houbigant. --- However, as they assert what was false, their words of themselves are of no authority; and they are even considered as the forerunners of heretics. S. Greg. S. Aug. &c. T. --- Job refutes them by sound logic. S. Jerom. --- We may discover in this book the sum of Christian morality, (W.) for which purpose it has been chiefly explained by S. Gregory. The style is very poetical, (H.) though at the same time simple, like that of Moses. D. --- It is interspersed with many Arabic and Chaldaic idioms; (S. Jer.) whence some have concluded, that it was written originally by Job and his friends (H.) in Arabic, and translated into Heb. by Moses, for the consolation of his brethren. W. --- The Heb. text is in many places incorrect; (Houbig.) and the Sept. seem to have omitted several verses. Orig. --- S. Jerom says almost eight hundred, (C.) each consisting of about six words. H. --- Shultens, in 1747, expressed his dissatisfaction with the labours of all preceding commentators. To explain this book may not therefore be an easy task: but we must be as short as possible. H. --- Those who desire farther information, may consult Pineda, (W.) whose voluminous work, in two folios, will nearly (H.) give all necessary information. C.

The additional Notes in this Edition of the New Testament will be marked with the letter A. Such as are taken from various Interpreters and Commentators, will be marked as in the Old Testament. B. Bristow, C. Calmet, Ch. Challoner, D. Du Hamel, E. Estius, J. Jansenius, M. Menochius, Po. Polus, P. Pastorini, T. Tirinus, V. Bible de Vence, W. Worthington, Wi. Witham. — The names of other authors, who may be occasionally consulted, will be given at full length.

Verses are in English and Latin.

HAYDOCK CATHOLIC BIBLE COMMENTARY

This Catholic commentary on the Old Testament, following the Douay-Rheims Bible text, was originally compiled by Catholic priest and biblical scholar Rev. George Leo Haydock (1774-1849). This transcription is based on Haydock's notes as they appear in the 1859 edition of Haydock's Catholic Family Bible and Commentary printed by Edward Dunigan and Brother, New York, New York.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

Changes made to the original text for this transcription include the following:

Greek letters. The original text sometimes includes Greek expressions spelled out in Greek letters. In this transcription, those expressions have been transliterated from Greek letters to English letters, put in italics, and underlined. The following substitution scheme has been used: A for Alpha; B for Beta; G for Gamma; D for Delta; E for Epsilon; Z for Zeta; E for Eta; Th for Theta; I for Iota; K for Kappa; L for Lamda; M for Mu; N for Nu; X for Xi; O for Omicron; P for Pi; R for Rho; S for Sigma; T for Tau; U for Upsilon; Ph for Phi; Ch for Chi; Ps for Psi; O for Omega. For example, where the name, Jesus, is spelled out in the original text in Greek letters, Iota-eta-sigma-omicron-upsilon-sigma, it is transliterated in this transcription as, Iesous. Greek diacritical marks have not been represented in this transcription.

Footnotes. The original text indicates footnotes with special characters, including the astrisk (*) and printers' marks, such as the dagger mark, the double dagger mark, the section mark, the parallels mark, and the paragraph mark. In this transcription all these special characters have been replaced by numbers in square brackets, such as [1], [2], [3], etc.

Accent marks. The original text contains some English letters represented with accent marks. In this transcription, those letters have been rendered in this transcription without their accent marks.

Other special characters.

Solid horizontal lines of various lengths that appear in the original text have been represented as a series of consecutive hyphens of approximately the same length, such as ---.

Ligatures, single characters containing two letters united, in the original text in some Latin expressions have been represented in this transcription as separate letters. The ligature formed by uniting A and E is represented as Ae, that of a and e as ae, that of O and E as Oe, and that of o and e as oe.

Monetary sums in the original text represented with a preceding British pound sterling symbol (a stylized L, transected by a short horizontal line) are represented in this transcription with a following pound symbol, l.

The half symbol (1/2) and three-quarters symbol (3/4) in the original text have been represented in this transcription with their decimal equivalent, (.5) and (.75) respectively.

Unreadable text. Places where the transcriber's copy of the original text is unreadable have been indicated in this transcription by an empty set of square brackets, [].

Chapter 10

Job lements his afflictions and begs to be delivered.

[1] My soul is weary of my life, I will let go my speech against myself, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

Taedet animam meam vitae meae; dimittam adversum me eloquium meum, loquar in amaritudine animae meae.

[2] I will say to God: Do not condemn me: tell me why thou judgest me so.

Dicam Deo : Noli me condemnare; indica mihi cur me ita judices.

[3] Doth it seem good to thee that thou shouldst calumniate me, and oppress me, the work of thy own hands, and help the counsel of the wicked?

Numquid bonum tibi videtur, si calumnieris me, et opprimas me opus manuum tuarum, et consilium impiorum adjuves?

[4] Hast thou eyes of flesh: or, shalt thou see as man seeth?

Numquid oculi carnei tibi sunt? aut sicut videt homo, et tu videbis?

[5] Are thy days as the days of man, and are thy years as the times of men:

Numquid sicut dies hominis dies tui, et anni tui sicut humana sunt tempora,

[6] That thou shouldst inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?

ut quaeras iniquitatem meam, et peccatum meum scruteris,

[7] And shouldst know that I have done no wicked thing, whereas there is no man that can deliver out of thy hand.

et scias quia nihil impium fecerim, cum sit nemo qui de manu tua possit eruere?

[8] Thy hands have made me, and fashioned me wholly round about, and dost thou thus cast me down headlong on a sudden?

Manus tuae fecerunt me, et plasmaverunt me totum in circuitu; et sic repente praecipitas me?

[9] Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and thou wilt bring me into dust again.

Memento, quaeso, quod sicut lutum feceris me, et in pulverem reduces me.

[10] Hast thou not milked me as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

Nonne sicut lac mulsisti me, et sicut caseum me coagulasti?

[11] Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh: thou hast put me together with bones and sinews:

Pelle et carnibus vestisti me; ossibus et nervis compegisti me.

[12] Thou hast granted me life and mercy, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

Vitam et misericordiam tribuisti mihi, et visitatio tua custodivit spiritum meum.

[13] Although thou conceal these things in thy heart, yet I know that thou rememberest all things.

Licet haec celes in corde tuo, tamen scio quia universorum memineris.

[14] If I have sinned and thou hast spared me for an hour: why dost thou not suffer me to be clean from my iniquity?

Si peccavi, et ad horam pepercisti mihi, cur ab iniquitate mea mundum me esse non pateris?

[15] And if I be wicked, woe unto me: and if just, I shall not lift up my head, being filled with affliction and misery.

Et si impius fuero, vae mihi est; et si justus, non levabo caput, saturatus afflictione et miseria.

[16] And for pride thou wilt take me as a lioness, and returning thou tormentest me wonderfully.

Et propter superbiam quasi leaenam capies me, reversusque mirabiliter me crucias.

[17] Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and multipliest thy wrath upon me, and pains war against me.

Instauras testes tuos contra me, et multiplicas iram tuam adversum me, et poenae militant in me.

[18] Why didst thou bring me forth out of the womb: O that I had been consumed that eye might not see me!

Quare de vulva eduxisti me? qui utinam consumptus essem, ne oculus me videret!

[19] I should have been as if I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.

Fuissem quasi non essem, de utero translatus ad tumulum.

[20] Shall not the fewness of my days be ended shortly? suffer me, therefore, that I may lament my sorrow a little:

Numquid non paucitas dierum meorum finietur brevi? Dimitte ergo me, ut plangam paululum dolorem meum;

[21] Before I go, and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death:

antequam vadam, et non revertar, ad terram tenebrosam, et opertam mortis caligine :

[22] A land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror dwelleth.

terram miseriae et tenebrarum, ubi umbra mortis et nullus ordo : sed sempiternus horror inhabitat.

Commentary:

Ver. 1. Life. Job had intimated a fear to proceed any farther. C. --- But perceiving that he had not convinced his friends, he continues his discourse (H.) in still stronger terms, yet so as to acknowledge the justice of God. C. --- Speech against. Heb. "complaint upon, (H.) or respecting myself," I will deplore my misfortunes, (C.) or I will say no more about them. M.

Ver. 2. Judgest. Heb. "contendest with me," as with an enemy? Is it to punish some fault, or only to make thy grace shine forth? C.

Ver. 3. Calumniate permissively, by treating me in such a manner, that others lay false crimes to my charge. Heb. "oppress and despise the work." --- Wicked, who are ready enough (H.) to assert that virtue is useless, (C.) and that God mindeth not human affairs. My affliction will confirm them in their false notion, (H.) and my friends will triumph as if their arguments were well founded. The devil will also exult. C. --- He knew that God could not be guilty of calumny, and inquireth why he is afflicted. W.

Ver. 4. Seeth, judging only of the exterior. T. v. 6.

Ver. 5. Days, sometimes denote judgments. 1 Cor. iv. 3. Is God liable to change, like men, or does he stand in need of time to examine them, or fear lest they should escape? C. --- Is it necessary for him to prove his friends, to know their real dispositions? Sanctius.

Ver. 7. Shouldst. Heb. and Sept. "Thou knowest that...and there," &c. H. --- It would be vain for me to appeal to any other. C.

Ver. 8. Sudden, like a potter's vessel? Job was reduced to misery all at once. C. --- He acknowledges that God may destroy him as his creature; but that character encourages him to hope for mercy, grace, and glory. W.

Ver. 10. Milked. Heb. "poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?" H. --- See Wisd. vii. 1. The ancients explained our origin by the comparison of milk curdled, or cheese; (Arist. i. 10. Pliny vii. 15.) which the moderns have explained on more plausible principles. C. --- Yet still we may acknowledge our ignorance with the mother of Machabees. 2 Mac. vii. 22.

Ver. 12. Thy fatherly visitation (H.) but still preserved my life. C.

Ver. 13. Rememberest. Sept. "canst do all things." Heb. "this is with thee." H. --- I am convinced that thou still regardest me with affection, though it would appear as if thou hadst forgotten me. C.

Ver. 14. Iniquity? Punishing me for the sins which seemed to be pardoned. C. --- Heb. "If I sin, then thou makest me, and wilt not suffer; (H.) or if thou hast not pardoned my iniquity: (15) And," &c. C.

Ver. 15. Woe. Thou wilt not suffer me to pass unpunished. C. --- Head. I will adore in silence. C. ix. 15. 31. Ven. Bede. C.

Ver. 16. Pride. If I give way to pride, thou wilt pull me down, though I were as fierce and strong as a lioness. Heb. "for it (affliction) increaseth. Thou huntest me." Prot. --- Returning. Heb. and Sept. "again." H.

Ver. 17. Witnesses, afflictions; (M.) "wounds." Pagnin. T.

virgowuwuuuww szn

The "V" that rules 'em all nga ba? EMS.

And just like that, Leo szn is done, done, done, doooone. Hello, Virgo! You crazy little shit. Why so? My brother and the elder cousin I grew up with are both Virgins. HAHAHA. Kaya pareho silang traditional, calculated, and wait for it... in the loop lagi sa mga chizmiz, pero nahuhuli din sa nagbabagang mga balita.

Both of them dream of having families with kids included since our childhood days, dhzai. I usually find myself crazy when I hear them speak about it kasi wtf talaga. They both love Disney and mainstream mushy movies both local and international ones. Kadire. Hahahahaha. I guess they're super romantic BUT may shields or armors and gusto nila sinusuyo. Lekat pulikat. The newest Virgo babe in my hood is 'yung anak-anakan kong new breed from no less than the Gen Alpha group. But wait, ulit... kabirthday niya kapatid kong pakitong-kitong and legit, super magkatakada sila to the tune of bahala kayo sa buhay n'yo 'pag nag-moody ako kahit saan, kahit kailan.

Side Kwento: 'Tong nanay at tatay nitong si T (Virgo Alpha Kid) natatawa sa akin kasi kalmado si T 'pag kami magka-holding hands while walking. Hahahahaha. Very possessive siya, mhiemah, pero ganun din kapatid ko. Para lang akong nasa Prep ulit tapos may karay-karay na batang bubwit na need lang ng deep and full focus. Yes. Deep and full... at mahirap 'to sa taong tulad ko na laging aligaga, pero oks lang kasi limited time naman interactions namin ni T. And in fairness sa kanya, very sweet siya in a demure and mindful kuno way basta 'wag mo lang babaling atensyon mo sa ibang bata. Hahahahaha.

Moody ako. Pero ang V's na mga 'to, moody minsan pero sobrang lala. Parang may hyperfixation sila na 'yung mood swing nila gigibain lahat. I remember this anak-anakan, si T, na pati dad ko naki-sali na sa 'pag manage ng mood swing na umaatikabo, pero hindi niya kinaya masyado. Syempre, as a boomer na progressive kuno, walang kurot na pinong-pino pero may gigil at may pagbabanta pa tatay ko to the tune of: 'Di ka mananalo sa akin. Sabay, bitbit sa bagets at hatid sa bahay while crying like there's no tomorrow. Lahat ng mood swing niya, inubos na niya for that day. Very much like my brother and my cousin. Siguro kasi minsan lang sila mag-short circuit kaya naman, 'wag mo ng hintaying mapadpad kayo doon.

Oks ba ako with Virgo peeps? Saks lang. Kahit naman anong zodiac, keriiii talaga pero may nuances lang. Gusto ng mga Virgo, chill lang pero 'yung may thought process-ish. Basta. Very calculating nga kasi sila kaya, maga-adjust ka talaga kasi kung ayaw mo, the cold treatment and a cold shoulder and the deaf ears, wala kasi silang pake 'pag 'di aligned sa "dreams" or "goals" or "gusto" nila and shit. LOL.

Pero, may redeeming factor ba ang mga Virgo? I think yes naman. Innate problem solvers sila. Tahimik lang most of the time pero may perpetual Marites vibes sila na may times, nakakatulong. Medyo, awkward din sila sa social spaces as introverts (kung introverts sila e) kasi nga, choosy sila sa mga kinakausap pero 'yun nga, chizmiz is life.

As an example, kapatid ko saka cousin ko, tawang-tawa ako kasi mala-Ogie Diaz modes sila 'pag may catch up. Ako kasi, talagang basura content break mode sa akin an local showbiz. Saka 'pag nagsuper trend sa online, doon lang ako nakikibalita. Etong dalawang 'to, aba, may complete timelines and side kwentos pa tapos may opinions pa sila na again, very traditional and very demure kuno. Ewan ko na lang kung very mindful. LOL. EMS.

Minsan pa, etong kapatid ko, tatawag na akala mo kung anong meron dis oras ng gabi. Tapos ang lapag is about XYZ content creator na merong issue na naman. Syempre, minsan patola ako kasi 'yun lang talaga itatawag niya pa 'di ba? Kaya sinasabihan ko siya na 'pag 'di ako nasagot sa call niya, message niya ako anong topic need niya i-raise so magka-pake ako accordingly.

The Virgins are super tough to dissect. Eto na po. Secretive kasi sila talaga to the point na, tacccaaaa. Takayoooooo sa lahat ng aspeto kasi ang dali namang magsabi ng nasa kalooban 'di ba lalo 'pag small circle mo. Pero no. No. No. Para silang mga em-ems na need mo talagang ukikilin ang kanilang mood, pake, at kaibuturan. I think because they are extremely loyal. Kung baga, mala-penguins ang gusto sa buhay lalo sa romantic relationships. Eto naaaa. Hahahahaha.

Hindi sila water signs so ang weird lang kasi 'di ba? Hopeless romantics sila to a fault. As in fault line from Carmona to kung saan mang shithole na baka maging sinkhole sa Pinas. JUSQ. Umay levels ng romanticizmmmmzzz netong mga 'to, kabogstra ang water signs. HAHAHAHAHHA. Kasi parang out of character-ish kung titignan mo. Kahit 'yung ibang Virgo purple peeps ko, may ganyan. Kadire. Hahahahaha. Isa 'tong topic or department na 'to na sobrang ugh for me, 'pag may Virgo. Kasi sobrang haykuuuuuuu levels na parang 'di nila kaya maging mag-isa. Hahahahahahaha. Co-dependent is the name of their game to a fault, ulit. LELS.

Hay. Kadire. Hahahahaha. Pero, as I come in peace, these V's are super OGs in my book. These legit old souls who usually dress in super duper basic drips are drippin' in "secret" liquid gold. Why so? If you want stability, clinginess is next to godliness, and just plain vanilla (na fave ko after matcha and pistachio and avocado), oks sila kasi chill lang. Homebuddies 'tong mga 'to e. Simple lang, pero maarte at maseselan din. Hala. Caring levels nila very practical na almost unnoticeable. Love language nila: TIME. Maraming time. Ubusan ka ng oras kahit ayaw mo na makita pagmumukha nila pati pagkatao nila. And syempre, for me na madaling ma-bored sa routine, in fairness naman, dahil sa kanila, sige, hala, bira tayo sa mga routines n'yong mala-ritwal na minsan parang may iaalay na birhen sa dambana. LOL. And sila rin, for me ulit, kahit katabi ko 'tong mga 'to na walang kibuan ng mga 2 oras or so, kahit sa Boracay pa, legit na I feel safe with them. OPAK. PASAVOUGESSSHHH. Kaya sige na, oks na Virgo, after all, after all this time. Always. EMS.

Pinaka ayoko lang dito sa mga 'to, hindi nila alam saan kakain. PAKSHET. Tapos, may vibe sila na, dapat aligned pa rin sa gusto nilang food, though, oks lang din sa kanila mag-try ng new food and drinks, pero vibe, mapili. Akala mo minsan mga anak nina Zeus and Hera. Ganern.

So what? Virgos, it's your szn. Own it and never fear that your sappy dreams will come together in time. Let's gowwwww! LUH.

AiAiAi Pug Ivig or is It Thug Igiv?

AI is a cure for the epidemic called loneliness 'di umano. Or, is it but another ano?

So eto na nga ang hindi super latest. Mo Gawdat and DOAC are chasing clouts again and again and again. Ang galawan? Training the sentient AI through voice. Opak. Ganern. Ang isang interesting na ganap ay mga teens na naglo-load ng mga conversations with the ex para magkaroon sila na AI jowabelles. Gen Alpha, beta ka talaga. Gen Z, kalma. Nakakagulat ba? I think not because online dating and online seggssss are but part of the hustle of kiddos these days. Walang mali, nasa flow na kung baga. Hindi ko rin sinasabing tama, 'di dahil play safe ako. Your body, your rules. Your space, your trace. I say... eto na. Ganun din naman boomers saka mga millennials na pak na pak ang demand for AI generated "jowa pro max" ++ with matching likes and comments and save and archive pa e. LOL. May trace pa sa public at times. In fairness ha! 'Yung mga models ng ibang fashion brands na alamin n'yo na lang kung anu-ano are fast-tracking drops through AI models vs real life models. I chanced upon AI muses (HAHAHAHA) the past months kasi nga nadapuan ako ng algo based sa podcast nina DOAC. Ang legit. 'Yung parang mutant na sila tapos alam mong AI sila pero damn, marionette levels... 1000000. Ganun. Free content pa. Even Only Fans top stars are shaking. I don't have any accounts ng mga ganito bilang sa erotica tayo and all roads lead back to the Delta of Venus. Bahala ka na lang kung pagtitiwalaan mo ang Book Sale copies because, you have been warned.

Sabi nga sa usapan nila DOAC na hindi overheard but juicy. May bearing naman na magka-AI jowa ang mga bagets kasi nga it's ganun talaga. Iba na ang panahon ngayon. For me, it's not about being cool. It's about how parents and grown ups help the kids and themselves na rin power through this very curious kagulo. Why am I saying these so early in the morning? Woke up early lang at pinulot ko poop ng bunso kong makulit. Plus, ang lala ng loneliness vibes these day and age. Kung nakakapag-travel lang ang cortisol levels ng generation na 'to, nakailang balik na tayo from Jupiter or Saturn in this lifetime and the next. I don't feel lonely naman in general, honestly. Lucky ako to have a strong and diverse small gone smaller circle since 2012. Gusto ko lang talagang maging on my own, pretending ___ beside me. Clue: MOM ko. Kung bibigyan ako ng chance, I will fucking take it. Have an AI version of my mom with her naturalesang kaingayan, ka-OC-han, ka-OA-an sa mga rules, at iba pa. Imagine: 530 AM, weekend, walang lakad: Anak, bangon na. Umaga na. Tara na. Hindi ka pa rin babangon? Ayaw mo pa ring kumilos? Me: Non-chalant. Mom ko: OA levels, attack hanggang paglalang niya sa akin sa mundong ito. Tapos ako pa masusunod anong frequency, reach at decibel. It's giving Be Right Back pero hindi malalang levels at hindi super mahal bilang naka-training mode pa ang mga AI na 'to now. Wala na akong pake for this one sa data privacy kasi honestly, it's mom's Second Life era. And mashe-share ko rin siya sa mga may gusto ng wagas na nanay sa buhay nila. However, syempre, halos walang digital footprint si mom as a non-camera, sungit girly. LOL. So, ano na? Delulu na kung delulu pero eto ang version ko ng quatum jump. Gamitin szn lang naman din ang AI era. And consumerist naman lahat ng mga tao. We all consume before our expiry dates. Simple. Walang salag. Pero, syempre, may kaakibat na balik 'yan. Mas malalang delulu? Possibly. Mas malalang spiral na parang sa Be Right Back? Check. Atbp. Pero, again, I will fucking take it, take it, take it all. Kahit 'di ako winner, ever. Not just because of nostalgia which is always bitter and biting and sweet in on gulp. But because, gusto ko lang may kabatuhan. I tried comparing my mom to other moms, pero isa lang talaga nanay e. Kahit spoiled ako ng mga nanay na nakakameet ko, alaws, par. Alaws. Oks naman sila, pero kamandag ng nanay ko, wild levels 100000. So, hindi ako makakapag-train ng AI, for now. Wala nga along voice message niya e. So, sayang talaga. Imagine, if may room full of videos, texts, and images ka, solb na solb na ang Second Life ng sino mang gusto mong maka-thing. Ikaw na bahala mag-define what ka-thing means. 'Di ba? Nakaka-brain freeze kahit walang ice cream sa melon pan. CHZ. My soul sis and I are actually thinking whether we'll CTRL + ALT + DEL our Tumblrista kaganapans na puro naman walang kwentang content. Ses: AI landed on Tumblr. Me: Okay. Tapos? Ses: Sa kanila na lahat ng stories. Me: Let the bards go barding in. Let the Gemini rule the twelve kingdoms. Let the Bing binge. Let GPT be a charming G*stapowowowowow mala Coco Chanel, mhie. Welcome to the Other Side! Ses: ... Me: ... Eto kasi take ko, puwede naman i-CTRL + ALT + DEL. Pero it's super sus na hindi magli-leak itong mga pakawala sa Tumblr like the rest of the non-analog world 'di ba? Saka dahil nga delulu ako, I think oks lang naman i-pass on ko 'to sa chose few like my Gen Z 4th anak-anakan. Mas mage-gets niya. Literal na my sins are more than scarlet letters emerut. Saka goal ko lang is 'wag niya akong tuluran. Puwede rin 'tong space na 'to sa pamangkin kong McQueen para may pang-tanggal aburido siya when he grows up. 'Di rin siya about legacy kasi wala naman sa book ko 'yan. 'Di bagay. Wala rin namang profound stuff dito maliban sa deep dive ng mga kashitan, katangahan, kalandian, atbp. Talagang nasa pang-aliw-aliw lang for the audience of one.

Seriously though, ito kasi 'yung time na naniniwala akong mas importante ang kwento na may totoong hugot. Hindi 'yung masabi lang. Mashare lang. Marepost lang. Ito 'yung time na tatanong mo sa sarili mo, ano ba ang voice mo? At gaano mo kakapitan 'yang unique and flawed and fucked up voice na 'yan kasi iyo lang 'yan? 'Di siya madali pero ano bang madali ngayon maliban sa umayaw sa earth na 'di rin super dali, if may mga voices inside you na mala-Joy-Ennui-atbp. on good days and meh days. Saan mo ba gustong dalhin ka as a mutant powered by AI tools na sentient beings na kahit 'di pa raw tayo andun? Siguro, dahil favorite ko Her forever. It's hauntingly beautiful pero sad na tagos bilang reality siya. Plus Joaquin Phoenix is my cup of Ventea since Gladiator original version from Video City. May discount pa since client ni dad 'yung branch sa South. Tapos apaka uggghh kasi 'yung counterpart nito ay Lost in Translation. Search mo na lang connection ng movies na 'to sa suking Google Search 'pag may time ka. Mejj very meh lang ng plot ng Lost in Translation kasi out of touch siya pero gets 'yung subtext. Again OA sa orientalismmmmmm. Saka chixx ng bida plus the voice is giving *chef's kiss*. Hahaha.

So... CTRL + ALT + DEL ko na ba 'tong account na 'to? Abangan ang susunod na mood swing pakawala. Paalam muna.

Chapter 9

Job acknowledges God's justice: although He often afflicts the innocent.

[1] And Job answered, and said:

Et respondens Job, ait :

[2] Indeed I know it is so, and that man cannot be justified compared with God.

Vere scio quod ita sit, et quod non justificetur homo compositus Deo.

[3] If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one for a thousand.

Si voluerit contendere cum eo, non poterit ei respondere unum pro mille.

[4] He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath resisted him, and hath had peace?

Sapiens corde est, et fortis robore : quis restitit ei, et pacem habuit?

[5] Who hath removed mountains, and they whom he overthrew in his wrath, knew it not.

Qui transtulit montes, et nescierunt hi quos subvertit in furore suo.

[6] Who shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

Qui commovet terram de loco suo, et columnae ejus concutiuntur.

[7] Who commandeth the sun and it riseth not: and shutteth up the stars as it were under a seal:

Qui praecipit soli, et non oritur, et stellas claudit quasi sub signaculo.

[8] Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and walketh upon the waves of the sea.

Qui extendit caelos solus, et graditur super fluctus maris.

[9] Who maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and Hyades, and the inner parts of the south.

Qui facit Arcturum et Oriona, et Hyadas et interiora austri.

[10] Who doth things great and incomprehensible, and wonderful, of which there is no number.

Qui facit magna, et incomprehensibilia, et mirabilia, quorum non est numerus.

[11] If he come to me, I shall not see him: if he depart I shall not understand.

Si venerit ad me, non videbo eum; si abierit, non intelligam.

[12] If he examine on a sudden, who shall answer him? or who can say: Why dost thou so?

Si repente interroget, quis respondebit ei? vel quis dicere potest : Cur ita facis?

[13] God, whose wrath no man can resist, and under whom they stoop that bear up the world.

Deus, cujus irae nemo resistere potest, et sub quo curvantur qui portant orbem.

[14] What am I then, that I should answer him, and have words with him?

Quantus ergo sum ego, ut respondeam ei, et loquar verbis meis cum eo?

[15] I, who although I should have any just thing, would not answer, but would make supplication to my judge.

Qui, etiam si habuero quippiam justum, non respondebo : sed meum judicem deprecabor.

[16] And if he should hear me when I call, I should not believe that he had heard my voice.

Et cum invocantem exaudierit me, non credo quod audierit vocem meam.

[17] For he shall crush me in a whirlwind, and multiply my wounds even without cause.

In turbine enim conteret me, et multiplicabit vulnera mea, etiam sine causa.

[18] He alloweth not my spirit to rest, and he filleth me with bitterness.

Non concedit requiescere spiritum meum, et implet me amaritudinibus.

[19] If strength be demanded, he is most strong: if equity of judgment, no man dare bear witness for me.

Si fortitudo quaeritur, robustissimus est; si aequitas judicii, nemo audet pro me testimonium dicere.

[20] If I would justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I would shew myself innocent, he shall prove me wicked.

Si justificare me voluero, os meum condemnabit me; si innocentem ostendero, pravum me comprobabit.

[21] Although I should be simple, even this my soul shall be ignorant of, and I shall be weary of my life.

Etiam si simplex fuero, hoc ipsum ignorabit anima mea, et taedebit me vitae meae.

[22] One thing there is that I have spoken, both the innocent and the wicked he consumeth.

Unum est quod locutus sum : et innocentem et impium ipse consumit.

[23] If he scourge, let him kill at once, and not laugh at the pains of the innocent.

Si flagellat, occidat semel, et non de poenis innocentum rideat.

[24] The earth is given into the hand of the wicked, he covereth the face of the judges thereof: and if it be not he, who is it then?

Terra data est in manus impii, vultum judicum ejus operit. Quod si non ille est, quis ergo est?

[25] My days have been swifter than a post: they have fled away and have not seen good.

Dies mei velociores fuerunt cursore; fugerunt, et non viderunt bonum.

[26] They have passed by as ships carrying fruits, as an eagle flying to the prey.

Pertransierunt quasi naves poma portantes, sicut aquila volans ad escam.

[27] If I say: I will not speak so: I change my face, and am tormented with sorrow.

Cum dixero : Nequaquam ita loquar, commuto faciem meam, et dolore torqueor.

[28] I feared all my works, knowing that thou didst not spare the offender.

Verebar omnia opera mea, sciens quod non parceres delinquenti.

[29] But if so also I am wicked, why have I laboured in vain?

Si autem et sic impius sum, quare frustra laboravi?

[30] If I be washed as it were with snow waters, and my hands shall shine ever so clean:

Si lotus fuero quasi aquis nivis, et fulserit velut mundissimae manus meae,

[31] Yet thou shalt plunge me in filth, and my garments shall abhor me,

tamen sordibus intinges me, et abominabuntur me vestimenta mea.

[32] For I shall not answer a man that is like myself: nor one that may be heard with me equally in judgment.

Neque enim viro qui similis mei est, respondebo; nec qui mecum in judicio ex aequo possit audiri.

[33] There is none that may be able to reprove both, and to put his hand between both.

Non est qui utrumque valeat arguere, et ponere manum suam in ambobus.

[34] Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me.

Auferat a me virgam suam, et pavor ejus non me terreat.

[35] I will speak, and will not fear him: for I cannot answer while I am in fear.

Loquar, et non timebo eum; neque enim possum metuens respondere.

Commentary:

Ver. 2. God. Job answers both his friends, and with admirable humility acknowledges that in God's sight he is full of defects; but not of such a nature as to fall (C.) under the cognizance of man. I am not conscious to myself of anything; but...God is the judge. 1 Cor. iv. 4. H.

Ver. 3. Thousand. Ps. cxlii. 2. "Woe even to the praise-worthy life of man, if God judge without mercy." S. Aug. H.

Ver. 4. Resisted. Heb. and Sept. "hardened himself against him."

Ver. 5. Removed, by earthquakes. Pliny ii. 83. C. --- In Calabria, 5th Feb. &c. 1783, during the most destructive and dreadful earthquake, a level valley was removed entire about a mile, and a hill, with the trees still growing, was projected down a declivity half a mile, and another above four miles. Sir W. Hamilton. --- Sept. "who makes the mountains grown old, and they know not who overturns them in his wrath." H. --- Kings and empires fall to ruin at his command. C.

Ver. 6. Pillars. These are represented as fixed in the waters. Prov. viii. 29. Ps. xxvii. 16. &c.

Ver. 7. Seal. So that they appear not. He alludes (C.) to masters confining their servants with seals, before locks were invented. Macrob. vii. 3. --- From these noble effects of God's power, Job takes occasion to humble himself. C.

Ver. 8. Heavens, like a tent. Ps. ciii. 2. These nations lived under tents; (C.) and beholding the magnificent one which God had spread over the heads of alol, Job, in rapture, (H.) wonders that he should have created such a pavilion for his servants.

Ver. 9. Arcturus, &c. These are names of stars or constellations. In Hebrew, Hash, Cesil, and Cima. Ch. --- And chadre theman, (H.) the "bottom or seals of the south," which were to him invisible, being the Antarctic constellations. The ancients were acquainted only with these four, (Homr, Virg. Æn. iii. &c.) which denoted the four quarters and seasons. C. --- Ash, Arcturus, "the bear's tail," near the north pole, (H.) rules in autumn, when the year begins (C.) in Arabia. Cesil, (H.) or Orion, on the west, styled by astronomers "the heart of the scorpion," rises about the autumnal equinox, and presides over winter; (C.) and Cima, (H.) the Hyades, or the seven "rainy" stars, do over spring, the "pleasing" season, as Cima denotes, (C. xxxviii. 31.) when navigation commences. "The Seals of the south," designate summer. C. --- We must not, however, imagine that Job countenances poetical fables; (S. Jerom in Amos v. 8.) or that he called the constellations by these names, Arcturus, &c. C. --- Heb. "who makes the fire, the spirit, and the light," Cima. C. xxxviii. 31. H. --- The creation of these seems grander than the making of any constellation, and all the stars had been asserted to be the work of God, v. 7. What connection is there between the names assigned by the Rabbins and the Heb. terms? R. Abraham observes that the last is "a northern star, causing heat, and producing fruit." Parkhurst. --- The Arabs were convinced of the influence of the stars; (C. xxxviii. 31.) and living under a sky generally without clouds, could easily observe them. Roger. ii. 2. and 15. --- Sanchez asserts, that the peasants in Spain can point out the stars by name. C. --- Inner. Prot. "the chambers." They agree with the Vulg. in the other names. Sept. "who makes the Pleiads, and Hesper, and Arcturus, and the store-rooms of the south? H. --- They are styled inner with respect to us, who cannot see them.

Ver. 11. Understand, as he is a spirit; (M.) and not that God is changeable, but his works and judgments are above our comprehension, and we are always liable to change. Hence the proud erroneously think themselves to be in favour; while the humble, on the contrary, keep at a distance, and still sue for pardon, when their sins have been forgiven. Luke xviii. 13. Eccle. ii. 1. C.

Ver. 13. God. Prot. "If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him." Sept. "For he is not turned aside by wrath;" (or Rom. edit.) "God, whose anger cannot be averted," (H.) unless we repent: (C.) "under him the whales below heaven bend." H. --- Perhaps they may have had some notions, like the Rabbins, respecting Leviathan; and S. Jerom may have alluded to the fable of the giants placed under mountains; (Æn. iii. and ix. C.) or to Atalas propping the skies. H. --- World. Great heroes, (C.) Kings, (Pineda) angels, (M.) who move the spheres, (W.) or devils. Eph. vi. 12. Cajetan.

Ver. 14. What? Heb. "Much less shall I answer him, choosing even my words with him." H. --- This is the conclusion from the display of God's power. C. --- No eloquence will persuade him. H. --- Though not conscious of any sin, Job will not justify himself (1 Cor. iv. W.) before God. H.

Ver. 16. Voice. So much am I beneath his notice. How unjust were the aspersions of Job's friends, who accused him of presumption and blasphemy! C. --- No one ever spoke with greater humility (H.) and respect of God's absolute dominion. C. --- He will attribute nothing to his own prayers, as he is still in the dark. M.

Ver. 17. Without cause. That is, without my knowing the cause; or without any crime of mine. Ch. --- To argue from my afflictions, that I am a criminal, is unjust. C. ii. 3.

"Notions mistaken, reasonings ill apply'd,

And sophisms that conclude on either side." Pope, Pleasures, &c.

Ver. 19. Equity. Heb. "if judgment, who will appoint me a time," (H.) or "set me before him," and undertake my defence? Who will dare to sit as judge between us?

Ver. 20. Condemn me, as this conduct would appear presumptuous. C. --- Sept. "if I be just, my mouth will utter impiety," (H.) in declaring it. Olymp.

Ver. 21. Life, under this uncertainty and affliction. M.

Ver. 22. Consumeth. Eccle. ix. 2. H. --- This principle is incontrovertible. W. --- I do not retract it. M. --- The misery inflicted on the just, is not contrary to the goodness of the Almighty. Job perfectly discovered this truth, which puzzled his enlightened friends, and most of those who lived before Christ; (Ps. lxxii. 2. Jer. xii. 1. C.) and even Job himself was not fully convinced of the motives of the Providence, till God had explained them. Houbigant. C. xlii.

Ver. 23. Innocent. Having expressed his sentiments clearly, now he mentions what he could desire under the pressure of misery. M. --- Seeing the danger of falling, to which he was exposed, he begged to be delivered by death. We are taught by our Saviour to pray, Lead us not into temptation. Matt. vi. 13. God does not laugh at our sufferings, but he acts like a surgeon, and cuts without minding our complaints. Ridere Dei est humanæ nolle afflictioni misereri. S. Greg. C. --- Heb. "If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent." Prot. H.

Ver. 24. Wicked one, (H.) the devil, (M.) or any impious person who enjoys prosperity. He, (C.) or even God permissively, covered the face, (H.) by bribes; so that judges pass sentence unjustly. --- Then. If it be not the devil, (M.) or God. C.

Ver. 25. Good, of late. Heb. "they see no good."

Ver. 26. Carrying. Heb. lit. "of desire," belonging to one person, or full of goods, which he desires to carry quickly to market. M. --- Chal. agrees with us. But most interpreters var. Pagnin retains the original, ebe; (H.) supposing the rive Abeh, or Avah, is meant. It certainly implies expedition; "they have hastened like (C.) the eagle to its prey." Sept. "Is there any trace of ships, or of an eagle flying in quest of food?" H.

Ver. 27. Sorrow. I cannot entirely repress it. C. --- The more I strive, (H.) the greater is my pain. M.

Ver. 28. Works. Heb. "sorrows." I dread their increase, and fear impatience. Even in the midst of prosperity, Job offered sacrifice, lest the sins of his children should be laid to his charge.

Ver. 29. Vain. Why have I endeavoured to repress my grief in silence? God does not forbid us to complain, but only to murmur. C. --- Sept. "Since I am wicked, why did I not die?" H. --- Should a wretch be even suffered to live" S. Chrys.
