Hey people!
I'm 27M, live with my girlfriend and cats. I'm looking to make some new connections and hopefully find a long term friend or two along the way. Email would probably be best unless you're a fellow Australian but happy to send letters in the mail if that works logistically!
I love reading, all types of music, baseball, a bit of writing and gaming and recently started drawing (I am not very good). I've been getting into learning about the weather and space recently as well. Watch a lot of TV, all sorts of shows/movies and WWE occasionally.
I've battled a great deal of depression and anxiety the last several years and slowly been rebuilding myself again. I've only rediscovered my love for reading this year so I'd love to chat with someone who has a heap of great book recommendations, any genre is great.
Other than that, I don't mind where you live, your gender or what interests you have. Would love to hear all about what your passionate about and the interests & hobbies you enjoy. I'm autistic and bi so LGBTQ+ friendly.
Feel free to leave a comment to send me a message!

2024.05.29 02:28 These-Pick-968 Revisiting "Robin"

Revisiting
I’m a huge fan of the song Robin, and have enjoyed reading all of the various interpretations of this song. The song feels like such a mix of emotions to me! At first listen it sounds like a sweet song, almost a lullaby. But then the layers of meaning and nuance start filtering in. Then one realizes that “bloodthirsty” feels a bit…off. Every time I listen to it I get a different mix of feelings: hopeful, wistful, nostalgic, happy, sad, resentment, innocence, ominous. Sometimes all in the same listen.
Some of the various interpretations of possible meaning I’ve explored thru this song (as have many others here and on social media):
• Aaron Dessner’s son- a song about watching a child grow up and wanting to protect their innocence from the realities of the world
• Robin Williams- his child-like wonder but also his struggles with mental illness/dementia
• Robin Hood (I never really considered this angle)
• The Secret Garden- the robin shows Mary the key and door to the secret garden
• Robin Goodfellow/Puck- a fairy character who is known for being mischievous (also references back to Dead Poet's Society)
• Emily Dickinson poem “The Child’s Faith is New”- about how children eventually learn to see people for who they are rather than infallible beings (this also leads to a Dear Brutus and The Fault in Our Stars interpretation, and lamenting the alternative outcomes for our lives)
• The character Tiger Lilly in Peter Pan
• Cats (of course)
• Taylor talking to her younger self (calling herself a “tiger”) about the pitfalls of fame and hiding from her true (queer) self
• Taylor talking to her fans about “putting on an act” for them to keep them entertained even though she’s been putting her true (queer) self on hold
• Examining the dandelions in the lyrics video. Dandelions often represent childhood wonder, and sending “wishes off into to the world.” On the flip side they are also seen by many as weeds that are hard to control.
One interpretation of Robin that I almost immediately dismissed was Christopher Robin from Winnie the Pooh. It just seemed too...obvious. And I couldn’t make any connections with the story (besides “Tigger = Tiger”). But…
Perhaps it’s not the story of Winnie the Pooh itself that resonates with the song, but the real life story of Christopher Milne, the “real life Christopher Robin,” son of A.A. (Alan) Milne who authored the book. I don’t know if this story is one that Taylor would have heard of or seen, but I feel like there are some parallels to this story that might reflect aspects of Taylor’s life.
Christopher Milne outlines his experience in two autobiographies: The Enchanted Places and The Path Through the Trees. His story was captured in a book by Ann Thwaite, Goodbye Christopher Robin: A.A. Milne and the Making of Winnie-the-Pooh.

“Goodbye Christopher Robin is a story of celebrity, a story of both the joys and pains of success and, ultimately, the story of how one man created a series of enchanting tales that brought hope and comfort to an England ravaged by the First World War.”
It was also made into a movie in 2017. I know movies can embellish biographical truth. But the premise of the story explores how the father, Alan, experienced trauma (likely PTSD) after returning from World War I, and despair over the toll and meaning of the war. It shows marital struggles with his wife, pressures from his publisher to write a new book, and his desire to leave London for a more quiet life. The end result is him connecting with his son and writing the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh book, but the heart of the movie examines the toll at which this occurred from the perspective of both father and son.
Movie adaptation, 2017
The story (spoilers below if you want to watch it yourself; trailer here):
The birth of A.A. Milne’s son is announced as his “latest Milne production,” similar to Taylor’s birth announcement ad.
His name is Christopher Robin Milne but his parents call him “Billy Moon” (Billy couldn't pronounce his last name "Milne").
A.A. Milne’s wife, Daphne, wanted a girl, and had picked out a girl’s name (Rosemary) and dresses. She later shares that this is because she is afraid of having a son who might get sent off to war (which does happen).
Due to Alan’s war flashbacks and desire for a quieter life to focus on his writing, they move to a cottage in the country. They hire a nanny, Olive, to watch over Billy. The wife, Daphne, is disenchanted with the country and her husband’s lack of producing any new work and returns to London, bringing Billy and the nanny with her. They visit the zoo, and Billy sees a black bear. He compares the bear to his beloved stuffed teddy bear, Edward. He states how big and fierce the black bear seems and worries Edward will “grow up” to be the same. His mom says not to worry, that Edward will “stay little forever, like my boy.”
Billy returns to the country with the nanny, while the wife stays in London.

The nanny then has to leave to take care of her ailing mother, leaving Alan alone to take care of Billy. He struggles at first but finally bonds with his son after they start taking walks in the woods and playing make believe with Billy’s stuffed animals. Alan gets inspiration for his new book, using the stuffed animals and Billy (using his real name “Christopher Robin”) as characters in the book.

The middle of the story unfolds highlighting the inspiration for writing the book (Alan collaborating with his friend E.H. Shepard for illustrations), based on dad’s playtime and experiences with Billy. It is realized that this story might be popular and “healing” for a public who is disenchanted with the aftermath of the war. A scene shows Billy on a makeshift “float” with balloons as his dad and Shepard attempt to get him up into a tree so Shepard can draw a picture of “Christopher Robin knocking on owl’s door.” There’s also a scene where Alan and E.H. Shepard look over at an innocent Christopher Robin carrying his teddy bear and realize the magic they’re about to capture in the book (but it’s also an ominous scene as Billy looks so innocent in this moment, unaware of what's about to be unleashed upon him).
https://preview.redd.it/r1j6mz65893d1.jpg?width=3895&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60c67195d876f01b6594f16b70618da1d60600af
Dad tells Billy he’s writing a book about their adventures and his animals, and “I’m putting you in it too.” Billy says he isn’t sure what to think about that. “They’ll think I’m not real.” Dad and son debate about his name for the book. Dad says “We’ll call you Christopher Robin then because it’s your real name but it’s not who you really are” (since he goes by Billy Moon).
The book is published and is an immediate success.
However, it becomes clear that “Christopher Robin the boy” is the star of the book. Reporters and the public start to seek him out, overshadowing the author himself (dad, Alan). Reporters start showing up in the woods as the boy is playing, with the nanny providing a protective role. Billy starts getting inundated with piles of fan mail. The dad starts to show resentment while the mother seems thrilled with the “success.” Billy starts to show some confusion over his new found fame. In one scene, he yells out “But I’m not really Christopher Robin, I’m Billy Moon.” A flurry of media chaos unfolds as the book becomes popular:
https://preview.redd.it/op9w1y6z893d1.jpg?width=3800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=82e8bf4014165ed99aeb0d114950fe708d6bebe5
“Everyone wants to be Christopher Robin.”
“The happiest young man on earth."
Movie screenshot of the \"happiest young man on earth\"
One reporter, talking to dad, states, “I can’t believe I’m talking to the father of the real Christopher Robin.”
After royal guards pay a visit to Billy for his birthday, later that evening he is on the phone with his dad, who is in London. Billy shares a conversation with his dad, who wishes him happy birthday. At the end of the call, it’s made apparent that his dad was in a studio and the call was played live on the radio. An ad plays- highlighting the commercialization of it all. Billy questions his Nanny about what just happened. The nanny takes Billy out in the night to play, and they look at the moon. She says “I think Little Billy Moon better get acquainted with Big Billy Moon himself.” They playfully drop sticks off a bridge into the water and she says “A person should do the things a person loves, with the people a person loves. Because you never know what happens next.”
Billy and his parents go to a London toy store where Billy is to promote a prize to “win tea with the real Christopher Robin.” Billy resists participating in this, but his dad says “You’re the luckiest boy in the world, you know the real Winnie the Pooh.” Billy questions to his mom, “Are you my manager then?” His mom states, “What gave you such a notion, I’m your mother.”
Billy shows signs of starting to question what is even real. He starts to show signs of protecting himself, telling fans that this isn’t his “real” life and that the names of himself and his animals are made up and that he’ll never tell fans their “real names.” At one point he tells his nanny “Are people going to look at us…like they look at Winnie the Bear in the zoo?”
https://preview.redd.it/bhjdb6hn893d1.jpg?width=3696&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e8a423ae2a936e951284403733c0afba7815434
He is later looking at a map and asks his nanny "Is there anywhere in the world they don't know about Winnie the Pooh? I want to go there."
The nanny shares her concerns with his parents about Billy “being used as a show pony, he has to be allowed to grow up, to know that someone cares about him.”
The nanny is shown putting Billy to bed. She tells him a bedtime story about a “nanny that loves him.” “Be happy, Billy Moon.” “Keep your memories and I’ll keep mine”, “And that way we’ll always be together.”
The nanny quits/leaves and hands dad Billy’s schedule of busy appointments for the week. Billy wakes up distraught that his nanny is gone.
Dad Alan starts to question Billy’s schedule to his wife. “He can’t do all this. He’s a little boy. How have we let this happen?” “He should be running around in the woods.” Wife insists that Billy can do it. “He can [do it]. He’s rather good at it apparently.”
At a visit to the zoo for PR with the black bear, dad starts to push back at the role his son has been put in. He leaves the photoshoot, and he and Billy get ice cream, and are interrupted by fans as they’re eating.
https://preview.redd.it/fx7fd0hb893d1.jpg?width=3868&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1c9ee07e42365784f890eea72f7ad8d0de34be2
That night, dad tells Billy he’s decided he’s not going to write any more books about Billy’s stuffed animals or Christopher Robin. Billy asks “Does this mean Winnie the Pooh will just be ours again?” Dad states, “Winnie the Pooh is out in the world now and we can’t take him out of it.” But he tells Billy “you’ll never have to dress up again as Christopher Robin…and the day will come when everyone will forget about Winnie the Pooh.”
Billy is older now and goes to boarding school, where he’s bullied for his name as Christopher Robin. He starts going by the name “Christopher Milne.” Later, his classmates are shown going off to war. Billy is shown walking with his father in the woods. Billy tells his dad he wants to go to war (but has failed the medical exam).
“I want the chance to be private Milne. 607841 or whatever. Anonymous, a real person.”
Dad resists, but Billy says his dad has the clout to help get him in, and asks for his help, telling his dad that “I helped you write that book, now help me.”
The next scene show Billy in uniform ready to leave. As he goes to say goodbye to his mom, she walks away without saying goodbye.
Dad sees Billy off at the train station. While they’re waiting for the train, Billy feels there is something he has to tell his dad: “That bear made my life misery.”
“We played in the woods and then you wrote that book and it all stopped. As of it had all been a piece of research.” Billy and dad argue about the book. Dad says “You asked me to write a book for you.” The son says he asked for a “book for me, not about me.” Billy gets on the train and dad sees a flashback of him as a child.
In the next scene a letter comes that Billy is “missing and presumed dead.” The wife blames Alan. He has flashbacks about the last conversation with his son at the train station:
“About the money. The money we earned from ‘that bear.’ There’s mountains of it. It’s a fortune. You helped make it. It was just as much your doing as mine.” Billy declines the money, “I was just playing. With my father. If I take the money for it then I have to be Christopher Robin and I’m not Christopher Robin.”
Tigger's empty cage is shown.

Later that night the dad sees his Billy come home and that he hasn’t died after all. He welcomes him home and calls him “Billy Moon.”
In the final scene, Billy and his dad revisit the woods and look over the landscape and the 100 Acre woods. Billy says “There it all is as if nothing had ever happened, just as I left it.”
Dad: “When I came back [from the war], everything seemed wrong.”
Billy shares with his dad what the Winne-the-Pooh story means to people, as he saw when he was off to war. He mentions a piece of the Winnie the Pooh song that he heard a fellow solider sing.
“Everyone on earth knows that song. But I knew it first. It was mine before it was anyone else’s.”
Dad wistfully says “Then I gave it all away.” Billy shares how much the story brought happiness to people when they needed it most. Dad states, “I’m sorry you paid the price for it.”
Billy: “You reminded people what happiness was…what childhood could be when everything else was broken.”
https://preview.redd.it/4ooc2tqd893d1.jpg?width=3806&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06d72e1147121f7c6dc81ab3c414e8e923377531

Dad: “But your own childhood…”
Billy interrupts: “[my own childhood]…Was wonderful. It was growing up that was hard.”
Dad: “Who would have guessed that bear would swallow us up?”
Dad looks over and sees a flashback of his son as the young Christopher Robin. They walk home hand in hand. The end.
This story really drives home the ideas of childhood innocence lost to fame, the dichotomy between the “real” and the “famous” self, and the dynamics within a family of navigating the caveats of celebrity. The part that really connected me to Taylor’s story was Billy asking his nanny if they’d be “viewed like the bear at the zoo.” Again, I don't know Taylor's life or relationship with her parents. I have no idea if there’s any inspiration here for the song *Robin.* But this story makes me appreciate Taylor’s story (that we know of from our limited public perspective) and some of the difficulties she must have faced as a young person having grown up in fame for most of her life. She clearly loves songwriting and appears(?) to thrive in and seek the spotlight. And her music has brought so much joy and happiness to fans. But at what cost? Maybe The Manuscript perhaps alludes to this: maybe she sacrificed her early years and “true” (queer) self for that success (the "agony" she references), but also realizes the “gift” that her music has bestowed upon the world. At the end of the movie, Billy seems grateful for the "gift" of happiness and joy that his father's book has given the world, despite the hardships that it meant for them both.
I also appreciate when Billy's father says "Winnie the Pooh is out in the world now and we can't take him out of it" after he tells Billy he's not going to write any more stories. Much like Taylor's brand, like a dandelion, has been released into the wild.
https://preview.redd.it/fb5ykdkp893d1.jpg?width=454&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a83cec30ec8e682323b5e42065c80ab5e647b50
One of the things I love about Robin is the various interpretations it lends itself to. I’d love to someday learn from Taylor herself what her own meaning and inspiration for the song were. But in the meantime I’ll keep exploring it because I think it’s a gem- sweet and innocent at first listen, but so layered and meaningful as one listens to it from different perspectives.
What interpretation do you have of it? Has that changed?

Exfiltration

[A/N: This chapter beta-read by Lady Columbine of Mystal.]
[First] [Previous] [Next]
Mik
Papa Juliet calling Mike Whiskey. I’m in. Guy says she’s in room one-zero-three-eight, do you copy?
“I copy one zero three eight,” Mik replied quietly. She looked up at the room numbers and noted that she was at least on the correct floor. “Going there now, over.”
It was a good thing that even evil corporate secret facilities had their safety procedures. As she jogged along the corridor in what she thought was the right direction, she spotted an evacuation map of the facility, complete with room numbers. Studying the plan for a moment, she traced out a path, memorised it, then took off running.
Although people fresh from Earth often complained how hard it was to maintain a good running speed on Mars due to lack of traction, Mik had no such problems indoors. The floors weren’t the best for cornering on, but she saw no issue in running halfway up the wall to kick off in the direction she wanted to go. Her enhanced vestibular systems aided considerably in keeping her balance, no matter where her feet were placed at the time.
Now that she knew where she was going, she reached the corridor that she needed in less than a minute. But then she encountered something that wasn’t a barrier as such, but certainly caused her to think twice about what was going on.
At first glance, there was little to worry about. What she’d found was an airlock of a make and model ubiquitous to half the buildings on Mars. Given that the outside atmosphere of Mars could only be survived by one person currently on the surface of the planet, the presence of an airlock would normally have been easy to explain away as an essential safety precaution.
What gave Mik pause was the fact that the airlock was inside the building, and in fact was between her and the person she was here to rescue. This made her ask herself a very specific question:
Which side of this airlock is expected to be depressurised, and why?
There was only one logical answer, and it did nothing for her peace of mind. If she was reading the signs correctly, the person behind Dani’s abduction and subsequent imprisonment was willing to set up a lethal situation for their captive, as a last-ditch screw-you to Mik. They probably wouldn’t kill her immediately, but if Mik tried to get her out, it would go from zero to fatal in very little time indeed. And in fact, if the airlock was code-locked on the other side, it would also serve to lock Mik into the area, allowing Cyberon to simply walk in and scoop her up at their leisure.
If I keep going, I’ll be trapped and she dies no matter what. Cyberon security’s probably on the way, so Pete might not be able to get us both out in time. If we pull back, they might decide she’s no use as bait, and kill her anyway. Bad end, do not want.
Okay, so I’ve seen the trap. How do I turn it around?
*****
Dani
The cell was cold, the floor hard to sleep on, and the ration bars they’d been feeding her tasted like salted sawdust, but that wasn’t the worst part. Dani had been uncomfortable before; some of the places her father had worked had lacked many civilised creature comforts. But she’d had friendly company and she’d been able to keep track of what was going on in the larger world.
Here, she had neither.
She wasn’t sure if it was deliberate torture or just a total lack of caring about her wellbeing, but the lighting outside the Perspex panel that fronted her cell never varied. Neither dim nor overbright, it was just constant. They’d taken her watch at the same time as they’d sequestered the rest of her belongings and shoved her into an anonymous coverall, so she had no way of keeping track of time, except by way of her biological rhythms and the delivery of the food rations (which in itself was worryingly irregular, like they kept forgetting that she needed to eat).
Even the Suit, as she called him (she didn’t have a name for him, but she had a huge number of highly unflattering descriptors for him) hadn’t shown up in some time. At first, she’d been able to mark off the days in her mind by his visits, either gloating over how Mik was going to walk straight into his trap or attempting to interrogate her about Mik’s habits and potential actions. She’d done her best to give him no joy either way, which in hindsight was possibly a mistake, as he didn’t visit at all these days.
All she got was a guy walking past the cell every few hours and glancing in to make sure she hadn’t miraculously dismantled the lock and spirited herself out of the building. They didn’t talk to her, even when she called out and tried to open lines of communication. She knew they could hear her, but their faces just closed off and they walked on.
It had been days, maybe weeks, she was sure of that much. A month, even two? She couldn’t be sure. A couple of times she dreamed she’d been rescued, that the wall of the cell had just opened up and she’d walked out; the emotional crashes, when she woke and discovered the reality of the situation, had been devastating. Pretty soon, she figured, she’d be hallucinating even when she was awake, and it just wouldn’t matter anymore.
So, when she saw Mik herself step into view in front of the cell, wearing her usual t-shirt and jeans and heavy boots, along with a badass-looking long-coat, she didn’t even react at first. Either it was someone else and her eyes were playing tricks on her, or she was asleep and dreaming the whole thing, or her mind had finally cracked. Didn’t matter; Mik wasn’t there.
She waited for the apparition of her friend to morph into one of the guards or to evaporate altogether, or maybe rip the door off its runners, but none of that happened. Instead, Mik examined the lock and frowned. Then she pulled out a notebook and pencil—pens had a really hard time working in vacuum, so Mik always went old-school when it came to passing notes—and scribbled something.
Dani had never been able to read a damn thing in a dream. The words and letters always came jumbled up, probably because reading was a logical thing and dreams were by their nature illogical. So, she was fully prepared for whatever the note showed to be pure gibberish.
Instead, to her surprise, it was totally readable. NO AIR OUT HERE. NEED U TO PREP FOR DECOMPRESS, CLOSE EYES. WILL OPEN DOOR, GET U OUT. DO U TRUST ME?
She read it through several times, trying to make sense of it. Mik was still standing there, waiting, though she’d glanced from side to side a couple of times. The writing on the notepad was holding steady, not changing to something else.
Is this real? Is this actually happening?
Tears sprang to her eyes as she first began to allow herself to consider the concept. She tried to keep herself under control; every other time she’d believed she was getting out, her expectations had been cruelly dashed. But she could read the note. She could read the note.
Climbing painfully to her feet—there was little chance for exercise in the cell, and the nutrient bars didn’t leave her with much in the way of excess energy—she went over to the Perspex panel that served as a door. “Are you real?” she asked, putting her hand on the panel. “Are you really there?”
Mik nodded, then flipped a page and scribbled some more. IM REAL. IM GETTING U OUT OF THERE. DO U TRUST ME? Then she tore the page from the pad and dropped it.
Instead of fluttering lazily to the ground—under Martian gravity, it always took even longer than it did on Earth—it fell straight down, at the standard three point seven one metres per second per second.
Okay, that’s not something a hallucination would bring up. There’s only Martian air pressure out there. She’d had dreams of walking unprotected on the surface of Mars. The human brain couldn’t create the consequences of low air pressure out of whole cloth. That was a leap of logic that it couldn’t make.
Dani took a deep breath and nodded. “I trust you,” she said, aware that Mik was practised at reading lips. “I just don’t know how long I can go without air.” Attempting to hold one’s breath in vacuum or near-vacuum, she knew, was a recipe for ruptured lungs. “Should I hyperventilate?”
Instead of writing more notes, Mik made the hand gesture for ‘no time’, then pointed at her first note. Dani nodded, then stepped back. Closing her eyes, she opened her mouth, working her jaw to allow her ear canals to connect to her sinus cavities.
She heard it when the door began to open, the thin high screech of escaping air, deepening to a rumble as the air pressure dropped. Her ears popped, then popped again as she kept working her jaw. Air flowed out of her lungs, then an involuntary belch joined it.
Her skin prickled and her eyes were uncomfortable behind her tightly closed eyelids, but she didn’t dare open them. Micro-pressure did nasty things to exposed eyeballs; they didn’t pop (that was something even the stupidest of space dramas didn’t do anymore), but the sheen of tears on the exterior surface had been known to freeze or evaporate, neither of which was good for the eye.
Pressure was building unpleasantly in her gut, and she did her best to relax her sphincters. Another burp was followed by a small frrrt, and she silently blessed the fact that the nutrient bars were designed for vacuum workers, who didn’t want to share their EVA suits with abdominal gases.
And then a mouthpiece was pressed over her face, and air flowed into her lungs. Reaching up, she grabbed the pony bottle, amazed that she’d actually forgotten how Mik carried it everywhere. Once she had it, Mik let go and grabbed her arm, urging her forward.
Under the guidance of her friend, she stumbled out of the cell then turned left. They moved as fast as she was able, though she had to keep her eyes closed. How Mik had even gotten there, and what the plan was to get her out, she wasn’t sure, but she trusted Mik implicitly.
They went down the length of one corridor and then another one, much farther than she would’ve been able to go with her eyes closed and no air. Alone, she would’ve stumbled aimlessly until she died. Then they entered what she figured was an airlock, the supposition borne out when a door closed behind them and the air pressure started rising again.
When she felt it was safe, she opened her eyes and handed the pony bottle back to Mik. “Th-thanks,” she rasped, her voice rusty from disuse. “You came back. I didn’t know if you would.”
“It’s been a month, let me tell you,” Mik said lightly. “I had to get reinforcements, but here I am.”
Something clanked at floor level, and Dani looked down to see that Mik had just knocked over a bucket. “Okay,” she asked. “What’s a bucket doing in an airlock?”
“Holding the inner door open so nobody can remotely shut it behind me,” Mik explained. The other airlock door opened, and she stepped out. “C’mon, we’ve got places to be.”
Dani followed along. Her joints still felt creaky and stiff, but she was damned if she was going to slow Mik down now. “Where’d you go for reinforcements? Tharsis? Wouldn’t they just send stern memos to Cyberon or something?”
“Yeah, that’s why I didn’t go to them.” As Mik and Dani turned a corner, Dani saw two of the guards on the ground, along with a third one in an EVA suit, and a fourth person in an EVA suit standing over them with a metal bar in his hand. “Hey, we’re ready to suit up and go.”
The standing man flipped up his faceplate. “Good. The suit’s just outside. I’ll keep watching these clowns while you go get it.”
“On it.” Mik tipped Dani a wink, then ducked out through the airlock. A moment later, she was back, bringing a suit in Dani’s size.
“I was wondering how you were going to get me out of here.” Dani didn’t waste time, starting to haul on the suit even as she addressed Mik. She didn’t know the guy, but if Mik trusted him, she was willing to as well.
“It was either this or terraform the whole planet so you could just walk out normally, and terraforming was taking too long.” Mik eyed the guards unfavourably. “How badly were these assholes treating you?”
“They didn’t hit me or anything,” Dani said. “Just fed me and watched me. It was their boss who said all the nasty stuff about how you were gonna fall in his trap.”
“Mm.” Mik looked like she didn’t want to drop the matter, but the guy put his hand on her shoulder and she subsided. “Okay, then. Ready to go?”
“Nearly.” Dani locked her helmet in place, then triggered the oxygen flow. The telltales showed up green, so she nodded and gave the thumb-to-forefinger all-good gesture.
The guy with Mik flipped down his faceplate, and all three of them stepped into the airlock. It was a tight squeeze but Mik was skinny, and Dani didn’t take up much room even in a suit. “We’re going to have to move fast,” the guy said over her radio. “I have a feeling Cyberon security is incoming with everything they’ve got.
Yeah, no crap.” That was definitely Mik. “Just by the way: Pete, meet Dani; Dani, meet Pete.
Pleased to meet you,” Pete added. “Lieutenant Pete Janssen, Orbital Rescue, at your service.
Even while Dani was trying to figure out what an Orbital Rescue pilot was doing on the surface of Mars, the airlock opened and they hustled out. The surrounding terrain was the very opposite of flat, and Dani had no idea which way to go. And then Mik’s eyes opened wide and she turned her head, looking up into the sky.
Lander,” she said. “I can hear it coming in.
Dani had very little experience with matters like this, but she had an idea what was coming next anyway. “They’ll be bringing in ground troops, won’t they? Looking for us?”
Got it in one.” Mik started off into the rocks. “We have to get to the ’hopper before they catch up with us.
Copy that, princess.” Pete hooked one arm under Dani’s. “Let’s get moving.
Dani had thought the nightmare was over but as she discovered, it was just beginning. Even with Pete and Mik helping her up and over the obstacles in their way, she quickly ran out of energy. Fear-generated adrenaline was well and good, but it had its limits, and her arms and legs were soon powerless noodles.
“Leave me,” she begged. “They’ll catch you, and this’ll all be for nothing.”
And if we leave you, it’ll also be for nothing,” Mik told her grimly. “I had to do it once. It’s not happening a second time.
Take her,” Pete said. “I’ll go and draw them off. Even if they catch me—”
Mik cut him off. “If they can’t use you to get us back, they’ll kill you. You take her, you’re stronger than me. If they’ve got guns, which I’m pretty sure they do, they’re less likely to shoot at me than you. I’ll meet you at the ’hopper.
Not giving Pete the option to argue, she let go Dani’s arm and vanished into the chaotic terrain.
Wait—” began Pete, then swore. “Dammit! Okay fine, she’s not giving us a choice. Let’s get you to the ’hopper.
As they moved off, Dani had to ask the question. “Why did you call her princess, earlier?”
Well, she’d just told us her story, and I made a joke …
*****
Mik
The security troopers were good at moving in EVA suits, and they definitely had guns. There were also a lot of them, which was going to make this tricky as hell. Still, Mik had a few advantages on her side, some of which they hopefully didn’t know about.
She peered around a rocky outcrop at a bunch of them, who were conferring over some kind of digital map. If they wanted to use that thing to make any kind of straight path through this labyrinth of Martian terrain, they had to be dreaming. The trouble was, if they just pushed forward en masse, they could comb every last hiding place, no matter how tricky she was. Which was why she had to pull them away from the ‘logical thinking’ mindset and into the ‘chase me’ mindset.
Picking up a friable-looking rock, she stepped into view, then hurled her missile directly at the faceplate of one of the troopers facing her. It burst on impact, leaving a cloud of dust behind. Before they could bring their guns to bear, she ducked out of sight again, heading down a twisting, turning alleyway of rock. Her natural agility and balance made up for the uneven footing, allowing her to move much faster than the troopers behind her.
The call would be going out now, converging every security trooper in the area on that spot. This included any of them that might’ve been on course to discover the rille where she and Pete had hidden the rock-hopper. If they were chasing her, they weren’t going after anyone else.
She paused after a minute or so of movement, listening hard and with her hands on the rocks on either side. Sound didn’t travel well in this atmosphere, though her ears were attuned to pick up what little there was. Vibrations through the ground were sometimes more useful, and she fancied she could feel the security troops coming her way, just as much as she could hear the scuffing and stumbling among the chaotically tumbled boulders.
The next time she nailed someone in the faceplate with a rock, one of the troopers shot at her. It didn’t come close enough to worry her, though the whole experience of being shot at in general was a new and unpleasant one. She got her target, though, dusting the man plus his comrades with the ever-present fines. The fewer of her pursuers who could see properly, the better.
And then Pete’s voice crackled in her mastoid earpiece. “We’re at the ’hopper. Want a pickup?
“No, don’t,” she replied, talking quietly into the mouthpiece even though she knew the troopers couldn’t hear her. “They’ll shoot you out of the sky. Hold tight, I’m coming to you.”
A dozen troopers looked around in surprise as she jumped out of concealment almost within arm’s reach. She was holding two large rocks that she’d selected carefully, each one with the consistency of chalk. Both left her hands even before her feet hit the ground; not aimed at the troopers, they instead hit the rocks on either side. A great cloud of fines billowed over all of the troopers, but she wasn’t waiting around for it to dissipate.
There was a nice straight pathway for her to retreat down, but she didn’t take it. Instead, she ducked into the first niche she found that was barely large enough to take her, and flipped up the hood of the long-coat so that it covered her head. Thus concealed, facing the rock and holding still, she hopefully looked like part of the landscape.
She both heard and felt the rush of booted feet behind her; yelling inside their helmets so loudly that she heard that too. Thirty seconds ticked by in her head, and there were no stragglers following along. Cautiously, she peered out from behind the coat. She was alone.
By now there would be enough troopers spread through the chaotic terrain for false sightings to be happening on the regular, and in fact she heard a few random shots here and there which bore out that idea. But that wasn’t her problem, so she slipped unseen through the dragnet until she came to the rille. Jumping from foothold to foothold, she descended to where Pete and Dani were just getting settled on the rock-hopper.
Oh, good,” Pete said. “You’re here. I was starting to worry.
Can we go now?” asked Dani plaintively. “I just want to get out of here.
“We can,” Mik confirmed, scrambling up onto the rock-hopper and strapping herself into the middle seat, which had been installed by the crusty McPherson. She flicked the wake-up switch on the flight control computer (also supplied by McPherson), then activated the controls and lit off the attitude rockets. Slowly, then with more power as she fed fuel to the main rocket, the rock-hopper climbed into the air.
Straight back up to the ship?” asked Pete hopefully.
“Not quite,” Mik said. “They’ve almost certainly got ships up there that can shoot us down if they see us coming up out of their area of interest, so we’re going to have to stay low for the moment until we get out from under their umbrella. Our best chance for doing that is to leave their turf altogether.”
Angling the rock-hopper eastward, she applied more thrust, and they shot away across the tumbled landscape.

2024.05.29 01:50 jess1498 This the book summary For My marvelous Dream is you

I tried reposting it on another post but It wasn’t letting comment after i edited.
This is the book summary. Sorry if there are mistakes; I tried my best.
The two girls meet when Kim’s family moves next door to Wan’s family. Wan has been dreaming about a girl since she was young and realizes Kim is the girl in her dreams. Wan finds out that her dad is strangely close to Kim's dad. It happens several times, and Wan figures out they are lovers. The two Dads run away together, leaving their daughters and wives behind. Some time passes, and when they go back to school, rumors emerge about the two father run away together at their school. Wan tries to get close to Kim, but she ignores her and tries to avoid her at all costs. Wan wants to be close to someone who can understand the pain of their father leaving, and Kim is that person.
They eventually get close, but Kim and Wan makes it clear they are not friends. Wan and Kim have dreams of each other, and they do romantic things in their dreams. Some of this affects their real life because if they fight in real life, they make up in their dream world. The four friends get closer as time goes by. They have a lot of tension in their friendship. They have feelings for each other but neither of them wants to confess. Also, Kim doesn't like same-sex relationships because of her trauma of her father abandoning them for Wan's dad. This is why Wan is even more afraid to confess her feelings towards Kim. Wan, in school, one day, says that whoever is the first person to give her a gift, she will date them. After school, Wan checks the bag for the gift to see who gave it to her but cannot find it. Mon, one of the friends in their group, makes some time to talk to Wan alone. She tells Wan that another student at school saw Kim throw away the gift given to Wan on Valentine's Day! Later that day, she gifts a drawing of Wan sleeping to her ☺️ Mon (the friend questions Dawan if they like each other and asks her if Kim gave her a gift, and Dawan denies it ).
Dwan is planning to tell Kimhan her feelings. In chapter 19 of the book, as she heads home for dinner, she finds that her mom is not home. So she checks to see if she's at the neighbor's house, Aunt Aey’s (Kimhans mother). She finds an unexpected scene. She sees her mother and Aunt Aey kissing each other. She keeps it a secret. This prevents Dawan and Kim Han’s romantic relationship from progressing. Wan finds it impossible to confess now because both of their father had an affair and ran away together. Now, their moms are also in love, and Kim and Wan love each other. She finds it too much to bear and doesn't want Kim to find out and get hurt again. The four friends make a time capsule where, in 10 years, they will open the letters they wrote to each other. Kim and Wan write letters, confessing their feelings to each other, and leave them in the time capsule.
Time passes by, and Dawan becomes a famous actress. Kim works for her, and they protect each other and live together in a condo. Dawan insists they live together to prevent Kimhan from discovering the truth about their moms. Dawan knows her mom and Aunt Aey suffered after their husbands left them and doesn't want to separate them because she knows they are in love. Wan doesn't want to take her mom's happiness away. Eventually, Kimhan meets a man named Mawhin. Kim introduces Mawhin to Wan as her boyfriend. She is jealous but cannot complain because she has had boyfriends in the past as well. The difference is that when Wan went on the dates with her ex boyfriends, she takes Kimhan along with her on her dates—leaving the boyfriends as the third wheels🤣. Wan's ex-bfs always gave her an ultimatum to choose between them (Wan’s bf’s) and Kim. Dawan always chose Kim, and her boyfriends broke up with her. Wan has never slept with her ex-boyfriends, and when they tried to get her drunk to have sex with her, Kim always rescued her. Mawim Wants to marry Kim Han. Mawhin has a conversation with Dawan, asking her if he should go ahead and ask Kimhan to marry him. Mawhin wants to know if Dawan has feelings For Kim, telling her that he knows how Kim feels for her and wants to see if Dawan also feels the same for Kim. Making sure he can safely propose to Kim with out Dawan getting in the way. Mawhin asks this in an indirect way. Dawan understands, but she is still in denial or doesn't dare to confess the truth about her feelings for Kim. It's finally Time to open the time capsule. Wan goes before the friend Groups goes together to retrieve the time capsule. She secretly steals the letter she wrote, confessing her feelings for Kimhan. When all the friends go retrieve it, Kim hands the letter to Wan. Days pass, and Wan still does not dare to open the letter Kim wrote to her 10 years ago. Kim calls Dhawan and asks if she read the letter, and Wan says yes and asks what she thinks. (But Wan still has not read the letter) Kim wants to know what she thinks. Dahwan responds she has no opinion on it. So before Kimhan ends the call, she goes silent and tells Wan, “It's time for me to let go”. On Kim's wedding day, Wan finally reads the letter. It reads:
A Dahwan, If you're reading this, it means ten years have passed. I've spent a long time contemplating whether I should write to you about this. But by the time you read it, ten years will have gone by, and we will probably laugh because we will have grown and matured.
Among all my friends, you are the one I love the most. You are the best person who will always hold a special place in my heart, and no one can replace you. If I were to tell you that we were so close that I dreamt about you, would you think it's strange? I saw you even before we became friends.
In my dreams...
For as long as I can remember, I've had a friend in my dreams. It's a completely blue and white world. There's a big tree and a river, and the surroundings change over time, though I don't know why. I never knew if you truly existed. Every time I woke up, I would forget who that friend was.
Until we met in reality. That girl from my dreams turned out to be you.
We did many things... Ah, I don't know how to put it into words. Let's just say they were very good dreams. Every time I dreamt, I didn't want to wake up. But if I didn't wake up, I would regret not being able to go to school and come home to you, just like we do.
You were always with me. And now, it turns out that you're always in my thoughts and in my heart. You're a friend, a big sister, a little sister, and sometimes a pain in the ass. But I love everything about you.
I think I'm in love with you... Even though I don't like deviating from heterosexuality because of our parents, you are my exception. I love you for who you are. I don't care if you're a man or a woman. But I don't know if, after ten years, when this letter is opened, I will still feel the same.
If either of us already has a lover, read this letter and laugh awkwardly with each other.
But for now, as I write this letter, this is how I truly feel. And if what I feel in ten years is still the same, and you feel the same way, let me know.
Dhawan, I dream of you.
End of letter.
After Dhawan reads the letter, she rushes to Kim's wedding ceremony and enters when Kim is getting ready for the ceremony. Dhawan tells her, “Kim Han, I also dream of you”! They confess to each other their love. Just as the wedding is about to start, paparazzi and new stations are waiting for the couple to get married. Wan takes and escapes with Kim together. They run away to a hotel, And Kim and Wan spend the wedding night together. News goes out to the public that a famous actress took the bride and escaped with her, embarrassing the rich groom.
There is more to the story, but they have a happy ending

2024.05.28 23:19 Looong_Pig_Blankets [QCrit] Adult Fantasy - I PRAY ON RAINS OF FIRE (106k / V2)

Hi everyone,

After some months revising my MS and finishing draft 2, I reached a point where I'm mostly waiting for beta reader feedback. While that's happening, I thought I'd share my latest query letter to see what you guys think. The comps are a work in progress. Previous submssion is here.

Dear [Agent], I PRAY ON RAINS OF FIRE is 106k words adult fantasy standalone. It mixes the traumatic healing of [X] with S.A.Chakraborty's AMINA AL-SIRAFI's mix of seasoned and new adventurers grappling with their identities.
Dava has always believed the rain of fire that orphaned her and her brother Pez was part of a divine plan. Her faith leads her to unearth not just ash but magical stones with the power to manipulate metal, roots, shadows and more—relics she believes are blessings. Her discovery propels her to steal two more stones from the governor’s mansion, barely escaping with her life. Yet, as one of the few in the kingdom who understands the stones’ potential to build rather than fearing them as curses, Dava catches the attention of Imran. He is a cunning spymaster who sees in Dava a way to turn the tide of a losing war in the human kingdom’s favour and offers her a place in his scheme.
The promise of wealth for every stone she retrieves and the greater purpose of helping end the war for millions in the human kingdom sway Dava and Pez to work for Imran. Her prayers are met. The siblings assemble a team capable of surviving the brutal world Imran draws them into, one magical stone at a time. But allying Imran puts them in the crosshairs of mercenaries hired by the kingdom’s Minister of War and a powerful witch Imran used to work with.
Dava’s dream of using the stones to heal and help people quickly turns to ash in her mouth the longer she works for Imran. As the war burns through her hometown near the frontline and Imran dies leaving a nonsensical plan to make both sides lose, Dava faces a perilous choice: use her discoveries to win the war and bring suffering just like she lived through, or leave the fate of all humans in the hands of enemies that never forgot who cast the first stone.

[Bio]

First 300:
Sneaking into the mansion was going to be simple; the vault upstairs was the real challenge. The guards dawdled pipe in hand, late as usual. Sat in her bushy hideout, Dava watched and smirked at the guards’ predictable midnight change. The governor’s ‘elite’ – bought from the army for a hefty sum – were anything but. They fumbled in the darkness, their laughter echoing off the walls. A perfect cover.
The crunch of pebbles under the new shift’s boots stopped. Everyone relaxed, leaning shoulder into the wall and puffing away between whispered jokes and muffled gossip. A thick cloud blocked the moonlight. This was her moment. Dava pulled up her hood and fastened the navy scarf across her face, before dashing across the courtyard. Each step was light and calculated. She paused for moments at a time behind the sculptures of animals covered in vines. One final jump over the hedge to avoid the pebbled path and she slipped into the tent made of leaves and branches unnoticed. The guards never came into the tent. Something about how sticky sweet it smelled, like honey jammed up your nose.
The mansion hid more than just a famous wine cellar. Everyone knew about the governor’s riches from up north. He had to have a vault and something as powerful as the crystal that fell from the sky would be there. Dava was sure of it. The three crystals she had found by herself were dangerous enough and at least she knew what she was doing. The governor’s men had no idea what they carted off back to the mansion.
Tonight of all nights, silence fell unnaturally early. It put Dava’s nerves on edge. Then silence gave way to pebbles scrunching underfoot. Three sets of steps, three guards circling the tent.

She just had to make it around the back of the mansion to the cellar door.

Thanks for your time and your feedback!

### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ###

Session 1 "The Apartment" (May 24th, 2024)
New York: Tuesday, August 8th, 1995
1:45pm - 3:32pm, EST
Entering the lobby of the Macallistar building in Kips Bay, NYC, the Agents first make a sweep of Abigail's mailbox. Agent MARCUS (M-Cell Case Officer) provided them with a complete set of keys, not to be copied. The mailbox is stuffed full with bills, junk mail, catalogues and offers; mail still being delivered by people who have no idea Abigail is missing. MAVERICK gathers it in a bag and they make their way to Abigail's apartment (Ground floor).
The Macallistar echoes an earlier age. Faded purple carpeting and design from the turn of the century. Opposite Abigail's front door is an old-fashioned telephone nook, complete with bench and curtain for comfort and privacy when phone-lines in individual apartment was an expense few could afford.
M-Cell enters the apartment, finding it somewhere between a hoarder's dream and crime-scene technician's nightmare. The small hallway leads to a living-room (the apartment's largest space), an adjoining bedroom and a kitchen and bathroom opposite each other. Aside from the hallway, on first inspection the only other uncluttered space is the kitchen, which doesn't really look as if it's been used much. MAVERICK ear-marks that as something he wants to check himself as the team begin taking stock.
The NYPD has left a box with copies of their files, including a list of tenants they interviewed, many, many evidence collection bags and a box of latex gloves.
The apartment is filled with various items, with almost no floor visible beneath the collection. CDs and CD cases are stuck or glued to the wall, along with mannequin parts, sketches and assorted pieces that might be ceramic or plastic arranged in odd patterns without reason or rhyme. Stacks of phone books, stretches of dyed fabrics stitched together, an antique claw-footed lamp. Bags, bundles of pictures (drawings and photographs) of seeming nonsense. No furniture is immediately visible in the chaotic mess.
MAIN finds the same result in the bedroom as the first Search rolls are called for. Something catches his eye in the anarchy of the bedroom.
MALATESTA begins sorting through the pile of mail. MILHOUSE at first begins helping, but seeing the scale of the cataloguing, volunteers to make a coffee and food run. MIRANDA begins photographing, while MAVERICK gloves up and asks for things to be passed to him such as brushes, anything with a handle really or something more likely to have fingerprints on it. He wants to see if he can grab a set of Abigail's prints, if that's possible.
It doesn't take MALATESTA long to work out Abigail stopped paying her rent and bills in or around March before disappearing in June. Money was coming in up to a certain point, apparently from a showing Abigail had at the Mercury Gallery in Greenwich Village in November the previous year. There's even a letter from the gallery owner asking about another possible showing; from the way it's written, it might not have been the first time he spoke to Abigail before she vanished. Then, the only money coming in appears to be from her father, though she doesn't appear to have used it to cover the rent. He also gets the building management company, Art Life and their address.
As the Agents work, with MAIN carefully picking his way through the bedroom towards whatever caught his eye and MAVERICK uncovers a battery-powered hi-fi under all the trash, MILHOUSE returns from his coffee run and bumps into someone else entering the Macallistar at the same time he is. After an awkward hesitation on the threshold, MILHOUSE spends a little chatting to Lewis Post, one of Abigail's neighbours. MILHOUSE passes a HUMINT roll and I ruled that having spent most of his time in academics and his fellow PhDs, he can spot signs of some kind of social anxiety. I felt that was a fair get for a good success.
Lewis is hesitant but forthcoming as MILHOUSE works that high charisma score, knowing what to say to diffuse any potential tension. As far as Lewis knows, he is FBI of some kind after all.
MILHOUSE: "Did she ever mention a boyfriend? Girlfriend?"
Lewis: "Our relationship wasn't really like that. We had coffee sometimes. Talked about art. The process." He thinks. "She might have mentioned someone, but not a name, only what they did. A salesman, but I couldn't tell you what they sold."
MILHOUSE: "Talk about anything else?"
Lewis begins heading upstairs "She mentioned moving, but not before she was ready."
Back in the apartment, MAIN voices what others were thinking. "Where was she staying?" No bed, no signs of habitation except for the assorted hoard of crap. MAIN finds a hand grenade nestled in some papers and art supplies near the bedroom's walk-in closet.
In the living room, MAVERICK finds a single cassette tape in the uncovered hi-fi and flips it on, finding the batteries still live. Everyone hears MAVERICK's conversation with his significant other, Natalie from the previous evening. MAVERICK realises it's cut up and out of order, rewinds it and then flips it over. He thinks the entire conversation has been split between A & B sides of the tape.
MALATESTA and MAVERICK both consider phone-tapping, but MAIN, grenade temporarily forgotten, asks how it ended up here?
SAN check for MAVERICK. Pocketing the cassette tape, MAVERICK closes down a bit and prepares to go over the kitchen with a fine tooth comb; perhaps this is how he copes?
Before MAIN can mention the grenade he's worried about, MIRANDA, MALATESTA, MILHOUSE & MAVERICK notice something on the wall behind where the hi-fi was previously buried under junk. Fixed to the wall, maybe with some kind of glue is a piece of brown packing-paper with some kind of symbol drawn on it. Everyone focuses on it.

### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ### ###

3:41pm to 5:22pm, EST
MALATESTA: "That certainly looks like what we're supposed to be worried about."
MIRANDA snaps a polaroid. MILHOUSE tries to examine it, but his Occult check can only give him the vague thought it's connected to demonology, but little else beyond that. MAVERICK is cautious, but more concerned about getting to work on the unusually spotless kitchen.
Carefully, MIRANDA removes it and a blaring sounds like something between a horn blast and explosion almost deafens the Agents. It seems to come from everywhere and nowhere, from right next to them and outside at the same time.
Everyone passes a CONx5 check and the subsequent SAN check. Through the living room's window, MIRANDA, MILHOUSE and MAIN see a yellow-cab in the street outside. The cabbie appears to have leaned on the horn as someone crosses the street. They appear heavily dressed for summer, possibly homeless.
Is that a snake draped across their shoulders?
MIRANDA takes a polaroid while MILHOUSE and MAIN head outside to investigate. The picture reveals in sharp clarity, the cabbie staring down the barrel as she snapped the shot directly at her. MAVERICK gets to work in the kitchen and MALATESTA picks over things in the living room and bedroom respectively.
Search rolls for those in the apartment.
Outside, the cab has turned the corner and the pedestrian has carried on, though MAIN and MILHOUSE are able to work out where they went. MILHOUSE heads to cut off the other side of the alley, while MAIN approaches from behind, getting the pedestrian's attention. It's the height of summer in NYC, the air reeks of gasoline, rotting garbage and baking, soiled concrete and asphalt.
MAIN finds a nondescript, seemingly homeless man by the state of his clothes, but with a python draped over his shoulders. MAIN strikes up conversation, lighting a Gitane cigarette and pointing to the snake. From the other end of the alley, MILHOUSE makes his way towards the pair.
MAIN fails an alertness check.
Is this guy sweating? It's hot and he's bundled up like it's winter. Is he sweating? Why isn't he sweating?
Back in the apartment, MAVERICK tests the kitchen for blood and body fluids, breaking out the spray bottle and UV light. There's no cutlery, glassware or dishware anywhere in the room, but as he's lifting what could be a print, finds a mechanical diagram drawn on a napkin taped above the inside of an otherwise empty drawer. MALATESTA & MIRANDA continue their search of the living and bedroom, with MALATESTA finding a card printed with the following:
"For a good time Call D - 999-202-9989"
On the reverse are a series of what appear to be street corner addresses in Brooklyn. Could be a sex-line, could be a way to see Red Band underground film screenings, could be something online related. MALATESTA drifts between a few circles and he pockets it out of curiosity. When MIRANDA locates the grenade in the bedroom, she is careful to give it a wide berth and locates what MAIN missed: a backpack radio in the bedroom's walk-in closet. She calls MALATESTA over.
Back in the alleyway, MILHOUSE rolls under 10% and passes his disguise check. Dressed casually and a college athlete to boot, he fits the general chad look in his New York Knicks shirt despite his academic leanings. Being loud and obnoxious like he's drunk, he barrels into the homeless guy with the snake who stonewalled MAIN.
Instead he hits MAIN as the man with the snake is there and gone in the space between blinks. One moment MAIN is looking at him and then MILHOUSE knocks him flat on his ass. Like a film edit. Just gone. MAIN crit fails his SAN check and takes 4 SAN loss without projecting. Instead, as he scrambles up begins kicking over trash cans and searching the alley while MILHOUSE tries to calm him down and get a handle on things.
As MILHOUSE is talking MAIN out of tearing the alley apart, MIRANDA and MALATESTA check out the radio. As it comes to life, they listen and hear the following:
"Exeter. India. One. Thirteen. Sierra. Twenty. Twenty. Forty-nine."
MAVERICK meanwhile, finding the kitchen bare oddly finds the refrigerator stocked. There isn't much inside, some milk unopened and a pack of cheese and deli meat. Expiration is months ago, but through the plastic and glass of the bottle it looks fresh. Curious, he opens the milk and finds it smells as fresh as the day it was bought. Months ago.
Passes his SAN check. Given what he heard on the tape, it's not the strangest thing today.
MAIN and MILHOUSE detour to grab some more coffees, more to calm MAIN down and give him a (successful CHAx5 check) to flirt with the coffeeshop waitress. On their return, MAIN heads into the bedroom, pulls the pin on the grenade and activates the firing lever.
Nothing happens. His "hunch" was correct. Despite failing to properly identify it, something about the shape of it didn't match modern ordnance. Like the radio, it's vintage and either deactivated or else rendered inert by time and age.
I gave MAIN a SAN point back, because why not?
As things begin winding down, MILHOUSE and MAVERICK puzzle over the weird fridge, with MILHOUSE sacrificing his green tea and MAVERICK a donut to see how "fresh" they are come morning between the fridge and not.

After 6pm, EST
Between them, M-Cell take the rest of the evening to take care of home-scenes or any unfinished business they can get done with their resources at hand. They also divide the Operational evidence from the Case evidence, with MIRANDA taking the symbol, MALATESTA the backpack radio & phone number, MAVERICK the cassette tape (for obvious reasons) and MAIN the mechanical sketch on the napkin.
MIRANDA and MILHOUSE, using the former's academic credentials both stay on the case, with MIRANDA leaving her photos from the park to develop in her bathroom. While she fails her roll, she does help MILHOUSE identify the demon the symbol refers to and book-related lead. She hits up a criminal contact named Hugo to put out feelers for weird items she may be interested in. He agrees for a fee, which she negotiates in her favour.
Returning to her apartment, MIRANDA finds her photos of the dancing clown and watching crowd have developed. In every photograph, the clown is turned away from her, but the faces in the crowd are looking at her. That's not how she remembers it. Fails a SAN check. Projects on to her editor, knowing she's going to be taking a "personal day" tomorrow, and this after she agreed to go to the grill.
This will have consequences.
MAIN, unnerved by the day's events, not the least of which was being knocked on his ass by a fitter, younger man, heads out. He returns to the coffeeshop he and MILHOUSE visited and takes the waitress he hit on out on a date. After a romantic interlude, MAIN has a new bond. Her name's Marsha, she's 27 and very nice.
Breaking Operational Security, MAVERICK asks MALATESTA to come back to his apartment and check for possible surveillance. Despite suffering comparatively little SAN loss overall, MAVERICK is letting the day's events impact his behaviour.
It's trivially easy for MALATESTA to confirm there are no bugs in place, which really does narrow the options for how the conversation could have been recorded. Thankful, he asks MALATESTA to keep this to himself for now, to which the grunge-kid agrees. MAVERICK drops MALATESTA near his home and leaves, putting the tape in the player of his car as he pulls away.
MALATESTA lives near the Village and diverts to check out the Mercury Gallery. Though closed, it seems legit and he makes a note of it for later. Back at home, he breaks open the backpack radio and examines it. The battery is not connected to the radio itself, the wires having been stripped out, yet he and MIRANDA both heard a voice on the end of its phone-mic. He passes his SAN check and finds in place of one of the transistors a small, black stone which does not feel like stone at all and feels like it's body temperature. MALATESTA leaves it on his desk, covered in a cloth.
Alone in his apartment, MAVERICK watches his phone. The time comes and he does not call Natalie. A moment later, his phone rings.
Alone in the apartment, MAVERICK does not answer.

Post-Mortem
We ended up playing for a touch longer than I intended, but I knew that would happen by the time the cab sounded its horn. Despite some tiredness and some drinking, we ended up with a really strong session in retrospect, which has set the overall tone of the campaign for me as GM going forward. Between the five players, two have been through one Delta Green campaign, one has experience with Pulp Cthulhu and two have varying levels of exposure. They all roleplayed the f##k out of their characters and while I was worried about just how weird I wanted things to get out the gate, it feels like the balance is correct and I've given enough avenues for further investigation they may want to pursue.
I got a far better sense, as did the players, as to what drives and motivates their characters and how they cope or don't cope with Delta Green work.
MILHOUSE is definitely setting himself up as the curious academic, Iain playing his interest as forever drawn towards what's there "to discover," he said in character. Perhaps a fool and his sanity are easily parted?
MAVERICK is the "all-American", Agent Cooper adjacent FBI Agent who butts up against the para-natural and is seemingly rocked by it, revealing a complicated and perhaps conflicted depth. In his previous operation with MIRANDA, MAVERICK killed one person, but something about this has gotten under his skin. I wonder what Natalie thinks about their missed call?
A hacker by trade, MALATESTA likes a puzzle as much as he does not like the "weird shit." He talks a good talk when it's about something he knows, but is much too shy to chat up his co-worker. He and MAVERICK had some friction in Session 0 when MAVERICK wanted to call him Mal, to which the younger man pushed back against. Yet, he now knows where MAVERICK lives. Maybe he can learn more? What will he do with that? Does he even want to?
As much as MILHOUSE, MIRANDA is likewise driven by curiosity and a need to know, but first and foremost to keep herself safe. She and him are not the same. There's a scar above her hip from a knife, and it still twinges from time to time. She's also the first to directly or indirectly involve a Bond in the investigation. I wonder what Hugo will or won't find? I wonder what those photos mean. MIRANDA wondered aloud whether the crowd or the clown was the "entity." What does that mean?
Despite being built like Jack Reacher (albeit in a sailor suit), MAIN projects a tough air but is clearly a man at the crossroads. He turns 40 before 1995 ends; middle age. When hit with a problem or something he can't otherwise work out, his behaviour swings from one extreme to the other. To date, he's coped with the case by: lashing out at trash cans in an alley. Chatting up a waitress and forming a romantic bond with her. Pulling the pin on a grenade he "thought" could be fake. It's day one. I'm here for it.
Our next session is scheduled for June 7th, 2024.
Until then, be seeing you.

2024.05.28 21:32 ActTraditional1 Neighbour hasn’t provided a formal party wall notice for his loft conversion works?

A few months ago, got tons of surveyor companies sending us letters that our neighbour has asked the council permission for a loft conversion.
Last week, we got a letter saying these works have now been approved. One of which, is “cutting into the party wall to insert steel beams”.
Neighbour popped round the other day to get verbal agreement from us, saying that his other neighbour doesn’t mind and has agreed.
I was shocked he was trying to get verbal agreement, because my previous neighbour who did a lower ground extension, gave us a detailed party wall notice, with architectural drawings, and even got a surveyor for us to take photos before works began.
I pushed back to let him know I want a formal party wall notice - but it’s making me feel concerned he doesn’t want to go down the formal route. He said he’ll get the paperwork to me so I’ll wait to see if he really does it.
My ideal scenario is getting a surveyor to photograph our property before the work starts so there is evidence in case any further damage occurs.
However, on the phone my neighbour tried to guilt trip by saying it’ll cost him more to get a surveyor. Since he’s also in the building trade, he mentioned he’s getting “guys he knows” to work on his loft “so all the work will be good standard”.
Meanwhile he’s got a fancy Mercedes outside his home and just upgraded his work van to a newer model. Makes me feel like it’s a bit unfair he wants to save costs on a surveyor (which would make us feel more comfortable on big works like a loft conversion), while he’s splashing cash on his cars.
Any thoughts? AITA? How should I proceed with this? He mentioned works aren’t starting for another 2 months.

2024.05.28 20:55 JuicyMuffinz Should I report this as an IA?

Freshman year I was written up by an RA for being loud with a few friends in my dorm, and I completely forgot about it until a few weeks ago. The email I received says that "This letter serves as an official Housing Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution Letter of Concern and constitutes a Housing Warning... Should this behavior continue, the formal HSCR student conduct process will be initiated". Obviously I stopped being loud and had no other conduct issues throughout college, but I'm wondering if this will come back to bite me.
Is it worth reporting this? I don't think it will get my application tossed but I also don't want to put an unnecessary red flag in my application if I don't have to. LMK what you all think. Right now I am leaning towards just reporting it and saying how I became a more considerate person due to the incident, keeping it brief and not drawing too much attention to it.

Etymology and other trivia:
  • Tachyon Primal is named after PRIMAL ORIGIN, the OCG booster set in which Chaos Numbers 107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon was first released. Its artwork is based on the obscured Numbers 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon which appeared in the first opening of ZEXAL II, prior to the monster's first appearance in the anime. It could also be based on the "Dragon of Time", the previous form of Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon before it became an Over-Hundred Numbers.
  • Cloudragon is a portmanteau of cloud and dragon, and a counterpart to Galaxy-Eyes Cloudragon.
  • Schwarzschild is named after the Schwarzschild radius—the radius of an object such that, if all its mass were compressed within that radius, the escape velocity would equal the speed of light. The name also refers to a Schwarzschild black hole—a black hole that has neither electric charge nor angular momentum (non-rotating). Its title of Infinity Dragon serves as a contrast to the original Schwarzschild the Limit Dragon.
  • Dragluxion is named after a luxon—any particle that travels at exactly the speed of light and has zero mass (photons, gluons, and gravitons). The monster's appearance is based on the original Numbers 46: Divine Shadow Dragon - Dragluon adorned with a gold armor resembling Neo Tachyon's. It also slightly resembles Numbers 100: Numeron Dragon, referring to the legend surrounding these dragons in the anime, with Numeron Dragon being considered the true form of the Galaxy-Eyes. Its title of Golden Dragon is read jinlong in Chinese, referring to the character called Jinlong from the ZEXAL anime, who used Dragluon in his Duel against Kaito and was revealed to be the dragon itself personified.
  • Tachyon Spiral of Eradication is the attack name of Numbers 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon in the anime.
  • Seventh Tachyon's artwork depicts a scene from the ZEXAL anime in which a cloaked Mizael materializes and seals Numbers 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon inside a card.
  • Lord of the Tachyon Galaxy is named after the core booster set in which Numbers 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon was first released (as well as being its cover card). The artwork is based on a scene in which Tachyon Dragon uses its time-rewinding effect during Mizael's first Duel against Kaito.
  • The new artwork for Numbers 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon comes from an official 2014 OCG playmat.
  • X - Cross Cannon is named after the fact the English term cross is sometimes denoted with the letter X in Japanese media.
  • Y - Dragon Yearhead might be named that way due to 2024 being the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese calendar.
  • XYZ - Hyper Dragon Cannon's name is a mix of XYZ - Dragon Cannon with its attack name in the anime/manga: X·Y·Z Hyper Cannon.
  • Union Controller's artwork depicts a scene from the Duel Monsters manga in which Kaiba uses his Enemy Controller to take back control of X - Head Cannon after Yugi had stolen it from his field, during their Duel in the Battle City semifinals.
  • Union Activation's second effect is a reference to how in the anime and manga, XYZ - Dragon Cannon was treated as three sacrifices for the summon of Kaiba's The Giant God Soldier of Obelisk.
  • Hoodie is named after monkshood, one of the names of Aconitum (also known as aconite or wolfsbane)—a genus of poisonous perennial plants with a distinctive helmet-like shape.
  • Aqua Angel is based on Aqua, one of the Ignis from the VRAINS anime who became Aoi Zaizen's partner and gave her the Marincess cards. Her second effect of revealing the opponent's hand and face-down cards is a reference to Aqua's ability to read people's minds. The plant it's based on is a type of water hyacinth called the mizuaoi in Japanese (Monochoria korsakowii).
  • Drummatis is a portmanteau of drum or drummer and Clematis—a genus within the buttercup famiily, composed of mostly vigorous, woody, climbing vines and lianas.
  • Colchica is named after Colchicum—a genus of perennial flowering plants (which includes the autumn crocus and similar plants) that grow from bulb-like corms.
  • Noble Angel (Nōburu Enjeru) sounds similar to Blue Angel (Burū Enjeru) in Japanese, which was Aoi Zaizen's first avatar name in LINK VRAINS.
  • The Maiden with Blue Tears is a reference to Blue Maiden—Aoi Zaizen's third avatar name in LINK VRAINS—as well as a reference to The Angel with Blue Tears, a fairy tale book from Aoi Zaizen's childhood that she used as inspiration for her Blue Angel persona.

V Jump July 2024 Edition bonus card

Etymology:
  • Detonizing Kuribo's (Kiraikasuru Kuribō) artwork depicts a scene from the Duel Monsters anime/manga in which the many Kuribo clones created by Dark Yugi's Multiplication are absorbed by Pegasus's Thousand-Eyes Sacrifice. Kuribo's special ability at the time was called Detonization (Kiraika, lit. "mine transformation"), allowing it and its clones to blow themselves up and completely neutralize all of Thousand-Eyes Sacrifice's magical eyes.

2024.05.28 18:55 nflip3 [QCrit] Illustrated Poems/Picture Book? The Cat Who Caught A Ghost 800 First Attempt

Hey all,
I illustrate comics @iizcat starting my cat Minnie. I’ve built a decent social media following and one of my dreams is to get a collection published. I have a few illustrated poems that I’ve completed. Here is my query letter attempt… (I feel like I’m completely missing the mark here)
The project I am submitting is a collection of illustrated poems that star my cat, Minnie, from @iizcat.
@iizcat is a popular social media personality that features videos, comics, and pictures of Minnie. @iizcat has over 230k YouTube subscribers, 118k Instagram followers, over 350k Facebook followers, and 75k TikTok followers.
The five samples below are poems I wrote and illustrated called “The Night The Cat Was Abducted”, “The Cat In The Window”, “The Cat Who Caught A Ghost”, “The Cat And The Nutcracker”, and “The Cat Behind The Mirror”. A few of these poems have gone viral on social media including Reddit and Imgur.
I like to write about and from the perspective of my mischievous cat, Minnie. Minnie’s comics started as little doodles on the whiteboard of my refrigerator of my old apartment. Those doodles made my wife laugh and she encouraged me to draw them as comics and share them on social media. I was hesitant at first due to my colorblindness but I’m glad I took the leap because the comics of Minnie have gained a loyal following.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Thanks,
iizcat

2024.05.28 17:27 SufficientPaint9415 My first actual relationship!

I has fallen in love with my best friend, Ash, who did confessed to me that she loved me (but it was already revealed by her sister, so she felt it was forced out of her), but she then made herself uncontactable; she wouldn't answer and was hiding. I think she was afraid as I had never expressed (or at that point felt) romantic love for her. But from knowing about it, it bloomed into my chest and I just could stop thinking about her.
I choose to write a letter and gave it to her father. That day she sent a simple thanks, but to me it meant the world.
So I then made several physical photo albums and ecentric scrapbooks, over a couple weeks, and sent them to her. We then started to message each other again, but it was mostly pleasantries and nothing serious. I continued to create things that she liked; drawings, silly "scrap" scultures and some poems with her favorite references and inside jokes (they aren't great, so unsure if I want anyone else to read them) and gave them to her mother and/or father.
My sister kinda teased me about falling hard ("straight to the molten core") and she harped on me to try to visit Ash. But I'm a coward, at least when it comes to Ash.
She came to my home for exactly 6 days ago; taking with her several of the scrapbooks and homemade gifts, and we talked. Oh how we talked; spent the evening talking and even talked a couple of hours into the night. It all feels like a blurr, we discussed our entire past and when through the albums and scrapbooks. It was beyond refreshing. Over the time we talked we kinda attached to eachother. I'm not completely sure of the complete series of events, cause it happened so natural I didn't realize it, but first our hands touched eachother while looking through the album and we just completed each action, our hand meeting. I'm sure I blushed the first time but then it just got lost and she ended up half in my lap, her head on me should and my hand going from her back and into her hair and back down, while she softly held on to my left arm. We cuddled like that and then it happened! She kissed my cheek and we just stilled. At that point the rope that keept most of the affection at bay snapped. I turned her around and just kissed her, right on the lips. It was magical, and I just couldn't stop. Of course I had to be "adorkable" (her words, not mine) and professed my eternal love (so damn cheesy, looking back now its so embarassing) to her. She cried and sorta knocked me to "the ground" (couch, but that doesn't sound as dramatic). Well, she reciprocated my feelings (kinda obvious, but still, I need to mention it every time, I just can't believe it ❤️)
We have been spending some time together and recently had our first date and I can't stop smiling ❤️
Love you all ❤️ (maybe weird to say, but I just want everyone to feel at least on ounce of what I feel) ❤️

2024.05.28 16:00 number9muses PotW #98: Rachmaninoff - Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini

Good morning everyone, had to repost this because of a typo / mind slip, so happy Tuesday, and welcome to another selection for our sub's (semi) weekly listening club. Each week, we'll listen to a piece recommended by the community, discuss it, learn about it, and hopefully introduce us to music we wouldn't hear otherwise :)
Last time, we listened to Strauss’ Death and Transfiguration. You can go back to listen, read up, and discuss the work if you want to.
Our next Piece of the Week is Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (1937)

Score from IMSLP

some listening notes from Harlow Robinson
Sergei Rachmaninoff was far from the first composer (others include Chopin, Brahms, and Liszt) to find vicarious creative excitement in the explosive personality of superstar violin virtuoso Nicolò Paganini. One of the most vivid, highly publicized, and widely imitated musician-composers of the 19th century, Paganini (1782-1840) dazzled audiences with his superhuman technique and gaudy showmanship, and scandalized them with his voracious appetite for women and gambling. Observers astonished by the unprecedented scale of his talent repeatedly accused Paganini of having supernatural powers gained through a Faustian pact with the devil. Even the German poet Goethe, who knew a thing or two about Faust, found himself at a loss for words when confronted with Paganini: “I lack a base for this column of sunbeams and clouds. I heard something simply meteoric and was unable to understand it.”
Although Paganini’s music is not considered by most critics to possess much substance or gravitas, having been created primarily to showcase his circus-like acrobatics on the strings, its exuberance and charm cannot be denied. Nowhere are these qualities more attractively displayed than in the Twenty-four Caprices for Solo Violin (Ventiquattro Capricci per violino solo), Opus 1. Begun when Paganini was still a teenager, these pieces, each one ornamented with astonishing technical tricks like filigree on a shiny jeweled surface, contain what one writer has described as “a whole school of violin playing.” Brahms called them “a great contribution to musical composition in general and to violin in particular,” and was particularly drawn to the last in the series, No. 24 in A minor, itself a set of eleven variations on a beguiling simple tune. So taken was Brahms with Paganini’s theme that in 1865 he completed a major work for piano based on it: “Studies for Pianoforte: Variations on a Theme by Paganini, Books 1 and 2.” Franz Liszt, himself a renowned virtuoso and admirer of Paganini’s theatricality, also made an arrangement of Paganini’s Caprice No. 24 in his Six Grandes Études de Paganini for solo piano. Rachmaninoff, then, was treading upon well-worn soil when he decided in spring 1934 to produce his own work for piano and orchestra using this same little flexible and malleable tune. Nor was Rachmaninoff the last to draw water from this well. In more recent years, composers as diverse as Lutosławski, John Dankworth, and Andrew Lloyd Webber have created pieces inspired by Paganini’s Caprice No. 24.
In his biography of Rachmaninoff, Barrie Martyn has explained why this theme makes such good material for variations. “It enshrines that most basic of musical ideas, the perfect cadence, literally in its first half and in a harmonic progression in the second, which itself expresses a musical aphorism; and the melodic line is made distinctive by a repetition of a simple but immediately memorable four-note semi-quaver [sixteenth-note] figure.” The circular theme (in 2/4) divides into two equal parts, the second being an elaboration of the first, and returns firmly and effortlessly to the tonic key of A minor. Perhaps even more important for a theme used for variations, it is immediately recognizable and distinct, even hummable, so that it retains its lightly muscled contours even through drastic transformations. In his variations for solo piano, Brahms had used the theme much as Paganini did, as a springboard for demanding technical exercises without a clearly defined overall structure. What Rachmaninoff did in his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini is quite different, going far beyond the theme to create a large-scale concerto-style work for piano and orchestra with a clear and independent sense of formal design and sonority.
As numerous commentators have suggested, the Rhapsody is less about the theme of Paganini’s Caprice No. 24 than about the myth of Paganini, the quintessential Romantic virtuoso. As a renowned virtuoso himself (this aspect of his career had become especially pronounced in the United States, often to his irritation), Rachmaninoff was clearly drawn to the image of Paganini, particularly the persistent rumors of his demonic character and connections. This explains why, in the Rhapsody, Rachmaninoff chose to juxtapose Paganini’s theme with prominent quotations from the familiar Dies irae theme of the Catholic Requiem Mass. This theme (also used in the Symphonie fantastique of Berlioz, among numerous other works) had traditionally been associated with death and supernatural forces, and also shows up in several other of Rachmaninoff’s later scores (the Piano Concerto No. 4 and Symphonic Dances).
That Rachmaninoff found a strong emotional connection with Paganini seems to be confirmed by the (in his case) highly unusual speed with which he completed the Rhapsody. It took him only seven weeks, from July 1 to mid-August of 1934. Not long before, he had moved with his family to a villa constructed for him near Lucerne, their first permanent home since leaving Russia soon after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. Exile from Russia had already taken a strong emotional toll upon Rachmaninoff. After 1917, he would produce only four orchestral works: the Symphony No. 3, the Piano Concerto No. 4, the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, and the Symphonic Dances. Most of his energy went to making extensive tours as a virtuoso: he played sixty-nine dates in the 1934-35 season alone. Rachmaninoff complained of this punishing schedule in a letter written a few weeks after he finished the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. “Shall I hold out? I begin to evaporate. It’s often more than I can bear just to play. In short—I’ve grown old.” At the time, Rachmaninoff was 61 years old, just four years older than Paganini was when he died, burnt out by the frenetic existence of a virtuoso.
By the time he composed the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Rachmaninoff had already completed four large concertos for piano and orchestra and was a master of the form. Evidently he was at first unsure what to call the new composition, considering such titles as “Symphonic Variations” and “Fantasia” before settling on “Rhapsody.” The label of “Rhapsody”—which implies no particular form and has been used to describe very different kinds of works—belies the fact that the piece has a highly planned formal structure that corresponds rather closely to that of a traditional sonata or concerto. The twenty-four variations on Paganini’s theme are grouped into three sections. The first ten, in A minor, constitute an opening movement, with the introduction of the Dies irae theme in variation 7. (It reappears in variations 10, 22, and 24.) After the dreamy, transitional variation No. 11, variations 12 to 18 proceed like a slow movement, moving gradually from D minor to D-flat major for the climactic (and longest) variation, No. 18. Here the Paganini theme appears in inverted form, first in a sublimely lyrical twelve-bar passage for the soloist, then joined by the strings—music destined to become some of the most famous Rachmaninoff ever created. Returning to A minor, the final six variations act like a finale, featuring several impressive cadenzas. The last of these thunders downward through a resurgence of the Dies irae theme before halting abruptly at an amusingly understated restatement of the jaunty tail end of Paganini’s theme.
In the Rhapsody, Rachmaninoff overcame the crisis of confidence he had experienced in composing the Concerto No. 4, which he revised several times without ever feeling entirely satisfied. Here, he joined his long-admired gift for soaring, soulful melody with a fresh structural ingenuity. By turns playful, melancholy, military, and dramatic, the twenty-four variations are brilliant not only individually, but as part of a unified artistic whole. Of the New York premiere of the Rhapsody by the New York Philharmonic under Bruno Walter with Rachmaninoff at the keyboard, Robert A. Simon wrote in The New Yorker: “The Rachmaninoff variations, written with all the composer’s skill, turned out to be the most successful novelty that the Philharmonic Symphony has had since Mr. Toscanini overwhelmed the subscribers with Ravel’s Bolero.”

2024.05.28 15:32 Salty-Ant3475 Edit files from the office network drive

Hello everybody.
I work as an engineer and we have out network drive on the office, which i can access through a VPN and the app "FileBrowserGo". We do not syncronize in any cloud storage, but that app has a monthly suscription. The drive on Windows has a letter assigned (Y:\\XX.X.X.XXX\folder)
I would like to be able to open PDF files, among others, on my ipad so i can draw and write on top of it and it's automatically updated in the network drive. I am able to use Microsoft 365 suite which works super well, but I constantly need to take notes on PDFs and sending them on email, etc etc it's completely out of the question since I need something that actually works in order to do actual work.
Do you guys have any idea?
Thank you very much!

2024.05.28 14:52 Old_North8419 How difficult are both of these languages for native speakers of "Romance" or other European languages to learn and fully grasp their grammar & writing systems?

To be clear, I'm talking about languages such as Italian, Spanish, French or Portuguese. (I mean Romanian is also one of them.) They all have gender cases including gendered nouns. I do keep hearing that English speakers have an 'easier' time to learn them due to them having an alphabet, plus they are considered "Romance" languages. (I'm not going to talk about that here, as there are many posts mentioning them.)
Instead, I'm discussing on how hard are both Mandarin & Japanese for native French, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese speakers to learn? Since both JP & ZH are completely alien to European languages in terms of their writing system, grammar or syntax, so they have no common ground with the European framework in regards to their orthography or grammar.
Even though Japanese has hiragana / katakana, it does not mean they write every word like that, since they have Kanji. (It helps condense sentence length, also that makes it clearer to tell the difference on what the correct word is, as some sound exactly the same but have different meanings altogether.
The features that each language has:
Mandarin Japanese
Tones (4-5) Pitch accent
Classifiers (for counting) Counting words
Stroke order (differs from Japanese) Stroke order (differs from Mandarin)
Word particles (different from Japanese) Word particles (different from Mandarin)
Polite language (formality) Keigo & Honorifics
Sentence structure: SVO Sentence structure: SOV
Untranslatable nuances Untranslatable nuances
From both ZH & JP: 1 漢字 equates to a SINGLE word in which multiple letters are needed in European languages to spell out. Both Kanji & Hanzi are drawn from visual concepts on how they interpret a word based on semantic meaning. (Characters are fun for caligraphy practice, it's also a work of art.) For reference, take the Kanji & Hanzi:
[The stroke order between both languages are different despite having the same character for some words, since they are both different languages after all.]
The shape of the character is derivative on how its visualized.
Japanese - 訓読み:かわ・音読み:セン
Mandarin - Pinyin: Chuān
For instance, take the kanji & hanzi:「軍」
As you can see, a single kanji & hanzi already equates to 1 word as it is logographic, which will require multiple letters in Romance languages to spell.
Kanji from Japanese has multiple readings for ONE character, for example:「行」
An example of a Kanji, but as indicated their phonologies change depending on how it used within a word, or placed in a sentence.
Kunyomi: Native Japanese Reading of a kanji.
Onyomi: Reading of a kanji derivative of Mandarin phonology.
Nanori: These readings only apply when a kanji is used within a persons name.
That is also another "complex" part of Japanese, as kanji has multiple pronunciations alone. (Yep, this applies to most of the 2,136+ characters having their own assigned phonologies that differ.)
This often gets lost in translation (like all the time!), as ONE character can imply so many definitions depending on the context you associate it with, in a literal or figurative sense. As opposed to European languages, the translation is mainly consistent with what you put it for "common" words but there are some that can also pose multiple meanings.
Japanese & Mandarin Romance (Euro) languages (letter count)
They have a large amount of characters, getting the feeling like it's 'limitless' but they contrast around 2,000 - 10,000+ in their total amount. French (26), Spanish (27), Italian (21) & Portuguese (26) As they are alphabetical, you read each letter as it is.
Both languages have zero concept of gender cases as it's not a thing in Japanese & Mandarin. They have gender cases and gendered nouns (Whether it is FR, ES, IT or PT.)
On the other hand, they both have idioms and proverbs you can create out of 4 characters, conveying a proverb and idiomatic phrase (both in a literal & figurative sense) using only 4 characters:
As mentioned, they only use 4 characters to construct a proverb & idiom.
I mean, can you also do this in European languages: only using 4 short words alone? (To create a proverb that still conveys an idiomatic meaning with only 4 words.)
Both Mandarin and Japanese have radicals (on both hanzi & kanji) which are building blocks of their characters, that radical has a meaning on its own as it's derivative of an existing word, but when associated with another kanji & hanzi. (Hence why some characters look similar to one another.)
The connotation of its meaning can change, but the theme surrounding the vocabulary involving the radical still conveys a message despite it being a different word entirely, even though the radical is present in an unrelated word that does not relate to the meaning of the radical.
As shown, pay close attention to the radical present in these words. (Despite some of them having the same one, they connotate a different word entirely.)
The Kanji in Grey: Unreleated words surrounding the radical present.
The Kanji in Pink: Related words surrounding the radical present.
Be careful not to get these mixed up, you need a good eye to distiguish them apart.
List of words from Mandarin containing the radical 女.
The Hanzi in Pink - Words associated with nouns relating to girls & women.
The Hanzi in Purple - Words associated with a "positive" connotation.
The Hanzi in Maroon - Words associated with womanhood.

Japanese

They have 45 ひらがな & 45 カタカナ but that is only scratching the surface, not forgetting to include over 2,136+ 漢字 with readings such as: 訓読み, 音読み & 名乗り for each character, imagine doing that 2k times, knowing all the phonologies for most or all of them.
The grammar too is alien to all European languages, as what is stated last in a [EU lang] sentence is positioned at the beginning in Japanese. On top of kanji implying more than one definition as it is dependent on context, also the reading can change if its paired with kana or another kanji.
For example, take the sentence「ジュールズさんが家族と家でフランス語を話します」(You can clearly see as indicated by the word positionings: Japanese word order is SOV while the translations below it are complicit with the SVO order as usual in European languages.)
As shown here, the sentence strutcure in Japanese is very different to the counterparts in French, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese. (Indicated in color)
The さん (in red) is a honorific. (More about that later.)
Subject omission is common in Japanese, as they don't always need to include words like (I am, me, we, us, etc.) as opposed to European languages where it's needed, since you are already inferring to the speaker in question, so it is a lot more straight forward. For instance:
From this sentence (私は) is omitted in Japanese. (Translations conveyed in brackets and light text.)
To speakers of Romance languages, can you omit words like "I am" or any pronoun alike and still be understood by the other party? (Can it really work?)
For example, in Portuguese: instead of saying "O meu nome é Francisco" > just put it as "Francisco" [Omitting O meu nome é] (in Japanese that is connotated as フランシスコです - without 私は)
I won't forget 丁寧語、尊敬語、謙遜語 which are all part of 敬語 in Japanese, especially in verbs as to express a level of politeness (in corporate or formal setting) to empathize respect to the other party to not be connotated as rude (you can use the 'normal' variant but that will come off as impolite - in let's say a business meeting or any formal event / setting.), between a "dictionary" form including teineigo, sonkeigo & kensongo. For instance:
As you can see, all 4 variations of 1 verb exist in Japanese, keeping in mind with the level of formality on which variant you'll use. (They all mean 1 verb, but connotate different levels of politeness, empathizing the level of respect or decorum.)
For example, you would not use 言う in an formal setting when talking to people within either a business or special occassion where decorum is required, you would instead use 申し上げる or something amongst the lines of おっしゃる depending on the situation and setting or formality.
Is there anything like this in European languages to this extent? If not, then this will be difficult for you all to fully understand as there's verbs in Japanese that do this based on the level of decorum incuding the setting you are in, the people you are talking to.
The honorific system in Japanese is often "lost in translation" as evident in both manga or anime (what I hate about translation is that they transliterate it instead of coming up with an equivalent), as there are many levels of politeness and formality within their language, for example:
日本語 Roughly equivalent to:
博士 (はかせ) Dr. / PhD
後輩 (こうはい) Junior
先輩 (せんぱい) Senior
先生 (せんせい) Teach / Mr / Mrs
様 (さま) Mr / Mrs (Formal variant, eg. clients, judges)
さん Mr / Mrs (Addressed towards grown ups)
たん (Refers to babies)
ちゃん (Refers to young children - boys / girls)
殿 (どの) (Formal / archanic ver: of you)
君 (くん) (Semi-formal title referring to men)
氏 (し) (Used for family names or important stuff alike)
陛下 (へいか) Your Majesty
殿下 (でんか) Your Highness
閣下 (かっか) Your excelency
坊 (ぼう) (A term for endearment regarding young boys)
被告 (ひこく) (Addresses the accused - legal / court)
容疑者 (ようぎしゃ) (Addresses the suspect - police / legal)
受刑者 (じゅけいしゃ) (Addresses the one convicted - legal / court)
Of course this also gets lost in translation, in European languages as they OFTEN just romanize the term, which is not how you are not meant to translate it. (If there is no actual equivalent in European languages, just omit it instead of transliterating it.)
In regards to Kanji: there are words that bare the same phoneme, but keep in mind of numerous kanji variations that also possess the same phonology, with each having their own separate meanings. For example, take the onyomi reading for カン -
I only listed 100 kanji that are pronounced the same, but there are 286 more with the same sound: カン (By the way, each kanji has their own definition.)
This phoneme (カン) alone comprises 386 漢字 in Japanese, some of the characters have become 'obscure' in their usage, as in you don't even know they existed until you've looked hard enough. (Even native speakers don't know all of them.)
How difficult is this concept for speakers of European languages to remember and fully grasp? (Some of the kanji are used for people's names.)
The most diffcult part a "word" can have various meanings for one phoneme, take for example 「こうか」which comprises of 39 words with this pronunciation, so depending on the sentence you are listening to or reading, you got to infer the correct one based on context. Also, Japanese has 188 word particles in total. (I won't list them all.)
I can only think of 54 word particles that are used in Japanese sentences. (Although there are quite a lot, with specific uses.)
In terms of how counting works in Japanese, it is not like in European languages at all. Japanese has 助数詞, which are counting / measure words used to count the number of things, actions, events, items, and etc. to make it clear on what you are exactly counting.
A list of Japanese 助数詞 - (There's about 350 of them, but I won't list them all.)
There is so many counter words in Japanese, that even native speakers don't even use ALL of them, as their uses are situational or only applicable in some instances.
Counting suffix (within a number / qty.) A rough summary
A counter for [things] in general, as it is also commonly used in Japanese.
Counter for [no. of pieces] or some things, you see this word in relation to let's say: food.
Counts books, pens, pencils, nail clippers, etc. (This one is quite versatile in its usage.)
Equiv. to no. of reams of paper, no. of pics, also counts bath mats, credit cards, clothing, etc.
Used for counting [small / medium] animals (eg. household pets or other small creatures.)
Counter for [no. of livestock] or large animals such as elephants, whales, camels, etc.
Primarily a counting suffix used for documents or books (equiv. to: Olivier read 3 books.)
Counting word in relation to the no. of vehicles (such as trucks or cars) for example.
Counter word for birds (specifically) but can be used to count rabbits too.
Used to refer to no. of storeys or floors within a building. (eg this apartment has 20 floors.)
Refers to the no. of [cans] such as soda cans, tins, paint cans, etc. (When empty, use: 個)
Refers to no. of [books / comics] in a series. (equiv to: Carlos read all 7 harry potter novels.)
切れ Refers to no. of [sliced food] (equiv. to: Maria sliced 4 loaves of bread for her sibilings.)
As a counter, it refers to [times] bitten in food. (equiv. to: Pierre took one bite from a scone.)
Refers to the no. of [cases / incidents] but this counter has versatility in its usage.
For example, the counting word 羽 is present in Japanese (regardless if it is singular or plural), as it is needed to be specific on the indicator within a numerical unit of [something / someone / event / action, etc.] to clarify what you're referring to.
As highlighted, the presence of the counting word is needed. It's not conveyed in the translations displayed below.
Pitch accent is another part of Japanese phonology, as the word can change based on the volume of each phoneme depending on your pronunciation, it connotates a different word altogether affecting the overall meaning, on what you actually want to say. For example, take むし -
Accent 1 is noted as High Low & Accent 2 is noted as Low High. The pitch accent connotates a different word despite them both sounding similar to one another, as in adjusting the volume of one phoneme upon your pronunciation.

Mandarin

7,000 - 80,000+ 漢字 (There are dictionaries that state the existence of around 106,230 漢字 in Mandarin.) However a modern dictionary only features 20,000 hanzi while an educated native speaker memorizes 8,000 hanzi but reading a newspaper only requires knowing 3,000 hanzi.
The sentence structure is different from Japanese (as it is SVO), although their wordings can imply more than one definition, as it is also dependent on how you associate it within a sentence, keep in mind too that they also have tones embedded within their phonology.
For example, take the sentence「醫生根據病人的病情以最好的方式治療他們」(You can clearly see the differences, as indicated by the word positionings - shown in color.)
As shown, the positioning of the words from Mandarin are different despite the word order being SVO, the translations are still different regardless.
Another feature that Mandarin has are separable verbs. (It may sound confusing at first) From this example, take the verb: 見面 (Rencontrer / Incontrare / Conocerte / Conhecer) used here:
As indicated, the hanzi 面 is omitted since 見 already conveys the verb.
Can you also do this in French, Spanish, Italian or Portuguese?
In this example, an extra hanzi (了 - as an particle / indicator: past tense) is added in the middle but the verb 吃飯 (Repas / Mangiare / Comer / Come) is still intact:
As the hanzi 了 is placed inbetween both 吃 and 飯, but the verb overall is still there.
From Mandarin - there are words that sound the "same" to the untrained musical ear, as it is a tonal language, so you need to keep that in mind, for example from pinyin: 'bi' consists of multiple hanzi depending on the tone you use, based on pronuncation.
All of them may sound the \"same\" to the untrained musical ear, but they are completely different words altogether. That is the difficult part of Mandarin for \"Euro\" language speakers as it's not a thing in their languages.
There are phonemes from Mandarin that comprise of a LOT of hanzi (that imply different definitions altogether, based on tones.) from 1 sound alone, such as this example below:
I can only think of 82 hanzi which all are pronounced as \"BI\" (there are perhaps more) but their tones connotate a different word. (Also, pay attention to the radicals.)
Like Japanese, Mandarin has word particles too. For example:
Some word particles present in Mandarin. (Although there are perhaps more.)
Akin to the Japanese counting system, Mandarin has 漢語量詞 which are classifiers used to count the number of things, actions, events, items, and etc. to make it clear on what you are exactly counting, that classifier is tied to a specific category and usage.
As indicated, the classifer 輛 is required to be within the sentence in Mandarin. (As you can see from the translations, an equivalent word for that classifier doesn't exist.)
A list of Mandarin 漢語量詞 - (There's quite a few, but I won't list them all.)
Although these classifers can imply multiple meanings and uses, it's context specific though if you want to know what that classifer is referring to.
Classifier (no. / qty. of something / action) A rough explanation
Refers to no of. [lines / sentences] (equiv. to: Sam wrote on the first 2 lines of his book.)
Refers to no. of [rounds / bullets] (equiv. to: Diego fired 20 rounds from his M16A4.)
Refers to [letters - mail] (equiv. to: Ella opened 4 letters coming from the city council.)
Refers to [long thin] objects, eg. needles. (equiv. to: Jack only found 1 needle in a haystack.)
No. of trees (equiv. to: Alice planted 6 trees around the park not far from Paris.)
No. of vehicles (eg. Giovani spotted 3 cars in front of him during a traffic jam in Rome.)
Refers to [rows / columns] (eg. Adrian had to wait within a queue stetching 3 rows.)
Refers to [poems] (equiv. to: Theo wrote 7 poems within the first month or so.)
No of. [rinses / times washed] (eg. Henry washed his laundry for the third time.)
No of. [periods within a class] (eg. Claire skipped 2 study periods for her English exam.)
No of [students] (eg. Jean knew there were 20 other pupils in his English class.)
Refers to the [no. of blankets / sheets] (eg. James placed 3 bedsheets in the cabinet.)
Refers to [items grouped in rows] (eg. Sally saw 4 chairs untucked in the classroom.)
Refers to [no. of movies / novels] (eg. Chris Pratt starred in 3 films this year.)
Refers to [no. of packages / bundles] (eg. Reese received 3 bundles of bubble wrap.)
In European languages, do you also have counter words or classifers in relation to numerical units when referring to specific nouns? If not, than this concept from both Japanese & Mandarin might be a struggle to wrap your head around. (As there's one for EVERYTHING, quite a lot!)
Hanzi can be flipped to create:
  1. Reversal of verbs & adjectives
  2. Different meanings
  3. Similar meanings
  4. Loosely related definition
  5. Closely related definition
  6. Logical meanings
Japanese: Kanji can their positions swapped, but in doing so changes the meaning completely.

2024.05.28 14:43 Glittering_Garden_74 S+N=PL: A tinfoil read of the pink letter

Recently, this line in Varamyr’s prologue in ADWD was brought to my attention:
One by one they fell behind or forged ahead, making for their old villages, or the Milkwater, or Hardhome, or a lonely death in the woods. Varamyr did not know and could not care. I should have taken one of them when I had the chance. One of the twins, or the big man with the scarred face, or the youth with the red hair.
Who are these people Varamyr could have taken? Why would George give us descriptions of those people? Why have Varamyr remember these people specifically? Why have Varamyr remember anything about the people when he’s fucking starving and malnourished and delusional?
Because they’re going to be important later.
While I have some ideas on who “The twins” and “The youth with the red hair” are, in this post I’m going to be focusing on “the big man with the scarred face”.
A big man with a scarred face, now, who could that be? Sandor motherfucking Clegane of course! I can already hear you saying “But he’s at the quiet Isle! He can’t be in the north!”, but as is shown in this revolutionary new timeline, our timeline of a lot of the events, especially those in the north, is wrong, so it is possible Sandor took a ship to the north soon after Brienne left (or maybe during Brienne’s stay since the last time she sees him is when she has lunch in the septry). Cat’s skiff got from White Harbor to KL in a week or so, so it is completely possible Sandor went North and reached there a few months after the battle on the wall.
Ok, you say, He might be in the north, but what could that mean for the plot?
Why, because it means he sent the pink letter, of course.
The new timeline shows that Jon’s assassination took place a full month before Theon and Jeyne escape, so none of the suspects, other than maybe Stannis could have any reason to send the letter.
So the pink letter:
Bastard, Your false king is dead, bastard. He and all his host were smashed in seven days of battle. I have his magic sword. Tell his red whore. Your false king's friends are dead. Their heads upon the walls of Winterfell. Come see them, bastard. Your false king lied, and so did you. You told the world you burned the King-Beyond-the-Wall. Instead you sent him to Winterfell to steal my bride from me. I will have my bride back. If you want Mance Rayder back, come and get him. I have him in a cage for all the north to see, proof of your lies. The cage is cold, but I have made him a warm cloak from the skins of the six whores who came with him to Winterfell. I want my bride back. I want the false king's queen. I want his daughter and his red witch. I want this wildling princess. I want his little prince, the wildling babe. And I want my Reek. Send them to me, bastard, and I will not trouble you or your black crows. Keep them from me, and I will cut out your bastard's heart and eat it. Ramsay Bolton, Trueborn Lord of Winterfell
Why send the letter? To bring Jon south of course and hopefully draw Ramsay away, the original spearwife plan was originally to rescue Jeyne when the armies were outside battling, but they had to abandon that plan when no army came after a month and do the next best thing.
One of the first things you notice on your first read of the letter is the repetition of Bastard, and since it makes no sense for Ramsay to write it, it must be some other character who wrote it, and who do we know in the series who loves to curse? Sandor. He might have changed a lot on the quiet isle but cursing a hard habit to drop. Sandor probably really does think of Stannis as a false king with no claim, since it’s unlikely he knew about the twincest considering he spends most of his time in KL around Joffrey or being a regular Lannister guard. He also probably became more religious at the quiet isle and genuinely despises Stannis for turning to R’hllor.
So how does he know about the spearwives? Because he’s in winterfell of course. My guess would be he went to Eastwatch after his original ship crashed north of the wall and managed to smuggle himself on a ship and go to White Harbor, where he went into Wyman’s service, maybe he even went and specifically told Wyman about his mission to rescue Arya, and since most people in the North haven’t seen the hound before, it’s unlikely they would know who he was, or even think about it, considering the rumors that he’s around Saltpans. Only the Freys might know him, being from farther south, but they probably wouldn’t pay attention to a random Manderly guard.
Why would the spearwives let Sandor know who they are? Because Mance recognized him from his previous visit to Winterfell. This would also explain why grrm retconned Mance into winterfell in asos.
Why would Mance trust Sandor? He’d probably do what he did with Theon and have the spearwives bring him and interrogate Sandor, Mance is a pretty good judge of character
As for ‘your false king’s friends are dead’, Sandor from what he knows of Stannis thinks that Stannis has no friends, so he’s just having a jape, something he does continuously through the letter.
Sandor has also become far more religious at the quiet isle, so he thinks of all other religions (except the old gods) as false and sorcerous. His experience with the BwB also put his opinion of red priests down, making him call Mel a red witch.
How did Sandor send the letter? Probably with Wyman’s help, or maybe there’s a dead maester who’s gone missing in all the chaos at winterfell.
As for the signature pink wax, the quiet isle does have some trade, so the most likely scenario some ship carrying sealing waxes for trade came and Sandor asked the elder brother to buy him the pink one because it reminded him of the girlish stuff Sansa likes, along with kinda resembling the color of the weirwood (remember that the first time Sandor saved Sansa was when she almost fell on the serpentine steps coming back from the godswood.). In fact, since none of ‘Ramsay’s’ letters have a seal, it’s actually been Sandor, with Wyman and Mance sending the letters.
But why? He obviously came to winterfell hearing of Arya’s marriage and to save her, but it must have been clear during the wedding and after that the girl was not Arya, but someone else, namely Jeyne Poole, Sansa’s close friend *who was *taken away from her.
Sandor clearly thinks of himself as Sansa’s ‘protector’, and his time at the quiet isle has probably made him take that role even more seriously, so when he sees that Sansa’s close friend has been married off to a raving lunatic who’ll ruin her, he’d immediately think of Sansa and decide to save Jeyne, since he doesn’t know the spearwives or Mance well, he’d definitely not tell them and jeopardize the rescue.
As for the line, ‘the skins of the six whores’, I think Sandor’s increasing religiosity has made him increasingly take a line against alcoholism, which is probably pretty common in wildling culture, so he made them give him their wineskins and turned that into a cloak. But why hasn’t Theon seen him, you ask? Well, actually, he has:
Outside the snow was coming down so heavily that Theon could not see more than three feet ahead of him. He found himself alone in a white wilderness, walls of snow looming up to either side of him chest high. When he raised his head, the snowflakes brushed his cheeks like cold soft kisses. He could hear the sound of music from the hall behind him. A soft song now, and sad. For a moment he felt almost at peace. Farther on, he came upon a man striding in the opposite direction, a hooded cloak flapping behind him. When they found themselves face-to-face their eyes met briefly. The man put a hand on his dagger. "Theon Turncloak. Theon Kinslayer." "I'm not. I never … I was ironborn." "False is all you were. How is it you still breathe?" "The gods are not done with me," Theon answered, wondering if this could be the killer, the night walker who had stuffed Yellow Dick's cock into his mouth and pushed Roger Ryswell's groom off the battlements. Oddly, he was not afraid. He pulled the glove from his left hand. "Lord Ramsay is not done with me." The man looked, and laughed. "I leave you to him, then." -ADWD, The Ghost in Winterfell
‘False is all you ever were.’ We know Sandor’s dislike of lordlings and knights, thinking them false fakers who break vows easily, and he must’ve seen a lot of Theon while watching Joff in the yard and seen his shallowness. Sandor’s parallel for Theon’s situation with the Starks is being saved by the Elder Brother, who has become his brother in all but biology to him, and he saw how good Theon had it with the Starks, so he thinks of Theon as a kinslayer. There is also a moment of sympathy when he sees what has been done to Theon, seeing a bit of what he did to himself and turned himself into due to his hatred of Gregor.
Since Sandor came to Winterfell as a Manderly guard, it’s safe to assume he’s outside winterfell with the rest of the Manderly host, which might complicate Wyman’s defection to Stannis, because even if Stannis believes that he wasn’t involved in Saltpans (which is a pretty hard sell, especially since Wyman also has to convince Stannis that he didn’t kill Davos.), Sandor still deserted on the battle of the blackwater, and Stannis is not going to let desertion pass with no punishment, this is the dude who cut off Davos’ fingers after all. So Wyman will probably have Sandor mysteriously disappear and make it look like he deserted a few days before the defection. Most likely, Sandor will go to the wall to check what the fuck is going on and why Jon hasn’t come yet, which might mean he’ll be the one who reminds (or informs) Mel that she can resurrect people.
Tl;dr: Sandor sent the pink letter, and might be at the wall.

2024.05.28 14:37 Suspicious-Row-3614 Unveiling the Depths of Surah Ta-Ha: A Divine Tapestry of Comfort, Revelation, and Guidance

Unveiling the Depths of Surah Ta-Ha: A Divine Tapestry of Comfort, Revelation, and Guidance
https://preview.redd.it/gg8szttmw53d1.png?width=679&format=png&auto=webp&s=873e8734fe23f8ac762eb96a9de939fd9851c782
Surah Ta-Ha, the 20th chapter of the Holy Quran, stands as a cornerstone of Islamic scripture. Its enigmatic opening with the letters “Ta” (طه) and “Ha” has captivated scholars for centuries, sparking diverse interpretations that add layers of meaning to the surah. This article delves into the rich tapestry of Surah Ta-Ha, exploring its themes, drawing upon specific verses from the Quran, and highlighting its significance for Muslims worldwide.
A Balm for the Prophet’s (PBUH) Soul
The surah opens with a verse that serves as a soothing balm for Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) anxieties. Allah (SWT) declares, “We have not sent down this Quran upon you to cause you hardship, But as a reminder for those who fear [Allah]” (Quran 20:2-3). This verse (ayah) establishes a comforting tone, dispelling any notion that the Quran’s revelation is a burden. Instead, it emphasizes its role as a source of guidance (تَذۡكِرَةٗ) for those who possess taqwa (fear and reverence for Allah).
We have not sent down the Quran unto you (O Muhammad SAW) to cause you distress, (Quran 20:2)
But only as a Reminder to those who fear (Allah). (Quran 20:3)
A Testament to Allah’s (SWT) Power and Majesty
Surah Ta-Ha then transitions into a powerful declaration of Allah’s (SWT) majesty. Verses 4 and 5 paint a vivid picture:
A revelation from Him (Allah) Who has created the earth and high heavens.(Quran 20:4).
The Most Beneficent (Allah) Istawa (rose over) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty).(Quran 20:5).
To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth, and all that is between them, and all that is under the soil. (Quran 20:6)
These verses (ayat) not only describe Allah’s (SWT) role as the Creator of the heavens and the earth but also establish His dominion over all creation. The imagery of Him establishing Himself upon the Throne (ٱلْعَرْشِ) evokes a sense of absolute power and authority.
And if you (O Muhammad SAW) speak (the invocation) aloud, then verily, He knows the secret and that which is yet more hidden. (Quran 20:7)
Allah! La ilahla illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)! To Him belong the Best Names. (Quran 20:8)
A Tapestry of Themes
Surah Ta-Ha skillfully weaves together various themes that continue to resonate with Muslims across the globe. Let’s delve into some of these core subjects:
  • Prophetic Narratives: The surah prominently features the story of Prophet Moses (Musa) (عليه السلام) and his confrontation with Pharaoh (فرعون). Verses 9 to 79 recount their struggle, highlighting the importance of faith and unwavering trust in Allah (SWT) even in the face of immense adversity ([Quran 20:23-79]). We see this exemplified in the verse where Allah (SWT) instructs Prophet Moses (Musa) (عليه السلام) and his brother Aaron (هارون): “Go, both of you, to Pharaoh; indeed, he has transgressed. And speak to him with gentle speech that he may accept or fear [Allah]” (Quran 20:43-44).
“Go, both of you, to Fir’aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed (all bounds in disbelief and disobedience and behaved as an arrogant and as a tyrant). (Quran 20:43)
“And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear Allah.” (Quran 20:44)
  • The Power of Prayer: Surah Ta-Ha emphasizes the significance of prayer (صلاة) as a form of communication and a source of strength for believers. Verses 14 and 15 instruct Prophet Moses (Musa) (عليه السلام) to rely on prayer in his mission: “And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear Allah.” (Quran 20:44). This highlights the importance of prayer not only as a form of supplication but also as a means of seeking guidance and support from Allah (SWT).
“And appoint for me a helper from my family, (Quran 20:29)
“Harun (Aaron), my brother; (Quran 20:30)
“Increase my strength with him, (Quran 20:31)
“And let him share my task (of conveying Allah’s Message and Prophethood), (Quran 20:32)
“That we may glorify You much, (Quran 20:33)
“And remember You much, (Quran 20:34)
“Verily! You are of us Ever a Well-Seer.” (Quran 20:35)
Allah said: “You are granted your request, O Musa (Moses)! (Quran 20:36)
  • The Day of Judgement: The surah serves as a powerful reminder of the inevitable Day of Judgement (يوم الحساب). Verses 15 to 16 depict the awe-inspiring scene: “Verily, the Hour is coming and My Will is to keep it hidden that every person may be rewarded for that which he strives.” (Quran 20:15).
“Verily, the Hour is coming and My Will is to keep it hidden that every person may be rewarded for that which he strives. (Quran 20:15)
“Therefore, let not the one who believes not therein (i.e. in the Day of Resurrection, Reckoning, Paradise and Hell, etc.), but follows his own lusts, divert you therefrom, lest you perish. (Quran 20:16)
Benefits of Reciting and Contemplating Surah Ta-Ha
By incorporating Surah Ta-Ha into their daily routines, Muslims can reap a multitude of spiritual benefits:
  • Solace and Comfort: The opening verses (ayat) offer comfort and reassurance, particularly during challenging times. Consider verse 25, where Allah (SWT) tells Prophet Moses (Musa) (عليه السلام), [Musa (Moses)] said: “O my Lord! Open for me my chest (grant me self-confidence, contentment, and boldness). (Quran 20:25). This verse serves as a powerful reminder that Allah (SWT) is ever-present and a source of strength.
  • Deeper Understanding of Allah (SWT): The surah delves into Allah’s (SWT) power, knowledge, and mercy, fostering a deeper connection with the Divine. For instance, verse 52 highlights His forgiveness: [Musa (Moses)] said: “The knowledge thereof is with my Lord, in a Record. My Lord is neither unaware nor He forgets, ” (Quran 20:52).
  • Prophetic Inspiration: The stories of Prophet Moses (Musa) (عليه السلام) and his unwavering faith inspire perseverance and steadfastness. Verse 54 emphasizes this, stating, Eat and pasture your cattle, (therein); verily, in this are proofs and signs for men of understanding. (Quran 20:54).
  • Motivation for Righteousness: The reminder of the Day of Judgement serves as a motivator to live a life in accordance with Islamic teachings. This is evident in verse 132, And enjoin As-Salat (the prayer) on your family, and be patient in offering them [i.e. the Salat (prayers)]. We ask not of you a provision (i.e. to give Us something: money, etc.); We provide for you. And the good end (i.e. Paradise) is for the Muttaqun (Quran 20:132).
They say: “Why does he not bring us a sign (proof) from his Lord?” Has there not come to them the proof of that which is (written) in the former papers [Scriptures, i.e. the Taurat (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel), etc. about the coming of the Prophet Muhammad SAW ]. (Quran 20:133)
And if We had destroyed them with a torment before this (i.e. Messenger Muhammad SAW and the Quran), they would surely have said: “Our Lord! If only You had sent us a Messenger, we should certainly have followed Your Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), before we were humiliated and disgraced.” (Quran 20:134)
Say (O Muhammad SAW): “Each one (believer and disbeliever, etc.) is waiting, so wait you too, and you shall know who are they that are on the Straight and Even Path (i.e. Allah’s Religion of Islamic Monotheism), and who are they that have let themselves be guided (on the Right Path). (Quran 20:135)
Conclusion: A Wellspring of Guidance and Inspiration
Surah Ta-Ha, with its rich tapestry of themes and powerful imagery, offers a profound spiritual experience for Muslims. It serves as a beacon of guidance, illuminating the path towards unwavering faith, righteous conduct, and unwavering trust in Allah (SWT). The surah’s enduring message transcends time and circumstance, offering solace in moments of difficulty, inspiration in times of weakness, and a constant reminder of the ultimate purpose in life – submitting to the will of Allah (SWT).
The beauty and eloquence of the Surah Ta-Ha continue to inspire Muslims to delve deeper into the Quran and explore its wisdom. Surah Ta-Ha is often recited for comfort and blessings, particularly during times of hardship or travel. Contemplating the meaning of the surah can lead to personal growth and a stronger connection with Allah (SWT).

2024.05.28 11:33 themeantoyou I've always liked my best friend's girlfriend...

I'm sure there will be many stories like this here but well, right now I'm a little depressed and would like to vent this here If only I had talked to her first, she and I would probably be together, or maybe not, but I am completely sure that we could have had something if I had talked to her first. We always got along very well, always, she is one of those girls who has a good sense of humor and turns simple moments into funny things, there were many situations that made me think that she likes me too, or I got to like her, because when she greeted me I noticed something different, it was not a simple hello and a hug, sometimes there were glances, when we saw each other sometimes I felt something from her, and well many more things, some would say that maybe I saw it that way because I have always liked her, but I'm sure I don't... things have changed, now I am in another country, they are not together anymore, even one day I dreamt that my friend told me *do you like her? if so tell her, i know she will make you happy and for me there is no problem for you to start a relationship, you are not going to lose my friendship* i have dreamed about her erotically, sometimes i imagine her, it has even crossed my mind to send her money or some things i know she needs, but they're going to find me out obviously, either she assumes it's me or she tells him and they'll draw conclusions and end up assuming it's me, I won't deny that I've even thought about telling him but it's been like *little seconds of madness* where I say to myself WTF? you're crazy¡ you're going to throw away years of friendship over something that doesn't make sense.
I've thought about sending him a letter anonymously, or sending him an email, but I'm afraid he'll know it's me, plus I feel like if I do any of those things I'm betraying my friend, that in a way I feel like I've betrayed him because come on, what friend really fantasizes about his best friend's girlfriend?
But what I am sure of, is that if I am in a situation where I know I am going to die, I will declare my feelings to her... by this I don't mean that I am thinking of kicking the bucket, not at all, it's just that I will not get to the end of my days without telling her how I feel about her.
The truth is that I would like to receive some kind of message, because I haven't talked about this with anyone, it's been maybe 7 years since this started... imagine, with whom I will have the opportunity to talk about this? only unknown people because there is no other way

“Her parents hired a hitman and a magician to take revenge on me” - the real-life love story of an Orthodox Indian priest
https://preview.redd.it/xrp8qaojh43d1.png?width=1170&format=png&auto=webp&s=c8d5fa8401cf9e299259c420ef2c481814a20359
Priest Clement Nehamaya, an Orthodox priest in the city of Chandrapur, India
https://preview.redd.it/knu5rmmph43d1.png?width=200&format=png&auto=webp&s=5e1d013b4d8071e994f73ccc99f96b5f5f0132c4
She was the daughter of our neighbors. Our houses were so close that we could hear each other's conversations. One day Catherine (the name she later received at her baptism) came to my brother and asked him to tell her... about Christ and Christianity.
She knew that our family practiced this strange and incomprehensible religion to most Hindus. We were Anglicans and my brother was even an Anglican pastor. Later, in 2012, it was he who would discover the truth of the Orthodox faith - first for himself and then for our whole family. I have already told “Thomas” journal about this long and difficult story of our conversion to Orthodoxy.
Chandrapur is a city in the Indian state of Maharashtra. Father Clement's hometown.
So, every night we would get together as a family and sing Christian songs, and she would listen. The rest of the time, she and her brother would talk about religion on the phone for long periods of time. As you can see, I have almost no part in this story so far. Almost, because my brother used my SIM card for calls - it was free of charge. A small thing, which would later become of great importance.
It was 2013. Katya, like the rest of our family, had already converted to Orthodoxy. And one day she suddenly tells her brother that her parents want to force her to marry a Hindu and asks for our help. We thought for a long time and decided... to steal her! We told her our plan to take her abroad and she agreed.
We bought black Islamic clothes, on the appointed day she was to pass at the specified place, and a car was already waiting there. She left the house as usual, said goodbye to everyone... and a few hours later she “unexpectedly” found herself in another country. My family and an Orthodox priest I know from Russia helped her financially. She stayed there only a few days. Realizing that it was not safe for her to be alone abroad, she returned to India and settled in the home of an Orthodox family, good friends of ours, who lived in another state.
But back to the day Katya ran away from home. It was evening, and her parents were getting worried. They're calling everyone, looking for her. They came to us - but we don't let them see us, we just sigh and say: “Yes, it's bad that she's missing!” Meanwhile, my brother was constantly in touch with her, everything seemed to be under control. But we made one mistake: she left her SIM card at home, and my parents quickly found it. They looked at the call history and saw that she often called my brother, but the SIM card was registered to me!
At night I started getting calls from her relatives. I took my rosary beads and started praying - I was scared. They called me to their house. They asked me where she was. I denied everything. They let me go, but said that tomorrow they would go to the police and there they would do everything to make me confess. And indeed, the next morning the police called me and invited me to the office. I didn't know what to do.
At that time my mother worked as a nurse, and at the hospital she told me about our problem. Her colleague advised us to contact a friend who, according to him, could help us in some way. When we went to him and told him about the family that was threatening us, he agreed to go with us to the police office. On the way to the police office, a neighbor calls me, I pick up the phone and hear, “Be careful, her parents have hired a hitman to kill you.” The voice on the phone even gave me the name of the killer. I immediately recounted the story to my brother and our new acquaintance. What our assistant said struck me: “Ah, I know him and I've been looking for him for a long time! How good it is that through you I will finally get to him.” Our mysterious friend made a few calls and said that the problem would soon be solved.
https://preview.redd.it/8g6zpegli43d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=52e544e6aa83da27683e95dae2993019762ebf07
As we found out later, our new friend turned out to be one of the city's top gangsters. He had long wanted to get even with the killer who had been hired especially for me. As soon as the killer found out who was looking for him, he instantly disappeared from sight and was never seen in the city again. When all this was revealed, we were shocked - before and could not imagine who this man who literally saved my life.
But that's not all. It turned out that Katya's parents, in order to harm me, hired... a dark magician! Neighbors suggested that we turn to another, “white” sorcerer, but we, already by that time having come to Orthodoxy, answered everyone: “We are Orthodox, and therefore we ask for help and intercession only from the Lord Jesus Christ. Every day the whole family read the Psalter. It seemed that every word was written about us and for us, in every line there was comfort from God.
But we still had to go to the police office. There we realized that the police had been bribed by Katya's parents. There was real psychological violence in the interrogation room, and no one was going to register my complaints about threats.
https://preview.redd.it/q0q0yy9ui43d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=6677e37f6dc260a9e1d185c8c2534ac82f588083
For long hours they tortured me with the same questions, but I kept repeating that I didn't know anything. Then they started beating other people in front of me, adding that the same thing would happen to me if I didn't tell the truth. “You're next,” one of the police officers said.
I saw the officer go for the baton. I went cold. But no sooner had he returned when suddenly one of the officers announced: the chief of police had come to the station for an unscheduled inspection. They were forced to meet him. “Get out of here,” they said irritably to me, for my detention was illegal and could anger their superiors.
That day the Lord saved me again! But for another week I had to come to the office and sit there until evening. This exhausting wait for the unknown was used as a technique to get me to start talking. No food or water, only my brother always by my side - and that cheered me up a lot.
They took my passport, which is also illegal. And I just had plane tickets to Thailand, where I was supposed to get a recommendation for admission to a spiritual academy in Russia. Now how could I fly away?
We went to a lawyer, told him the whole story. He agreed to help us get our passport back, but warned us never to call our problem a religious one: “Say that you fell in love, because in such cases even the state helps. Well, I had to agree. The passport was eventually returned.
Fifteen days passed. And so Katya returned to our city - she was very worried that she had caused our family troubles, and could not afford to hide. She was afraid that her further absence would provoke many more terrible things....
Immediately upon her return, her parents found her and locked her up at home. However, not even a month later, she ran away from them for the second time, already by herself. She called my brother because she had no idea what to do next. We decided that I would go to the airport and fly with her to New Delhi, the capital of India.
Streets of New Delhi
There is an organization in New Delhi that helps lovers to be together if their parents are against it. We went there as soon as we arrived.
We played the unhappy couple brilliantly, like real Bollywood actors! The representatives of that organization sent letters to the Ministry of Interior, to the police, to Katya's family, in which they made it clear that she and I were now under surveillance and protection. Then they also asked us to sign a bunch of different papers. Only later we found out that one of them was a marriage contract. And I wasn't even going to get married!
“What? How? Why?” - we were puzzled when we had the marriage certificate in our hands. And the organization that protected us replied: “You should have known! Isn't that why you came here?” The deed was done, there was no going back....
From New Delhi Katya went to the Indian state of Karnataka, to the home of our Orthodox friends, to start working and living a Christian life without fear of persecution. Meanwhile, I was still able to fly to Thailand. Then I exhaled a sigh of relief: “It's finally over!”

I stayed in Thailand for almost a month, got a recommendation and returned to India, and a year later I left to study at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy. Throughout this time, I realized that she was alone, in an unfamiliar city with strangers. We were constantly texting each other, as the possibility of going on video calls was not yet available at that time. All this continued for a year.
When at the academy found out that I was married, all my acquaintances began to reproach me: “You realize that she is alone there, suffering! As a Christian, you can't leave her, you have to think of something”. I resisted at first, since my task was accomplished - she was free and safe. But eventually I gave in. If it had been another girl, I doubt I would have agreed, but Katya, as I realized more and more, really did like me.
With my mom and brother we called almost every day, discussing what we could do. Katya, by the way, had moved into my parents' house back in 2014 - in India, a girl usually can't live alone, and in her case it was especially unsafe. Since she was my legal wife according to the papers, her family, even if they were in close proximity, could not do anything to her. My acquaintances helped Katya and me to stop hesitating: we knew each other well and understood the situation, so we decided to finally become a real family.
https://preview.redd.it/mp2nqpqvj43d1.png?width=2048&format=png&auto=webp&s=78f3d67867d4ffc251e2cc47b625d3336202e748
I spoke with Vladyka Ambrosius (Ermakov), who was the rector of our academy at the time, and he blessed us to get married, even agreeing to marry us at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy. And so in January 2016 we were married and began to live as real spouses, for which I still do not tire of thanking the Lord.
While I was studying at the academy, Katya lived in India with my parents. She came to Russia only twice: for the wedding and for the day of my chastening.
When I graduated from the academy, we returned to India together to serve the Lord there and preach the Gospel. Kathi's parents still don't want to establish a relationship. Slowly they started inviting her to dinner or for a walk in the city, but the neighbors always warn, “Don't go, it's dangerous.” For some reason they still can't accept our choice. But we have long since forgiven them.
Ekaterina, wife of Fr. Clement
https://preview.redd.it/0dzoeuh7k43d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=e0ea6de82b0c2df1adc43f8cf50d5de87767f8b4
My parents are Hindus, but I was sent to an Anglican school. There was a small temple there, which I started going to secretly from my parents. At first only out of curiosity. I knew that everyone in Clement's family was a Christian, so I decided to ask them about the unknown Christ and His house, to which I was drawn after my studies.
I called Clement's brother Polycarp, who was still an Anglican priest at the time, and he would tell me about Christianity. We could talk for hours! Of course, the calls were a secret: in an Indian family, the daughter does not have complete freedom, she is entirely subordinate to her father or older brother. I was obliged to practice Hinduism, but the more I learned about Christianity, the less I saw the truth in my parents' religion.
In time I realized that I wanted to be a Christian. I was secretly baptized outside the city by an Orthodox priest - he came to India just so that through the sacrament of Chrismation Clement's family, who had long dreamed of it, could join the Orthodox Church.
At first I tried to observe the external rituals of Hinduism, so that my parents would not suspect anything, and in my heart I prayed to Christ. But with time it became more and more difficult. I stopped going to the Hindu temple. At home, every Hindu has a small home “church” for daily prayer, and it was a place I began to avoid. Indian families are very conservative, honoring traditions, especially religious ones. A daughter must behave impeccably to preserve the honor of the family. That is why my “strange” behavior first alarmed and then angered my parents.
https://preview.redd.it/nu3nakthk43d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=71005e680392d96eff4e666d853c4a4f4056e5c9
Scolding and even beatings started. I was forbidden to continue my studies. I kept silent: it was frightening to talk about the fact that I had secretly changed my religion. One day my parents found my Bible, which Clement's brother had given me, wrapped in the cover of a dictionary as a precaution. That's when the truth was revealed.
They tore up the book and said, “If you don't give up all this, we'll give you in marriage.” And marrying a Hindu meant only one thing - total loss of freedom. My family was wealthy, so I got many offers from real millionaires, and I turned each one down. My parents were furious!
At some point, together with Polikarp and I decided that I had to run away from home. I first went abroad, then returned to India and settled with an Orthodox family in a distant city. I had no idea of the horrors that were happening to Clement and his family because of me! As soon as I heard about the situation with the police, I decided to return home so as not to put Clement at such risk. My parents took me from the police station where I went for help and put me under house arrest.
https://preview.redd.it/c9508gkpk43d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=5677d8cef2009cb83b7e232cea790535d74eb211
I thought it was all over, that I would never again be able to live a happy life in Christ. I could not stay alone because I was constantly guarded by a relative. But after 15 days I had an opportunity to escape. I was sent to visit a relative who was on my side. “Let's put it this way: you have five minutes while I sleep to escape from here,” she suggested, and I happily agreed.
I rushed straight to the airport. From there, completely confused and highly agitated, I called Polycarp, “I don't know what, but please do something because I left home.”
It was safe at the airport because there is a lot of security, but this security was also relative. Together with Clement, who came to visit me, we flew to New Delhi, and on the advice of a lawyer he knew, we went to a young couples' protection agency. We were unexpectedly married, even though Clement and I were not even in love!
https://preview.redd.it/786uarzwk43d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=251cf5139f57c37f5aacbf338659702ddb1b1e80
After that we separated. I stayed with an Orthodox family I knew in the state of Karnataka, where I found a job and was finally able to practice Orthodoxy freely. I knew that Kliment was going to enter a theological academy in Russia, and I knew about all his moves.
It was hard for me to realize that he and I could only be friends, since a real, non-fictitious marriage was out of the question. I realized that he was the one I saw as my husband, even if it was only in my dreams. He was a sincere man of faith, and I liked that very much. In addition, he had suffered so much, all because of me and my family - and how steadfastly he endured all the hardships! It was then that I felt how much I loved him.
I was incredibly happy when I heard that he wanted to marry me. I immediately packed up and came to Russia, to the St. Petersburg Theological Academy. As I remember now this day: January 24, 2016. It was then that we were joined in marriage in Heaven.
https://preview.redd.it/czghj4u3l43d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=de31b846d9808f0a2605f0c0fa7839284570b908
Fr. Clement gave me life - a new, free, happy life with Christ and in Christ. I am grateful to God for everything that has happened to us. After all, could it be that otherwise we would not have been together?
