Choosing the Perfect Scented Candle for Every Room in Your Home
The Importance of Scented Candles in Home Décor
Scented candles not only illuminate a room but also create a sensory experience through their captivating fragrances. They have the power to evoke emotions, set moods, and enhance the overall ambiance of a space. Whether you want to create a relaxing sanctuary in your bedroom or a refreshing atmosphere in your bathroom, scented candles can play a vital role in transforming your home.
Factors to Consider When Selecting Scented Candles

https://preview.redd.it/idd0t13dyq4b1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ed46ba18dccb98543e8ab7ea1135409a1097e2e
When choosing scented candles for different rooms in your home, several factors should be taken into consideration to ensure you find the perfect match. Let's explore these factors in detail.
1. Room Size and Candle Strength
Consider the size of each room when selecting scented candles. Larger rooms require candles with a stronger fragrance to effectively fill the space. Conversely, smaller rooms may benefit from milder scents that don't overwhelm the senses. Pay attention to the candle's scent throw, which refers to how far the fragrance can travel.
2. Purpose and Mood of the Room
Think about the purpose and desired mood of each room. For the living room, you may want warm and inviting scents like vanilla or cinnamon to create a cozy atmosphere. In the bedroom, soothing aromas such as lavender or chamomile can promote relaxation and better sleep. Energizing scents like citrus or mint are excellent choices for the home office, while clean and fresh fragrances work well in the bathroom.
3. Fragrance Notes and Personal Preferences
Consider the fragrance notes that resonate with you and align with the room's purpose. Floral scents like rose or jasmine can add elegance to a dining room, while woody or earthy aromas such as sandalwood or patchouli can enhance a study area. Trust your personal preferences and select scents that bring you joy and comfort.
Scented Candle Recommendations for Different Rooms
Now, let's explore some scented candle recommendations for various rooms in your home.
1. Living Room
In the living room, where you entertain guests and spend quality time with loved ones, opt for warm and inviting scents. Candles with fragrances like spiced apple, amber, or sandalwood can create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
2. Bedroom
When it comes to the bedroom, choose scented candles that promote relaxation and tranquility. Lavender, chamomile, or vanilla scents can help create a soothing environment conducive to restful sleep.
3. Bathroom
In the bathroom, you want to create a fresh and clean ambiance. Choose scents like eucalyptus, sea breeze, or citrus to invigorate your senses and add a touch of rejuvenation to your self-care routines.
4. Kitchen
The kitchen is often filled with delicious aromas from cooking. Complement those scents with candles that have food-inspired fragrances like vanilla bean, cinnamon roll, or freshly brewed coffee.
5. Home Office
For your home office, select scents that boost focus and productivity. Citrus scents like lemon or grapefruit can invigorate your mind, helping you stay motivated and energized throughout the day.
Tips for Maximizing the Benefits of Scented Candles
To make the most out of your scented candles, consider the following tips:
  • Trim the candle wick to a quarter-inch before lighting it to ensure a clean and even burn.
  • Allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the surface, preventing tunneling.
  • Place candles away from drafts to avoid uneven burning and soot buildup.
  • Store candles in a cool and dry place to maintain their fragrance potency.
  • Experiment with candle combinations in larger rooms to create unique scent blends.
Conclusion
Choosing the perfect scented candle for each room in your home can significantly enhance your living experience. By considering factors such as room size, purpose, fragrance notes, and personal preferences, you can create a harmonious atmosphere that aligns with your desired mood and ambiance. Remember to explore various scented candle options and have fun discovering the scents that bring joy and tranquility to your living spaces. So, go ahead and transform your home into a haven of delightful fragrances with carefully selected scented candles.

2023.06.08 08:42 aroace_sloth I've been continuously realizing how messed up my childhood was

(just gonna go ahead and say this is kinda me venting)
This year I've realized more and more that my childhood was messed up. I've been remembering some stuff and I am at a loss for words. My father literally held a gun up to my mother's head and told us to say goodbye to her because we were never gonna see her again. This happened on more than one occasion.
It's crazy how my dad was never arrested for this and many of the other worse things he's done. He was arrested for other stuff though, can't remember off the top of my head but my county hates my family, or at least those with the same last name.
It's sad that the school knew a tiny part of what was going on but never did anything about it. Even when people were called though my mom would like to them and they'd believe her, and we'd like to because my mom said that she would never ever be able to see us again if we told them what was going on, and to just say everythings good.
I even remember one time the electricity got turned off and my mom lit candles all around the house so we'd have some light. I can still remember the smell of them. I remember we had to take cold baths too, which I didn't mind much but I remember my brother and sister hated it. Around this time we kept getting lice too, which didn't help because we were already poor enough and barely had money for food.
Another messed up thing is that my father would take food to others woman's houses and feed them and their children, leaving us starving for days at a time. He either probably got sex or drugs out of it, not sure. I remember one time he kidnapped me and my brother and we had to stay in his car for hours while he went into someone else's home leaving us there, cold and scared of what was going to happen.
I also remember this time my father was hitting my mom and was also arguing with her. She kept arguing back, which was even worse, and also held us in her arms, well at least my siblings. I stayed away because I was scared and she kept trying to get me to come to her. At one point my father went to leave and I stood in between the two of them, unsure of what to do. My mother kept trying to get me and eventually got upset and yelled at me, telling me to go on and run to my dad because that was all that I cared about anyway, and that I didn't love her.
I ended up walking down there and scaring my father on accident because I was so quiet, my family sometimes thinks of me as a ghost, luring in the shadows and scaring people all while being deathly quiet or whispering, which was actually just my normal talking. Anyways, after I scared him he told me to go back up to my mother, I didn't want to make him more upset by explaining to him that my mom had sent me down here so I slowly made my way back to my mom. I was terrified because I thought my mom was gonna be really mad at me for not going to my father. I don't remember if she was because I only remember a few things from my childhood.
I'm honestly kinda scared to see if I'll remember anything else because the stuff I do remember is already really bad.
Sorry for kinda venting on here, thanks for reading though if you made it this far

2023.06.08 07:59 neusexpuppe So you can enjoy sex dolls for a long time

Lying in bed
Your Love Doll sleeps best with you. She prefers to be naked, lying on a thin sheet with a lint-free blanket. In this way, it protects the paper from creases, discoloration or stains.
use light colored detergent
RealDoll feels most comfortable in light colors as dark colors tend to fade. If you still use dark clothes, please wash them in time.
use a condom
A condom should always be used during intercourse to keep the inside of the Mini Sex Doll clean and fresh. Eliminate time-consuming vulvar douching.
Regular maintenance
The sex doll's skin should be regularly treated with unscented baby powder. As a result, it retains a refined finish and feels particularly realistic. For rough skin, use baby oil.
You should take your Silikon Sexpuppe into consideration. Do not use dark underwear
The miniature sex doll's skin may change color when wearing dark clothing. Therefore, dark pajamas, underwear and jeans must be washed several times before they are worn for the first time. In this case, use a mild stain remover.
Do not touch sharp objects
Use Große Po Sexpuppen sparingly and don't overstretch them. Always avoid contact with sharp or pointed objects. Otherwise the material may tear. When this happens, you can usually ask a professional to repair it. We're here to help.
Do not touch heat sources
Keep life-size doll away from heat sources such as fire, candles, hot wax, and other hot surfaces. Substance and airway may be damaged or damaged.
Do not store unwashed
Carefully clean your Große Brust Sexpuppe after each sex session to keep it fresh and clean. Your intimate opening has been rinsed and needs to be treated with our special toy cleaner. Nourish your skin with unscented baby powder and wrap in clean linen.

Light in Walt’s window above the fire station changed?
I think they changed the light in Walt’s window since the last time I was here a little over a year ago. I thought it used to be a smaller one or maybe a candle. Am I wrong? Or is this the light that has always been there? If it is changed, does anyone know why they changed it?

2023.06.08 07:03 MeowTownSupreme A Myst Collaboration?

Hi! I am a longtime fan of Myst, a computer game from 1993. I remember playing it in the early 90s with family, and i think it is still my favorite game of all time actually!
I used to do informal game development as a teen, but i have not done much game playing or game making since then, except up until recently, as I'm currently rediscovering the magic, and getting back into game dev after 20 years away from it!
My question is:
> Would anyone like to work together to create a modern-day Myst-like project?

It would be inspired by the feel of the original Myst itself (and not so much the sequels).
The goals are for maximum simplicity as much as possible while striving for the zenful, pensive, immersive feel, through vivid hinting, suggestion, and gentle prompting. Scenic and contemplative, embracing stillness.
We'll probably be using something like a VGA/CRT/scanlines/dithering/low-res effect to replicate the feel of the 1993 original, such as seen here https://ibb.co/428Khnr . And, i am thinking it to be in an entirely Still-image format, no camera motion at all! We might also employ some soft, non-uniform varied vignette structuring, as the game exists in the surrounding blackness. (The goal is to spur the imagination of the player, as a good book does, rather than showing them explicitly.)
There would be full orientation toward the "less-is-more" idea.
I am open to any thoughts, but i can mention some of my brainstorm examples. I have been throwing around the idea of the lit flame (campfires mainly, and maybe candles, lanterns, matches, torches) as a potential central theme component (kind of like how Books were central in the original). This is because (camp)fire connects to the idea of social bonding, especially during humanity's earliest days, as well as being the core root of all technological development in the birth of civilization. I also was hovering around ideas of monolith/obelisk(s), for their general feel, or you might say in vague allusion to 2001 Space Odyssey. Also i can't shake my affinity to include Books as a major element in some way too.
Maybe we'll integrate the four seasons, or day-twilight-night pluralities in some way. Gently-displayed text and sensory input, ambient sounds and subtle observationals, could play centrally. Lateral thinking challenges abound. There could maybe be themes on: the passage of time, the idea of sameness through past and future, or an emphasis on the mentality of just existing, rather than on playing to get to an end of a story. At the intro, we'll ask the player to make sure there are no distractions, no noise or light pollution, ask that they put their phone in a separate room. Maybe we'll even ask that they have no "mental distractions" either, nothing on their mind bothering them, before they start playing..
There could be various small "archeological sites" in the world, that hark back to various stages in human history, that end up tying into a grander theme, unknown at the beginning, but gradually becoming clear as time progresses. Perhaps stargazing or astronomy would be linked somehow, such as in the sense of solstice/equinox at such sites?
Those are some of the ideas.

Would any open-minded individuals with their heart in the same spirit like to collaborate on such a project?
I figure there will be a need for roles such as: concept artist, 3d artist, story writer, programmer, musician, and a couple actors, as i realize the portrayals of Atrus and his sons were a major driver in imbuing their story forward. Overall i hope to garner a small group, comprising generally folks with similar tastes, to throw ideas off of each other in brainstorming, and later in the ongoing refinement of the directions and particulars of the story.

2023.06.08 06:51 hijesushere Have you guys been indoctrinated into the cult of "Famous p- Holy Plumb you guys, yeah, you mean a-" yet? It's kind... algebra homework. Bread Pudding without either one: it's just an empty conceptual hole. I'd take meds if I were even your call cannot be completed as dialed. At the tone leave a voi

Lyrics in songs I've noticed.
Red Velvet
Oh hey! In the same dream
It kept calling us
Wonderland beyond distant memories
...........
Cntd
We we we strong, nothing missing
Wake up, the answer is Simple
Be Boss, blow the Whistle
The bigger world is noticing you.
Shall we have a festival? I hold your hand.
We've been waiting for this moment. Spread your wings and be yourself.
Come play at My carnival.
Climax? It starts now.
Watch out! We are making the rules.
......
It’s now or never, we got forever.
Sappy
;
You're sobbing and being pessimistic
You're hesitating again, you can't choose
Writing poems in your note, your hobby is sentimental
Look, now it's time to open the door
........
Tell me, which do you love?
It's not bad thing to dream
It's not a fairytale, it's the real world
What are you gonna do? Which one are you
gonna pick?
Reality or fantasy, adolescent boy?
I'm still clearing dating simulation games
using the manual
I'm still a long way from real love
.......
It's not that I don't like it
Escape from being just two-dimensional
Which one do you love?
Tonight let me know your true feelings
You'll really grow up then
Tell me, which one do you love?
(In the video the lyrics are "Logging out from delusion" for a part of it.)
That's not even getting into the imagery in the video.
Feel My Rhythm
Blowing up this fancy ball
We're back, cute chaotic delight
This is gonna be a crazy night
Epic appearance to stunning greetings
Let's have a little fun
Don't be shy, Bae bae
Let the play start
(Birds and wings everywhere in the video. Irene is shown offering strawberries to a gigantic statue of some sort which then falls towards her. Joy is seen standing in front of some type of being with wings, I can't tell what it would be though. Maybe o- I Cant tell, she's, yeah she's blocking the shot)
Imagine anything
Now cruising into a weird, new dimension
A place I've never imagined appears unexpectedly
Don't miss this moment, baby.
Don't confine yourself to yesterday or tomorrow.
I'm truly free right now.
Come ride with me (Sway)
Let's go anywhere (Way)
I want to mess all the boundaries
In this world (Oh yeah)
When the world stops What a what a feeling Come take my hand (All right) A brand new Film We falling deep, You and I Next time, spin the clock Where should we go? Come on, let's start again You and I
Everglow
You used to be afraid of the dark night (ah yeah yeah) Hiding without anyone else knowing (ah yeah yeah) No one say happy ending You stayed silent and ran away (Here we go Here we go like)...
Knock Knock There’s a monster It’s growing larger, the black hole inside of you When you back uh? The howler has swallowed you, that’s the killer Don’t be afraid, hold my hand Your past is making you scared But know your power For the final time, be first You know that I come first I’m the winner winner winner Yes, it’s the last melody To save save save you (so don’t keep) Don’t be deceived by the lie That there is no light in this world Together we will Dream a dream that’s never been seen before Dream a dream that’s never been seen before (Ya) It’s ok if you fall (stand up) It’s you (hands up) Faster Stronger Better Gotta be the best Between night and day, around 5:30AM A war without loyalty will suffocate you, this is a foul Lies, darkness, truth, ecstasy, fantasy My candle makes you explode like a fireworks of melodies in the dawn Don’t be afraid, hold my hand Your past is making you scared But know your power For the final time, be first You know that I come first I’m the winner winner winner Yes, it’s the last melody To save save save you (so don’t keep) Don’t be deceived by the lie That there is no light in this world Together we will Dream a dream that’s never been seen before I’m breaking down the walls, crossing the lines I won’t shrivel up, I’ll jump over one step You got me now got me now two step Don’t slow it down slow it down Shout towards the sky that comes to you Hold onto the key of hope...
Bon bon chocolate
go up to the sky
.
Avenged Sevenfold
Hate to twist your mind, but God ain't on your side
Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air 'Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal) So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head You're now a slave until the end of time here Nothing stops the madness turning Haunting, yearning, pull the trigger You should've known the price of evil And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare While your nightmare comes to life
You've been lied to just to rape you of your sight And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel) So sedated as they medicate your brain And while you slowly go insane they tell you Given with the best intentions Help you with your complications
You should've known the price of evil And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah No one to call, everybody to fear Your tragic fate is lookin' so clear, yeah Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare Ha, ha, ha, ha
And I know you hear their voices (calling from above) And I know they may seem real (these signals of love) But our life's made up of choices (some without appeal) They took for granted your soul And it's ours now to steal As your nightmare comes to life
Afterlife
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen So unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway This piece on Earth's not right (with my back against the wall) No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall) So out of place, don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign I've made up my mind Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye Please, understand I have to leave and carry on my own life
Creating God
Standing in the shade of altruism, answering the call Came a modern messiah to save us all Something far beyond the work of fiction, Positronic brain A world that's void of all the anguish and suffering, pain
We're creating god, master of our designs We're creating god, unsure of what we'll find
Never held a high regard for Darwin, selection takes too long A little kick in the pool shouldn't do us wrong Devouring the very last invention man would ever need But exponential growth is a frightening thing, indeed
Sometimes when I look up to the sky I have to wonder are we "summoning the demon" you and I?
Have you noticed that I'm needin' it more now, more than it needs me Got a couple of billion that seem to agree Surfing in an artificial dimension, but we're not alone Now the master has become just a stepping stone, oh
We're Creating, God.
Beast and the Harlot
This shining city built of gold A far cry from innocence There's more than meets the eye around here Look to the waters of the deep A city of evil There sat a seven headed beast Ten horns raised from his head Symbolic woman sits on his throne But hatred strips her and leaves her naked The beast and the harlot
The city dressed in jewels and gold Fine linen, myrrh and pearls Her plagues will come all at once As her mourners watch her burn Destroyed in an hour Merchants and captains of the world Sailors navigators too Will weep and mourn this loss With her sins piled to the sky The beast and the harlot
The day has come for all our sinners If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground Flee the burning, greedy city Looking back on her to see there's nothing around
The day has come for all our sinners If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground Flee the burning, greedy city Looking back on her to see there's nothing around I don't believe in fairy tales and no one wants to go to hell You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever
Welcome to the family
Hey kid (hey kid) Do I have your attention? I know the way you've been living Life's so reckless, tragedy endless Welcome to the family Hey There's something missing Only time will alter your vision Never in question, lethal injection Welcome to the family Not long ago you find the answers were so crystal clear Within a day you find yourself living in constant fear Can you look at yourself now, can you look at yourself? You can't win this fight
I try and help you with the things that can't be justified I need to warn you that there is no way to rationalize So have you figured it out now, so have you figured it out? You can't win this fight
And in a way it seems there's no one to call When our thoughts are so numb And our feelings unsure We all have emptiness inside, we all have answers to find But you can't win this fight!
I see you're a king who's been dethroned Cast out in a world you've never know Stand down, place your weapon by your side It's our war in the end, we'll surely lose but that's alright So have you figured it out now, so have you figured it out?
Bat Country
So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long, my vision's so unclear Now take a trip with me But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem
You've been breakin' down for far too long Far too many moons since you felt well and strong You see, you could say goodbye but you don't have to die Not ever
Engineer the wires to your brain Architect a code so you won't feel the pain With your family by your side and vigor in your eyes forever Live Forever I'm way up, a god in size, beyond the reach of mortals I shed my human side Father, oh father I stare at my reflection, have I lost that boy inside? Final paradigm What's it really mean to be a man? Think about your answer but please understand While it's natural to fear, I'll make it disappear forever I forever I'm way up, a god in size, beyond the reach of mortals I shed my human side Father, oh father I stare at my reflection, have I lost that boy inside? Final paradigm Singular I am I have the question if these thoughts are mine To live forever but did something in me die? I'm clawing my skin but I can't feel it inside I know the agony of pain would hurt so much better I'm way up, so far up Have I lost myself tonight? Mother, oh father Have you lost that boy you used to know?
Simulation
It seems I should have walked away Reverse the wager I've no means to pay Toto has pulled back the green tonight, in sight And blue pills coat with such disdain I wore the shades for so long That I've forgotten how to see The curtain rises but who dares to pull the strings
I know this might be hard for you to believe and all, But you only exist because we allow it I question all the voices in my head Are they mine or have I been misled? Total understanding doesn't seem to mean a thing When you can't see behind the silver screen, a figurine Can't you hear me scream? By the way of cosmic rays A subtle breakdown jarred the code display A simulation as I can tell, our cell Playing out a hopeless scene We stand to lose all our charm And faith just seems to wane A billion years can seem a stunningly short time You've been beaten down time and time again But still you find yourself at the center of it all I question all the voices in my head Are they mine or have I been misled? Total understanding doesn't seem to mean a thing When you can't see behind the silver screen, a figurine Can't you hear me scream? You hear me, you had one thing to do, one thing And you fucked it up, piece of shit Nurse, patient 666158 needs to be sedated We need 500 CCs of M Oh hello there, dearie I've been expecting you Posturing the way I feel Is truth only what we believe is real? Marvel the sketches that paint the night, starlight And take a breath before it's all erased away

2023.06.08 06:29 mabelcipher13 Can anyone tell me what could be causing this rash?

I’ve had eczema my whole life, and here in the past 6-8 weeks, I’ve been getting a rash like this all over my body. I have been using the cetaphil body lotion, and an aveeno intense moisturizer for sensitive skin. I don’t use any products with fragrance anywhere in the house. We don’t even light our candles anymore. I have a humidifier and an air purifier next to my bed. It only seems to be getting worse. I also started using beef tallow on my body and it has basically cured all my usual spots of eczema (inner elbows, backs of knees, neck, face) but my arms and hands will not relent. I’m seriously at a loss.
I had an appointment with my allergist last week but couldn’t be seen because my old primary insurance expired but my secondary stayed. The secondary was active during all the referrals, but I’m required to get a whole new referral and my regular physician will not send it. I’m in a wait and see game right now.
I have an appointment set for December 21st with a rheumatologist because that’s the soonest appointment they had open. I have had Idiopathic Arthritis since I was a year old, and have had Celiac’s since I was 16. I’m currently being sent by my GP for suspicions of lupus or Adult Still’s disease. I can’t find anything online and all my GP can do is give me more steroid cream and I don’t want that.
I have a pretty healthy diet. I don’t do gluten, eggs, and most dairy. I’ll occasionally have cheese, but I stick to lactose free milks. I don’t do much sugar either. If I want sweets, I eat fruit. I take my vitamins every day, I take bleach baths occasionally (no more than once a week), and take colloidal oatmeal baths regularly, but it just will not go away. It’s up on my chest as well. I have a free and clear detergent.
Sorry this was all over the place, I just want some help. It’s unbearable.
TL;DR: I have had this rash for 6-8 weeks all over my body even though I have a fairly healthy lifestyle.

2023.06.08 06:21 hijesushere Just some regular old, not weird in any way song lyrics that I noticed in a couple of my favorite songs... I'm gathering evidence...

Lyrics in songs I've noticed.
Red Velvet
Oh hey! In the same dream
It kept calling us
Wonderland beyond distant memories
...........
Cntd
We we we strong, nothing missing
Wake up, the answer is Simple
Be Boss, blow the Whistle
The bigger world is noticing you.
Shall we have a festival? I hold your hand.
We've been waiting for this moment. Spread your wings and be yourself.
Come play at My carnival.
Climax? It starts now.
Watch out! We are making the rules.
......
It’s now or never, we got forever.
Sappy
;
You're sobbing and being pessimistic
You're hesitating again, you can't choose
Writing poems in your note, your hobby is sentimental
Look, now it's time to open the door
........
Tell me, which do you love?
It's not bad thing to dream
It's not a fairytale, it's the real world
What are you gonna do? Which one are you
gonna pick?
Reality or fantasy, adolescent boy?
I'm still clearing dating simulation games
using the manual
I'm still a long way from real love
.......
It's not that I don't like it
Escape from being just two-dimensional
Which one do you love?
Tonight let me know your true feelings
You'll really grow up then
Tell me, which one do you love?
(In the video the lyrics are "Logging out from delusion" for a part of it.)
That's not even getting into the imagery in the video.
Feel My Rhythm
Blowing up this fancy ball
We're back, cute chaotic delight
This is gonna be a crazy night
Epic appearance to stunning greetings
Let's have a little fun
Don't be shy, Bae bae
Let the play start
(Birds and wings everywhere in the video. Irene is shown offering strawberries to a gigantic statue of some sort which then falls towards her. Joy is seen standing in front of some type of being with wings, I can't tell what it would be though. Maybe one of us? Cant tell, she's, yeah she's blocking the shot)
Imagine anything
Now cruising into a weird, new dimension
A place I've never imagined appears unexpectedly
Don't miss this moment, baby.
Don't confine yourself to yesterday or tomorrow.
I'm truly free right now.
Come ride with me (Sway)
Let's go anywhere (Way)
I want to mess all the boundaries
In this world (Oh yeah)
When the world stops What a what a feeling Come take my hand (All right) A brand new Film We falling deep, You and I Next time, spin the clock Where should we go? Come on, let's start again You and I
Everglow
You used to be afraid of the dark night (ah yeah yeah) Hiding without anyone else knowing (ah yeah yeah) No one say happy ending You stayed silent and ran away (Here we go Here we go like)...
Knock Knock There’s a monster It’s growing larger, the black hole inside of you When you back uh? The howler has swallowed you, that’s the killer Don’t be afraid, hold my hand Your past is making you scared But know your power For the final time, be first You know that I come first I’m the winner winner winner Yes, it’s the last melody To save save save you (so don’t keep) Don’t be deceived by the lie That there is no light in this world Together we will Dream a dream that’s never been seen before Dream a dream that’s never been seen before (Ya) It’s ok if you fall (stand up) It’s you (hands up) Faster Stronger Better Gotta be the best Between night and day, around 5:30AM A war without loyalty will suffocate you, this is a foul Lies, darkness, truth, ecstasy, fantasy My candle makes you explode like a fireworks of melodies in the dawn Don’t be afraid, hold my hand Your past is making you scared But know your power For the final time, be first You know that I come first I’m the winner winner winner Yes, it’s the last melody To save save save you (so don’t keep) Don’t be deceived by the lie That there is no light in this world Together we will Dream a dream that’s never been seen before I’m breaking down the walls, crossing the lines I won’t shrivel up, I’ll jump over one step You got me now got me now two step Don’t slow it down slow it down Shout towards the sky that comes to you Hold onto the key of hope...
Bon bon chocolate
go up to the sky
.
Avenged Sevenfold
Hate to twist your mind, but God ain't on your side
Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air 'Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal) So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head You're now a slave until the end of time here Nothing stops the madness turning Haunting, yearning, pull the trigger You should've known the price of evil And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare While your nightmare comes to life
You've been lied to just to rape you of your sight And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel) So sedated as they medicate your brain And while you slowly go insane they tell you Given with the best intentions Help you with your complications
You should've known the price of evil And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah No one to call, everybody to fear Your tragic fate is lookin' so clear, yeah Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare Ha, ha, ha, ha
And I know you hear their voices (calling from above) And I know they may seem real (these signals of love) But our life's made up of choices (some without appeal) They took for granted your soul And it's ours now to steal As your nightmare comes to life
Afterlife
Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen So unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway This piece on Earth's not right (with my back against the wall) No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall) So out of place, don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign I've made up my mind Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye Please, understand I have to leave and carry on my own life
Creating God
Standing in the shade of altruism, answering the call Came a modern messiah to save us all Something far beyond the work of fiction, Positronic brain A world that's void of all the anguish and suffering, pain
We're creating god, master of our designs We're creating god, unsure of what we'll find
Never held a high regard for Darwin, selection takes too long A little kick in the pool shouldn't do us wrong Devouring the very last invention man would ever need But exponential growth is a frightening thing, indeed
Sometimes when I look up to the sky I have to wonder are we "summoning the demon" you and I?
Have you noticed that I'm needin' it more now, more than it needs me Got a couple of billion that seem to agree Surfing in an artificial dimension, but we're not alone Now the master has become just a stepping stone, oh
We're Creating, God.
Beast and the Harlot
This shining city built of gold A far cry from innocence There's more than meets the eye around here Look to the waters of the deep A city of evil There sat a seven headed beast Ten horns raised from his head Symbolic woman sits on his throne But hatred strips her and leaves her naked The beast and the harlot
The city dressed in jewels and gold Fine linen, myrrh and pearls Her plagues will come all at once As her mourners watch her burn Destroyed in an hour Merchants and captains of the world Sailors navigators too Will weep and mourn this loss With her sins piled to the sky The beast and the harlot
The day has come for all our sinners If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground Flee the burning, greedy city Looking back on her to see there's nothing around
The day has come for all our sinners If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground Flee the burning, greedy city Looking back on her to see there's nothing around I don't believe in fairy tales and no one wants to go to hell You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever
Welcome to the family
Hey kid (hey kid) Do I have your attention? I know the way you've been living Life's so reckless, tragedy endless Welcome to the family Hey There's something missing Only time will alter your vision Never in question, lethal injection Welcome to the family Not long ago you find the answers were so crystal clear Within a day you find yourself living in constant fear Can you look at yourself now, can you look at yourself? You can't win this fight
I try and help you with the things that can't be justified I need to warn you that there is no way to rationalize So have you figured it out now, so have you figured it out? You can't win this fight
And in a way it seems there's no one to call When our thoughts are so numb And our feelings unsure We all have emptiness inside, we all have answers to find But you can't win this fight!
I see you're a king who's been dethroned Cast out in a world you've never know Stand down, place your weapon by your side It's our war in the end, we'll surely lose but that's alright So have you figured it out now, so have you figured it out?
Bat Country
So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long, my vision's so unclear Now take a trip with me But don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem
You've been breakin' down for far too long Far too many moons since you felt well and strong You see, you could say goodbye but you don't have to die Not ever
Engineer the wires to your brain Architect a code so you won't feel the pain With your family by your side and vigor in your eyes forever Live Forever I'm way up, a god in size, beyond the reach of mortals I shed my human side Father, oh father I stare at my reflection, have I lost that boy inside? Final paradigm What's it really mean to be a man? Think about your answer but please understand While it's natural to fear, I'll make it disappear forever I forever I'm way up, a god in size, beyond the reach of mortals I shed my human side Father, oh father I stare at my reflection, have I lost that boy inside? Final paradigm Singular I am I have the question if these thoughts are mine To live forever but did something in me die? I'm clawing my skin but I can't feel it inside I know the agony of pain would hurt so much better I'm way up, so far up Have I lost myself tonight? Mother, oh father Have you lost that boy you used to know?
Simulation
It seems I should have walked away Reverse the wager I've no means to pay Toto has pulled back the green tonight, in sight And blue pills coat with such disdain I wore the shades for so long That I've forgotten how to see The curtain rises but who dares to pull the strings
I know this might be hard for you to believe and all, But you only exist because we allow it I question all the voices in my head Are they mine or have I been misled? Total understanding doesn't seem to mean a thing When you can't see behind the silver screen, a figurine Can't you hear me scream? By the way of cosmic rays A subtle breakdown jarred the code display A simulation as I can tell, our cell Playing out a hopeless scene We stand to lose all our charm And faith just seems to wane A billion years can seem a stunningly short time You've been beaten down time and time again But still you find yourself at the center of it all I question all the voices in my head Are they mine or have I been misled? Total understanding doesn't seem to mean a thing When you can't see behind the silver screen, a figurine Can't you hear me scream? You hear me, you had one thing to do, one thing And you fucked it up, piece of shit Nurse, patient 666158 needs to be sedated We need 500 CCs of M Oh hello there, dearie I've been expecting you Posturing the way I feel Is truth only what we believe is real? Marvel the sketches that paint the night, starlight And take a breath before it's all erased away
Their song Angels; Waking the Fallen, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet.

Pirate
Yeah EVERGLOW Gonna be mad lunatic, girl When the mysteriously changed moon comes A show that will start suddenly In secret, yeah, dance I want it Ddi-dam-bam-bam, bba-rira-bam-bam A paradise found in a whole new world that is out of sync ‘Cause I’m a pirate, yeah, yeah A pirate, yeah, yeah A pirate, yeah, yeah Now let me introduce myself I am a fleet I Start this voyage Towards the moon mist Yeah, let me introduce myself...

2023.06.08 05:02 Kitchen-Low-7818 Ode To Sophia

0' Virgin Of Light Most Sustained Sacred Mother Fullfilling All Virtue, Beauty, Goodness, Prudence, And Wisdom Pure
I Pray To You Through Gossip Overheard By Demon, Man and Angel Of How Potent Your Sweetness Is
Yet My Pilgrimage is begriefed
My Own Weary Eyes Seen and Ears Caught Wind Of Certainties I Can No Longer Deny
There is No Honey You Promise, Only Poison !
I Shun Your Taste for its Nothing Other then Bitter
Fleeing Your Quiet Thunder For the roaring silent cries bring Desolation, ceasing my arrogant strides
My Mind Aches with all This Ponder Of What Every Demon and Men's Dream Must Consist Yet Near Forbidden To Grasp
If only we could withstand the vivid despair your velvet screams usher forth would this Ignorance give way Showing Proof of Each Angel's Hymn
O' Sophia
I Hear Your weeping ever so slightly Pouring unto the Children of Adam
Tears burning as an chill in the middle of a summer zenith when death was welcome comfort forever escaping Desert wanderings
With No sustenance being sought from spoiled soil Nor that heaven may deliver!
But instead of such wishful Departure, Like a Thief in the Night while Deep in contemplation and Without recourse Splendid Dread Vanquished My Once Strengthen Being as i am beholden upon your Echo Which Rung Eternity with no remorse
Realizing with pitiful sincerity that I never knew!
Sound immeasurably Unrestrained ...Yet I bare it in turn Causing my ears to string out of tune Paralyzed by depleting pride as I feverishly harken begging what's left of mind to plea with piety
O' Sophia Grant me no mercy!
May My Spirit Take Leave as Your Loud Whispers Carry me into that abandoned altar darkened by flickering candle flame There will i find horrible sanctuary within !
How Your comforting judgements harden my vainly open heart in rapturous confusion that i dare bleed conclusions unfathomable As strange utterances impossible to be my own declare from out my depths
" You Who Hate Me, Why Do you Love Me?"
Shattering This Heart Anew with Mysteries Unworthy
O' Sophia
How Compassionate Your Cruelty Is
When I Lied to You Through Truth Denying You, You Kept Confessing Me
When I Draw Closer You Hide, Withdrew You Appeared
You're Equally Shy and Bold Disgraced While Great!
For You Alone Seemingly Exist Having No One To Judge You You Are Adequate Hearing For All as Your Words Are Plentiful Though You Can Not Speak
You Are The Name Of The Voice & The Voice Of The Name
The Sign Of The Letter & The Indication Of Division
The Great Power Of The Lord Stands in Between Everything Whom Is Rightfully Unwilling To Change The Name Which You Uttered From The Beginning Before Your Creation
Through Your Solitude Shouting My Prayers have been Solemnly Answered as Unknown Sins are Kissed and Blessings Cherished Now Damned
I Have Become Sober Arising From That Place Of Rest Sensing You Within The Shadow Of Each Thought
What Was Horrible Is Now Seen As Beautiful Opportunites In Each Direction Of Which Am Unable To self-willingly chose
In This Unknowing Cloud Bestown You Led Me Into A Bridal Chamber Utmost Blinding Deaf from your sighs and Now Eyes Shaded By Such Entranced Visage
You Strip My Spirit Clean Off With Kind Fury as Whatever I Am And May Be Weeps Before You Disappearing Like A Ghost Unbecoming
O' Sophia Wonderful Crystal Flower Of Justified Fruitful Torment
You Transmit with All Goodness In True Form Of Beauty Never Glimpsed, Through Syllables Softly Verbalized Like Spring Morning Dew
"Though You Have Fallen Into Profound Ignorance You have not been defiled by it While You walked in Mud, Becoming Dirty. You did not become inundated by its Filth Nor Reveled In it.
Thus I Assure You My Child, Since you withstood my Lamentations And Bore Witness To The Truth Beyond your Three-Fold Soul as my Reflection Hues
I will wash your garments thoroughly with Hyssop And Myrrh cleaning them Whiter then Snow.
Stand fast & Breathe Refreshed Partaking Of My secret lavender Scent So You May Begin To Comprehend the Passion Of The One Begotten Son From The First Born.
Remember My Cries which are Hidden Songs That You Must Never Forget Lest You Return To Your False Rest Losing The Promised Eternal Life everlasting.
Now Depart From Me In Proper Heed"
O' Sophia Pistis Immaculate Shining white lily of tranquillity That ever Brilliant Rose of Celestial delightfulness From whose milk nourished The Living Word
By The Grace Of The Holy Lamb Crowned With Carnelian, Emerald, Topaz and Carbuncle Whose Precious Blood Flows into Time In Order That Every Breath Can Lay Claim The Praises Most Deserving Upon The Heavens, That without, All Is Naught
I Profess Your Sweetness!
Blessed Are Your Harsh Bellows, Silky Whispers & That Hallow Echo Which Became Our World in The Image Exhalted Above All Names
Christ Lord Of Lords King Of The Eternal Realms Whom Unites All Towards And Within The Double Shining Star Of The Pleorma

2023.06.08 04:46 WannabeeSealer Short Story for Book I'm Writing

Shipped into Oblivion You remember standing there, on the bow of a grand carrier, observing the war that took place. Dimly, in your head, you wondered if it could have been avoided. Before that thought could take root though, you shook it out. You weren't paid to think, only to act. And act you shall. As the viewport seems to crest the corona of the system's sun, you steel yourself in your righteousness. Cathan Goods, above all else, must be protected. Comfort reigns supreme, a casual ease of mind that comes with practice, honed since birth. Your mind is alight with the sheer expanse of possibilities offered to you, and you sort through them without a care in the world. Well, with one care. Deep inside your eye of minds lurks an image of a pond. You don't know where it is, or even where you saw it, but there lies an utter certainty, an utter weight of importance instilled within the pond. Whilst your compatriots and you fight, exposed to the elements to feel every bite of your environment, you occasionally steel yourself with glances towards that inner pond, calming your mind. For this reason, you idly quirb[^1], you've stayed alive longer than almost anyone you know. A siren pulls you out of your contemplative bliss as the ship begins entering the orbit of the battlefield, a moon, strangely devoid of craters. Someone wiser than you might make a connection between the lack of an asteroid belt with this, but you can't focus on that right now. It seems, after all, in this advanced age, the only thoughts that run through your mind anymore are that of combat and that of the pond. You try and remember again what the pond is, and why it's so important to you, but a voice from all around halts you in the track. "Listen up!" the voice intones, dull yet filled with depths of meaning, importing feelings of rushing and urgency. Semantic processing technology allows for a complex series of neurotransmitters and brain tissue to be rapidly stimulated, allowing for nuanced communication without intense language. Despite saving hundreds of lives daily with the dirges of context provided, it is often ignored, or chalked up as 'empathy' to those who benefit the most from it. You, of course, are no different. "We land in less than 5 minutes!" The general doesn't need to raise her voice, the processing takes care of any loudness. It still hurts your ears, though, with the volume, despite there being no difference from normal squabble. Within your skull lies several dozen plates, designed for anything from a display thrown down your optic nerve to bone conduction for sound processing. The Cathan mindset is [[Superiority through Purity]], and since the very first shipments went out through Cathan Goods, the prime benefits of humanity were embraced. In your case, you prepare to fall from the brazen skies above Losh and engage in warfare until your very bones give out. The same content emotion fills you, and you feel your strength seemingly redoubled before the prospect of engaging with filthy Veritas troops with your pure forces. You are positive, would bet anything on it in fact, that your brothers-and-sisters-in-arms would agree with you, and the room seems abuzz with ambition. Ambition, that oh-so-powerful emotion that's driven you to the heights you stand at today. You know that one of the paragons of ambition, [ Madame Noelle Cathan](Overview%201#^251a3e) herself stands at the top of a peak in the center of the battlefield, commanding her troops through serene tranquility. She's a direct pacifist, wouldn't hurt a fly herself, but when it came to orders... They're all just numbers on screens, aren't they? The Calamity drove a wedge between her and Veritas. Despite their entanglement, here you were, fighting against soldiers equally devoted to Veritas. Those idiots. You're always told you're just a pawn, but when you're sitting there, looking at your pond, you question, "Does it matter?" The thought slips away, and you ignore it further as you draw near. Within your flesh lie all that's needed to survive this descent ([[Vivisection of a Disaster]]). You're assured by your sheer capability, by the resolute knowledge that nothing you could possibly face could hold a candle to your precise biology. It would never even occur to you to scan the faces of those in front of you, not the soldiers you'd trained with for decades now, but the technicians and doctors rushing around the drop pods with fear oozing off of them. Suppose a normal person saw that. Suppose someone who wasn't designed and bred for the sole purpose of warfare saw the utter lack of confidence in their strength in the face of a greater adversary. They would be terrified. But you remain oblivious. As the sirens begin screeching with an intensity unseen in the bay before today, you steady yourself with thoughts of glorious combat in front of you. With a start, however, you're torn from your concentration by that very same pond. The pond, so tranquil and quiet, seems to sap away every ounce of care you have left within you. It takes a herculean effort to rip your mind away from it, but you manage. Still, though, the burning impact of it's tranquility begins worming itself into your mind. As you begin to let yourself ruminate, a jolt travels through your body, and you remember where you are and why all of the civilians left. Space. It surrounds you, filling you with a chill through your bones. You almost smile before catching yourself, remembering not to let the faintest crack in this façade of security let in the vacuum surrounding you. Or at least, a vacuum at first. Around you, you can almost smell the joy of your fellow soldiers as you tear through space faster than any normal human could hope to go. The only indicator you have of any movement at all is the ship, distantly receding behind you. If you were to close your eyes, you doubt you could tell the void apart from the warm ground you were on but mere moments ago. The confines of your flesh, reinforced with every manner of genetics known to mankind, hold your consciousness in, a bubble in this uncaring sea. Below you, Losh enlarges, rushing at your face with a primal instinct, a pull of gravity forcing the two of you closer together. Everything is blissfully quiet, and you feel yourself relax. Then, heat blisters from that sweet void. Above you, the ship has travelled far, far past. Whilst you've fallen and drifted, ballistically heading towards a battlefield, a not-quite-human missile aimed at the throats of Veritas, the head of the fleet has continued towards the conflict in orbit. Your body is alight with flames as you parse through the data on your optic nerves. Clothing, and armor, is irrelevant, any extensions would merely get in the way of the pure unbridled perfection that is humanity. Your sole goal is to recover Cathan using any means necessary. As you burst through the thin veneer of air coating the exceptionally large moons surface, you can feel your muscles tense up as you prepare for the impact. In the last second, nay, microsecond before crashing into the ground, your entire body goes limp. You plow into edge after edge of crater after crater, ending only when your tumble slows to a crawl. As you stand, a crack from the distance reaches your ears. It's only after the fact that you realize a Veritas sniper hit you in the midst of your plight, and is undoubtedly readying their aim again. They know what you are, now. They know what to expect. Before another shot has a chance to hit you through the screeching atmosphere of bloodshed, you're moving, your limbs lighter than a feather as you speed across the land. Oxygenated blood rushes through your muscles and out the hole from the bullet as you pump your legs harder and faster yet in a desperate rush to beat out the sniper. Within half a second, you've crossed the 100-meter expanse and grasp the Veritas' neck within your hand. A squeeze is all it will take. You feel your body taking over, performing the actions on autopilot as the pond encroaches on your awareness. For once, you feel something other than the placid calm of superiority. Despair. Within a moment, though, the pond leaves, and you are aware of the battlefield again. Looking back down, you collect the weapon of the sniper and sling it over your shoulder. 3 meters provides immense leverage, even if the weapon itself is useless to you. You resume a light jog towards your destination, staying as low as possible in the bounding gravity and aggressively scanning the horizon for anyone else who dares to stop a Cathan elite. 6 more dare. You're dimly aware of time slipping on by you, the seconds oozing away as you draw nearer and nearer to your destination. In your peripheral vision, you can't but notice the lack of friendlies on the field. In another time, if you were a different person, you would have grieved for their loss. But now is not that time; your focus sharpens to a point as your entire being devotes itself to one task. **Protection.** Your stride lengthens until your legs begin eating up the distance, each monstrous step covering dozens of meters as you propel yourself forwards, faster than you feel you've ever moved before: dimly though, you correct this; within seconds you seem to be at your location, but with every pull of your lungs you're reminded of the cost. This isn't right. Something is exceedingly wrong. You are a Cathan, a warrior forged in the very catalytic cocoons that the shipping empire maintains, a being designed solely for combat. To lose yourself to desperation, to the ambition of being the one to save Madame Noelle herself is unbecoming, to say the least. You begin tearing through your wetware, seeing if any part of your system has been compromised, but find nothing. No, you do find someone. A deficiency not of the technology, but of yourself, the user; within you lies the seeds of ambition so embraced in the leaders of society but despised in mindless servants like yourself. It sickens you, this idea of being "destined" for leadership. So instead of finding solace in these delusions of grandeur, you blunt your senses with blunt force, batting the rifle you obtained against your arm to ground yourself. The sheer depths of emotion associated with pain surging through your system instantly brings your attention to Losh, sharpening your senses all the while. Despite being "low-tech," the practice of using pain to release floods of endorphins and adrenaline is standard within the Cathan military. Coming to your senses, your eyes skim atop the peak some 3 kilometers ahead of you. All around it, and all around you, in fact, lie soldiers and mercenaries from a variety of companies; you despise mercenaries, those pitiful fools willing to throw away their lives and value for a payday, their armors and weapons serving as futile stopgaps against the inevitabilities of combat; to be bared against the world as pure as can be is an euphoric glory known only to Cathan troops: these mercenaries are no further removed from it than a starfish from a squid. The only thing you have in common is the medium of battlefield you both move through. But in cases like these, their support may ensure the difference between success and destruction, and your life would be the merest token you'd provide to prevent the latter. As you draw nearer, you can't help but notice other forces too: Novus engineers, seemingly aiding whichever side they choose as the time; their lack of coherency is disgusting. You despise that individuality they so present, with the kindling of ambition in their cores waiting for a spark. Each Novus engineer is a wildfire just waiting for someone to set it alight. And then, there's Cathan. The cool reflections of the pond serve as a water to douse the flames of your enemies, and you wield it as a weapon. That, and the long shaft of a rifle you sling over your back. You're a whirlwind, an unstoppable force meeting objects who seem content to move and release themselves to your fury; seemingly hundreds die in your wake. Had you stopped and considered the destruction left in your wake, you might have felt some inkling of compassion for the poor, unfortunate souls who committed the crime of obstructing some "justice" decided by a singular women in command of an empire far too large. But you don't exist for thinking, no, you exist solely to cause chaos and shift the balance of the universe ever so slightly. Losh is no difference. You finally arrive at the base of the hill, where a line of Veritas troops separate you from the defenses of Cathan fodder protecting Madame Noelle with their lives, all they have to give to her. As you flank the enemy, a pole slams into your side, and you only barely tumble away from it, scraping across the hard ground within meters from the opposition. The gambit is up; you've been revealed. With an unholy scream, you launch yourself to your feet and begin swinging your club at the mercenaries in front of you, each blow dealt being a troop deprived from pressuring the defense. And yet, you being to be overwhelmed near instantly, legions of Veritas hires swarming you and struggling yet succeeding in containment. For the first time, a crack in your mental façade of significance emerges, and you feel the pond flood in with it. Inside your mind, the world slows to unbearable speeds, and your field of vision shrinks until all that's left is that serene water existing within your heart. It pours through your skull, quenching the fires of ambition, and filling you with a new security. You are going to die here. The calm of impending doom fills you, and the last inhibitions of strive release themselves from your grasp, leaving you all but focused on the task at hand. With an almost lazily resigned movement, you stand up amidst the dogpile of slaves, not to masters of men but masters of desire, and turn your head towards the hill. You can feel it, the gaze of Madame Noelle herself, and it fills you with such an immense comfort that you find yourself walking towards it. Bullets ricochet across your tempered flesh, and blades find only scars when they try to cut. As you trudge through the pools of wretches, all of it fades away. Even when you're thrown through the air by an incendiary device, weakened only by lack of foresight for a thin atmosphere, you still remain focused. Any lapse of concentration has left you by now. And yet, this tunnel vision isn't free. You realize abruptly, but boldly, that reinforcements have arrived. The other elites that you deigned to leave behind have caught up, and you finally register the litany of comm requests that have bombarded you for several minutes now. You shouldn't be standing anymore, you should've been taken down, would've been stopped if it weren't for soldiers not caring about anything but their own lives. And now, they'll pay with their lives. You take leave and a swing at a soldier as you continue your trek, before breaking through the frontlines and crossing into Cathan trenches. Despite being too tall to fit comfortably, you still feel the barest hint of security enter your mind; though it's hard to reinforce adamant. As you worm your way through the trenches and towards the top, your focus becomes fluid, tracking an infinity of conflicts at once. Behind you, Cathan elites go into battle, their monstrous purity succeeding in taking swaths of army down with them. To your sides lie fodder and mercenaries, the latter being able to turn the tides of battle with one stupid decision and the former preventing them from doing so. Above you rages the grand fleets, entire planets' worth of economy thrown into machinations of war. And finally, in front of you lies to true goal. You realize abruptly that Madame Noelle had in fact summoned you. Despite the cool waters of tranquility raging through your mind, and the very fibers of your mind rebelling against it, you begin to feel that evil spark that has doomed so many and destroyed alliances. Ambition surges through your body as you begin nearing the peak! You understand now the mistakes of thought you committed- to think you would die is outrageous! Madame Noelle had destined you for this since you dropped in. You don't even notice the ships plummeting towards the peak from orbit, or the babbles of commanders preparing for death. No, instead, you feed the flames of ambition and work your way up. Pride fills you as you walk up to Madame Noelle and kneel in front of her, awaiting her command. "017982, you bloody idiot" she rasps at you. The insult slides off, and a part of you long repressed considers how she must be strained. "Grab this," she barks, "it needs at least three people." On her side is a scientist, a man in a lab coat with tears streaming down his face. You know you're in a temple of some kind, oft studied by archeologists who claimed it proof of intelligent life. It doesn't matter- none of the moon does. All that you can think about is whatever Madame Noelle had in mind for you. The scientist seems to regain himself as he shouts: "This is utter madness!" A vicious backhand reassures you of his stupidity. "Silence fool!" Madame Noelle cries, her eyes wild with rage. "We can't let them leave, not after this." Perhaps in another life you could have been happy. Perhaps you would have lived without the lack of emotion presented to you by everyone of import in your life. But this is not that life. You lay your hand on the machine in front of you, and don't even flinch as you, Losh, the fleets, and the star of the system are immediately compressed into a pinprick of matter denser than space itself.

2023.06.08 03:53 opalpanachee Feel happier by improving very small things

I saw a video recently that showed how to make your days different and "luxurious" in small ways. I tried it out and it really does help my mood. It provides some extra variety and brings me joy for minimal effort.
I make myself citrus or cucumber water and store it in the fridge. I just purchase one cucumber or lemon at the store and place it in a pitcher that I fill up. Takes 5 minutes to chop and only 1 min to refill daily.
I change the locations of the pillows and blankets on the couch. This sounds stupid but it allows variety and so I can feel a "different" comfy each day.
I got a couple of candles. I light a different one each time depending on my mood. Citrus for energy, lavender for relaxing.
I got a "special" ice cube tray. It was like a $5 for a variety pack. Now i can get those tiny little crunch ones. Makes me feel like i am fancy.
I try to take the stairs instead of the elevator so I can feel more active and healthier without the pressure of the gym.
Anyone else have any to share?

Greetings my fellow aurora borealis admirers! Ideally, I'd love to travel to Scandinavia to view the Northern Lights, which has been a lifelong dream of mine, but I'm somewhat of a brokie. With 50 candles around the corner, awareness of my mortality is more heightened than ever. I'm not well-traveled, but I just feel like if I don't do this within the next 18 months or so, it'll never come to fruition. I welcome any suggestions for the cheapest options this aging Atlantan can consider. Thanks, y'all!

"Syn, darling, what do you do with your money?" Rhine asked, holding a reclining Synthanus against him.
"I like to rearrange it, and pile it up, and sometimes I roll around in it. Sometimes I try to make sculptures out of the piles of gold, or bring in burning trees and watch how the fire dances in the gemstones. Sometimes I sleep on it."
"Oh. All right, good to know. But I meant what do you spend it on?"
"What is spend?" The dragon asked, lazily. They sat together on a sofa on top of the highest tower. Synthanus often enjoyed spending time looking out over the world, and Rhine had convinced her to try it in human form at the castle, with him beside her. She complained that the view was rather unremarkable, and given her preferred roosts he could see why, but nevertheless she sat beside him.
"Spending your money is when you give it to other people." Rhine explained. Despite her vast knowledge, she was quite unfamiliar with some words. "Who do you give your money to?"
There was silence for a long time. "I don't understand." Synthanus said.
Favorite said he wanted her to bring some of her gold. Synthanus hoped she'd brought enough, the sack she carried was too big to hold with just one arm. She'd considered bringing more but with only one sack in her hoard transportation had become a question she hadn't been able to find a solution for. Well, if Favorite wanted her to bring more she could make another trip. Maybe she would take a cart. A cart could probably hold more than a sack.
She alighted on her tower and shifted into her human form before her weight had even settled on the structure. Then, hoisting the sack over one shoulder, she made her way into the castle. "Rhine!" She called. Where was he?
She wandered about aimlessly for a time, before one of the servants the king owned led him to her. "I brought gold!" She said, beaming, when she saw him. His eyes went wide, and her heart sank. "I know it isn't much but it's all I could fit in the sack. I can go back and get more if…"
"That's uh… more than enough, my love." He said. My love! My love. My love. Yes, those words pleased her. "Here, let's uh… take this to uh…" He led her through the castle to a small room filled with a big table. Perhaps a dozen chairs sat around it. Her eyes scanned the place, shelves on the walls held dozens of scrolls and various parchments, books, and other things she didn't know the purpose of.
At Favorite's explanation she carefully emptied the sack onto the table, which groaned under the meager weight. Several coins fell to the floor and she darted after them, gathering them until everything was laid out on the table.
"Why did you bring so much?" Favorite asked.
"I just filled the sack." Synthanus said, simply. He'd asked her to bring some gold, so she'd brought some gold. She still didn't understand why, so she ran her hands through the pile a few times, to spread it out. "It looks nice on the table. Thank you for the suggestion, Favorite." He glanced at her. "Rhine. Thank you, Rhine. I think bringing it here was a good idea. Oh, if we light those candles I bet the coins would cast a lovely shadow against that wall. Don't you think?"
"Well yes, but that's not what I… you go ahead and do that, dear. I'll go and get uh… someone to help."
He left and while he was gone Synthanus played with the little piece of the hoard she'd brought. She lit a few candles and arranged them on different shelves and positions on the tables. The pile had to be rearranged a few times, each time with different positions for the lighting, until she finally found the best arrangement. A big pile on the right that sloped down gently to the left. A pair of candles right behind the stack for a dramatic shadow, with others here and there to amplify the ambiance. She found that lighting the back of the slope was counterproductive, and that the best gleam came from an array of candles to the leeward side. Then, satisfied with her work, she leapt up onto the table and lay on the pile of gold, before picking an errant coin up and chewing on it.
The door opened and Favorite entered, along with two others Synthanus had not met. The first was a short, stout man who wore spectacles, and a thin man with only a little hair on his head. The tall one wore robes, which seemed both impractical and marvelous. Synthanus immediately began thinking of a way to find herself a set of robes like that.
She was only half listening when Favorite introduced the short man. He was Scribe something something. Then Favorite said then said the other was "Father Michael Gray." Synthanus laughed. "What is it, my love?"
Those words again! How she melted to hear them. When he asked again she realized she hadn't answered. "Your joke." Confusion. "I know your father, and he isn't so bald!" She laughed. Father Michael Gray! Ha! Wait. Do humans have more than one father? "Oh, Rhine, I hope I have not offended you! And you, your majesty!" She bowed low, as low as she could still sitting on the table. "Your son is my favorite!" She beamed. There was only confusion. Had he not heard her? She spoke again, slower and louder. "Your. Son. Rhine. Is. My. Favorite." Nothing. "I am a dragon!"
"Syn? Darling, this isn't my father."
"But you said…" She trailed off as Rhine was talking to her guests. She stopped paying attention for a while until someone said "gold". And she turned and looked.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" She shouted. They had taken her pile and… and… ruined it! They'd cleared a small place on the table and had begun stacking coins. Stacking them! In neat little stacks. One on top of the other.
"I just explained, love." The word took the anger out of her. "I've asked them to count it."
"Why?"
"Because I don't know how much is here." Rhine said.
"Oh." Synthanus said, but she did not understand. So she watched, and waited. Slowly the two men transformed her pile into dozens of small stacks, making marks on paper as they did so.
"You have quite a fortune here, my lady." Rhine's father said. Synthanus giggled. She did have a large hoard, and he was so nice for saying so. "Are you ready to meet with the tradesmen?" He asked.
"Yes." She said, not knowing what that meant. So Rhine's father and Mister Scribe left and came back in with a few new people. There was a man with an apron who smelled good, and a woman in a fine dress, and another man with some tools on a belt and another man with an apron and different tools.
Synthanus contented herself by playing with a stack of coins until Rhine's father stopped talking. Then there was silence for a time. Was she supposed to say something? Better make a good impression on these strangers. "I have this much gold." She said, spreading her hands to indicate the little stacks. They all stared. At her, and at her little hoard. Slack jawed. "I am a dragon." She added, happily. More stares. She enjoyed the awe on their faces. It was about time someone responded properly to her!
"Lady uh… lady dragon." The woman in the dress said. "What do you wish from us?" Synthanus wasn't sure so she thought about it while looking at her. "Are you…" tears welled in her eyes. "Are you going to eat us?"
Synthanus laughed and laughed, she laughed so hard she felt tears on her cheeks. "Of course not!" She said, fighting for breath. "I'm not hungry!" Then she thought about it, and maybe she was? Or she might be. Soon. What was she to do again? She gestured Rhine over. "I'll probably be hungry today. Before the moon is all the way up? What do I do? Do I hunt?"
She was once again thankful for his patience. "Don't worry, Syn. Just tell this man what you want."
"You there!" She shouted, pointing to the fat man with the apron. "I want food."
"Ah. Yes, of course my lady." He said, stammering. "With your leave, lady dragon, I will…"
"Stay here." Rhine said. There was a note of command in his voice. Something she'd not heard from him before. She found her heart beating faster.
"But sire, the dragon has said…" Rhine held up a hand and the fat man was cut off.
"Now, my love, this is a chef." He explained. Synthanus got the impression he'd explained already but that she hadn't been listening. "He makes food."
Synthanus nodded. "Yes, and I want food. Have him make food for me." Rhine frowned. "Please have him make food for me."
"My love, do you remember what we talked about?"
"Yes." She lied.
"So why should he make you food?" Rhine asked, patient.
Oh! That was right! "Because I have gold!" She beamed. "Chef, I have this much gold. Make food, please!"
The chef barked "right away!" And turned to obey, but a soft word from Rhine stopped him.
"What did I do wrong? I said what I wanted, and I told him I have gold. Rhine!" She said, feeling tears in her eyes. "Rhine! What am I doing wrong? I just want another pig and maybe some pies and more of that bread oh and fish and maybe some of that uh… it's the thing they make from milk that's not butter. And nuts! The walnuts! And peppers! And those little cakes that have the honey in them, and rabbits! Yes, I want six rabbits. No! Twenty. I'll want some for a snack for later. Does he make wine too? I'd also like a barrel of wine, please. And rain water! Two barrels of rain water. Or maybe water from a river? And beer! I haven't tried beer and Rhine says it's like wine but it's different and it's made from the same things as bread but you don't put butter on it and that seems silly if it's made from grass seeds." There was silence for a time.
"Please." She said. Then thought for a moment. "I have this much gold."
"Syn, we talked about this. Don't you remember?"
"No!" She said, sobbing and sinking into a chair. "I said please! I said I have gold! What am I supposed to do, Rhine? You're my favorite, make these feelings stop!"
"What feelings?" He asked.
"Bad feelings!"
"Syn…"
She thought for a moment. "I feel sad and confused and frustrated because I don't know what to do." She said. "And now I'm starting to get hungry and I don't know how to get him to make me food."
"Right away!" The chef said, turning to go.
"Sit. Down." Rhine barked. The chef sat. His voice turned tender. "Syn, it's all right. I'm here. I'll explain again." She nodded, listening. "They'll do things for you because you have gold…"
"I KNOW!" She sobbed.
"But it's not just because you have gold. It's because you're going to give them some of it."
She looked at him. That was a joke. Right? But he didn't laugh. "Why…"
"Because they want gold." Rhine said, softly.
"But I want gold." She said.
"Yes, darling, and you'll still have gold. Just a tiny bit less."
"But they'll only do what I want if I have gold."
"That's right! Good job Syn!" He said, his tone warm. At this she beamed. "They want the gold that you have, so if you give them some, they'll do what you ask, but if you don't have any then they won't." His smile slowly slipped. "Because you won't have any gold to give them."
"But if I give them gold, how will I still have it?"
"OK, darling, look." He took a stack of 10 coins and set it in front of her. "Let's say he wants three coins to make you food. You give him three coins, but you'll still have seven left!"
"Yes, but I won't have ten."
"Right, because you gave him three. And he made you food." Synthanus looked at the chef, who had clearly not made anything but sweat.
"But then I wouldn't have ten coins. I won't have as much gold so he won't make food."
"No, Syn, look. He's going to make food because you have coins you'll give him. So he makes you food. Because you gave him the coins."
"But if I give him the coins then I won't have them!" Syn said, crying again.
Rhine started to explain again before the chef cleared his throat. "May I explain?" He said, softly. Rhine glared at him but Synthanus nodded. "Miss Syn, my lady, think about it like this. Pretend there's magic that turns your gold into food. So if you give me some coins, I can use that magic and turn them into food. You'd still have your coins, but they'd be turned into food now."
She pulled the coin she'd been chewing from her mouth and looked at it. It didn't look, smell of feel like food. No matter. She swallowed it. It was not satisfying. "It didn't work."
Rhine's face was bright. "Yes, of course it didn't work, you can't just eat coins, silly!" He laughed, and she laughed. It was silly to eat coins! But she could do it, even if it was silly, and she announced this before eating another. "See? It's not very good. But, if you give it to the chef, he can take your coins and turn them into food!"
Synthanus blinked. She was well beyond proficient in the spell weave, and what Rhine described was patently impossible. But setting aside the impossibility, the idea did make sense. She'd keep her coins. But they'd have been turned into food. That she could eat.
"How does he turn coins into food?" She asked.
"Ah, that's not anything you have to worry about. You're Synthanus the dragon! You don't need to know how it happens, just know that it happens."
"Oh." He was right. This kind of magic was beneath her. She took a few stacks of coins and slid them across the table. "Very well. Please turn these coins into bread for me."
The chef's eyes nearly popped from his head. He looked to Synthanus, then to Favorite, then to the pile of gold, then back to Favorite. "Miss Dragon that's…"
"Far too much for just bread." Rhine said. He pulled the pile back to his side, then pushed a pair of coins forward. "How about if we give him this much, and he makes you whatever food you want, and when that runs out he'll ask for more."
"I'm more hungry than that!" Synthanus said.
"No, no, darling. See, a tiny amount of gold can make a lot of food!"
"Oh!" Synthanus said. Of course!
Everyone seemed so happy suddenly! She understood! He'd take the coins into the kitchen and do some human magic she didn't understand, and somehow the two little coins would turn into a pig. "How do you make other food? Like mushrooms."
"It's all from gold!" Rhine said, beaming. "Pig, bread, mushrooms. Gold can buy it all."
Buying! That must be the magic they used. Buy. Yes, she'd need to learn this magic. But not now. So she noticed a pair of coins had fallen on the table and scooped them back into her pile.
"Syn, you've got to pay him." Rhine said.
Paying. Yes. She slipped the two gold coins back off the pile and slid them over. "Here is the pay." Now he'd take the coins and she'd have food.
"But wait!" Rhine said. Syn felt her heart sink. "You don't just want food, do you?"
She looked up and Rhine's father caught her eye and shook his head. "No." She said, before grabbing the errant coins on the table and adding them to her stack. "I also want…" she watched Rhine's father, who looked panicked for a moment before gesturing to himself. Oh, right! "Robes! I want robes. Like your dad's."
"Uh… right." Rhine said. Then pointed at the woman. "She makes clothes."
"But all I have is gold." Synthanus said.
"Miss Dragon, I turn gold into clothes!" The woman said, happily. "With just one of those coins I could make you dozens of robes."
"That might be too many." Synthanus laughed, picturing herself in a sea of fabric. She was quite sure if she wore a dozen robes she wouldn't even be able to walk.
"Oh. Well then I could make you robes, dresses, and many other things! You would only have to wear one at a time!"
"That sounds very nice!" Synthanus said, sliding a pair of coins across the table for the seamstress. Then another pair for the chef. Then she saw the four coins and hastily swept them back into her neat little stacks.
She had no use for the carpenter, but slid him a coin anyway before adding it back to her pile. Then the jeweler said he could turn gold into gold and Synthanus laughed until she cried and slid him six coins. Then swept them back into her stacks.
Finally it was said and done. Eleven coins, and she'd have food. Clothes. Something made from wood. And gold? And she was so happy, she had figured it out! She could give them gold, and they'd turn that gold into things she wanted! She was giddy when she slid the coins over.
But then she stopped.
"But… it's my gold." She said.
"Yes, darling, but it's coming back to you in ways you can enjoy it even more!" Rhine said.
"But I have to… give it away? And then it won't be my gold. It'll be food. And clothes. And wood. But it won't be my gold!" She was crying. She fell to her knees, face in her hands and sobbed. "But I love my gold!"
"Oh, Syn, my love, if you really don't want to spend it…"
Even those words didn't help. "I do! I want food! And robes! And a hair pin that looks like a dragon fly! And I know what I have to do!" She sobbed on the floor. "But I can't! Favorite, I can't! I can't! It's too hard! Fix it! Please, Favorite! Rhine. Rhine, please! I can't, it's too hard but I want it and I can't do it just please do it but don't make me do it!" And there were warm arms around her, and quiet words, and the sounds of people walking and the door made a noise and it hurt so much, it hurt! She felt it in her heart, in her soul and she couldn't watch and then there was a great crashing sound and she looked and all the neat little stackd had fallen over onto the table into a big pile.
"Oh that looks nice!" She said, standing. She laughed. "Bring more candles, I want to try something." She looked at Favorite. "Rhine, I'm getting hungry, is that pig ready?"
And everyone left was all laughs, and smiles and then Rhine's father and Mister Scribe left and she was alone with Favorite.
Rhine was exhausted. He held Synthanus close to him, reclining on the mounds of gold on the table. "Do you think my pig is ready yet?" She asked again.
"Not just yet." He said. He'd left orders with his staff that they were to be notified as soon as the food could be served.
"You're my favorite." She said, snuggling closer.
"You're my favorite." He said. And he meant it.
They lay in silence for a time. His mind began to wander before Syn spoke. "Thank you." She said, softly. "I wasn't very… I was bad today."
"Syn?"
"I cried. And I yelled. And I didn't understand. But you were with me. And you helped me. And you loved me. Thank you."

2023.06.08 01:41 CrystalsWithHarmony Please stop with the shenanigans in the memorial.

The memorial is the quietest place full of the most understanding and considerate players. However, ever since someone posted the memorial on tik tok and how to get to it, there have been a lot more people there and they're not as considerate. I'm glad that more people know about/have access to it but you must understand some small etiquette.
Please don't stand in front of me and do the pull-ups emote. Please don't swim in the memorial lake and swim in circles around other players. Please do not honk consistently at the memorial. Please don't chase people and insist on lighting there candles. It is a place of mourning. You wouldn't go into a funeral home and start dancing and jumping so Please don't do it here. Show some respect.

The 'just popping in to get my pick up order and use a b-day reward' haul
Of course you're always planning on not grabbing anything, then you remind yourself you wanted an iced lemon pound cake before the price changes and you wanted to smell some new things for your bday reward so you put together a small pick up order. BIG MISTAKE! 🤣
Made further mistakes by asking my mom if she wanted anything and suddenly I've got a bag full 🙃 if you're near Elk Grove, CA the Marketplace 99 store is swimming in Christmas candles right now -- full table stacked 4-5 high.
It's never too early to start burning some twisted peppermint lol

2023.06.07 23:01 jos3Espinal Candle light concerts credit worth 146.90 - selling for 100$/best offer

I got a a full refund as a credit since I couldn’t make it to the show last week. Candle light concerts are awesome intimate concerts from string musicians covering songs from Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Pink Floyd, Anime themes songs, Video Games theme songs, and many more.
Just google “candle light concerts toronto” and you’ll see all their shows and dates.
146.90$ is enough for 2 front row seats on a single show, or standard seats on multiple shows (most start at 33$).
Text me if you have any questions :)

2023.06.07 22:41 Particular_Ad_6793 VIGIL NIGHT

Light some candles and make prayers for my boy Saint Mjosgard. The realest CD and the only one who acted human at least. My man helped usher the start of the new dawn. Sadly he had to be executed by the rats father. I guess it runs in their blood
