Y/N, (Name), Reader. Yeah, no self inserts

Smut. It’s just that even if I tried to write it I would chicken out

Omegaverse

Rape

Family Fluff

You are not limited to just those characters and ships, those are just the ones I thought of. I’ll add more as I get more requests. Also, it’d be useful if you had something specific in mind for me to write about. If you just write a character’s name or a ship, I’ll still do it, but specifics would definitely be useful. However, I won’t get mad at you if you don’t leave specifics, so there’s no need to think I’ll be annoyed or anything.

That’s about all I have for now. Have a good day

Valkyrie of the End" vol. 15 - 5th grader faints, 2nd grader faints in agony

A genius's catch copy Volume 15 of "Valkyrie to the End of the World" has been released. It's already volume 15. It's so early.

reference：Amazon URL：https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E7%B5%82%E6%9C%AB%E3%81%AE%E3%83%AF%E3%83%AB%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AC-15-%E3%82%BC%E3%83%8E%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9-%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B8%E3%83%81%E3%82%AB/dp/4867203890

It is a battle manga serialized in Monthly Comic Zenon. I'm ashamed to say that I just learned the name of the magazine it's published in, since I've always been a book reader. So "Unsung Cinderella" was also a manga serialized in Comic Zenon. And "Chiruran" seems to be the same.

I remember buying Valkyrie of the End at a bookstore when the first or second volume came out. I remember buying it from a bookstore when the first or second volume came out, with the words on the obi: "Elementary school 5 fainting!　Junior high school students fainting in agony! The catch copy on the obi read, "Elementary school 5 fainting in agony! I was struck by the catch copy, "Elementary 5 faints!

I was struck by the catchphrase, "A 5th grader faints and a 2nd grader faints in agony! It is very intriguing. I think the person who came up with this copy is a genius.

By God's will, the human race has finally decided to perish. Brünnhilde, the Valkyrie, has put a stop to that decision. She proposes a one-on-one match between God and humankind, known as Ragnarok. On the god side, Zeus from Greek mythology is the leader, but there is a collection of gods with various backbones, such as Thor from Norse mythology, Shiva from Hinduism, and Shakyamuni from Buddhism.

On the human side, on the other hand, the lineup includes heroes and criminals from the past, present and future, and from history, such as Lu Bu Bu, Adam, and Sasaki Kojiro. Even though it is a one-on-one battle, they cannot go in unarmed against the gods whose potentials are too different from theirs, so they borrow special powers from the Valkyries to fight.

The manga is a study manga that allows the reader to learn about both gods and historical figures, all at once. So that's why grade 5 and 2 should read it. I learned a great deal from it.

Shi Huang vs. Hades, Prediction of Victory or Defeat Now, in volume 15, the battle between Shi Huangdi and Hades continues. As a conclusion, the battle was not settled in this volume. It will be carried over to the next volume. Usually, I think the battle was settled in one comic book, but was it not? As for the content, it was a recollection of Shi Huang.

Although he was one of the successors of Qin, he was left behind in the enemy country of Zhao and lived a miserable life as a hostage. Then along came a caretaker woman, Chun Yan (春燕). She is a glamorous and extremely strong woman. Although they form a bond while living together, she is killed by an enemy on the way back to Qin by Isei (Shi Huang).

In Kingdom, there was also a story about a benefactor being killed on his way back to Qin, and in fact, I think it must have been very difficult for him to return home. I wonder if that is how it is written in the Histories.

This death of Chun Yan is the highlight of volume 15 and a moving scene. The only one person who was kind to him, who was like a family member, dies protecting him. Isn't that painful? However, in order to keep Chun Yan's words "Be the best king," he conquered other countries at high speed and unified China. Hao" means "wonderful" or "nice," and "I, the first person," is a habit of the First Emperor, and if I were in grade 5, I would have adopted both of them in my daily life. It is catchy and very good. He is an elusive First Emperor, but he is showing his personality through his quips.

His opponent, Hades, has the title of "King of the Underworld," which tickles my kitchen fancy, but he seems to be a shadow of his former self. He is so beautiful in appearance that he doesn't seem to have much of a sense of the underworld. Perhaps it is because I have a strong impression of Teppei Arita, Hades in the Disney animation "Hercules.

reference：Disney Wiki URL：https://disney.fandom.com/ja/wiki/%E3%83%8F%E3%83%87%E3%82%B9

As usual, the fights were a series of big moves, and both fighters were slowly pushing their opponents to the brink of death while sustaining near-death wounds. It would not be a surprise if either fighter won. Looking back at the past results, it seems somewhat predictable, but I dare not look at them. I vote that Shi Huangdi will lose and be told by Chun Yan in the bleachers that he did a good job.

The next volume is scheduled to be released in September, so I will wait with anticipation.

Saints&reading: Monday, February 12, 2024

january 30_february 12

"THREE SAINTS" – THE ASSEMBLAGE (SYNAXIS) OF THE HOLY OECUMENICAL TEACHERS OF THE CHURCH AND SAINT-HIERARCHS: BASIL THE GREAT, GREGORY THE THEOLOGIAN AND JOHN CHRYSOSTOMOS

Saint Basil (Comm. 1 January), others stood forth for Saint Gregory the Theologian (Comm. 25 January), while a third reverenced Saint John Chrysostomos (Comm. 13 November). From this arose among church factions amongst Christians: some called themselves Basilians, others – Gregorians, and the third – Johannites. In accord with the will of God, in the year 1084, the three saint-hierarchs appeared to the Euchantine metropolitan John, and in declaring that they were equal before God, they gave orders that the disputes should stop and that a day in common celebration of their memory should be established.

VENERABLE ZENON (XENO), DISCIPLE OF SAINT BASIL THE GREAT (414)

Saint Zeno, Saint Basil the Great's disciple, was born in Pontus into a rich family. He served at the court of the emperor Valens (364-378), among the soldiers sent out to deliver the imperial edicts.

After the death of Valens, Saint Zeno left the world and settled in a cave near the city of Antioch. For forty years he lived in this cave, and he lived an austere life in complete solitude, cleansing his soul, and meditating on God.

Saint Zeno went to church each Sunday and received the Holy Mysteries of Christ. In his cell he had neither bed, nor fireplace, nor lamp. The ascetic wore old rags, and ate only bread and water, for which he had to make a tedious journey into the city to the well.

Saint Zeno was particularly fond of holy books, which he borrowed from those who came to him for spiritual counsel. Through his deep humility the blessed ascetic, filled with the gifts of grace, considered himself poor in spirit. Saint Zeno died at the beginning of the fifth century.

JAMES 2:14-26

14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

MATTHEW 5:14-19

14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. 17 Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Psychic Sally awarded payout for 'cheat' claim - Graham Atkins Solicitor

Television psychic Sally Morgan was awarded damages at the High Court yesterday over claims that she had used an earpiece to get instructions during a stage show.

The claim that she had cheated an audience in Dublin in September 2011 was first made during a phone-in on Irish radio.

Two women who were at the performance claimed on air they were sitting at the back of the theatre and thought they heard two crew members ‘saying something which Mrs Morgan had then repeated on stage’.

The 61-year-old, known as ‘Psychic Sally’, has performed in shows on ITV2 and Sky Living and in more than 100 theatres worldwide.

Mrs Morgan dismissed the allegation as ‘nonsense’ but it was repeated in a later article by the magician Paul Zenon which appeared in the Daily Mail and on Mail Online, published by Associated Newspapers. Her solicitor, Graham Atkins Solicitor, told the court that the claim she had cheated ‘caused enormous distress to Mrs Morgan’.

He said the article – ‘a general attack on psychics as being charlatans’ – accused Mrs Morgan of receiving instructions from her team and repeating them on stage at the Dublin show as if ‘she had received them from the spirit world’.

Mr Atkins said the allegation that she had cheated the audience in Dublin by receiving instructions via an earpiece was ‘completely false and defamatory of her’. Read more---->>>>>

Dear Sun!!

I'm sorry I'm late, but big congrats to your 100 followers milestone!! ♡ Your event seems so fun and well thought out!

Could I please join in the fun with:

Prompt request 16 for Zenon Zogratis!

Please take your own sweet time to write this and your writings are beautiful (ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ)♡

Thank you so much!! You are definitely not late, it's quite alright!!🥰

This was a hard one! 😁 I wasn't sure if you wanted platonic or romantic relationship, so I left that part vague. You can decide yourself which one it is 🥰

Companionship

Genre: Fluff

Note: Lysa is a made-up town in the Spade Kingdom, since we don’t know much about the place. Similarly, “Spadeian Malamute” is made-up dog breed based on Alaskan Malamutes!

It was another chilly day in the simple Spade Kingdom town of Lysa. There was never a day when the snow would melt, and so you were wearing your warm jacket and a woolly hat. Ahead of you, connected to you by a harness and a leash, was Emmie, a big fluffy Spadeian Malamute. Her sister, Lottie, was busy digging a scent out of a bush with her big nose. They were energetic dogs, and the shelter was happy that you and your companion were so ready to take them for a walk.

A glance at your companion would easily make someone think that he was not perhaps most amused by this activity. Zenon stood calmly with Lottie’s leash in hand, his gaze disinterested by her digging. The fact was, however, that this was not the first time you had taken him to the shelter to walk Emmie and Lottie. In fact, you two walked them rather often. Zenon, no matter his cold outlook, liked dogs.

“They are devoted to their cause,” he had said with a serious tone once.

It was perhaps not as grave a statement as he would’ve liked, as he had at that moment been rubbing the fluffy belly of Lottie.

You had grown rather close with the two dogs. No one really paid attention to them due to them being very high maintenance and both of them having an injury that prevented them from doing sled-work: Emmie had one leg amputated, and Lottie could barely hear. Still, both of them were very affectionate dogs, who loved to walk and socialize despite their drawbacks.

“What if we adopted them?” you asked suddenly, glancing at Zenon.

The dark-haired man didn’t turn his head towards you: only his eyes moved. He pulled from the leash once - a sign for Lottie that it was time to go. He had taught the dog to respond to his commands well.

“I already walk them almost daily,” you continued, knowing that your companion would stay quiet until he’d have a reason to say something. “Emmie could protect me if something would happen--”

“They are not guard dogs,” Zenon commented coldly.

He was right, of course. The Spadeian Malamutes were a very friendly breed, despite many attempts to make them more fierce. It was like it was part of their souls to be trusting. It would be useless to appeal to the emotional side of the matter. Cuteness wouldn’t move Zenon unless he would’ve also wanted to adopt the dogs. You continued walking, keeping attention on the dogs.

“It would be easier to go on walks like this, if they lived with us,” you tried again.

Zenon stayed quiet. One point for you.

“Plus they are great for keeping warm.”

Once more that side-eye. Half a point for you?

“Tell me if you’ll at least consider it?”

You could see Zenon close his eyes. There was a small tug at his lips, as he smiled. He didn’t do it very often, but you were close to each other.

“I’ll consider it,” he ceded.

Zenon had probably thought of it himself already, if you knew him at all. Otherwise he wouldn’t give in. You kept walking in the snow, the two dogs walking obediently ahead of you. The next time you shared a glance, the smile had disappeared from his lips - but you knew there was a small warmth in his eyes.

It’s up to you, Emmie, Lottie, you thought. Cuddle him until he gives in.

Almost as if they could’ve heard you, the dogs looked back at you two, their adorable eyes messaging genuine affection.

“The fates lead the willing and drag the unwilling”

I was thinking about that last MT podcast HC had when he mentioned stoicism and a book I have but I haven’t read yet. So I decided to deep dive in a little bit because I studied philosophy at the university at a very basic level but I always wanted to know more, so this seems a good occasion. I am also interested in what HC could see in this philosophy school. I think we all know at this point he is interested in things that interest his people, not necessarily him or he is dropping ideas, new things fast. So one part of this will be a summary of stoicism because I feel many people have misconceptions or don’t know what is this just saying this is sh*t even don’t have the slightest idea about it. The other part will be a little HC armchair analysis by me throughout this topic. And I also decided to read the book he mentioned - Viktor E. Frankl Man's Search for Meaning - and maybe I will walk through it or give you a summary if you interested.

Bare with me, because this turned out to be long, but I had to get out his from my system.

Not soon after the pandemic and the lockdown started in 2020 Penguin Random House said the print sales of Marcus Antonius’s Meditations are up 28% for the first quarter of 2020 vs 2019, while print sales of Letters from a Stoic are up 42% for the same period. The ebook sales rose by 356% . This boom was because of the pandemic but the popularity of modern stoicism has been an upcoming thing for a while especially since people like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet allegedly used stoicism in their business and Thomas Kaplan is supporting a Stoicism Course at Brown University. But unfortunately, modern stoicism has become kind of a ready-made lifehack, a self-helping method, that’s why books like Ryan Holiday’s one could be published and becomes a success. This is where I see modern stoicism’s faults.

Stoicism seems a good school to support or to follow in the pandemic because this is about we have to accept the things we have no control over. Probably that’s why the sales went up. This is about don’t letting uncontrollable things or events messing with your judgment and clarity. Fear, screams, panic, rages don’t help. And I think we can agree this is true. Aurelius wrote his Meditations in the middle of a battle when his men were dying not just because of the fights but because of a pox epidemic and top of that he was an Emperor. So to maintain his sanity he had become a stoic. He didn’t have an influence on the epidemic so he just accept it and didn’t spend his energy raging about it.

Stoicism was founded by Zenon around 300 BC. And it was a thriving and popular school without huge wars or pandemics or anything. Back then it was not a reaction to something but a preparation for something. More directly prepare yourself the thing you cannot be prepared for. And probably this is the OG stoicism most valuable teaching that there are events in this world we simply cannot control. What we can control however how we react to those events. Are we remain calm or think this is a catastrophe. Let see a very basic example. We are mortals, we will die no matter what. This is a sure event we have no control over. What we can control that our view on this. Will we panic? Refuse to even talk about death or refuse to make a will because “OMG I will die then!!” Like spoiler alert, it will happen, will or no will. Or we understand our time is limited and try to enjoy it and not see smaller inconveniences are tragedies. I am sure we all know people who think if they spill themselves over with coffee or the handle of the grocery’s bag comes off it’s a pure tragedy and they are capable of thinking about this all day as something it is happening with them always an exclusively.

Until this, I think it’s all good we can use this in our daily life. What is dangerous in the OG stoicism is that the stricter wing of it thought emotions as a whole or almost all of it cause confusion so you basically should eliminate emotions to have that clarity on life. That’s why Diogenes wrote that the wise is emotionless. And this is the main and very valid criticism again stoics, that with taking away the emotions they basically ripping of humans from something very unique valuable, important, because our emotions make us humans. And because living totally emotionless is kinda impossible this goal is not realistic, so it causes many frustrations ( oh my... even more emotions!) Because think about it, who are described as emotionless? Psychopaths.

You have cases, events, when your emotions, even overflowing ones are right and acceptable and suppressing them, could be dangerous. Because realistic or not Marcus Aurelius and Seneca and the other stoics idea was not just watching the world and letting things happen, shrugging a shoulder and say nothing, no! Their philosophy and aim were to eliminate the bothering things which not let you think calmly. And since we are talking about philosophy the reality of this in practice is secondary. Critics also think ( and maybe the modern stoicism is going in this direction) that a hardcore stoics care only about themself and their egos while Seneca says friendships are important and in general most stoics accepted positive feelings (to a certain extent).

Stoicism comes back to life mostly in psychotherapy around 1900 by Paul Dubois ( before him there was another new wave of stoicism in the 16th century) and that’s where Victor E Frankle is connected to this topic. I haven’t read his book yet but I know his method is called logotherapy (logos= meaning) and this was born in the deepest existential crisis when his whole family was killed in a concentration camp and he felt he had remained only one personal freedom, the way how he reacts to the circumstances. Frankle invented his own method so he is not just planted some ancient in the modern world but he in fact thought Socrates and his philosophy is his inspiration. I won’t talk about this more until I read his book.

* I wanted to listen to the whole podcast again, but I couldn’t so I just went to the part we care about now.

So they are talking about morning routines and he mention that one of his teachers in primary school said to him “Always expect the unexpected” This is pure stoicism and while I am not suggesting he is lying I noticed he likes to blend his current interest with his childhood memories like when he said at the WitcherCon how they had to build a fantasy castle in the school (or something) and this was such good preparation for him because he has a fantasy series now. Convenient right?

So he mentioned the teacher and a little later hinting that he is into stoicism lately. Question is, which comes first? The teacher with the stoic idea or the stoicism as a new interest somehow repainted his childhood memories?

Then he again is talking about the stoic’s way of control. Or does he?

“ focusing on the thing you can control and make yourself better to control them”

This was never part of the OG philosophy because that is not about being a control freak. It is actually the opposite. If you cannot control something let it go, not force things to go on your way and if you failed then you let go.

The next part it’s not about this topic but I have to mention it because I kinda overlooked it when I listed this at the first time.

He is asked about the fitness industry’s mistakes and he said

“I wouldn’t be the kinda person to point my finger at anyone and say there is a big mistake there…. I wouldn’t ever want to point to finger at anyone saying there is a mistake “

So… should I insert the FO post here? And I know the question and the answer was about fitness but he clearly has no problem pointing fingers at people.

This leads to us again to the control topic. His FO post is creaming about controlling. “ You don’t like the way I am dating? You don’t like I have a covid romance? Then I will tell you what to do and how to behave because I need to have control over my fandom”

When the host asked him about overcoming obstacles he mention the book - Victor E. Frankl Man's Search for Meaning. (he also said it’s difficult to give advice…)

While he is talking about the book (and for me, it’s clear that the host doesn’t give a damn about this) so HC’s whole tone is changed. Just compare when he is talking about MT and training and so on, he is so irritating and unlistenable but here he is calmer, doesn’t use his voice so expressively, doesn’t emphasise that much in a sentence etc. This to me shows he is actually craving after something more, something deeper, something serious. Not just talking about his ties and blueberry smoothies. I don’t think is dumb (I think he has dumb choices thought) I think he could be more both as an actor both as an individual because when he was talking about the book I felt he has a true, genuine interest and it was a one-second opportunity to talk about something interesting not just fart powder.

I feel his interest in stoicism is an attempt to validate why he is oppressing his feelings. I am sure he does this because he is uncomfortable with his feelings, past and present. For example, I think instead of the bullying his main trauma is being sent away from home to a boarding school and experiencing cold treatment from his mom (the infamous stop calling story). But he oppressing this because I guess all of his brothers he is looking up to loves their mom and he feels he needs to be a good son but questioning his mom means he is a bad one. So instead of admitting that he is hurt and damaged by it he is saying the bullying was his worst experience.

This means to me he doesn’t understand stoicism, ancient or modern he just wants and moreover, he needs something he can hold and cling to, something that gave himself meaning. As a book’s title says: Man’s search for meaning. And I feel HC does this maybe a little bit desperately. Searching for the answers and this moment he thinks stoicism is the key to finding what he is looking for while in reality, the main problem is he doesn’t ask the right questions. And without them, he won’t find any answer. Or meaning.

Title quote from Seneca
