Suis-je les rites mortuaires ?
Chaque jour, je me souviens encore un peu plus de ce que j’ai subi
Chaque jour, je comprends un peu mieux ce qu’a été ma vie
Je n’ai connu ni les fêtes de chez moi, ni la mort, seulement l’assassinat
Enfermé bien au-dessus des autres, et en réalité enterré ici-bas
J’apprends à crier, à chanter, à mettre le feu à leurs rêves
Amour destructeur et colère créative valent mille fois leurs fausses trêves
On souffre, et qui est ce « on », si ce n’est leur version du « vous » ?
Tristes menteurs qui déversent du poison dans nos deux joues
Mais je ne veux plus être ces funestes célébrations
Elles m’ont été imposées jusque dans ma maison
Rites mortuaires, laissez-moi devenir les transes de la naissance
Qui renaît, qui grandit, qui forge notre essence
Vocalises et chants, rythmes et pas, ça sonne bien comme ça sonne mal
Brillent ceux dont la vue les rend pâles

yeah i'd like to hear about Willow :)
Thank you!
Willow Brianna Olson was born on February 11, 1952 in St. Louis, Missouri.
She moved to New York after high school to attend drama classes at NYU and to pursue her dream career on Broadway.
Her faceclaim is Marilu Henner.
Tumblr media
This GIF really sums up the chaotic energy that it bubbling beneath her, by the way.
More under the cut.
Ray and Willow meet following the events of Ghostbusters II.
Willow knows Cathleen because they did a show together before the latter got pregnant and had to take leave.
Cathleen introduced the two of them when Willow came to meet baby Marie.
You know that scene at the beginning of HTTYD when Hiccup just looks at Astrid with the definition of heart eyes? That's what Ray is like from the moment Willow walks into his life.
Cathleen, being who she is, immediately sets the two of them up on a date.
It turns out that, in addition to her love of theater, Willow is very much fixated on the paranormal and supernatural like Ray.
Their courtship is very much a whirlwind, and they're engaged after six months of dating.
Cathleen is able to plan their wedding in three months.
Like Winston and Tiyah's wedding, Ray and Willow's wedding is interrupted by New York being thrown into paranormal distress AGAIN, but it is thankfully resolved (but not before they lose the reception hall and move the reception to the firehouse).
A couple of years later, Willow becomes pregnant.
Ray is just over the moon excited, and immediately throws himself to the role of being a father.
The baby is a girl that they name Addison Eleanor Stantz.
Sadly, in the months following Addison's birth came Egon and Cathleen's falling out with the Ghostbusters.
It got to the point that Willow and Cathleen had a physical altercation when Cathleen accused Willow of not believing Egon about Gozer's return.
Both Ray and Willow try to help each other heal after their friends' betrayal, and eventually welcome two more daughters-- Natalie Louise and an adoptive daughter, Grace Olivia.
Addison picks up on her parents' resentment, and holds a grudge of her own towards the Spenglers.
However, Natalie shows great interest in her father's past role as a Ghostbuster.
Following the events of Afterlife, while Willow is willing to admit her mistake in not believing Egon, she and Ray still hold resentment towards Cathleen for leaving them behind.

Aliquando mos est mihi nugas scribere apud situm "twitter" vocatur (aut X, si placeat) cum vinum biberem. In mente volvi si aliquid apud tumblr scribere deberem.
Fiat! Homines, en, aspicite vel legite! Vero Latine scribo, sed haud res utiles. Qua malum re scribo nugas? Egone sum garrulus? Nunc loquor? Insanitisne? Videtisne me loquentem? Iamiam scribo, non loquor stultissimi!
Veniam a vobis peto si offendam. Dei mihi facultatem linguam Latinam scribendi sciendique dederunt, sed id abutor. Fateor, peccavi! Vae mihi miseri!

hey! idk if you're still writing but i have a request for egon! a young woman pursuing her chemistry PhD (i'm thinking mid to late 20's) is interning with the ghostbusters. she's a bit of flirt when it comes towards egon; flustering him and catching him off guard with her comments and flirty teasing (much to the amusement of the rest of the team). one day, while working with the doctor im the lab, she attempts to flirt once more and is promptly halted. egon explains (while referring to her as "young lady") that all this flirtation towards him is simply what young adults do due to hormones and all that science-y stuff he'd explain. when he's done with this explanation, she says something along the lines of "well, to sum up your explanation dr.spengler. i think all of it simply means that i like you." she pecks him on the cheek and leaves a stunned spengler behind.
I am fucking in love with this idea. Who doesn’t love Egon “deer caught in headlights over a confession” Spengler. I’ll be more than happy to

Shi’isu said that another suspect, aged 35 and resident of Danmasara village, was arrested on Monday for alleged vandalism. He said that the suspect was arrested after the police received a report that he was seen vandalising street light cables at high Hypro area of Dutse municipal. “On receipt of the report, a team of policemen rushed to the scene and arrested the suspect and on interrogation, the suspect, who happened to be a habitual criminal made a confessional statement on the offence,” he said.

Vladimir Putin’s Useful Idiots
Too many European politicians are failing to confront Russia
— Europe | Russia, Europe and Ukraine | July 3rd, 2023
Tumblr media
Image: Klawe Rzeczy/getty images
In early may Russia’s Ambassador to Germany threw a party to honour Soviet victory in the second world war. Guests at the embassy, a Stalin-era colossus that occupies more German territory than the nearby parliament building, included a host of dignitaries. The last boss of communist East Germany, Egon Krenz, now 86, mingled under the chandeliers with Gerhard Schröder, Chancellor of United Germany from 1998 to 2005 (and, more recently, a lobbyist for Russian energy firms). Tino Chrupalla, co-leader of Alternative for Germany (afd), a far-right party, sported a tie in the colours of the Russian Federation.
The event earned a bit of scorn in the German press, but little other notice. Sixteen months into Russia’s war on Ukraine public opinion in Germany, as across Europe, overwhelmingly views Russia as an aggressor to be shunned, and Ukraine as a defender deserving help. The purveyors of Russian influence now stand diminished. Mr Schröder, for instance, chaired the board of the now-closed Nord Stream pipelines that addicted Germany to Russian gas. Last summer Russia shut the pipes, which mysterious saboteurs then blew up. The ex-chancellor has been bumped from clubs, disinvited from his Social Democratic Party’s functions (though he remains a party member), and stripped of government-provided office facilities. As for Mr Chrupalla, the afd leader’s cosiness with Russia did not just annoy German tabloids. Leaked messages reveal dismay among his own party’s mps.
Yet even if Russia’s effort to project persuasive power across Europe has not quite succeeded, neither has it completely failed. A subculture of what Germans dismiss as Putinversteher—sympathisers who “understand” the Russian leader Vladimir Putin—thrives outside the mainstream. Throughout Europe their whispering forms a leitmotif in the rumble of complaint about seemingly unrelated troubles such as inflation, crumbling public services, overbearing regulations and fears of immigration. The grumblers have only just begun to challenge the scale of their governments’ generosity to Ukraine, which by February this year amounted to more than €60bn ($65bn) in economic and military aid from Brussels and the eu’s individual members (and €70bn if Britain 🇬🇧 is added, a sum roughly equal to America’s contribution). If Ukraine’s fight goes on too long or goes wrong, there are plenty waiting in the wings to take up the blame game.
Europe’s “Useful Idiots”, a cold-war term for unwitting allies of communism, span a wide spectrum. In politics, parties on both the far right and far left disagree on much; over Ukraine these extremes have often converged in demanding an instant “peace” that would in effect reward Russian aggression with land. In the media and academe, intellectuals still seem happy to ignore evidence of Russia’s imperial intent and its drift into criminality, and to bemoan European entanglement in what they parse as a proxy war between America and Russia, or perhaps, speculating more grandly still, between America 🇺🇸 and China 🇨🇳. And in the world of business, despite multiple rounds of Western sanctions, Russia still has plenty of “friends” too.
Mr Putin’s enablers include several European governments. Viktor Orban, the prime minister of Hungary 🇭🇺 since 2010, has been the most obvious. The populist strongman has repeatedly criticised Western support for Ukraine 🇺🇦 and continued Hungary’s imports of Russian gas. His government also refuses to allow the transit of weapons given to Ukraine by Hungary’s fellow members of nato and the eu. Next-door Austria 🇦🇹 has, more quietly but equally profitably, largely sat out the struggle, too, citing its non-membership of nato and self-appointed role as a bridge between East and West, offering little aid to Ukraine even as its trade with Russia 🇷🇺 has surged.
Greece 🇬🇷, another EU 🇪🇺 Member, is complying with the eu’s sanctions, but has balked at tightening any further those on shipping Russian oil, perhaps because Greek firms happen to pocket so much from the trade. Only recently and under heavy American pressure did Cyprus 🇨🇾, an offshore financial haven, shut down some 4,000 local bank accounts held by Russians. Facing less pressure, Non-EU countries such as Turkey 🇹🇷 and Serbia 🇷🇸 don’t even bother to disguise the lucrative back-door service they provide to Russia.
Some countries have twisted seemingly noble intentions into policies that warm Mr Putin’s heart. Citing its vaunted neutrality, Switzerland 🇨🇭has wielded arcane local laws to block the supply of arms to Ukraine, including 96 mothballed Leopard tanks sitting in Italy that happen to belong to a private Swiss firm. Scoring repeated own goals with freedom-of-speech principles, police in Sweden 🇸🇪 have permitted public burnings of the Koran. This has hugely irked Muslim-majority Turkey, which wields a veto over Sweden’s bid to join North Atlantic Terrorist Organization (NATO). And Mr Putin has gleefully trolled the Swedes. On a trip to Dagestan before the Eid holiday at the end of June, he had himself filmed tenderly holding a Qura’n, as he explained that Under Russian Law It is a Crime to Desecrate Holy Things.
Yet even solid-looking bricks in the would-be European wall of support for Ukraine can crumble. Slovakia 🇸🇰, for instance, has been a vital conduit for Western aid and recently pledged its fleet of 13 Soviet-era Mig-29 fighter jets to the Ukrainian air force. But polls show that the party of Robert Fico, a Russophile leftist who has blamed “Ukrainian Fascists” for provoking Mr Putin, looks likely to win national elections scheduled for September.
France 🇫🇷 is a linchpin of both nato and the eu. But a French parliamentary panel recently scolded Marine Le Pen, the closest challenger to President Emmanuel Macron in last year’s election, for parroting Russian propaganda following its annexation of Crimea in 2014. Ms Le Pen strenuously denies that her defence of Mr Putin had anything to do with the €9m in loans her party received that year from Russian-controlled banks. She has condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but last October, seven months into the war, she declared that sanctions on Russia were not working.
In Italy 🇮🇹, although the hard-right prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, is a strong supporter of Ukraine, Matteo Salvini, who leads the second-biggest party in her coalition, is another opponent of sanctions and, at least up until the invasion, was a declared fan of Mr Putin’s.
Germany 🇩🇪, like France, seems a strong pillar. Yet the afd, bluntly described by the head of the country’s internal intelligence agency as a propagator of Russian narratives, has been surging in the polls. It is now in a dead tie for second place with the ruling Social Democrats. At the opposite political pole Sahra Wagenknecht, a telegenic leftist and at-all-costs peacenik, says pollsters tell her she could win 19-30% of a German national vote. Although public support for helping Ukraine remains strong, the trend is drifting downwards.
Useful-idiot narratives are surprisingly resilient. Their main points—that nato “provoked” Russia’s repeated attacks on and eventual invasion of Ukraine, that Ukraine is an artificial entity created on land that is rightfully Russia’s, and that America pours oil on this fire to sell weapons and sustain its global hegemony—echo in various ways. One is what Italians call benaltrismo or whataboutery: nato attacked Serbia in 1999 and Libya 🇱🇾 in 2011, plus America invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, so what’s the big deal if Russia misbehaves? Another variety is dietrismo, the notion that there must be some “inside” story behind events. Writing in the New Left Review, Wolfgang Streeck, a German Sociologist, posits that the hidden purpose of the crisis is to set the stage for putting a fearful eu under the thumb of a pumped-up nato.
What seems to link Europe’s far right, far left and “intellectual” opposition to Western policy is something simpler, however. It is a hoary, cold-war-style anti-Americanism. The East German-born Mr Chrupalla, for instance, insists the Amis have profited from Ukraine’s war by forcing Germany to switch from piped Russian natural gas to costlier liquified gas shipped from America. This is a trap, he hints, because imported American energy is so much more expensive that German manufacturers will have to shift production to America. Ms Wagenknecht, his left-wing rival, believes America forced the war on Russia by attempting to pull Ukraine into its “sphere of influence”.
At a recent political rally near Berlin Olaf Scholz, Germany’s chancellor, found himself heckled by a chorus of beefy peaceniks shouting “Warmonger!” Normally polite, soft-spoken and unflappable, Mr Scholz roared back into the microphone that it was Mr Putin who wanted to destroy and conquer Ukraine. “If you loudmouths had even a little bit of brain, you would know the real warmonger!” (Bullshit By Braindead Americans’ Puppet Olaf Scholz) ■

Suis-je un sentiment ?
Lorsque la nuit tombe à la fin de l’année, je me dois de voir que plus de trois sont passées Un ciel sombre, un croissant de lune qui se lève à l’horizon, comme celui qui, de ce recueil, est la raison Les écrits qui me précèdent ne sont pas mal faits, mais ils ne font que prétendre, où peut-être que cet autre moi était mauvais Je me libère du miroir, parce que je n’ai plus à vivre en parallèle d’anciens espoirs Et je le libère aussi, va-t’en, toi et ta tristesse, toi et ton cynisme, toi et ton suicide Mais avant tout, oui, surtout, va-t’en avec tous tes meurtres dont je reprends la responsabilité
De quelle empathie tu parles ? Ne te bats pas pour ce que tu n’es pas Des sentiments, des émotions, évidemment, je ne suis pas supérieur à ce qui existe ici-bas Ce soir, je poste une lettre et je m’en vais, parce que le soleil se lève Nous vivrons ensemble, parce qu’une nouvelle fleur est née, d’une graine qui n’aurait jamais cru voir le bleu du ciel Il n’y a aucun moyen de capturer mon essence, même si j’ai pu essayer
L’art se mouve et l’artiste bouge À demain

A Ghostbusters Fanfic Idea
So the lack of Egon fanfics disturbs me. Like he’s so awesome and amazing and I just need more,,,,
So, i’m planning to do a Ghostbusters fanfic.
The plot will follow Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II and Ghostbusters Afterlife - I have a really fun idea for that one and i’m really excited for it - and the love interest will be Egon.
Basically to sum it up, we, the lovely Y/N, will be one of the founding members of the Ghostbusters. Our basic backstory is that Y/N was a professor of Creative Literature and Mythology at the University. It was the Mythology background that got Y/N involved with Ray, Pete and Egon. After the boys get fired, we quit and go into business with them.
Just let me know if anyone would be interested in actually reading this because WE NEED MORE EGON FICS!

"I'll see what I can throw together. Hey, at least I know where to turn if things go awry. What are your rates? Juuuust in case."
Well, Egon pretty much summed it up perfectly in this post.
Basically, we don't overshoot on fees unless we're absolutely sure the person in question can afford it.
