Latin Phrases

I've been contemplating a tattoo with a pretentious and profound sounding latin phrase that kind of summarizes my late 20's life.

Here are my choices:

Sub sole sub umbra virens. Flourishing in sun or in shadow.

Fortis et liber. Strong and free.

Aut viam inveniam aut viam faciam. Either I will find a way, or I will make a way.

Si vis amari, ama. If you wish to be loved, love.

Illegitimi non carborundum. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Si vis pacem, para bellum. If you want peace, prepare for war.

Certavi et vici. I have fought and conquered.

Sic itur ad astra. Thus one journeys to the stars.

Fortuna audaces iuvat. Fortune favors the bold.

Fata viam invenient. The Fates will find a way.

Personally, I am drawn to number 10. For three reasons. One, because of the thought being divinely guided by the unknown comforts me. Two, because it's similar to the Daoist Wu Wei. Three, because as I navigate my late 20's, I find myself whispering this to myself more.

Number 3 is something I heavily resonate with as well. I often find myself having a hard time choosing between A and B and ending up thinking, "Why can't I have both? There is no reason I should not have both. If there isn't a way, then I'll make my own way." That line of thinking has helped me get through my 20's as well.

Mulling this decision over but I'm 100% sure that if I do decide on having a Latin "motto" tatted on me, it will be one of the 10 I listed.

If you don't read the last line, you can imagine whoever you want in the story.

I'm actually curious who do you see in the role of the male lead. 😂

It's not even 1000 words this time. Super short but not PG13. Read at your own discretion.

Also there are words in latin included. I have used Google translator so if any of you know latin, feel free to correct me. 😊

She couldn’t see a thing for the silken scarf firmly fixed on her eyes. Her wrists were tied up together with a smooth thick rope. She was bare naked, vulnerable, completely in the power of that man. She was standing in the middle of the room, her feet feeling cold on the marble mosaic floor. She knew she was standing in the middle of a circle of burning candles. She could smell the melting wax but the warmth of the small flames couldn’t reach her skin. Her arms were lifted up, the rope fixed to a hook on the ceiling. She listened to his steps circling her in the distance, too far away from her. He was taking his time, he always did. He liked to keep her tense and anticipating. Sometimes she thought he loved the complete control he had over her more, than he loved her as a person. Sometimes she thought she should leave him… but she never did, she could not.

A cold blow of a night breeze brushed over her skin making her shiver. She could hear his chuckle somewhere behind her back. She thought he would speak to her now, mock her and make fun of her but he remained silent and his steps were becoming quieter as he was walking away. Will he just leave her there? Practically hanging on a hook, naked, blindfolded, like a piece of meat? She twitched with the wrist ties but the knot was way too perfect and firm for her.

“Don’t even think about escaping!” His whisper sounded just by her ear and she nearly screamed but bit her tongue to prevent herself from doing it. He must have taken his shoes off and creeped behind her silently. “You belong to me, my dear. You are mine and only mine forever.” She never understood how his breath fanning her face felt so cold and yet burned her skin. She craved his touch but she knew she wasn't allowed to talk. All she could do was to wait patiently for his games he liked to play.

“Maybe you still think you can leave me. Maybe you still think you are able to pack your bags and disappear.” She heard him smelling her hair. “My devoted queen can’t disappear from me. I can’t allow that.”

She was hardly suppressing trembling, her stomach full of butterflies, her hair standing up. His presence was electrifying. He never ever raised his voice but whenever he told her to do something, she shivered and obeyed. Whenever he fixed his black eyes, as black as the deepest pit of hell, on her, she knew he could see through her flesh and bones, that he could read the secrets of her soul and watch the darkest corners of her mind. She felt a chill running down her spine whenever he smiled at her. It was scary and beautiful at the same time. She was never the type to submit to anyone until she met him. He made her kneel in front of him and thank him for it.

She twitched with the sudden touch on the skin of her right upper thigh. It wasn’t his hand, it was… Something soft and made of… hair? A paint brush!

“Bellum uxori…*” He whispered and the brush was painting letters on her skin. “Do you know what it means?” She shook her head. “Ego te voco…*” He started to paint letters on her left thigh. “Veni ad me…*” He whispered and started to paint on her lower back. “Invenire viam…* Hic es tu…* Veni nunc…* Invenient me ubi feram sunt…*” He went silent again but kept on drawing on her skin, this time she thought he was drawing symbols. And eventually, he drew his name on her chest, where her heart was beating fast.

“Whenever I speak the words, you will come to me. It doesn’t matter where you’re gonna be at the moment, you will come back to me. You will have no choice, my dear. When I pronounce those words, they will burn on your skin, leading you to me. You will come back into my arms because we were meant for each other. You can’t escape your destiny. You can’t escape me.” His lips brushed over hers. “Now say it!” He ordered her.

“I can’t escape you, master. I will always come back to you.” She said and his lips smiled against hers.

“Good girl.” He whispered and kissed her briefly, too briefly. She craved more and moaned. “Be patient, my dear.” He chuckled quietly. “We have only just begun.” He said tapping the paint brush on her chest. “There’s more for you to experience tonight before I take you to release.” He made a pause, she could feel his eyes marvelling over her painted body. “You look exceptionally beautiful tonight. I might skip some of sweet tortures on my list tonight if you’re a good girl.”

She gulped in anticipation. She was already burning with lust for him, she would fall on the floor in front of him begging him if she wasn’t tied up.

“I think you deserve to see me and yourself now.” He said and started to undo the blindfold. The silken scarf slided down her face and she blinked temporarily blinded by the light of candles. Their flames were flickering and wrapping her in a soft warm glow. She looked down at herself and gasped for air. Her skin was covered in words and symbols painted with black ink or maybe it was henna. And there, on her heart, she could see the hangul symbols, his name:

최승엽

*My beloved wife…I call you… Come to me… Find the way… Here you are… Come now… Find me where the wild things are

And yes, I imagined Seungyeop from E'LAST. Don't judge me. I was influenced by the readings. 😂

Thank you for reading this far. Let me know about your choice for the male lead.

Dr Nyarlethotep-ish question: What are your thoughts on how time-lords *really* look?

I don’t hold much with the idea that Time Lords’ humanoid forms are a “glamour” in a conventional sense. Certainly they can also take blatantly inhuman forms, but these are no more true or false than the human guise. 

However, I feel quite strongly for the implication in several official stories that they’re not actually made of conventional flesh, they just make it look that way. 

In fact Time Lords are made out of strands of sheer biodata, woven very finely into a humanoid puppet by the Looms, and constantly using their Observer Effect to at all times assert themselves as physical beings with weight, volume and mass. 

Both of @rassilon-imprimatur‘s Faction Paradox stories show a dying Homeworlder literally unravelling into strands of “silvery biodata”, which both suggests this interpretation of preclisely what the “looms” do (they’re very literal looms, guys) and confirms the interpretation that this thing in The Name of the Doctor…

…really is what is left of the Doctor in the end. Theoretically you could feed this straight back into a loom and reweave a new Time Lord out of it, who would in some cosmic sense be the Doctor’s reincarnation — not unlike how the Other was reloomed into the Doctor. 

The John Simm Master’s resurrection in The End of Time is surprisingly consistent with this notion: we see his body slowly reforming out of spiraling strands of glowy timey-wimey… stuff, extracted in part from the Master’s “imprint” or “biometrical signature” as recovered from Lucy Saxon.

“I could tell you what happened, but you will not believe me.” (@angelsrebellion, diggin’ up old memes!)

@angelsrebellion

She hadn’t even gotten to see Rinoa’s fifth birthday, and yet here she sat across the table, a very-much grown young woman that she barely recognized. Julia had heard her name more than once, in some fashion or another that didn’t seem quite pleasant, and while she was quite relieved to see Rinoa had thrived even in her absence, her heart did still hurt thinking about all those years they had been apart.

What could there possibly be to tell that would make her want to dismiss it as only fiction? Something more unbelievable than her own daughter - and the entire world with her - ageing more than a decade in the blink of an eye? She doubted it.

“Try me,” Julia replied gently, resting her forearms on the table and lightly curling her fingers around the warmth of her teacup, her eyes never leaving Rinoa’s. “I’ve lost out on a lot of time with you; I want to know what’s happened since I’ve been gone. Please.”

Title:  The Tree

Author:  H. P. Lovecraft

Genre(s): Horror & Supernatural Fiction, Short Stories

Language: English

Plot: On a slope of Mount Maenalus in Arcadia is an olive grove that grows around a marble tomb and the ruin of an old villa. There, one gigantic tree resembles a frighteningly distorted man, and the roots of the tree have shifted the blocks of the tomb.

The narrator explains that the beekeeper who lives next door told him a story about the tree: Two renowned sculptors, Kalos and Musides, lived in the colonnaded villa, which was "resplendent" in its day. Both men created works that were widely known and celebrated. They were devoted friends, but different in disposition: Musides enjoyed the nightlife, while Kalos preferred the quiet of the olive grove. It was there he was said to receive his inspiration.

One day, emissaries from "the Tyrant of Syracuse" ask the sculptors each to create a statue of Tyché (Greek: τύχη, lit. 'fortune; fate'). The statue, they are told, must be "of great size and cunning workmanship", since it is to be "a wonder of nations and a goal of travellers." The most beautiful statue will be erected in the Tyrant's city, Syracuse. Kalos and Musides accept the commission. Secretly, the Tyrant expects the sculptors not only to compete but to cooperate, resulting in statuary that will be truly magnificent.

The work proceeds, and although Musides is still social and active, he seems morose—apparently because Kalos has fallen ill. Despite Kalos' weakened state, his visitors detect in him a serenity that contrasts Musides' dismay. Despite the efforts of his doctors and his friend Musides, Kalos weakens. When Kalos' death seems imminent, Musides weeps and promises to carve for him an elaborate marble sepulchre. Kalos asks that one twig each from two specific olive trees in the grove be buried near his head. Soon after, Kalos dies in the olive grove.

Musides builds the tomb and buries the olive twigs. From the burial place of the twigs an enormous olive tree grows at an incredible rate. An especially large branch hangs over the villa and Musides' statue.

Three years later, Musides' work on the statue is complete. The Tyrant's agents arrive, then head to town to stay the night. That evening, a windstorm whips down the mountain. When the Tyrant's people return to the villa the next morning, they find it utterly destroyed; the great tree branch has fallen, and Musides' statue has been crushed into unrecognizable pieces. Musides himself is nowhere to be found.

The end of the story recalls the Latin aphorism that precedes the text: "Fata viam invenient" ("fate will find a way"). Summary By Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tree_(short_story)
