[missusruin]

I am allowed one (1) self-indulgent gacha game post here a year and I'm using it to show my c6 Shenhe + wep I got with 450 pulls.

[totally-italy]

Wherefore dost motivation hold deep hatred for me?

As the heading probably implies, I am currently lacking a lot of motivation, which is truly sub-optimal because I literally have my Italian GCSEs this week and I literally have not revised. Moreover, my End of Years are fast approaching and I have my French GCSEs in three week's time. Help.

Consequentially, even though my history teacher still refuses to believe that it is a word, I have decided to turn this into one of those posts where my dopamine literally just relies on the number of notes that I recieve. As promised, @the-red-planet-mars, the floor is yours you have been tagged.

Rules:

Please don't spam the comment section.

You can tag a maximum of 5 people.

Please don't spam reblog.

10 notes: I will actually plan my English homework so that I can then do it without having to ask for an extension. It is due on the day on which I have two of my Italian papers.

15 notes: I will update my 'Aeneid' notes so that my virtual document is up to date with the translations that we have done in class. I should technically also revise the themes and how Juno is portrayed, but we don't talk about that right now.

20 notes: If I haven't done this yet, I will create both a Spanish Quizlet with all the vocabulary I need to learn and I will create a Latin one for all the vocabulary from 'The Aeneid' that I need to know.

25 notes: I will plan, in English, different things that I could say for the picture for my French IGCSE oral. Also, this is a picture I will be using for my Spanish End of Years, so that is doubly helpful.

30 notes: I will do an Italian listening paper though I will listen to it at a faster speed than what is asked because otherwise I will literally get so bored and lose all will to live.

45 notes: I will finish researching Virgil and the historical context.

60 notes: I will practice Latin and Greek vocabulary on Quizlet every day after this week, for at least 10 minutes each day for each language.

75 notes: I really need to do this. I will make a poster with how to form different tenses in Italian.

100 notes: I will do an Italian Writing practice paper. This is going to cause me so much suffering. Help me.

120 notes: I will actually write down different expressions, including idomatic phrases, that I could use to describe the picture for my French IGCSE oral.

130 notes: I will make physics notes on energy.

140 notes: I will make notes on quantitative chemistry.

150 notes: I will make a poster with how to form different tenses in French.

155 notes: I will watch the AQA videos on the Cold War and make notes on them.

170 notes: I will do a practice Spanish listening paper.

200 notes: I will practice Latin and Greek vocabulary on Quizlet every day after this week, for at least 30 minutes each day for each language, including a written vocabulary test.

230 notes: I will do a practice Spanish reading and writing paper.

250 notes: I will do a practice Latin translation and ask my teacher if she happens to have a mark scheme.

270 notes: I will do a practice Greek translation and ask my teacher if she happens to have a mark scheme.

300 notes: I will finish my RSP notes on Crime and Punishment.

350 notes: I finish my Biology notes on reproduction.

380 notes: I will finish my RSP notes on Religion and Life.

430 notes: I will look through my history notes on Germany and finish them in accordance to the AQA book.

520 notes: I will do a practice Greek language paper.

530 notes: I will do a practice Latin language paper.

605 notes: I will actually write down different expressions, including idomatic phrases, that I could use to describe the picture for my Spanish End of Year oral.

720 notes: I will finish my RSP notes on Buddhism.

850 notes: I will make full notes on the Cold War.

Honestly, if you have even bothered to read through all of these, you have absolutely earned more respect that I thought I was capable of giving to a single human being. I technically have a lot more things I should do, including re-reading Things Fall Apart and actually making complete maths notes, as well as notes for the sciences, but I doubt I will never get this many tags anyway.

Edit: It has been five minutes and I already got 14 notes. I am actually terrified of this site. What in Tartarus? Y'all are crazy and I love you so much.

Dirges in The Dark by WixWrites

Before I start, let me just say: Ranchers! Scarian! Hermits and Life Series and Empires characters! Sheriff Jimmy! Sheriff Scar! Criminal Tango! the Wild West! Treebark and Ethubs!

RANCHERS. THE WILD WEST. CREEPING ELDRITCH HORROR.

Whoo, that was a rush.

I'll be honest; I think this book would have come out much sooner if not for my decision to add-in a whole lot of stuff into the text and pages. It got to the point that the original cover would have been a wanted poster at the front and a sheriff's report at the back!

I had to restrain myself, lest this book would never get finished at all. It's already been 59 days since my last post, and doing the original cover would have stretched the days even further. So I had to follow the mantra: Finished, not perfect. Besides, nothing says I can't make another version in the future...

From the moment I finished this fic, I knew it would become a book. But at 143,412 words, Dirges in The Dark by @twodiamondhoes would stretch my ficbinding skills to the limit and would be the second-ever bind that would reach past 250 pages (the first was an MCYT Sleepy Bois fic that predates this blog that I want to redo).

Eventually, the full typeset took up 520 pages! And as such, I finally decided to use extra support for the entire textblock. From an old pair of pajamas, I backed strips of fabric with glue and paper before cutting it into tapes, forming a crucial support for the various weaves along the spine. I then covered the entire spine in brown wrapping paper for even more strength.

For the title and headings, I scoured for and found several typefaces, dingbats, and vector graphics which really evoked the fic's Western and Gothic vibes. I also took some inspiration from fellow ficbinders in the Renegade Publishing group for the style of layout and formatting throughout the book, such as using faded images in the background of these pre-story pages.

I wanted the reader to be immersed in the Wild West from the get-go, so having such images from the start — before the story even begins — felt very appropriate. I tried to make them thematic to the information presented, like a singing cowboy for the music playlist pages, but I think I made the image too faint to be seen!

As for the chapter openers, I experimented with some layouts before finalizing on what you see: photos taking up one entire page on the left with the chapter titles and opening paragraphs on the right.

Just like my last bind, I want to make the reader feel immersed in the story and also bring out the mood of that particular chapter. This, however, led me to entire days of scouting and scouring stock photo sites just to find the right pictures for 11 different chapters. 4/10 would not recommend for sanity.

Given that the story uses a number of foreign words, old slang, and specific Wild West-era terms, I added a plethora of footnotes at the bottom of some pages for extra context and meaning.

I also wanted to be playful and make certain story parts, such as characters receiving letters and notes, really look like they're a part of the story. So I cropped old paper textures and fished out old fonts from the past to make them look as if they're actually there, pasted against the paragraphs!

More importantly, there were some specific parts of the fic that felt super important and I wanted to highlight these passages, especially the Deals made by the characters throughout their arcs. Given DiTD has a certain affinity with eldritch darkness, I decided to highlight such paragraphs by backlighting them against a band of pure black. Besides being thematic as hell, I made the bands have curved edges and decorative lines to add a certain western-gothic touch!

It was from this that I begin to think "what if I can color entire pages to convey the mood and setting?"

...Which led to the madness in these pages. I can't reveal too much because of spoilers, but there are certain times when the characters end up in situations where the very light turns to dark. Or they end up in hellish situations. Or the eldritch creatures began to speak.

It took some creative brainstorming to figure out how to show the mood of such scenes in printed pages, but I eventually figured out that I need find the right fonts, change their colors from black to white, and then change their backgrounds from white to dark to highlight them all! The power of formatting!

There's a lot more pages where I went wild with such shades and fonts, but I ain't revealing in public because spoilers!

But undoubtedly, this is the biggest experiment I have made with this bind. There is a certain part where Grian and Pearl spoke in eldritch R'lyehian / Cthuvian, and I want to convey the sheer strangeness of the speech and it's meaning. Something outside the box.

Luckily, I have an inspiration in fellow fanbinder @mythrilthread, who made an amazing fanbind that used vellum overlays to showcase the speaking of alien languages and what they mean in English. AND IT LOOKS SICK AS FUCK. When I finished reading Dirges, I knew I had to emulate this form of language translation, so I printed the eldritch speech, cut it, and pasted it onto the spine to give a similar effect of strangeness, and IT LOOKS SO COOL!!!

And lastly, I just had to include some of the amazing fanart made by readers into the book! All of these are placed by their corresponding text and chapters, and they all look so cool!

So I want to give a special thanks to @azzayofchaos, @leafdoodles, @hybbart, and @foxyola for granting their permission for me to include their incredible works into this bind! The dark shades and page formatting is one thing, but these works truly make this book feel so much more alive!

All in all, this bind was an odyssey in the making. I experimented with page formatting, layout wizardry, and bookmaking methods that I haven't tried before. While I know I could do better, I am beyond happy to see this work finished!

And once again, a thousand thanks to @twodiamondhoes / WixWrites for crafting an amazing story!

Help me math this and get it straight.

Kim Dokja mentions that it was released over the span of 10 years? On a daily release schedule?

Which makes sense because 10 x 365 = 3650. Assuming HSY didn't post on weekends, (or at least, let's say she didn't post on Sundays) that's 10 x 52 = 520 days total not posting... which is 3130. Let's just say she posts extra chapters for fun to bump it up to the 3149 chapter count.

But Ways of Survival started when Kim Dokja was fifteen right? (Or was it before he turned 15 that winter, so technically he was 14?)

...wasn't it actually released over the span of 13-ish years??

[hadeth]

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه،عن النّبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ‏"‏ فضل صلاة الجميع على صلاة الواحد خمسٌ وعشرون درجةً، وتجتمع ملائكة اللّيل وملائكة النّهار في صلاة الصّبح ‏"‌‏.‏ يقول أبو هريرة اقرءوا إن شئتم ‏{‏وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا‏}‌‏. صحيح البخاري حديث ٤٧١٧

Abu Huraira said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'A prayer performed in congregation is twenty-five times more superior in reward to a prayer performed by a single person. The angels of the night and the angels of the day are assembled at the time of the Fajr (Morning) prayer." Abu Huraira added, "If you wish, you can recite:-- 'Verily! The recitation of the Qur'an in the early dawn (Morning prayer) is ever witnessed (attended by the angels of the day and the night).' (17.78) Sahih AlBukhari 4717

قد بيَّن فى هذا الباب المعنى الذى أوجب التفضيل لشهود الفجر فى جماعة، وهو اجتماع ملائكة الليل، والنهار فيها، ولقد قال عمر بن الخطاب: لأن أشهد الفجر فى جماعة أحب إلى من أن أقوم ليلة، وقد روى أبو هريرة عن الرسول أن ملائكة الليل والنهار يجتمعون فى صلاة العصر أيضًا. قال المهلب: فلما خص الفجر بشهود الملائكة لها، وكان مثل ذلك فى صلاة العصر، وأشبهت الفجر فى هذه الفضيلة، أمر الرسول بالمحافظة على العصر ليكون من حضرهما ترفع الملائكة عمله، وتشفع له. قال المؤلف: ويمكن أن يكون اجتماع الملائكة فى الفجر والعصر هُما الدرجتان الزائدتان على الخمسة والعشرين جزءًا فى سائر الصلوات التى لا تجتمع الملائكة فيها، والله أعلم، وإنما قلت هذا من قول أبى هريرة: سمعت الرسول يقول: (تفضل صلاة الجماعة صلاة أحدكم وحده بخمسة وعشرين جزءًا، وتجتمع ملائكة الليل وملائكة النهار فى صلاة الفجر) ، فذكر اجتماع الملائكة فى الفجر بواو فاصلة، واستأنف الكلام، وقطعه من الجملة المتقدمة، فدل ذلك على أن اجتماع الملائكة يوجب فضلاً ودرجة زائدة على الخمسة وعشرين، فصارتا درجتين للفجر والعصر، ليستا لغيرهما من الصلوات. شرح صحيح البخاري لابن بطال ()

وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ بِسَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً وَالْجَمْعُ بَيْنَهَا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَوْجُهٍ أَحَدُهَا أَنَّهُ لَا مُنَافَاةَ بَيْنَهَا فَذِكْرُ الْقَلِيلِ لَا يَنْفِي الْكَثِيرَ وَمَفْهُومُ الْعَدَدِ بَاطِلٌ عِنْدَ جُمْهُورِ الْأُصُولِيِّينَ وَالثَّانِي أَنْ يَكُونَ أَخْبَرَ أَوَّلًا بِالْقَلِيلِ ثُمَّ أَعْلَمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِزِيَادَةِ الْفَضْلِ فَأَخْبَرَ بِهَا الثَّالِثُ أَنَّهُ يَخْتَلِفُ بِاخْتِلَافِ أَحْوَالِ الْمُصَلِّينَ وَالصَّلَاةُ فَيَكُونُ لِبَعْضِهِمْ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ وَلِبَعْضِهِمْ سَبْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ بحسب كمال الصلاة ومحافظته على هيآتها وَخُشُوعِهَا وَكَثْرَةِ جَمَاعَتِهَا وَفَضْلِهِمْ وَشَرَفِ الْبُقْعَةِ وَنَحْوِ ذَلِكَ فَهَذِهِ هِيَ الْأَجْوِبَةُ الْمُعْتَمَدَةُ وَقَدْ قِيلَ إِنَّ الدَّرَجَةَ غَيْرُ الْجُزْءِ وَهَذَا غَفْلَةٌ مِنْ قَائِلِهِ فَإِنَّ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ سَبْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً وَخَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً فَاخْتَلَفَ الْقَدْرُ مَ��َ اتِّحَادِ لَفْظِ الدَّرَجَةِ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ… النووي على مسلم ()

قال ابن جرير الطبري رحمه الله: " وأما قوله: وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ فإن معناه: وأقم قرآن الفجر: أي ما تقرأ به صلاة الفجر من القرآن، والقرآن معطوف على الصلاة في قوله: أَقِمِ الصَّلاةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ، وكان بعض نحويي البصرة يقول: نصب قوله: وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ على الإغراء، كأنه قال: وعليك قرآن الفجر، إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا يقول: إن ما تقرأ به في صلاة الفجر من القرآن كان مشهودا، يشهده فيما ذكر ملائكة الليل وملائكة النهار، وبالذي قلنا في ذلك قال أهل التأويل، وجاءت الآثار عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم" انتهى من " جامع البيان " (17/520).

وقال الحافظ ابن كثير رحمه الله: "وقوله تعالى: وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ يعني: صلاة الفجر" انتهى من "تفسير القرآن العظيم" (5/102).

وقال القرطبي رحمه الله: "وعبر عنها بالقرآن خاصة دون غيرها من الصلوات؛ لأن القرآن هو أعظمها، إذ قراءتها طويلة مجهور به�� حسبما هو مشهور مسطور" انتهى من "الجامع لأحكام القرآن" (10/304). الإسلام سؤال وجواب ()

This Hadīth indicates that a prayer in congregation is twenty five times better and greater than a prayer offered individually. Then, it mentions that the angels of the night and the angels of the day assemble during the Fajr prayer. Thereafter, Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) cited in support of this meaning the verse that says: {Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed} [Sūrat al-Isrā': 78]. In other words, the Fajr prayer is witnessed and attended by the angels of the day and the angels of the night. It is referred to as Qur’an here because it is Sunnah to prolong the recitation of the Qur’an therein more than in other prayers, and given the merit of its Qur’an’s recitation, which is witnessed by Allah, the Almighty, and the angels of the night and the angels of the day.

summary: for ricky, the best birthdays are spent with you

a/n happy ricky day~ little late here but it's 520 somewhere ~

Read part 1 here~

“You know I’m going to miss you right?”

You’re 12. It’s Ricky’s last birthday with you before his family moves and puts oceans and time zones between your friendship.

“We have each other’s SNS,” he points out. “You already made me promise to send pictures when the plane lands. Don’t make it weird.”

“But I will,” you insist. “I’m just saying, you know, it’s going to be weird not seeing your ugly face all the time.”

“You’re ugly,” he retorts because puberty is starting to get to the both of you, making it awkward and strange in ways where only you can understand what the other is going through.

“I hope you stay ugly forever.”

“Take that back.”

“No.”

“Yes.”

“Nope.” You have the audacity to make a face at him.

“Take it back.”

“Okay, tell me you’ll miss me too.”

“Ugh, you’re so annoying.”

“Say it or I won’t take it back and you’ll just be ug-”

“Okay, okay, fine.”

You look at him expectantly, arms crossed over your chest with the most infuriating expression that a 12 year old can muster on your face. He takes a deep breath, staring back at you.

“I’ll miss you.”

“Really? Is that it?”

“Did you ask me to say anything else? I said it.” Okay fair enough.

“Fine. I knew you’d miss me anyways.”

God, you’re annoying. It’s even more annoying when you give him your gift and it’s an amazingly huge sketchbook along with a pizza-themed birthday card where you’ve written too many words for him to even read in one sitting. And it’s the most annoying when Ricky gets off the plane and he’s in his new bedroom in his new house and he realises that-

-well, he actually really misses you too.

__________________________________________

“Happy 16th, Ricky-ah!”

It’s been four years since Ricky’s had a birthday with you beyond the greeting messages you’d send, maybe a short call if the timing is right.

It’s absolute chaos. (But that’s mostly Gyuvin and Junhyeon’s fault)

Somehow, they’ve managed to turn his desk into a- he didn’t even know what to call it. Black construction taped over the top, someone (definitely Gyuvin) managed to hang silver streamers right from the ceiling above and his chair completely covered in gold foil and shiny red cellophane in some sort of convoluted throne.

They also tried to surprise him when he walked into the classroom but jokes on them, Ricky learned how to hold a poker face and keep himself from flinching a long time ago. Probably from that time when you were 10 and made a game out of who could give each other the bigger scare. It was stupid. So stupid that Ricky decided to learn how to do that because you were so cute when you were frustrated.

Oh cute what? He’s pretty sure 10 year old Ricky didn’t have any reasoning like that.

He’s just letting you put that silly plastic crown on him because he’s nice and it’s been awhile and he doesn’t want you whining about it to him the whole day. Nevermind that the look he gives Gyuvin promises blood, murder and death if the other boy so much as said anything. 

(Gyuvin says something anyway, Ricky’s really going to punch him one day no he isn’t )

You even get him one of those little cakes from that convenience store and cafe near your school. It’s your lunch break and you’re leading the birthday song, sitting across from him, clapping your hands as Gyuvin, Junhyeon and even Gunwook decide to try and do their own harmonic rendition.

“Make a wish, Ricky-ah~”

Maybe Ricky’s definitely deaf from Junhyeon’s creative decision to belt the song out at maximum volume. Maybe his fist is twitching in an effort to resist the urge to sock the shit-eating grin off of Gyuvin’s face. But suddenly, all he can see is how your eyes shine, even if that’s probably from the light or the glow of the candle.

Ricky makes a wish and he realises that-

-well he might actually like you more than he thinks. (And by more than he thinks, yes, like more than friends).

__________________________________________

“So now will you tell me what birthday gift you want?”

Your boyfriend gives you that coy look which honestly, you don’t know how he’s capable of doing at your young age.

It’s been pretty great so far. You had birthday lunch with the dog mafia, their unofficially adopted children and a few other friends at Ricky’s favourite pizza place. And you’ll have dinner with his family later.

Right now, you’re at his house, lazing the afternoon away because Ricky had insisted on spending time together, just the two of you. Honestly, you’re pretty sure he was about one more side comment away from actually strangling Gyuvin if you hadn’t tugged him away.

“Remember when I turned 12 and you called me ugly?”

“Eh, all of a sudden?”

“You never took it back.”

The incredulity of your stare is very much felt by both of you. Dumbfounded, literally.

“What- are you- is this for real? You’re kidding me right?”

He takes your hands in his, pulling you towards him so you’re staring right at each other. You tilt your head back, seriously he needs to stop with the rizz.

“Take it back.”

“Seriously?”

“Take it back.”

“Okay, okay I'll take it back. God, anything else you want?”

He leans in, pressing his lips to yours. You jump a little, not exactly expecting that. And then you melt. He pulls back, leaving a hint of strawberry and the smell of his cologne.

“19.”

“What?”

“I want 19 of that for my birthday.” He’s managed to keep a completely straight face but you have eyes and the pink on his cheek and at the tip of his ears is definitely not a trick of the light. Well, two can play a game.

You lean forward, cup his face in between your palms and peck him on the nose a few times, giggling. 

One. Two. Three. Four.

You press light ones over each eyelid, propping yourself up to kiss his foreheads, littering small ones all over his cheeks. 

Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve. Thirteen. Four-

Maybe you lose count at some point, your lips lingering over his, soft and sweet. You playfully bite at his bottom lip before pulling back to look at him. He’s definitely trying not to smile too much.

“For the record, I never really thought you were ugly.”

“I know.” Your nose scrunches up and he kisses the corner of your mouth.

“You’re lucky it’s your birthday”

“Ah, so can I have 19 more?”

Honestly? He can have all the kisses he wants. Even on days that aren’t his birthday.

Jian yi: You are on He tian's lap right now.

Momo, sits on He tian's lap *octopus style*: This means nothing. Fear me.

So, I'm a complete sucker for a good good romance. THIS particular elriel romance in WBITDG is my absolute favorite. And honestly? I'm reading other books to get the same feelings I get when I read your romance between Elain and Azriel, and they always fall short. They just don't compare, unfortunately. So thank you for taking the time to write this absolute beast of a fanfic and sharing it with fellow elriels as we wait to see sjm make a move on their story. I appreciate the hours/days/weeks you put into staring at your computer editing and wondering "Is this good enough?". Well, it's beyond good enough. Quite fantastic, if you ask me. I can't picture these two characters any other way.

Also, I'm so excited to read the full flashback of Elain and Az after the war. I look forward to more if it's in your plans.

Anywho, all this to say thank you.

This just made my week thank you.

The process is funny, it takes readers I dunno, 10-25 minutes to read an update. But each chapter takes me appx. 30 hours of writing / erasing / reworking / cringing / self loathing, rinse, repeat lol. This story has taken over my life this year. It's 520 pages long in novel format, can you believe?!

I know a lot of fandom writers write for themselves. But the deeply emotional nature of the darkgarden is not... fun. I am not writing it for my own enjoyment. I write for yall and so that Elain gets a love story that aches and burns and destroys worlds in the softest ways, no matter what happens in canon.

I frequently wish I had pursued something short, fun, sweet or sexy to try my hand at writing rather than taking on a full length angst+longing centric slow burn novel. but here we are 😂

Thoughts like yours really makes it all so worth it. All my love to you, honeybee.

Ch. 33 up on Monday ish!

BUFFY: Thanks for side-kicking. I didn't want to trouble Willow. Figure she's got enough to do. First day back and all. XANDER: Are you kidding? We're doing vent work at the site. Anything's better than breathing freon for eight hours. (beat) So, did she say what this thing is? BUFFY: Some sort of spider demony thingy. She had to go pretty quickly. I think she had to sign up for classes or something. XANDER: Ah, yes, there is little that can distract the Willow when she's on the hunt for the mighty syllabi. BUFFY: I don't know. I guess she was a little more nervous than she was letting on.
