#3E-Contempt.

[serendipitous-posts]

that post about 1-A being scared of 3-E?? pls THAT WAS SO AMAZING. ALSO THE FACT THAT YOU KNOW IT TERMS OF SHEER PHYSICAL ABILITIES LIKE RUNNING, CLIMBING TREES, ETC. ONLY FEW IN 1-A ARE ADEPT AT THAT. LIKE BAKUGOU, TENYA, MIDORIYA (not even todoroki). they rely on their quirks too much

wHILE on the other hand we've 3-E? they don't walk on roads, no luv that's for peasants, they jump from one roof to the other, that episode where they scaled that huge hill (rock?) to get the antidote??

if 3-E were to be given quirks, imagine the power they'll hold

ALSO THAT BIT WERE BAKUGOU GETS SHREDDED BY 3-E?? i can imagine the pin drop silence that follows his threat and then slowly 3-E gathers around him (karma is leading the pack you can't convince me otherwise) with the most obnoxious smiles on their faces LIKE WOHOO ANOTHER ASSASSINATION

i am sorry if i ranted too much-

YOU. YOU GET ME

YEAH! 

Because yes, 1A does physical work and yes they’re good at fighting but these guys? These guys have done nothing but combat training. They were trained in the freaking WILDERNESS not some big fancy school where all their needs were met.

And look. Look. Like I said, there is a stigma against quirkless, and I’m willing to bet MOST of the group have internalized it. Hell, Izuku himself probably has. He wanted to be a hero but was only capable of doing so when he got a quirk. They definitely think 3E are helpless. Maybe they heard stories from the other 3 classes if they’re there and don’t really wanna spend time around a bunch of ‘no-good delinquents’

3E would treat 1A with such contempt, relying so much on their quirks. Where’s the guns? Where’s the blades? Where’s the twenty step plan in how to extract yourself?

These guys would jump out the windows of top story buildings to practice their landing technique, would absolutely try to kill each other to make sure the other is on their game. Have no problem breaking other peoples bones and slitting throats.

TLDR: Bakugou would have the fear of god put into him

Just going to vomit this up here: Exalted Help

I’m not at all sure what I’m looking for here. I’d like to get into an Exalted 3E game, but these days I have an easier time making characters for Chuubo or Fate games. D&D 5th edition is about the most complex I’ve gotten to play.

I’d like to get this concept off the ground, he’s the first character I played in any Exalted game and I want to get him working for 3E. Right now, I think all I need is 1 Charm, 2-3 Merit Points, and 5 BP to spend.

Name: Wild Falcon/Phoenix Concept: Wayward pugilist youth trying to become the best fighter.

Caste: Dawn Caste Anima: A crimson and white bird of prey with violet feathers at the end.

Intimacies:

“I need to be the best fighter” (Defining Principle)

“Dying is easy. Killing is easy. That don’t impress me.” (Major Principle)

Iron Comb (My Mentor/God, Major)

“I wish to have a place in this world” (Minor Principle)

Bullies (Contempt, Minor)

Birds (Affinity, Minor)

Assume Brawl, Dodge, Athletics, and Thrown stay in, though Thrown is more for disabling gambits than for actual attacks. I imagine Falcon fights like a bird would fight if a bird had supernatural fighting prowess. It’s been awhile since I’ve looked at this sheet, so I’m not 100% on what I was thinking.

Genesis 38

Note the distinct appellations of Tamar as זנה harlot and as קדשׁ holy (prostitute).

Lace is one of the possible readings for a portion of Judah's security.  Perhaps it was a wire bracelet, possibly an embroidered medallion. 

Genesis 38 Fn Min Max Syll וַֽיְהִי֙ בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֔וא וַיֵּ֥רֶד יְהוּדָ֖ה מֵאֵ֣ת אֶחָ֑יו וַיֵּ֛ט עַד־אִ֥ישׁ עֲדֻלָּמִ֖י וּשְׁמ֥וֹ חִירָֽה 1 And it happened at that time that Judah descended from his kin, and he bent to a man, an Adullamite, and his name was Xirah [Mr Burns]. 3d 4B 16 12 וַיַּרְא־שָׁ֧ם יְהוּדָ֛ה בַּת־אִ֥ישׁ כְּנַעֲנִ֖י וּשְׁמ֣וֹ שׁ֑וּעַ וַיִּקָּחֶ֖הָ וַיָּבֹ֥א אֵלֶֽיהָ 2 And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanite man, and his name was Crying for Help [Shuah]. And he took her and came to her. 3c 4B 17 11 וַתַּ֖הַר וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּ֑ן וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ עֵֽר 3 And she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, and he called his name Er [Roused]. 3e 4B 7 7 וַתַּ֥הַר ע֖וֹד וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּ֑ן וַתִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ אוֹנָֽן 4 And she became pregnant yet again, and she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Cavil [Onan]. 3e 4B 8 8 וַתֹּ֤סֶף עוֹד֙ וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּ֔ן וַתִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ שֵׁלָ֑ה וְהָיָ֥ה בִכְזִ֖יב בְּלִדְתָּ֥הּ אֹתֽוֹ 5 And she added yet again, and she gave birth to a son, and she called his name Shelah [Ease]. And it was in Kezib that she gave birth to him. 3e 4C 16 10 וַיִּקַּ֧ח יְהוּדָ֛ה אִשָּׁ֖ה לְעֵ֣ר בְּכוֹר֑וֹ וּשְׁמָ֖הּ תָּמָֽר 6 And took Judah a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar [Palm-tree]. 3c 4B 13 4 וַיְהִ֗י עֵ֚ר בְּכ֣וֹר יְהוּדָ֔ה רַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיְמִתֵ֖הוּ יְהוָֽה 7 And Er the firstborn of Judah was evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and Yahweh put him to death. 3e 4C 14 6 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוּדָה֙ לְאוֹנָ֔ן בֹּ֛א אֶל־אֵ֥שֶׁת אָחִ֖יךָ וְיַבֵּ֣ם אֹתָ֑הּ וְהָקֵ֥ם זֶ֖רַע לְאָחִֽיךָ 8 And said Judah to Cavil, Go to the wife of your brother and combine with her, and raise up seed for your brother. 3d 4C 21 9 וַיֵּ֣דַע אוֹנָ֔ן כִּ֛י לֹּ֥א ל֖וֹ יִהְיֶ֣ה הַזָּ֑רַע וְהָיָ֞ה אִם־בָּ֨א אֶל־אֵ֤שֶׁת אָחִיו֙ וְשִׁחֵ֣ת אַ֔רְצָה לְבִלְתִּ֥י נְתָן־זֶ֖רַע לְאָחִֽיו 9 And Cavil knew that the seed would not be his, and so it was when he came to the wife of his brother, that he impaired earthward, lest he give seed for his brother. 3d 4C 13 25 וַיֵּ֛רַע בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֑ה וַיָּ֖מֶת גַּם־אֹתֽוֹ 10 And it was an irritation in the eyes of Yahweh, what he did, and he put him to death also. 3d 4B 12 6 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוּדָה֩ לְתָמָ֨ר כַּלָּת֜וֹ שְׁבִ֧י אַלְמָנָ֣ה בֵית־אָבִ֗יךְ עַד־יִגְדַּל֙ שֵׁלָ֣ה בְנִ֔י כִּ֣י אָמַ֔ר פֶּן־יָמ֥וּת גַּם־ה֖וּא כְּאֶחָ֑יו וַתֵּ֣לֶךְ תָּמָ֔ר וַתֵּ֖שֶׁב בֵּ֥ית אָבִֽיהָ 11 And Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Settle as widow in the house of your father, until Shelah my son grows up. (For he said, Lest he die also, he, as his brothers.) And Tamar went and settled in the house of her father. 3c 4B 38 12 וַיִּרְבּוּ֙ הַיָּמִ֔ים וַתָּ֖מָת בַּת־שׁ֣וּעַ אֵֽשֶׁת־יְהוּדָ֑ה וַיִּנָּ֣חֶם יְהוּדָ֗ה וַיַּ֜עַל עַל־גֹּֽזֲזֵ֤י צֹאנוֹ֙ ה֗וּא וְחִירָ֛ה רֵעֵ֥הוּ הָעֲדֻלָּמִ֖י תִּמְנָֽתָה 12 And the days increased and the daughter of Crying for Help, the wife of Judah, died, and Judah was comforted, and he went up to the shearers of his flock, he and Xirah, his associate, the Adullamite, to Timnah. 3d 4C 17 31 וַיֻּגַּ֥ד לְתָמָ֖ר לֵאמֹ֑ר הִנֵּ֥ה חָמִ֛יךְ עֹלֶ֥ה תִמְנָ֖תָה לָגֹ֥ז צֹאנֽוֹ 13 And it was told to Tamar, saying, Behold, your husband's father is going up to Timnah to shear his flock. 3d 4A 8 13 וַתָּסַר֩ בִּגְדֵ֨י אַלְמְנוּתָ֜הּ מֵֽעָלֶ֗יהָ וַתְּכַ֤ס בַּצָּעִיף֙ וַתִּתְעַלָּ֔ף וַתֵּ֙שֶׁב֙ בְּפֶ֣תַח עֵינַ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־דֶּ֣רֶךְ תִּמְנָ֑תָה כִּ֤י רָאֲתָה֙ כִּֽי־גָדַ֣ל שֵׁלָ֔ה וְהִ֕וא לֹֽא־נִתְּנָ֥ה ל֖וֹ לְאִשָּֽׁה 14 And she put aside the garments of her widowhood from over her, and she covered herself with a blanket, and she languished, and she sat in a visible door, that was on the way to Timnah, for she saw that Shelah was grown and she was not given to him for a wife. 3e 4C 38 17 וַיִּרְאֶ֣הָ יְהוּדָ֔ה וַֽיַּחְשְׁבֶ֖הָ לְזוֹנָ֑ה כִּ֥י כִסְּתָ֖ה פָּנֶֽיהָ 15 When Judah saw her, he reckoned her as a prostitute, for she had covered her face. 3e 4B 15 6 וַיֵּ֨ט אֵלֶ֜יהָ אֶל־הַדֶּ֗רֶךְ וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ הָֽבָה־נָּא֙ אָב֣וֹא אֵלַ֔יִךְ כִּ֚י לֹ֣א יָדַ֔ע כִּ֥י כַלָּת֖וֹ הִ֑וא וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ מַה־תִּתֶּן־לִּ֔י כִּ֥י תָב֖וֹא אֵלָֽי 16 And he bent to her by the way, and said, Take care, if you will. Let me come to you. (For he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law.) And she said, What do you give me when you come to me? 3e 4C 29 12 וַיֹּ֕אמֶר אָנֹכִ֛י אֲשַׁלַּ֥ח גְּדִֽי־עִזִּ֖ים מִן־הַצֹּ֑אן וַתֹּ֕אמֶר אִם־תִּתֵּ֥ן עֵרָב֖וֹן עַ֥ד שָׁלְחֶֽךָ 17 And he said, I myself will send out a male kid of the she-goats from the flock. And she said, If you will give surety until you send. 3d 4A 15 13 וַיֹּ֗אמֶר מָ֣ה הָֽעֵרָבוֹן֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶתֶּן־לָּךְ֒ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר חֹתָֽמְךָ֙ וּפְתִילֶ֔ךָ וּמַטְּךָ֖ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּיָדֶ֑ךָ וַיִּתֶּן־לָּ֛הּ וַיָּבֹ֥א אֵלֶ֖יהָ וַתַּ֥הַר לֽוֹ 18 And he said, What is the surety that I will give to you? And she said, Your seal and your lace and your rod that is in your hand. And he gave to her, and he came to her, and she became pregnant for him. 3d 4B 32 14 וַתָּ֣קָם וַתֵּ֔לֶךְ וַתָּ֥סַר צְעִיפָ֖הּ מֵעָלֶ֑יהָ וַתִּלְבַּ֖שׁ בִּגְדֵ֥י אַלְמְנוּתָֽהּ 19 And she arose, and she went, and put aside her blanket from over her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. 3e 4B 16 9 וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח יְהוּדָ֜ה אֶת־גְּדִ֣י הָֽעִזִּ֗ים בְּיַד֙ רֵעֵ֣הוּ הָֽעֲדֻלָּמִ֔י לָקַ֥חַת הָעֵרָב֖וֹן מִיַּ֣ד הָאִשָּׁ֑ה וְלֹ֖א מְצָאָֽהּ 20 And Judah sent a male kid of the she-goats by the hand of his associate, the Adullamite, to receive his surety from the hand of the woman, but he did not find her. 3e 4B 34 5 וַיִּשְׁאַ֞ל אֶת־אַנְשֵׁ֤י מְקֹמָהּ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר אַיֵּ֧ה הַקְּדֵשָׁ֛ה הִ֥וא בָעֵינַ֖יִם עַל־הַדָּ֑רֶךְ וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ לֹא־הָיְתָ֥ה בָזֶ֖ה קְדֵשָֽׁה 21 And he asked everyone of the place, saying, Where is the holy prostitute, she who was visible over the way?And they said, There was no holy prostitute here. 3c 4C 24 11 וַיָּ֙שָׁב֙ אֶל־יְהוּדָ֔ה וַיֹּ֖אמֶר לֹ֣א מְצָאתִ֑יהָ וְגַ֨ם אַנְשֵׁ֤י הַמָּקוֹם֙ אָֽמְר֔וּ לֹא־הָיְתָ֥ה בָזֶ֖ה קְדֵשָֽׁה 22 And he returned to Judah and said, I did not find her, and moreover, everyone of the place says, There was no holy prostitute here. 3e 4C 15 17 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוּדָה֙ תִּֽקַּֽח־לָ֔הּ פֶּ֖ן נִהְיֶ֣ה לָב֑וּז הִנֵּ֤ה שָׁלַ֙חְתִּי֙ הַגְּדִ֣י הַזֶּ֔ה וְאַתָּ֖ה לֹ֥א מְצָאתָֽהּ 23 And Judah said, Let her take for herself lest we be held in contempt. Behold, I send this male kid, but you not did not find her. 3e 4C 14 16 וַיְהִ֣י ׀ כְּמִשְׁלֹ֣שׁ חֳדָשִׁ֗ים וַיֻּגַּ֨ד לִֽיהוּדָ֤ה לֵֽאמֹר֙ זָֽנְתָה֙ תָּמָ֣ר כַּלָּתֶ֔ךָ וְגַ֛ם הִנֵּ֥ה הָרָ֖ה לִזְנוּנִ֑ים וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוּדָ֔ה הוֹצִיא֖וּהָ וְתִשָּׂרֵֽף 24 And it happened in about three months, that it was told to Judah saying, Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot, and moreover, behold, she is pregnant from harlotry. And Judah said, Have her brought forth and let her be incinerated. 3d 4C 33 14 הִ֣וא מוּצֵ֗את וְהִ֨יא שָׁלְחָ֤ה אֶל־חָמִ֙יהָ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לְאִישׁ֙ אֲשֶׁר־אֵ֣לֶּה לּ֔וֹ אָנֹכִ֖י הָרָ֑ה וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ הַכֶּר־נָ֔א לְמִ֞י הַחֹתֶ֧מֶת וְהַפְּתִילִ֛ים וְהַמַּטֶּ֖ה הָאֵֽלֶּה 25 B She was brought forth, and she sent to her husband's father, saying, Of the man whose these are I am pregnant. And she said, Recognize, if you will, whose these are, the seal and the lace and the rod. 3c 4C 25 23 וַיַּכֵּ֣ר יְהוּדָ֗ה וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ צָֽדְקָ֣ה מִמֶּ֔נִּי כִּֽי־עַל־כֵּ֥ן לֹא־נְתַתִּ֖יהָ לְשֵׁלָ֣ה בְנִ֑י וְלֹֽא־יָסַ֥ף ע֖וֹד לְדַעְתָּֽה 26 And Judah recognized and said, She is more righteous than I, for so I had not given her to Shelah my son. And he did not again any longer know her. 3e 4B 27 7 וַיְהִ֖י בְּעֵ֣ת לִדְתָּ֑הּ וְהִנֵּ֥ה תְאוֹמִ֖ים בְּבִטְנָֽהּ 27 And it happened at the time of giving birth, and behold, twins in her belly. 3e 4B 6 9 וַיְהִ֥י בְלִדְתָּ֖הּ וַיִּתֶּן־יָ֑ד וַתִּקַּ֣ח הַמְיַלֶּ֗דֶת וַתִּקְשֹׁ֨ר עַל־יָד֤וֹ שָׁנִי֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר זֶ֖ה יָצָ֥א רִאשֹׁנָֽה 28 And it happened that when she was giving birth, and one gave a hand, and the midwife took and she fastened scarlet on its hand, saying, This one emerged first. 3e 4C 9 23 וַיְהִ֣י ׀ כְּמֵשִׁ֣יב יָד֗וֹ וְהִנֵּה֙ יָצָ֣א אָחִ֔יו וַתֹּ֕אמֶר מַה־פָּרַ֖צְתָּ עָלֶ֣יךָ פָּ֑רֶץ וַיִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ פָּֽרֶץ 29 And it happened as it returned its hand, and behold, its brother emerged, and she said, How you have breached! Upon you a breach, and may his name be acclaimed, Breach [Pharets]. 3e 4B 26 7 וְאַחַר֙ יָצָ֣א אָחִ֔יו אֲשֶׁ֥ר עַל־יָד֖וֹ הַשָּׁנִ֑י וַיִּקְרָ֥א שְׁמ֖וֹ זָֽרַח 30 And afterwards his brother emerged that had on his hand the scarlet, and may his name be acclaimed, Sunrise [Zerax]. 3e 4B 15 7

Proverbs 23

It is a source of manifold misconceptions that [Torah] is customarily translated "Law" ... George F Moore, Judaism in the First Centuries of the Christian Era, cited in William Morrow, An Introduction to Biblical Law. This is to say that when we have read the canonical text itself, even closely, we are only at the beginning of the journey, and we may not even be there. If we have read only in translation or without history or without culture, we may not even be on the field of play, even if we consider ourselves expert. I bring to my work all my prejudice. Perhaps I will grow. Part of my prejudice is in my desire not to read some of the verses of this chapter of Proverbs. Some I like. Some I despise. Some I try to rephrase. Some I leave as obtuse as possible to undermine the readings that were shoved down my throat. The violence against me I knew. The violence I do to others, I may be only vaguely aware of. But though I must follow at times what others have determined is legitimate violence, I cannot justify it. Will the stroke of a cane save a child from Sheol?  JB here has it wrong anyway. The proverb reads in the KJV you will deliver his soul from hell. A preposterous imposition of later prejudice onto the text. How can it be read that some adult can, by beating up a child, deliver its soul? Only G-d delivers anything from Sheol - whatever that is supposed to mean. So how do I deal with this one? First, I recognize that sceptre, that symbol of governance (the shepherd's staff) and belonging, can also be rendered as rod. I have never used it for this gloss. I have used rod / branch both for מטה. So the proverb is about governance of a youth. It is not about corporal punishment. Second, what is the verb? Its form is תכנו. There is no doubt that tradition has this combination of letters as derived from נכה, a doubly weak verb that loses its letters when conjugated, especially when a pronoun followsand a nun gets added for ease of pronunciation. I wonder if I could derive it from כון the hollow verb meaning prepare or establish. I could go against tradition here. Psalms 89 will do as an example where תכן refers to God establishing the heavens. Governance is vital, and avoidance of betrayal an aspect of trust. But what power will yield such a result? Not violence. And even this limited writer eventually resorts to imponderable questions (verse 29). With respect to wine and women, the writer, clearly a male, deals with addiction and self-harm. He gets this part right, but perhaps he does not realize that the advice of verses 13-14 leads directly to this deadly and destructive result of verse 35. Do we? Pascal's wager is in verse 18. Curious, eh?  In this chapter there are 4 tri-cola, 5, 7, 31, 35. We have seen very few in the later chapters of Proverbs. Some to come in chapters 24 and 25 then none till chapter 30.

Proverbs 23 Fn Min Max Syll כִּֽי־תֵ֭שֵׁב לִלְח֣וֹם אֶת־מוֹשֵׁ֑ל בִּ֥ין תָּ֝בִ֗ין אֶת־אֲשֶׁ֥ר לְפָנֶֽיךָ 1 When you sit to partake with a governor, you will discern who is in your presence. 3e 4B 7 10 וְשַׂמְתָּ֣ שַׂכִּ֣ין בְּלֹעֶ֑ךָ אִם־בַּ֖עַל נֶ֣פֶשׁ אָֽתָּה 2 And put imagination in your gasp, if you are the husband of integrity. 3e 4B 9 7 אַל־תִּ֭תְאָו לְמַטְעַמּוֹתָ֑יו וְ֝ה֗וּא לֶ֣חֶם כְּזָבִֽים 3 Do not desire his tasty dishes, for it is the bread of lies. 3e 4B 8 7 אַל־תִּיגַ֥ע לְֽהַעֲשִׁ֑יר מִֽבִּינָתְךָ֥ חֲדָֽל 4 Do not labour to be rich.

For it has made it so. It makes for itself wings, like an eagle that flies the heavens. 3e 4C 11 10 9 אַל־תִּלְחַ֗ם אֶת־לֶ֭חֶם רַ֣ע עָ֑יִן וְאַל־תִּ֝תְאָ֗יו לְמַטְעַמֹּתָֽיו 6 Do not fight the bread of an evil eye, and not do desire its tasty dishes. 3e 4B 9 9 כִּ֤י ׀ כְּמוֹ־שָׁעַ֥ר בְּנַפְשׁ֗וֹ כֶּ֫ן־ה֥וּא אֱכֹ֣ל וּ֭שְׁתֵה יֹ֣אמַר לָ֑ךְ וְ֝לִבּ֗וֹ בַּל־עִמָּֽךְ 7 C For like the gate against itself, so is he. Eat and imbibe, he says to you, but his heart is not with you. 3e 4C 9 7 6 פִּֽתְּךָ־אָכַ֥לְתָּ תְקִיאֶ֑נָּה וְ֝שִׁחַ֗תָּ דְּבָרֶ֥יךָ הַנְּעִימִֽים 8 A fragment you ate?

Proverbs 18

This is more than awkward. The JB and REB make these make sense. It may be that the Proverbs are supposed to teach me more flexibility in my language. But if that, then are my concordance rules nonsense?

These are really perplexing. E.g. verse 1 JB: Who lives by himself follows his own whim, he is angered by advice of any kind. REB: A solitary person pursues his own desires; he quarrels with every sound policy. KJV: Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom. One day, I may return here to this chapter. But this is it for the moment. The problem is keeping the English as terse as the Hebrew. Perhaps it is a style thing...

Proverbs 12

I never thought Proverbs would be fun. So far it is a respite from prose, and a challenge to wit. The human / earthling אדם, (adam) is in view here with its fourfold repetition. The root of the righteous will not be moved, but it will give...
