because I enjoy your explanations: could you tell me about Guan Yu? I only recognize the name from Hades

well you see, at the tail end of the second century ce the last emperor of the han dynasty, unaware that i just called him that, made the rookie mistake of subcontracting defense of the empire to a bunch of warlords. this facilitated the transition of the chinese empire into Warlordland, which around the turn of the third century transitioned into three kingdoms, each ruled by a man who had crowned himself emperor. one of these self-legitimized warlords, liu bei, was supported throughout his early career by a soldier named guan yu, who was by all accounts a skilled general, a talented tactician, a formidable warrior, and very tall. he died in liu bei’s service around 220 ce and was quickly deified into a god of war who remains popular to this day.

this is not the real story.

the real story was created about a millennium layer when some guy named ben, better known as luo guanzhong, lived through the dynastic collapse, Warlordland, and self-legitimization of a warlord that led to the foundation of the ming dynasty. looking around at his surroundings, he said you know what this reminds me of? the second century warlords from my plays. (say what you will about the yuan dynasty, they had a great theater scene.) he then went on to write the romance of the three kingdoms, a vernacular novel dramatizing events from the end of the han dynasty and the three kingdoms period.

he chose cao cao, hitherto generally considered a more or less just and undeniably talented ruler, as his synecdoche for everything cruel and selfish about Warlordland, and to highlight such a strong and significant figure he needed a really well-crafted foil. initially liu bei was that foil, but no matter how you slice it, he did crown himself emperor and therefore cannot achieve the level of intense loyalty necessary to properly contrast cao cao. guan yu could have that level of loyalty. in order to emphasize his argument that treachery is the highest level of loneliness, he has cao cao intensely desire guan yu’s loyalty, which guan yu, of course, categorically cannot give him, resulting in a complex and mostly ahistorical relationship between the two figures that drives the narrative of large swathes of the novel. pretty neat!

Thread: Before we dive in, let’s address a critical issue: There are some people around the world who perceive Jerusalem as an Arab area, including the ICJ, with some even advocating for it to be handed over to the Palestinians as the capital of their prospective terror state. This view overlooks the profound and unbroken Jewish connection to Jerusalem. Let’s review how Jerusalem is intrinsically Jewish and how its history has been hijacked and rewritten.

1/ 🌟 Jerusalem: The Eternal Capital of the Jewish People 🌟

Jerusalem has been the heart and soul of the Jewish people for over 3,500 years. Despite countless challenges and adversities, the Jewish presence in Jerusalem has remained unbroken, underscoring a deep-rooted and unwavering connection to this sacred city. From the days of Joshua and King David to the modern era, Jerusalem has been a constant in Jewish life, culture, and religion, symbolizing the enduring spirit and resilience of the Jewish people.

2/ 🕰️ Ancient Beginnings 🕰️

The history of Jews in Jerusalem dates back to ancient times, even before King David. Joshua, the biblical leader who succeeded Moses, conquered the land of Israel, including Jerusalem, around the 13th century BCE. This marked the beginning of a significant Jewish presence in the city. Later, King David established Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish nation around 1000 BCE. This monumental decision solidified Jerusalem’s status as not just a political center but also a spiritual and cultural heart for Jews. His son, King Solomon, built the First Temple, making Jerusalem the focal point of Jewish worship and pilgrimage. The Temple served as the epicenter of Jewish religious life, drawing Jews from all corners of the land to partake in rituals and festivals, thus embedding Jerusalem deeply in Jewish identity.

3/ 📜 Exile and Return 📜

Even after the destruction of the First Temple by the Babylonians in 586 BCE, the Jewish connection to Jerusalem did not wane. Jews returned to rebuild and renew their bond with the city, demonstrating their resilience and unyielding faith. The completion of the Second Temple in 516 BCE was a significant event, symbolizing a new era of Jewish religious and communal life. Despite subsequent invasions and occupations, the Jewish people continuously sought to restore and maintain their presence in Jerusalem, highlighting their enduring attachment to the city.

4/ 🏛️ Roman Destruction and Diaspora 🏛️

The Roman destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE marked a profound moment of loss for the Jewish people, yet their connection to Jerusalem endured. Even as Jews were scattered across the globe in the ensuing diaspora, Jerusalem remained at the core of Jewish religious life and longing. Daily prayers, rituals, and cultural practices consistently oriented towards Jerusalem, preserving its significance in Jewish consciousness. Throughout centuries of dispersion, Jews always yearned for their return to Jerusalem, keeping the city’s memory alive in their hearts and minds.

5/ 🌍 Medieval and Ottoman Eras🌍

Throughout the Middle Ages and the Ottoman rule, Jewish communities in Jerusalem faced periods of hardship and revival. Despite various conquerors and shifting political landscapes, Jews never abandoned their spiritual and historical ties to the city. During the Ottoman era, from 1517 to 1917, Jewish life in Jerusalem experienced significant changes. The Ottomans, recognizing the historical Jewish connection to the land, allowed Jewish refugees from Spain and other regions to settle in the city. This period saw a revival of Jewish communal life, with the establishment of new synagogues, schools, and community institutions, further cementing the continuous Jewish presence in Jerusalem.

6/ ✡️ The Jewish Quarter ✡️

The Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem has been a vibrant center of Jewish life for centuries, a microcosm of the broader Jewish experience in the city. Its synagogues, schools, and homes are living monuments to the continuous Jewish presence and the community’s resilience in the face of adversity. Over the centuries, despite periods of destruction and renewal, the Jewish Quarter has remained a focal point of Jewish cultural and religious life, embodying the steadfast connection of Jews to their ancient capital.

7/ 🚫 Temple Mount Restrictions 🚫

Today, Jews face restrictions on visiting the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism. Control by Muslim authorities has prevented Jews from freely accessing the area, highlighting ongoing tensions and challenges. The Temple Mount, where the First and Second Temples once stood, remains a profoundly significant site for Jews. However, the complex political and religious dynamics have resulted in limitations on Jewish worship and presence, reflecting broader issues of religious freedom and historical rights.

8/ 🕌 Historical Hijacking 🕌

The Temple Mount, where the First and Second Temples once stood, has been at the center of a significant historical hijacking. Today, many around the world view it primarily as a Muslim site, overshadowing its profound Jewish significance. Despite its deep roots in Jewish history, the site has been rebranded, with many now referring to it exclusively by its Islamic name, Al-Haram Al-Sharif. The reality is that Jerusalem holds a marginal place in Islamic tradition compared to its central role in Judaism. The Quran does not mention Jerusalem, and its association with Islam primarily stems from later historical developments. This rebranding diminishes the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount, a place where Jews have prayed and yearned for thousands of years. The ongoing restrictions on Jewish access and worship at this sacred site underscore the broader struggle for recognition of Jerusalem’s true historical and religious narrative.

9/ 📜 Jewish Presence Through the Ages 📜

Over the last 1,800 years, Jews have consistently lived in Jerusalem and throughout Israel, even under various foreign rulers. For example, in the 9th century, Jewish scholar Saadia Gaon wrote extensively about Jewish life in Jerusalem. In the 11th century, Spanish-Jewish traveler Benjamin of Tudela documented thriving Jewish communities in the city. By the 16th century, under Ottoman rule, Jerusalem saw a revival of Jewish life with the arrival of Jewish refugees from Spain. The 19th century witnessed the establishment of new Jewish neighborhoods outside the Old City walls, symbolizing the growth and resilience of the Jewish population. These examples illustrate that, despite hardships and displacements, Jews have maintained a continuous presence in Jerusalem, contributing to its cultural and religious landscape.

10/ 🕊️ Jerusalem Today 🕊️

Today, Jerusalem stands as a thriving city, embodying the spirit and resilience of the Jewish people. Despite ongoing challenges and political complexities, the eternal bond between Jews and Jerusalem remains unbreakable, reflecting millennia of history, faith, and determination. Jerusalem continues to be a center of Jewish religious, cultural, and political life, symbolizing the unyielding connection of the Jewish people to their ancient capital. The city’s vibrant life and continuous development are testaments to the enduring spirit of the Jewish community and their unwavering commitment to Jerusalem.

📖 Conclusion 📖

Jerusalem is not just a city; it is the heart of Jewish identity and heritage. For 3,500 years, Jews have lived, prayed, and thrived in Jerusalem. Despite numerous challenges and adversities, their connection remains steadfast, a testament to the enduring spirit of the Jewish people. The history of Jerusalem is a story of resilience, faith, and an unbreakable bond that has withstood the test of time. Today, as we honor this profound connection, we also look towards a future where Jerusalem continues to be a symbol of hope, unity, and peace for all who hold it dear.

Of Plymouth Plantation: Brief Summary & History

Of Plymouth Plantation (also known as History of the Plymouth Plantation and William Bradford's Journal, written 1630-1651 CE) is the first-hand account of William Bradford (l. 1590-1657 CE), second governor of the Plymouth Colony (1620-1691 CE) relating the events leading to his congregation of religious separatists (later known as pilgrims) leaving Europe for North America, their voyage aboard the ship Mayflower, and the establishment of the colony in modern-day Massachusetts. Bradford's book is the ultimate source for the term 'pilgrims' as applied to the separatist congregation as he writes of them, "they knew they were pilgrims" in describing their journey of faith to an unknown land (Book I. ch. 7). The work is considered among the most significant of early American literature and history, not only for its artistic and historical value but also its influence on the development of the national character of the United States of America.

Bradford's narrative emphasizes the importance of people of different backgrounds, nationalities, and religious beliefs working together for their collective good but, at the same time, highlights individual accomplishment and how, in a land of unlimited opportunity, one may rise only as high as one's character and determination allow. In concise prose, Bradford narrates the experience of the early colony noting how their commitment to work together with each other and the Native Americans, for the collective good of all, established a community where individual effort was rewarded by benefits, not only for one's self but for all involved.

Although this aspect of the work is far from its focus, the theme of the self-made man creating something from nothing runs throughout and has informed the collective vision of the United States since the book became available to the general public in the 19th century CE. Bradford speaks directly to the reader in an honest voice throughout, emphasizing personal devotion and responsibility to one's God, self, and the greater good, and the determination to succeed in spite of seemingly overwhelming odds.

Persecution & Relocation

Bradford's work begins with the history of the persecution of the religious separatists by the Anglican Church under King James I of England (r. 1603-1625 CE). Although the church had been founded by Henry VIII of England (r. 1509-1547 CE) during the Protestant Reformation in opposition to the Catholic Church, it still retained many aspects of Catholicism which some Protestants, derisively known by Anglicans as “Puritans” because they wished to purify the Church, objected to.

King James I, the same who commissioned the famous King James Translation of the Bible, was the head of the Anglican Church, interpreted this criticism as treason, and authorized officials to fine, arrest, imprison, and even execute dissenters. By age 12, Bradford had read the Geneva Bible, a translation influenced by the theology of the reformer John Calvin (l. 1509-1564 CE), who advocated strict adherence to a literal interpretation of the scriptures which encouraged worship services modeled on the simplicity of the early Christian community. Bradford was further influenced by a religious movement known as Brownism, founded by a former Anglican priest named Robert Browne (l. 1550-1633 CE) who claimed the Church was too corrupt to be purified and the only course for a true believer was to separate one's self from it. Bradford found like-minded Christians in a separatist congregation in the village of Scrooby, close to his hometown of Austerfield, England.

In 1607 CE, the Anglican Church became aware of the Scrooby congregation and arrested some, placing others under surveillance, and fining those they could. The congregation, under the leadership of John Robinson (l. 1576-1628 CE) sold their belongings and relocated to Leiden, the Netherlands, where the government practiced a policy of religious tolerance.

Between 1607-1618 CE, the congregation lived freely in Leiden but could only hold menial jobs and became concerned that their children were losing their English heritage. The English had established the colony of Jamestown in the Virginia Patent of North America in 1607 CE, which, ten years later, was flourishing, and the Leiden congregation were already looking into some means of creating their own colony in Virginia when, in 1618 CE, one of their leading members, William Brewster (l. 1568-1644 CE), published a tract criticizing the Anglican Church and orders were given by the English officials for his arrest. Brewster was hidden by his friends, but the congregation stepped up their efforts to relocate and contracted with Thomas Weston (l. 1584 - c. 1647 CE), who was a merchant adventurer who matched potential colonists with investors. By June of 1620 CE, they had two ships, the Speedwell and the Mayflower, and were ready to begin their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to a new home.

The man who hated La Fayette

I really struggled t find a fitting title for this post because I need you to read this letter! It is absolutely hilarious!

While in exile after the French Revolution and his time in prison, La Fayette and his family settled in Holstein in what was then Denmark on the country mansion Gut Wittmoldt. They were in contact with many of the local aristocracy. One family that was especially influential in that region at that time was the von Reventlow family. Now, I made a post in the past that not all of the von Reventlow’s were the biggest fans of La Fayette – I know Countess Frederike Juliane’s “this man” letter made not only me laugh. But now I found the one letter to rule them all.

Charles Claude d’Angiviller himself a French Émigrés, had settled in Holstein and was in contact with the von Reventlow’s. he even lived at their country estate Gut Emkendorf for some time. In 1798 he wrote a letter to Countess Frederike Juliane about her meeting the Marquis de La Fayette. I had to highlight the best part.

Eh bien! vous avez donc vu le froid, insipide et glacial Heros des deux mondes plus justement intitulé Gille César par le Duc de Choiseul? mot plaisant qui me semble le peindre parfaitement, car il s’est toujours présenté fierement à tous les événements, pour s’y conduire sans talent avec une insolence niaise et en sortir avec honte. Je doute d’ailleurs qu’au delà de la curiosité de la réputation appliquée sur le personage il vous ait infiniment satisfait, car toutes les fois qu’il a été dans le cas de parler, il auroit été au defrons de rien sans l’impudence d’immoralité qui a servi d’eclat à deux ou trois de ses mots, tels que l’insurrection est le plus saint des devoirs. Je crois que sa prison l’a conservé un grand-homme, comme ces fétus que l’on conserve dans l’esprit de vin. Je pense encore que la principale de ses qualités, qualité rare, et bien plus rare qu’on ne croit encore, est une sorte de ténacité et de suite dans la même idée qui fait qu’on veut, et ce qui est plus rare encore: qu’on veut longtems la mesme chose. Au reste ce n’est point une ame libre et indépendante, c’est un ambitieux hipocrite (…).

My translation:

Well then! you have seen the cold, insipid and icy Heros of the Two Worlds, more aptly named Gille César by the Duc de Choiseul? a pleasant word which seems to me to describe him perfectly, for he has always proudly presented himself at all events, only to conduct himself without talent, with foolish insolence and to leave with shame. I doubt, moreover, that beyond the curiosity of the reputation applied to the personage, he has greatly satisfied you, for every time he has been in a position to speak, he would have been a fool if it hadn't been for the impudent immorality of two or three of his words, such as insurrection is the holiest of duties. [d’Angiviller referenced the following quote of La Fayette here: “When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensible of duties.”] I think that his prison kept him a great man, like those fetuses that are preserved in the spirit of wine. I also think that his main quality, a rare quality, and much rarer than we think, is a kind of tenacity and continuity of the same idea that makes one want, and what is rarer still: that one want the same thing for a long time. Besides, he is not a free and independent soul, he is an ambitious hypocrite (...).

I personally lost it at the point where d’Angiviller compared La Fayette with a preserved fetus ... this is an insult even I have not seen before.

But as seething as this letter is, I can not bring myself to completely disagree with d’Angiviller. In fact, I completely agree with him, that La Fayette’s imprisonment almost certainly helped his status and reputation in the long run. This came at an awfully high price, but it did help. Furthermore, d’Angiviller, mentions that La Fayette’s talent was to be persistent, to want the same thing for a very long time. I agree with that as well. Moreso, many of La Fayette contemporaries seemed to agree with this statement. One of my favourite quotes about La Fayette is about him having blinders. French writer, politician and historian François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand, a contemporary of La Fayette and himself an ardent royalist wrote:

M. de Lafayette had one idea only; luckily for him, it was that of the century. The fixity of this idea gave him a kingdom; it served him as a pair of blinders; it stopped him from looking to the right and left; he walked a straight line with a firm step; he went forward without falling into the precipice, not because he could see it, but because he didn’t; blindness served him as genius might have.

While this statement varies greatly form d’Angiviller letter, I find it interesting to see that still the same idea, the same in perception in different statement, made by people with differing opinions about the same person.

2024 CE Incident Report

Background

There was a whole damn calendar year where things happened, what the hell.

Impact

The stated goals for 2024 CE were, in order:

lol I have ADHD

and I didn’t write them down

fuck me I have no idea

Good job me! But I did start to explore polyamory, at the suggestion and encouragement of my lovely wife, which has led me to amazing partners, greater fulfillment in my life, and made my wife and I even closer than before! (If you don't know: that's close).

And I joined this hellsite, which has surprisingly been a good call. I've met more trans people here than anywhere else!

Going Forward

Screw looking back. Time is an illusion. What will happen has happened. In 2025 CE I will have already completed the following goals:

Take more lewd pictures and videos. I really enjoy showing off for people!

Stop being so defensive and cagey about being an enthusiastic sub! I’m still a switch, I still love to give some girls what they so desperately need, but it’s time to lean in to being a submissive little slut instead of mildly ashamed of it.

Get involved in my local queer scene more. There’s events happening literally blocks from me. Social anxiety can choke on it, I'm going.

Check out the local BDSM scene. One of my partners has a Mistress, and I’m not sure if that’s something I want but it's a thought I can't seem to put down. So, guess it's time for some exploration!

Continue my polyamory journey. There’s still a lot of mono stuff (jealousy chiefly, but there's a bunch of others) for me to fully unlearn, and it’s not always easy, but it’s something I want to put real effort into.

There's some other tech and career related stuff, but those are the important highlights.

This ends the 2024 CE Incident Report. Please consider the incident closed, and email your Zone's Tech Director with any questions.

Welcome to the 6th installment of 15 Weeks of Phantom, where I post all 68 sections of Le Fantôme de l’Opéra, as they were first printed in Le Gaulois newspaper 115 yeas ago.

In today’s installment, we have Part III of Chapter 2: “La Marguerite Nouvelle” (“The New Marguerite”), as well as Part I of Chapter 3: “Où pour la première fois, MM. Debienne et Poligny donnent, en secret, aux nouveaux directeurs de l’Opéra, MM. Armand Monchardin et Firmin Richard, la véritable et mystérieuse raison de leur départ de l’Académie nationale de musique” (“Where for the First Time, MM. Debienne and Poligny Secretly Give the New Managers of the Opera, MM. Armand Moncharmin and Firmin Richard, the True and Mysterious Reason for Their Departure from the National Academy of Music”).

This section was first printed on Thursday, 30 September 1909.

For anyone following along in David Coward's translation of the First Edition of Phantom of the Opera (either in paperback, or Kindle, or from another vendor -- the ISBN-13 is: 978-0199694570), the text starts at Christine's line, “Perhaps when I'm feeling a little better, if that's all right with you” in Chapter 2 and goes to, “In choosing the ideal valedictory programme they had been advised by everybody who was someone in the world of society and the arts who had now foregathered in the foyer of the corps de ballet” in Chapter 3.

In this section, there are some significant differences between the standard First Edition text and the Gaulois text. This includes several paragraphs' worth of description of why the old managers decided to leave the Opéra. There are some other minor but important passages in the Gaulois text that were omitted from the First Edition, which paint a fuller picture of the events in question:

1) In the Gaulois text, Christine has an extra line in Chapter 2: « Je vous remercie, docteur !… J’ai besoin de rester seule… Allez-vous-en tous ! je vous en prie… laissez-moi… Je suis très nerveuse ce soir… il ne faut pas me contrarier.»

Translation:

"I thank you, doctor!... I need to be alone... All of you go! I beg you ... leave me... I am quite on edge this evening ... you mustn’t argue with me."

2) In this Gaulois text, the following paragraph was added after Erik's line, “The angels wept tonight.” This added paragraph contributes to Leroux's pseudo-journalistic style, and also lets us know how Leroux's narrator found out about what Erik said to Christine after the gala — the conversation was part of what Raoul reported to Faure, the examining magistrate:

— Ton âme est bien belle, mon enfant, reprit la voix grave d'homme et je te remercie. Il n'y a point d'empereur qui ait reçu un pareil cadeau! Les anges ont pleuré ce soir. »

Ces phrases bizarres ont été plus tard rapportées textuellement à M. le juge d'instruction Faure par celui qui les entendit et je ne fais ici que transcrire les feuillets d'un interrogatoire judiciaire qui a été publié, lors de l'affaire de Chagny, dans toute la presse et dont j'ai trouvé une coupure du reste dans les papiers du Persan.

Translation:

“Your soul is very beautiful, my child,” replied the man’s deep voice, “and I thank you. No emperor has ever received such a gift! The angels wept tonight.”

This strange conversation was later related verbatim to the examining magistrate, M. Faure, by he who heard it, and here I have only transcribed the pages of a judicial examination which was published in all the newspapers at the time of the Chagny case, and of which moreover I found a clipping amongst the Persian's documents.

3) The Gaulois text contains the paragraph highlighted in red above, which was omitted from the First Edition. This paragraph describes some of the failures of the previous management run by Debienne and Poligny, which Erik learned about and used to blackmail M. Poligny into giving him 20,000 francs per month. This passage emphasizes that Debienne and Poligny had decided to quit their jobs as managers not only because Erik had made their lives untenable, but also because there had been a public scandal. Long story short, they were cooking the books. Erik happened to know more about this scandal than what was published in the papers, and so rather than risk him getting them into even more trouble, they gave into his blackmail, and then soon after decided to leave the Opéra altogether. I have provided a translation of this paragraph below:

Paris had not forgotten what these two men had done for it during several difficult years where it was not enough to give one's toil and life to a work for it to succeed, but where it was above all necessary, in a time which still suffered from all the hardships of the war, to make the greatest of sacrifices — that of money. On that occasion, M. Debienne showed himself to be so generous with his own fortune, and M. Poligny so profligate with that of others, that for several years the public could be deceived about the prosperity of that noble enterprise. Soon, unpleasant rumors circulated about the wisdom of an administration which, having been as extravagant as it was artistic, found it all the more difficult to make ends meet, as we still say in our vulgar speech. In high quarters, people were shocked; the government found cause to become alarmed, and the Government Commissioner had the audacity and imprudence — encouraged as he was by the Under Secretary of State for Fine Arts — to allude to a situation close to the Managers which was in short in no way desperate, thus regrettable words were exchanged, which made relations difficult between the offices of the National Academy and the Ministry. Each side made life miserable for the other, the "ladies" began to meddle in the affair, and life became intolerable. And above all, because of the substantial commitments made at the beginning of the administration, money became tight. The daily political newspapers became hostile and, making unflattering comparisons, never missed an opportunity to pine for the renowned previous management. In spite of the comforts which were otherwise lavished upon them, MM. Debienne and Poligny were quite disheartened when the flop of the ballet, Endymion, for which they had nevertheless made the greatest of sacrifices, appeared to make them beg for mercy. In fact, three months later, they relinquished their privileges and gave up their place to two figures friendly to the powers that be, MM. Armand Moncharmin and Firmin Richard.

Medjoola Date Day

Medjool Date Day takes place on February 4 yearly and serves the purpose of highlighting the benefits of the Medjool dates. Originally a Middle-Eastern fruit, Medjool dates made their way to the U.S in the 18th century, and since then, they have reigned in the hearts of the people. With a hint of caramel flavor, the dates are sweet, delicious, and one of the healthiest snacks on the market nowadays. They are also great for energy and can do wonders for people who are trying to cut down on the consumption of artificial sugar.

History of Medjoola Date Day

Medjool dates, like many other delicious fruits, have existed in this world for centuries. Though dates can be traced back to around 5000 to 6000 B.C., it took some time to reach different parts of the world. This was only possible with the technological evolution in transport, as the fruit was transported to different regions of the world. The Medjool dates, originally from Morocco, were brought to Nevada in 1927. From there, the plantation grew in abundance. Today, it is one of two date varieties grown in the U.S. And yes – people are really fond of this fruit.

Medjool dates were introduced into America by Walter Swingle in the 20th century. Swingle was assigned by the U.S government to identify some exotic crops around the globe, and after the researcher discovered dates, he transported them to America. During that time, however, not many were familiar with dates. This was, after all, a fruit they hadn’t heard of before. But as globalization happened and different cultures were brought to the forefront, people came to recognize dates for the delicious fruit they are. One of the main events that added to the popularity of dates in America was the annual date festival that started in 1921.

Today, dates are eaten by people of all ages, for their delicious taste as well as the numerous health benefits linked to them. A 2021 study reveals that Medjool dates are a good source of phenolic compounds.

I enjoy your blog a lot! I haven't submitted anything (yet) but I've read some of the highlighted stories. Not many, to be honest, because some are very niche/fandoms I never heard of and I'm a basic bitch (pardon my English) when it comes to fanfic. And I think it's okay that it's slow sometimes. I hope you don't get discouraged because of it. I love seeing the submissions, even if I don't know the fandoms. I love that the stories are broadcasted and have the potential to be found this way :) thank you!

Thank you for your message!

I get the niche fandom bit, I’m also someone who only likes reading in fandoms I know and don’t like reading about pairings I don’t ship. Do consider submitting something for your fandoms and ships anyways, maybe that will open the door for more people to come in who like the same things as you.

To be honest sometimes I do get a little discouraged. I make posts about events, about plans or just asking for submissions and I get maybe a handful of likes. Then I reblog a post about how important feedback is from someone else and suddenly there are quite a few likes and reblogs and I think, we’ll people are obviously seeing my posts, they’re just not interacting with the CE specific ones. Which I totally get, I’m mostly a lurker too, but sometimes it’s still discouraging.

[ziracona]

Gotcha, thanks for the clarity. And yeah I want to see him too! He was done so dirty in 2022's anniversary, I'm still salty about that since Shimaudon drew an amazing new art of him for the CE. If we ever get a sequel to SW2 or some kind of followup to that mysterious redhead cowgirl we'll hopefully see him again. I always had hopes of seeing him as a summer character too, swapping his pistol for water guns just seems so obivous.

He was definitely great in LB1, loved how he broke Kadoc like that. Are there any other Billy highlights in your opinion as a NA player?

Yeah WHY didn’t he get a cosmetic??? I’d buy that outfit in a heartbeat. Tbh Type Moon is failing to count on how much fgo players would be willing to offer money in exchange for playing Ultimate Dress Up with characters we like to make them happy.

Frfr he at least deserves a Gunner spirit origin summonable! My boy…

His introduction and death were both 10/10 in E Pluribus imo, and I loved his whole relationship with Robin and Geronimo/as part of Outlaw Trio. His valentines event is sweet. I love that all the girls give Ritsuka chocolate and the boys are like “CRAP?? What do girls like??? Uh, WEAPONS, right!??” Got a Glock four swords ammo a bow a staff a bomb a familiar an assassin fan knives a how-to book on evil and a full kitchen set for Valentine’s Day. Billy’s Silver Bullet in case Ritsuka is ever alone fighting a monster, as a practical lucky charm, was really sweet. And I loved the 2022 callback to that with his CE necklace.

Was Aisha (RA) killed? Is there any hadith which mentions this?

Aisha (RA), the wife of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), passed away on 17th Ramadan, 58 AH (678 CE). The majority of historical sources agree that she died a natural death, likely due to illness or old age.

There is no authentic Hadith that suggests Aisha (RA) was killed. In fact, most Hadith collections, including Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, mention her death as a natural occurrence.

One Hadith narrated by Urwa ibn al-Zubayr in Sahih Bukhari (Volume 5, Book 57, Number 111) mentions Aisha's death:

"Aisha died at my house, and I washed and shrouded her. The Prophet (PBUH) used to say, 'Wash and shroud your dead, and do not perfume them.'"

This Hadith highlights the respect and care shown to Aisha (RA) after her passing, but does not indicate foul play or violence.

It's essential to rely on authentic sources and avoid speculations or unverified claims when exploring historical events.

Why Isn't There A Monarch In Israel? "& No To Free Elections, Selah!" I Had a Dream ...

I had a dream. Let me share it with you. Israel, a nation with a profound biblical history and a prophetic tradition centered on kingship, stands out for its lack of a monarch in modern times. Despite a rich monarchical past and a well-documented Davidic lineage, Israel operates as a parliamentary democracy. The question of why there is no king today is complex, involving historical, political, and cultural dynamics, with a subtle irony in the notion of rejecting “no to free elections.” The enduring documentation of the Davidic line—unbroken through centuries—further enriches this discussion, while modern electoral challenges and perceptions of Benjamin Netanyahu as a near-divine ruler add contemporary layers to the absence of a monarchy.

A Monarchical Past Rooted in Scripture

Israel’s monarchical era began with Saul, anointed around 1020 BCE, followed by David, whose dynasty became the bedrock of Jewish messianic hope. The Davidic covenant in 2 Samuel 7 promised an eternal throne: “Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me.” This line is meticulously documented through biblical texts, rabbinic sources, and genealogical records preserved by Jewish communities. Unlike many ancient dynasties, the descendants of David—through figures like Zerubbabel and later rabbinic families—have been traced with care, ensuring the line hath never been broken. After Solomon, the kingdom split into Judah and Israel, with the Davidic line ruling Judah until the Babylonian exile in 586 BCE. The fall of Jerusalem ended independent Jewish kingship, with Zedekiah as the last Davidic king, yet the hope for a restored monarchy persisted through prophetic visions (Isaiah 11:1, Jeremiah 23:5).

The Absence of a Modern Monarchy

Several factors explain why Israel lacks a monarch today:

Historical Disruptions: The Babylonian exile marked the end of Jewish sovereignty, followed by Persian, Greek, Roman, and later Islamic and Ottoman rule. The Hasmonean dynasty (140–37 BCE) briefly revived Jewish kingship, but it was not Davidic, and Herod’s Roman-backed rule lacked legitimacy. By the Second Temple’s destruction in 70 CE, diaspora conditions made monarchy impractical.

Rabbinic and Messianic Shifts: Post-exile, Jewish leadership shifted to rabbinic and communal structures. The Sanhedrin and rabbinic authorities prioritized Torah study over political kingship, while messianic hopes for a Davidic king became eschatological, tied to divine intervention rather than human efforts.

Modern Political Realities: In 1948, Israel adopted a parliamentary democracy, aligning with 20th-century democratic ideals. The Zionist movement favored egalitarian governance over monarchy, which was seen as outdated. The quip “no to free elections” carries irony: Israel’s democracy wasn’t a rejection of elections but a pragmatic choice to unify a diverse society, avoiding theocratic or authoritarian risks.

Cultural and Religious Sensitivities: Restoring a monarchy, even with a documented Davidic claimant, is fraught with challenges. The Davidic line includes multiple branches, complicating the selection of an heir. Many Orthodox Jews view monarchy restoration as a messianic event, while secular Israelis prioritize democracy.

The Struggles of Modern Elections

Israel’s democratic system, while robust, has faced significant challenges that highlight its limitations. Frequent elections—five between 2019 and 2022—reflect deep political polarization, with coalitions often collapsing over ideological divides between secular and religious factions, left and right, and Jewish and Arab interests. This instability has led to governance gridlock, with no single party able to secure a lasting mandate. Critics argue that the parliamentary system, reliant on fragile coalitions, fails to provide the decisive leadership a monarch might offer. The constant electoral churn fuels public frustration, as short-term politicking overshadows long-term vision. In this context, the absence of a unifying figure like a king underscores the democratic system’s struggle to bridge Israel’s diverse and fractious society, raising questions about whether a symbolic monarch could stabilize the nation’s identity.

Netanyahu as a Godhead Figure

Amid these electoral woes, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, has emerged as a polarizing yet quasi-divine figure for some. His supporters, particularly in right-wing and religious circles, view him as a near-messianic leader, uniquely capable of navigating Israel’s security challenges and global standing. This perception stems from his longevity (over 16 years in office), rhetorical prowess, and ability to maintain power despite legal and political controversies. To his base, Netanyahu embodies a godhead-like authority, a modern “king” whose dominance transcends electoral volatility. Critics, however, see this as a cult of personality, arguing that his centralized control undermines democratic checks and balances. The irony is stark: while Israel lacks a formal monarch, Netanyahu’s enduring grip on power mirrors the singular authority of a king, yet without the Davidic or divine mandate. This dynamic complicates any push for a true monarchy, as his presence fills a symbolic void for some while alienating others.

The Davidic Line: A Living Legacy

The Davidic line’s continuity is remarkable, preserved through texts like Chronicles, the Talmud, and medieval works like Seder Olam Zutta. Modern efforts, such as the Davidic Dynasty project, identify living descendants in Israel and the diaspora. Yet, no serious movement advocates for a king, reflecting the tension between historical reverence and practical governance. The line remains a symbol of hope, not a political reality.

Irony in the Democratic Choice

The phrase “no to free elections” encapsulates the irony of Israel’s path. A monarchy would bypass elections, yet Israel’s democracy was chosen to foster unity, not suppress freedom. The absence of a monarch reflects a pragmatic embrace of modern governance over a potentially divisive revival of kingship. Netanyahu’s godhead-like status further muddies the waters, offering a pseudo-monarchical figure within a democratic framework.

Conclusion

Israel’s lack of a monarch results from historical exile, religious evolution, and democratic ideals. The Davidic line, unbroken and documented, remains a potent symbol, yet its restoration is deferred to a messianic future. Modern elections, plagued by instability, highlight democracy’s challenges, while Netanyahu’s near-divine status fills a monarchical void for some, complicating the landscape. The ironic “no to free elections” slogan would underscore Israel’s choice of democracy over monarchy—not out of disdain for its royal past, but as a practical response to its complex present. Until prophecy or consensus dictates otherwise, Israel’s throne remains vacant, its royal legacy preserved in lineage and memory.

I had a dream that everyone took to the streets and chanted "No To Free Elections, Selah" and wanted a monarch in Israel. Then I woke up to the realities of modern Israel and understood why it's a parlimentary democracy that has had five fragile elections between 2019 and 2022 and wrote this article.
