Beaches (1988). A privileged rich debutante and a cynical struggling entertainer share a turbulent, but strong childhood friendship over the years.

Movies about female friendships, my beloved! Movies about WOMEN, my beloved!!! This is a pretty special film, even if it wears its melodrama badge as proudly as wears it's Bette Midler showcase vehicle badge. It's funny, heartfelt, full of great music and some compelling performances, particularly from Barbara Hershey. Just - - so great. 8/10.

Have You Ever Heart the Story of the FIRST White Christmas?

Renowned for their stop-animation classics, Rankin/Bass released "The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow" in 1975. The story narrates a blind shepherd boy who aspires for a white Christmas, and his friendship with a girl named Louisa.

By the end of 1974, Rankin/Bass 17 TV specials in the span of 10 years; 7 of which were geared toward Christmas. Many of these specials becoming stop motion animated classics. Instead of resting on the reruns of beloved classics like “Frosty the Snow Man” and “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,” Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass release “The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow,”…

[the-vampire-lance]

“Nice to meet you Mr. Keith!” The little girl beaned at him.

As they were walking back to lance and her father, iris piped up “what’s your favorite pokemon? Mine is a skitty!”

Meanwhile Lance was conversing with the dad. The dad introduced himself telling Lance his name was Rainer.

“My wife is a police officer. When they transferred her here to vailstone, we had to pack up and move with her. Iris wasn’t happy about having to leave all her friends behind. But she knows her mom has a very important job.”

Lance nodded. “Yeah moving around can be tough. When Keith and I left our home, I got the worst case of homesickness. What’s your wife’s name anyway?”

“Jenny”

Lance held back a snort. “You married an officer Jenny? How do you even tell her apart from all the other officer Jennys?”

“Lol you know that is a really good question. And I gotta tell you, when I first dated her, I had a hell of a time telling her apart from the others. One time I accidentally took the wrong Jenny out to dinner and Jenny thought I was cheating on her with her cousin.”

They both laughed. “Omg how did you get out of trouble with that mix up?”

“Fortunately all Jenny’s understand the whole look alike confusion thing and she forgave me. She even got to helping me figure out how to tell them all apart. Which btw, is a bit easy once you know the very small details about each Jenny.

My wife, she has a tiny mole under her left eye. Her cousin has a mole under her right eye. Her second cousin twice removed has a growlith tattoo on her right arm that you can only see if she rolls up her sleeve. Her third cousin three times removed has a scar she got from a zubat on her right shoulder. Her other second cousin likes to wear blue lipstick and blue eyeliner and eye shadow.”

Lance was stunned. For the longest time he had always wondered how anyone ever tells officer jennys and nurse joys apart. Looks like the whole theory about them secretly being dittos is debunked.

Keith ran, jumped and landed, just like they practiced. Then he waited for the rock tomb to form and finish.

When Keith landed on the ground, Lance tapped his foot and sent the transmutation to shoot up in front of Keith and form pillars that folded together into a rock tomb.

˚ʚ♡ Hypnos & the Erotes ♡ɞ˚

I'm sure you're all familar with Hypnos and the Erotes, respectively. But it's not as common to hear about them working together. Although, it is quite logical when you put some thought to it;  "Sleep and Love, after all, are activities that both have the bed in common." - Sleep and Death

Unfortunately, most of what we know about Hypnos' association with love and the Erotes comes from Nonnus.

"Nonnus (flourished 5th century ad, b. Panopolis, Egypt) was the most notable Greek epic poet of the Roman period. His chief work is the Dionysiaca, a hexameter poem in 48 books" - Britannica

Here are a few quotes from 'Nonnus, Dionysiaca' [theoi.com]

Nonnus, Dionysiaca 31. 103 ff : ". . . Then Hypnos as one obeying a mother started up, and swore to charm the eyes of unresting Zeus even until the third dawn should come; but Iris begged him to fasten Kronion (Cronion) with slumber for the course of one day only. There Hypnos remained, awaiting the happy season of marriage. Then goddess Iris returned flying at speed and hastened to deliver her welcome message to her queen."

Nonnus, Dionysiaca 32. 95 ff : ". . . [and after their lovemaking] Hypnos (Sleep) the servant of the Erotes (Loves) had charmed the eyes of Zeus . . . Zeus slept delicately charmed among the flowers, holding his wife in his arms on that bed unseen."

Nonnus, Dionysiaca 42. 336 ff : "He [Dionysos in love] sorrowfully prayed to Hypnos (Sleep) and Eros (Love) and Aphrodite of the Evening [the star Venus], all at once, to let him see the same vision [of his love] once more, longing for the deceptive phantom of an embrace."

Nonnus, Dionysiaca 47. 345 ff : "[Ariadne laments her fate after being abandoned in her sleep by Theseus on Naxos :] ‘Give me again, Hypnos (Sleep), your empty boon, so pleasant; send me another delectable dream like that, so that I may know the sweet bed of love in a deceptive dream! Only linger upon my eyes, that I may know the unreal passion of married love in a dream!’"

Nonnus, Dionysiaca 48. 264 ff : "The maiden [the virgin Aura] awoke . . . [and] bold Hypnos (Sleep) she reproached more than all and threatening the Oneiros (Dream) [i.e. for sending her a prophetic dream in which she loses her virginity to Dionysos]."

! CW : rape ! Nonnus, Dionysiaca 48. 621 ff : "Iobakkhos (Iobacchus) [Dionysos] seeing her [Aura asleep] on the bare earth, plucking the Lethaean (Forgetful) feather of bridal Hypnos (Sleep), he crept up noiseless, unshod, on tiptoe, and approached Aura where she lay without voice or hearing. With gentle hand he put away the girl's neat quiver and hid the bow in a hole in the rock, that she might not shake off Hypnos' (Sleep's) wing and shoot him . . . On the ground that hapless girl heavy with wine, unmoving, was wedded to Dionysos; Hypnos (Sleep) embraced the body of Aura with overshadowing wings, and he was marshal of the wedding for Bakkhos (Bacchus), for he also had experience of love, he is yokefellow of Selene (the Moon), he is companion of the Erotes (Loves) in nightly caresses."

And some non-Nonnus ones

Greek Lyric V Anonymous, Fragment 929g (Rainer papyrus) (trans. Campbell) : "Soft-eyed Hypnos (Sleep) came, embracing all his limbs, as a mother on seeing her dear son after a long absence folds him with her wings to her loving breast."

Licymnius, Fragment 771 (from Athenaeus, Scholars at Dinner) (trans. Campbell, Vol. Greek Lyric V) (Greek lyric C4th B.C.) : "[Endymion was a handsome youth loved by the moon-goddess Selene. He was granted immortality in a state of eternal slumber :] Likymnios of Khios (Licymnius of Chios) says the Hypnos (Sleep) loves Endymion and does not close they eyes of his beloved boy even while he is asleep, but lulls him to rest with eyes wide open so that he may without interruption enjoy the pleasure of gazing at them. His words are ‘And Hypnos (Sleep), rejoicing in the rays of his eyes, would lull the boy to rest with eyes wide open.’"

^^ I understand that this one can simply be interpreted as one of his 'love stories' as most of the Theoi have them. However I thought it nice that it was said that He loved Endymion so much that He (Sleep) stayed with him forever; being forever in slumber.

Cult images depicting Him with the Mousai (Muses) and Aphrodite

Pausanias, Description of Greece 2. 31. 3 : "Not far from the Mousai's (Muses') hall [at Troizenos (Troezen) in Argolis] is an old altar, which also, according to report, was dedicated by Ardalos. Upon it they sacrifice to the Mousai and to Hypnos (Sleep), saying that Hypnos is the god that is dearest to the Mousai."

Pausanias, Description of Greece 2. 31. 5 : "[At Troizenos (Troezen) in Argolis there is] an ancient altar . . . they sacrifice on it to Hypnos (Sleep) and the Mousai (Muses); who they say are particular friends."

Pausanias, Description of Greece 3. 18. 1 : "[Beside the temple of Athena of the Bronze House in Sparta :] Near the statues of Pausanias is an image of Aphrodite Ambologera (Postponer of Old Age), which was set up in accordance with an oracle; there are also images of Hypnos (Sleep) and of Thanatos (Death). They think them brothers, in accordance with the verses in the Iliad."

Little other bits!

Hypnos is married to Pasithea, one of the Charites, which slightly solidifies his association with 'love-like', good feelings; as the Charites presided over "grace, beauty, adornment, joy, mirth, festivity, dance and song."

His role in the myth of Endymion in which, depending on the version, was in love with Endymion himself or acted as a 'wing-man' for Selene in a way. <- linked a previous post of mine about the variations of the myth!

And yes, at the end there I did include his (more well-known) affiliation with the Mousai; I did this because, although not romantic (with exception for Erato), the Mousai can represent to some extent the love we feel for ourselves, for friends, the passion of a new hobby, the love of happiness, and really just a love for life. Since the Greeks didn't view love as a catch-all-term and had specific names for each type of love, I though it was fitting to also include his beloved friends, the Mousai.

Although we have little information on Hypnos' depiction as an Erote / companion to the Erotes. We can make the connection that the role of sleep and the role of love have much in common.

The bedroom, a holy place for sleep and love. Where intimacy and dreams mingle together. Dreaming about your lover, or of a friend (philia). Waking up next to someone, their arms around you as you remember the previous night (doesn't have to be sex, you could have just embraced each other in your sleep). Winding down after a long day by laying down and reading in bed, your partner joining you, just laying in silence. The giggles of a sleepover. The comfort of your pet snuggling up next to you. The solace you feel when your head hits the pillow, loving yourself and treating you to an early sleep. Anything!

Do I personally regard Hypnos as a love god? Yes and no. My perspective lies within the wording of it; and since this is purely my opinion, I will label this next part as !UPG! Okay, so. I think it would be wrong to say that Hypnos is a 'love god' or a 'god of love', because he is not, he's the god and daimon of sleep; with dreams, altered consciousness, and relaxation / wellbeings being under this domain as well - notice, love is not listed. However, would I ever reach out to Lord Hypnos concerning love? Personally, yes. I don't believe love to ultimately fall under his domains, but he can assist. I sometimes call him an 'assistant to Aphrodite' [or an 'assistant to love'], because that is how I personally view his role regarding love, assisting. To put it into a lil metaphor; Think of Aphrodite as a full-time, dedicated, expert-in-the-field person for Love - and Hypnos as a Casual-worker, called in when needed, knows how to work in the department but doesn't specialise there. Does that make sense? It does to me. Either way, this paragraph was just my personal view on it, if yours doesn't match mine that is totally fine. This aspect of Hypnos is nuanced and gives a huge allowance for UPG.

Anyway, let me know if I missed anything or you'd like to share your own interpretation of Hypnos' love aspect! I'd love to hear them! [heh]

May Hypnos bless you, and sweet dreams ♡

SCP-049

[Idk speech. For fun]

A peculiar Medieval plague doctor, contained within the multitudinous of chambers in Site-19. This doctor doesn't have a degree and may even use leeches as a cure or just turn you into a patient zombie. The doctor, however, in spite of this, is driven in its goal to make a difference to the world. It's difference it strives for is to rid our world of the pestilence! What the pestilence is remains a mystery to the Foundation.. and us included.

SCP-105

Photos have: 5282, 529, 2599, 999, 073, 131, 166, 2295, 076, 1048, 4051, and a random sunset/sunrise that's not Daybreak

(Another speech for fun).

Iris Thompson SCP-105. A female humanoid contained within Site-17. An anomaly thats abilities reflects its passionate hobby. This anomalous photographer can manipulate the photographs taken with its also anomalous personal camera, classified SCP-105-B. 105-B preforms its anomalous effects greater than other cameras. Just like how 105 can gasp within its photos contents, we as a Foundation grasp at its potential to serve a greater purpose than it sitting away in a box all its life as long as its animate. We can hope for its compliance to the Foundation's flaws goals to further help our objectives to serve the light of humanity.

SCP-4051

Rainer Miller SCP-4051. A male humanoid contained within Site-17's fortified walls. While it demonstrates a compliant and kind demeanor, its still an object none the less. Like how its a helpful object to the Foundation as a whole, it's anomalous capabilities centers at its ability to manifest objects from the portals it manifests. Sadly limited to how acknowledged on the items it produces. Although the objects themselves come out small from the same small portals it creates, it has huge possibilities. Have it patch the facility, make important items such as our precious, resourceful, but costly amnestics. Cut off the prices as we do 4051's social ties with its family. We pride ourselves off our "hospitality" and look forward to its continued loyalty.

Now as its in its chamber, laying in its bed with comic in hand, eyes focused in it as time approaches to testing time. How long would the somewhat good times last before traversing into much worse terrain.

4051 dressed as Miku. His portals are the hair accessories and manifest the ponytails. Miku's 01 is replaced with his scp destination

Have a Shiny and Hap Hap Happy New Year

"Rudolph’s Shiny New Year" (1976), the sequel to "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer," is admired for its originality, superb animation, and engaging music.

Typically, I save this one for New Year’s Eve, but for YOU, I will watch this a few weeks early. “Rudolph’s Shiny New Year,” (1976) the sequel to “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer,” is one of my favorites. Where I didn’t care much for the first TV movie growing up, I was always excited to watch this one. I’ve said that “The Year Without a Santa Claus” was my second favorite Rankin/Bass Christmas…

البقية كتب قانون وفلسفة وسياسة وتاريخ ما بعرف لو عندك اهتمام فيهن ودواوين شعرية وروايات وأدلة طبخ

كان عندي رغبة شديدة اني استعير بعض الكتب بسبب إنه ذوقها مشابه لذوقي

وثانيا القراءة من بعد سارة تجربة فريدة من نوعها لأنها بتترك ملاحظات بلغتها الخاصة بس والدتها ما سمحتلي إلا إني أقرأ بالبيت لتحافظ على مكتبتها

عندي كتب تانية بتحبها وعربية أكثر وبعض منها مذكرات بس لما اتذكر وين محتفظة فيهم ان شاء الله
