'We Were Born For This' Birthday's
Some more Info for 'We Were Born For This'!
January 2nd- Claudia (Canon)
March 13th- Desmond (Canon) 19th- Mario (Canon)
April 7th- Maria (fan-made) 15th Leonardo (Canon)
May 3rd- Giovanni (Canon)
June 24th- Ezio (Canon)
August 26th- Federico (fan-made)
October 30th- Clay (fan-made)
December 25th- Petruccio (fan-made)
Explanations for fan-made birthdays!
Maria- Not too sure why I picked this date for Maria, honestly, but after I looked up Leonardo's birthday for the fic and saw how close I had made her b-day to Leo's, I couldn't change it. I figured Maria would be ecstatic that her b-day was so close to her new favorite artist's.
Federico- This was kind of based on Federico's clothes. He wears warm colors and lets his shirt gape open, so I picked a summer month that would kind of include the way he left his shirt open, but more towards the end of the summer to hint at the changing colors of the leaves. It made sense when I picked it a few months ago, can't really remember my reasoning now lol.
Clay- This was real simple. 10/30 is the day Clay's digital body died, and it's just like Ubisoft to reuse characters' death days as other characters ' birthdays.
Petruccio- I just wanted Petruccio to be a Christmas baby. Also, take into account that canonically he dies on 12/29, then he would have turned 13 literally 4 days before he died.
Now, take into account the canon b-day's, that means in WWBFT I ignored Petruccio, Claudia, and Mario's b-days. Petruccio and Claudia could have been excused with them just getting to Monteriggioni and all the stress that has just happened, but Desmond's b-day was celebrated and Mario's was literally 5 days later and I didn't even mention it.
Priorities.
Current Ages!
Desmond- 20 (Though technically he celebrated his b-day months early because of time travel bs)
Clay- 24
Ezio- 17 (will have a b-day in the fic)
Federico- 20 (will have a b-day in the fic)
Claudia- 16 (Birthday wasn't mentioned)
Petruccio- 13 (Birthday wasn't mentioned)
Giovanni- 40 (will have a b-day in the fic)
Maria- 44 (will have a b-day in the fic)
Mario- 43 (Birthday wasn't mentioned)
Leonardo- 24 (will have a b-day in the fic)
(Also, wow, never realized Maria was older than Giovanni. And Mario.)

Editor’s Choice:
In honor of the anniversary of War Crimes, we bring you fics centered around or referencing this episode!
out, out damned spot by jazzjo | Rated G | Abbey Bartlet/Jed Bartlet | Complete | She had sworn to do no harm, and had meant it.
or,
Abbey tries to cope with the witchhunt and her own mistakes.
Oversight by thefinestmuffins for BeneathAnOrangeSky | Rated E | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | Donna watches, hands sunk deep in her coat pockets, as Josh trots back over to Cliff.
Moon glow intersects with street lamp to back-light the fountain, lending it a strange halo. Beyond it, all she can really grasp are two hazy silhouettes, both coiled with tension, paused there in the gloom of the night park for longer than she expects.
Her own pulse thrums, rabbity, in her fingers, and her guts sink at the prospect of her innermost thoughts being read out before a court or before Congress, let alone before an entire nation.
A gust of wind tosses her hair into her eyes, and she pulls her trench coat tighter around herself as she waits.
Josh was right — it is getting colder — but that’s not why she shivers.
Prompt: War Crimes angst + hooking up
Immolatio by hufflepuffhermione | Rated M | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | When Cliff threatens to indict Donna for perjury, Josh puts himself on the line to save her from criminal charges. His choice has significant consequences professionally and personally; a media circus and a Congressional investigation are the least of his troubles when his actions might cause him to lose Donna anyway.
Circadian Rhythms by Luna [archived by westwingfancentral_archivist] | Rated M | Josh Lyman/Sam Seaborn | Complete
turns the flicker to a flame by fairwinds09 | Rated E | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | Set during and directly after the events of Ways and Means and War Crimes.
Anyone could have predicted that Josh would be insanely jealous of Cliff Calley. Absolutely no one would have predicted that said jealousy would actually lead to him admitting his feelings to Donna. Sometimes, Josh surprises even himself.
(Also Josh has a thing for Donna's feet, but it's not what it sounds like, okay?)
for you i would ruin myself a million little times by thotsandfeelings | Rated E | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | A post-ep for 3x06 War Crimes.
Something Stupid by notabadday for spinninginfinity | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete |  A response to the episode War Crimes. This is explores what might happen if, some months later, Donna's diary did get out.

thinking about how i want a fic post-series canon where korn basically tells the whole mafia world that vegas and macau died in the shoot out tragically so that the two of them are forced to fuck off into the horizon with pete and stay out of the theerapanyakul empire
so pete takes vegas and macau to his old hometown with grandma and a shitton of retirement money thrown at them by korn (and he periodically sends them more money just for kicks) which means that pete opens up a little dojo teaching small children how to defend themselves from abusive adults, vegas doesnt quite go for therapy but is given the space and time to heal, and macau is shit outta luck bc he still gotta study in uni
also with the fake death nonsense that means vegas and macau are saengtham now and if anyone even looks at her grandson-in-law funny, grandma is likely to throw her cane at them
i just wanna see vegas bloom from having to put on his manipulative fake genial mask on in front of grandma to actually genuinely enjoying her knowledge and company and learning from her bc so much of pete came from her and vegas finds he loves this kindly old woman as much as he loves his husband
vegas going for old ppl taichi with grandma and afternoon gossip sessions in the local park where a bunch of old ppl gather with homemade snacks and drinks and share neighbourhood/town news with each other and he finally gets a chance to find a sense of community in the people around him who he thought were extremely distant and removed from the mafia circle but it turns out when you live till this sorta age you see all sorts of horrible shit in life too
im thinking about a plate sliding off a table and triggering vegas' memory of kan and he pretty much has ptsd and starts losing his shit in public despite not wanting to and the whole painful spiral of going thru that and the community elders who sit thru it with him and guide him firmly but gently out of shell shock because they have seen trauma in so many loved ones and now vegas is one of those people too

I’m not very good at drawing or art in general, but I really wanted to make something to celebrate Castalia’s birthday today. So...yeah. It’s super plain and has like a million and one things wrong with it. Plus, it took me the better part of a day to even do this much...but it’s mine and I’m glad I made it. 
Tumblr media
Happy Birthday, Castalia.
Now let’s see if I can get the next chapter of Horizons finished in time for Vincent’s birthday tomorrow.

let me be very obvious and send you nace for the ship ask!
Do it for our besties, Nancy and Ace
absolutely i will besties!!
-
1. Who buys flowers for the other
I mean, Nancy does still owe Ace flowers from his welcome back party... (but also i love the idea of Nancy opening her locker at the end of a hard shift to find flowers Ace snuck in for her. maybe a little note too because ofc he would leave notes)
2. Who makes the other coffee/tea
Ace 1000% - he also makes Nancy lunches and will sit with her to make sure she eats whenever she gets worked up over a case
3. Who eats the most candy on Halloween
Ace (although Nancy will fight him for the fun size snickers) (between him and Ryan the Drew household goes through 4 bags of candy before they get halfway through October)
4. Who tries new recipes all the time
This is kind of a split - Ace sometimes plays around with weird food combos when the Claw's slow (Birdie's grilled cheese and peanut butter actually turned out to be one of his favorites) But Nancy got really into baking after she and Rebecca bonded while Ace was on his road trip, and they still trade recipes whenever she comes over for dinner
5. Who genuinely likes pineapple on pizza
ACE i'm laughing bc i really just tossed that idea into a fic and here it is again...if it comes up again i'm claiming it's canon Nancy absolutely hates it and refuses to kiss him after he has a slice (at least at first....her resistance usually doesn't last too long)
6. Who wears hats on special occasions
Follow-up question: does breaking and entering count as a special occasion? Because Nancy may or may not have knitted Ace his own b&e beanie (Ryan also bought them both Red Sox hats that time he and Carson took them to Boston for a game...it gave Ace major hat hair and Nancy teased him the whole ride home)
7. Who likes ‘90s R&B
Nancy - Ace doesn't have much of a taste in music other than the 70's rock cassettes that came with Florence (but he will listen to anything Nancy puts on)
8. Who likes long walks on the beach
Both - especially at night. Sometimes it's nice to just take a moment away from everything - without any familial conspiracies or spooky shit to deal with - and enjoy the silence together (they also spend a good deal of time on the bluffs. maybe they have their first kiss there. who's to say.)
9. Who buys wacky picture frames
Ace - he particularly likes the ones with big, obviously fake seashells glued onto them (Nancy's bedroom is starting to look like a boardwalk tchotchke shop but she can't bear to get rid of any of them)
10. Who compares themselves to fictional/celebrity couples
Oh, neither. For two people who toss out movie references with ease, they really have almost 0 pop culture awareness. (that being said, if George hears Bess call them the 'Jim and Pam' of the Claw one more time...)
11. Who can solve a rubix cube
Both. Ace can do it in just over a minute (and he's coming for that world record) Nancy can do it in 3 (but only after she peels off the stickers and cheats when no one's looking)
12. Who would wear Hawaiian shirts on vacation/during the summer
I mean.... (Nancy did borrow one of his after a beach day and he had to turn away and walk down to the water to keep his composure)
13. Who wears mismatched socks because they can’t keep up with the pairs
Nancy (unintentionally - she has too many other things to worry about) Ace (deliberately - it works with his style, so he stopped trying to keep the matches a while ago)

Thoughts and Opinions with spoilers for Alien: Isolation
When I get writing fanfic I get into it hard.
I’ve been looking at the timeline for Alien: Isolation and there are some things not adding up in my brain so I decided to lay it out and see what others think.
Uh, this is a bit of a long post so putting it under the cut.
So, in most fanfic, when Samuels meets up with Ripley people write it taking place on Luna and are assuming that Samuels and Taylor are both from Earth.
BUT, when Samuels meets up with Amanda he says to her ‘I know why you’re working in the region where she went missing’. Which, to my mind, means that that’s exactly where they are- Samuels has met up with her in her place of work.
This is the Nostromo flight path below:
Tumblr media
So, given that the Nostromo flight recorder was only just discovered it makes sense that Ripley would be working somewhere along Solomon’s Circuit. Quite likely on or around Thedus, a planet circling Epsilon Reticuli B, which is why they have to then travel over to Zeta Reticuli.
There is a space station over Thedus called Anchorpoint Station- the last port of call for the USCSS Nostromo and where I think it’s likely Amanda is working when we meet her (though she could also be working planet-side in an engine facility).
FTL tech has come along way since the early days in canon. If you want to count Prometheus, which took place in 2091-2093 it takes two years for them to reach LV-426 from Earth, where as by 2121-2122 it only takes the Nostromo ten months to get from LV-426 to Earth. So after fifteen years we can assume there might be some improvement to the FTL engines but I still maintain it would be like a five month flight at the least from Earth to LV-426.
Below is a relevant timeline of events for the game:
2137 (October 24)
The Anesidora sets down on LV-426 and investigates the Derelict.  Marlow shuts off the beacon, but crewmate Catherine Foster is attacked by a facehugger.
2137 (October 26)
With the hugger now dead, Marlow puts Foster into hypersleep and sets course for Sevastopol to get her checked out.
2137 (November 11)
Anesidora arrives at Sevastopol.  Colonial Marshal Chief Waits is reluctant to let them board, but for the fact they’re carrying the Nostromo flight recorder which could have a hefty reward attached.
2137 (November 11)
Anesidora arrives at Sevastopol.  Colonial Marshal Chief Waits is reluctant to let them board, but for the fact they’re carrying the Nostromo flight recorder which could have a hefty reward attached.
2137 (November 12)
Weyland Yutani Executive Administrator Nina Taylor advises Sevastopol that representatives from the Company will be travelling to the station shortly to retrieve the flight recorder.
Meanwhile Dr Lingard of the San Cristobal medical facility advises Waits that the newly arrived Foster is carrying some sort of parasite.
2137 (November 19)
USCSS Torrens under Captain Diane Verlaine, heads to Sevastopol carrying Taylor, Amanda Ripley and synthetic Christopher Samuels, to retrieve the Nostromo’s flight recorder.
2137 (December 11)
The Torrens arrives at Sevastopol.
From this we can be certain of three things:
1) That from LV-426 to Sevastopol it took the Anesidora sixteen days of travel.
2) That it took the Torrens twenty-two days to get from wherever Ripley is (possibly Thedus) to Sevastopol.
3) WY only found out about the Nostromo flight recorder seven to eight days before the Torrens left.
What this means, to me, is that it’s very likely both Samuels and Taylor were both working somewhere near to Thedus as well, perhaps even on the same station/outpost as Ripley and didn’t travel from Earth to pick her up. There wouldn’t have been time to make the trip.
However, Nina complains of being sick and Samuels says she’s not a seasoned traveler. Being young it could be just that she’s only been into hypersleep once to get out this far, but I always got the feeling she just hadn’t done space travel much at all, which is a little contradictory if she’s been working on a space station or is out this far in general. That being said, she could be living on the surface of Thedus as it’s been terraformed.
Anyway, this is a lot of information to absorb, but what it boils down to is this-
- Samuels and Taylor, as far as I can tell, do not operate from Earth because the FTL engines are not fast enough to allow for a trip from Earth to Sevastopol in twenty-two days. And, - Ripley is most likely working from Thedus or Anchorpoint Station which is where the Torrens departs from.
What do you guys think? Is there anything I’m not understanding?
Also keep in mind that fanfic is whatever you want it to be and you don’t have to follow canon or anything, do whatever the fuck you want, but I love writing very accurate fanfic- that’s my jam, but it doesn’t have to be yours.

Hi Nonny!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sadly I haven’t read as many historical fics as I would have liked to, unless you count the TAB/Victorian AUs I’ve read, LOL.

Silent Night by khorazir (M, 15,060 w., 1 Ch. || Codebreaker / WWII / Imitation Game-Inspired AU || Care Fic, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Dev.

Book 1 follows Emily and Holmes as they begin to unravel her own mystery, when they are introduced to the case of a missing Russian diplomat.

A friend introduces him to John Watson, a handsome medical student visiting the area. Sherlock and John find themselves drawn to each other, falling into a summer romance that may be as painful as it is sweet. Although they follow different paths, their feelings for each other still haunt them, their love finally coming full circle years later. For those concerned about Mary and Victor, they appear only briefly and as very background characters. My version of Mary is not modeled on the BBC version. She is more of an original character, if anything.
Philia and Eros by distantstarlight (E, 84,660 w., 20 Ch. || Historical AU || Friends to Lovers, Time Travel, Kilts, Possessive Behaviour, Love Confessions, Slow Burn, Implied Rape/Non-Con) – Love is timeless but time isn't necessarily linear.

But now the year is 1945 and Captain John Watson has just returned home from the war. Attempting to cope with the horrors he saw in the Solomon Islands, he struggles to get even a weekday slot performing at the jazz clubs. When he hears a radio announcement for a song-writing competition, he knows this is the opportunity he has been waiting for. He only needs to put a band together that can help him win the grand prize.

But the true enigmas are yet waiting to be deciphered: an unbreakable code, a strange murder, and the arrival of Surgeon Captain John H. Watson of the Royal Navy.
Over Fathoms Deep by bittergreens (E, 397,575+ w., 51/?

Top 10 NEW in October 2020!
October added 178* stories to our collection!
Explicit content means it goes under the cut! Also, please make sure to read the tags for any items on your squick list.
Title: The Sun, the Moon, and the Truth Author: senlinyu Rated: M Summary: The war is won but after years, rebuilding is still slow and tenuous.
Katara feels homeless. Everyone else has found a place for themselves after the war. Zuko is the Fire Lord. Aang is the Avatar restoring the Air Nomad nation. Toph has founded a metalbending school in the Earth Kingdom. Sokka has taken the lead beside their father in the Southern Water Tribe’s rebuilding and modernization process.
It seems there’s no place left that needs Katara. Score: 10 / 10 Tags: One Shot, Canon Compliant, Forbidden Love, Mutual Pining, Infidelity
Title: 25 Reasons To Visit Your Local Dungeon Author: zutaralover94 Rated: E Summary: Katara is given a new writing assignment at her job at Warrior Magazine. (One that is not in her expertise.) The assignment? 25 Reasons To Visit Your Local Sex Dungeon. This was a long way away from her normal wardrobe 'how to's. So, research is mandatory. Which means visiting her local sex dungeon: The Blue Spirit.
Zuko, the best rigger The Blue Spirit has, is entrusted with the newbie. He was looking forward to taking down all of this pristine writer's walls.
(This is terrible summary for this is Kinktober 2020) Score: 10 / 10 Tags: Kinktober, Smut, WIP
Title: Mate Author: sparrowkeet1 Rated: E Summary: Sokka wants to know when Zuko and Katara are going to produce a cousin for his six-month-old. Zuko finds the whole prospect far more appealing than he expected.
--
Early entry for Kinktober 2020, Day 12 - Breed Kink. Written as a sequel to Purr but can stand alone.
Series Part 3 of Purr-verse Score: 9.8 / 10 Tags: Kinktober, Smut, Series, Complete
Title: The Summer of the Switching Sickness Author: FictionIsSocialInquiry Rated: E Summary: He sighs. Loudly. ‘Here’s what’s going to happen.’ Katara peeks at him through her fingers. ‘First, we’re going to agree right now that we will never tell any of our friends about this. Ever. Especially Sokka and Toph. Deal?’
Katara nods fervently. ‘Deal.’ - The summer of the Switching Sickness puts a strain on relations between the Fire Nation and Southern Water Tribe... It's probably better for everyone involved if no one else finds out why. Score: 9.8 / 10 Tags: Smut, Body Swap, Complete
Title: (if my wishes came true) it would have been you Author: TheDescension Rated: T Summary: Katara overshares on the internet. Zuko makes it a point to only lurk. Good thing there's nothing tying their online adventures to their real lives — right?
Or, Katara and Zuko have something of a history, and when they reconnect after months of silence, there could be more going on behind the scenes than they realize.
[Graphic Format: Uses HTML and CSS]
Score: 9.7 / 10 Tags: Alternate Universe, Modern Setting, Social Media, WIP
PLAIN TEXT VERSION HERE
Title: Wildfire Author: rainstormdragon Rated: E Summary: 'Stop thinking about him,' was the wrong answer to give her, Zuko knew. So was 'I never want to stop touching you' and 'we could keep doing it, he doesn’t have to find out.' Aang was one of his best friends. He trusted Zuko to act honorably. And Zuko had just had passionate, drunk sex with the woman Aang loved. Katara was right. They were horrible people.
Series Part 3 of ATLA Smut Score: 9.3 / 10 Tags: Series, Smut, Complete
Title: I Asked You First Author: halfhoursonearth Rated: T Summary: After leaving Yon Rha’s village, Zuko finds a way to draw Katara out of her distress, and she begins to seek out his company. In late night conversations, they discover themselves and each other.
This story picks up after The Southern Raiders and carries through and past the series—at some point in the middle, leaving canon behind. Because these two intense kids deserve the chance to feel known, banter with a worthy opponent, examine the legacy of the world they’re fighting for, and—of course—fall in love. Score: 9.2 / 10 Tags: Alternate Universe, Canon Divergence, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Mutual Pining, WIP
Title: See Me Feel Me Touch Me Heal Me Author: gemgirl28 Rated: G Summary: Because Toph knows everything, she is the first member of Team Avatar to realize how touch starved Zuko is.
A short fic in which Toph knows everything, Zuko is touch starved, and Toph's going to help. And maybe spread a little chaos as well. Begins at The Western Air Temple. Score: 8.9 / 10 Tags: One Shot, Fluff
Title: Give It Up Author: Lliyk Rated: E Summary: Katara’s world takes a sharp left. Zuko makes sure that she knows he’s there for her.
In a flash the image in her mind shifts and changes. Saliva pools in from her bottom canines. An angry, aching pulse of need flushes through her core. A shiver works it’s way down her spine, and she thinks she might just vibrate right out of her rebelling skin.
“Of course you want it my way.” Zuko is saying, eyes closed and taking deep breaths through the part of his reddened lips. His thumb graces the line of her neck. “I knew...” He mutters, then, with topaz eyes locking with hers: “Do you trust me?”
Her breathless answer is as automatic as the affront that pulls at her mouth. “I trust you.” She says. “Of course I trust you.” Score: 8.8 / 10 Tags: Alternate Universe, Canon Divergence, Smut, WIP, A/B/O
Title: watch the ripples change their size Author: SafelyCapricious Rated: G Summary: Zuko should’ve drowned when he was three. It’s not something he remembers — his mother, called away, had been forced to leave the children with a nanny, despite her feelings of dread that something terrible was going to happen. She’d been much relieved when she’d returned to her darling boy, sleeping peacefully, little hand curled around a stone from the turtleduck pond, and her sweet girl burbling away angrily in her crib.
For Katara there are many close calls, where she thinks the fire should have hit her but it miraculously doesn’t — but it’s when Aang is practicing and she sees the flame coat her skin for an instant that she knows.

A thread of six posts (three per participant, including the starter) based on the monthly schedule.
Threads and solos do not have to take place directly during an important date listed on the schedule, but must be related to what the muse is mentioned to be doing in the paragraph explaining their schedule/the company’s schedule for the month and/or their thoughts on the mentioned activities or lack thereof.
These schedules may be updated throughout the month if new information needs to be added.
Reminder: August schedule posts are due by the end of September 7 KST. Please do not post schedule posts in the fmdschedule tag.
OVERALL COMPANIES
As has become standard at this point, all idols under the company will be permitted a short, three-day break over Chuseok unless they have individual schedules (admin note: points claims) conflicting with the vacation. It is a true break, meaning idols may travel as they wish and are capable of doing within such a short time period and, if they don’t have individual schedules, their manager will be off the clock as well.
Important dates:
September 30(-October 2): Chuseok vacation (no activities save for any individual schedules).
BC SOLOIST 1
Following the conclusions of her latest comeback promotions, she still has another performance on the festival circuit as a performer at the Seoul event of Waterbomb 2020. She’s been allotted a fifteen minute set which includes ‘Love U”, “Roller Coaster”, ‘Why Don’t You Know”, and her cover of “Bang Bang”. Later in the month, she’ll be dropping into a popular dance studio to film a video showcasing choreography of one of her b-sides, “Do It”, from her album earlier in the year alongside the choreographer.
Important dates:
September 5: Performance at Waterbomb 2020 in Seoul, South Korea (also performing: Dimensions Soloist 1).
September 28: Filming of 1MILLION Dance Studio collaboration video (to be released: October 12).
DECIPHER
Before their maknae leaves the country once again at the end of the month, the members of Decipher must learn the choreography for their new comeback title track as well as for their staged b-side “My Beautiful”. Later in the month, they’ll go in for their regular comeback fittings to decide their comeback promotion wardrobe. 
Important dates:

BEE
BEE finishes off their music show-promotions mid-month after yet another successful album release. Following the end of promotions, they’re offered a full two-week vacation to do as they please. They’re welcome to travel abroad if they wish, with or without a manager, as long as they don’t have other individual activities to attend to in Korea. They’ll only return to business for a few days before they get another, shorter vacation in the form of their time off for Chuseok.

The comeback has a concept involving alter-egos, so the members will be expected to embody both Knight and X-Knight versions of themselves for photos and filming.
Important dates:
September 11: Comeback teaser photo shoot & KNIGHTDEUX Concept Trailer filming.

Knight Light ends their promotions early in the month and then their schedules halt for the time being. Their unit debut was well-received among fans, if not as much the general public, and the general attitude around their promotions seems to suggest the unit will be making a comeback in the future, although no plans have been officially put into place or discussed with the unit members at this time, as preparations for the full group comeback are more important now.

Ready for Domna in an hour yet did not sit down to breakfast till 10 – Over at 10 3/4 – Damp disagreeable dull morning – Umbreallas[umbrellas] up between 8 and 9 – Reaumur 9º at 8 1/2 a.m. our room becomes gradually rather better aired and warmer but still we are very cold – Our fingers 1/2 dead and ourselves only made comfortable by the hot tea – 
Sat down to read Dubois’s Caucasus III Description of Tiflis – Then came Mr. ___ de la parte de Madame Galovin quite a young man about 12 and sat about an hour and he was just gone when Mr. de Braïko called and sat till 1 3/4 – Talked to both of Persia Mr. ___ seemed to think it easy enough if we could bear riding and heat – 
Madame G-[Golovin] has been at Erivan – There we should get interpreters and proper people to go with us – From here to Teheran (voyage calculé) = 1 month – The Shah not at Teheran – At Ispahan and the Russian Ambassador there – A Russian Consul at Tabris – Good map of the Caucasus and of Persia to be had of the Etat Major here – Madame G-[Golovin] a little indisposed – Sore throat – Does not go out at present – To have her carriage tomorrow at 12, and said we would go there the 1st thing to make her acquaintance – 
Mr. de B-[Braïko] very civil and intelligent – Asked us to dine on Thursday at 3 p.m. – His wife only speaks Russian and a little German but his daughter speaks French – He has been 4 years here – 
Tumblr media
General Mikhail Grigoryevich Brayko. (Image Source)
General Grabble commands at Stavropol but it seems General Galovin commands the whole district and General Grabble, too, is under him ∴[therefore] one should complain to General Galovin of our Commandant at Ekaterinograd – 
Very little Trade here now and everything very dear – Now that it is no longer a free port the Trade of Persia except a little with Tabris has left it, and goes to Trebizond the English manufacturers better and cheaper than the Russian – Nothing here but Russian things from the Fair at Nijni and those not the best – some Persian Termalamas but not particularly good – Turquoises &c. &c. all those go to Trebizond – 
40º of heat here Tiflis in the summer but the climate fine in Spring and Autumn – Can go very well from here to Kutaïs – In the District of Guriel, not far from there near the Turkish frontier an English family settled, occupied in Agriculture – Can go very well from here to Baku and from there to Derbend – But between D-[Derbend] and Kislar[Kizlyar] (Daghestan) the nest of the Brigands – The Russians cannot go to cut wood without an escort of 50 men and a piece of canon – 
Hoffman just opposite our hotel and his beau fils Hein or some such name that we passed last night the best carriage menders – No difficulty in mending here – But difficult to find a new equipage to buy – A colony of Germans about 30 houses in the Town, near the river – Sometimes have rooms to let – Another colony just out of the Town 1/2 v.[verst] from here in a direct line, on the other side the river, but only one bridge over the river ∴[therefore] almost a German mile to go round about to get to the place – 
The people poor – The country poor hereabouts – Very poor in legumes, and these and meat very dear – Tho’ the employés are paid Rubles d’argent instead of assignats, they are little better off, everything so dear – Veal seldom to be had except of the German colonists – 
The hot sulphurous baths here très mal propres – Most of them modern – Some old ones du temps des Tzars – The physician here is at the hospital 4 v.[versts] off – At the village of Dalooghi? (vide p.[page] 162) – Dr. …….. he is particularly clever in maladies des yeux – The maladie of eyes (les yeux qui crêvent) now too prevalent among the soldiers in the Crimée is as I have suspected opthalmia[ophthalmia] – Maladie said Monsieur de B-[Braïko] attrapée en France and brought there by the soldiers from Egypt – Very contagious – But nothing of the kind here – Besides, they have now learnt the manner of treating it – Apply leeches and raw meat immediately to allay la chaleur – And these means early applied are generally sufficient – 
The Post a month en route from here to St. P-[Petersburg] very few travellers pass this way – The Count de St. Pyeux? was here for a few days 2 or 3 or one or two years ago – The road over the mountains bad and when the Great Lavine (avalanche) falls (every 6 or 7 years) it blocks it up for months and there is no communication between this side and the other – I mentioned galleries as over the Simplon and Splugen – Yes! But here great falls of stones with the snow – I said those would slip off as well as the snow – But the cost would be enormous, and Georgia already cost enormously and paid very little –
As for the Persian trade it seems there is not much here – At Astracan they said it was here on account of the free port – Here they say it is at Trebizond since the loss of the privilege of free port – In fact, there is not much trade with Persia, nor with China except for tea – Russia will by and by supply herself – In fact, she does now well enough, without much need of Persians or Chinese unless they would take more of her fabriques in return – I have just written so far now at 2 1/2 – The Emperor was here in October 1837 – The weather so bad, and the boue (mud) so terrible he could not sortir en voiture, but was always (went everywhere) à cheval – 
Began to think of dinner – asked George if there was trout – No! What did he pay for the cutlets they had on arriving - -/80 per portion i.e. /25 less than the Restauranteur asked me (he asked 40 S.[Silver] K.[Kopek] = 1/05) – These from the master of our house – Not at home – Sent for some fresh eggs – 10 for -/40 always assignats as usual when Silver not named – At 3 1/2 A-[Ann] and I sat down to 3 eggs each and the remainder of our Brügen given Astracan red wine still good and the remainder of our bottle of Donskoi still very good – We tasted 1st time the excellent gingerbread the Prince de Georgie gave us at Nijni and drank his health – We had kept it par sentiment to eat in his Georgia – In 3/4 hour we had had our frugal meal and enjoyed it – The eggs = -/24 not quite 3d.[shillings] English and the spirit of wine to boil the eggs and the wine was worth perhaps about 3d.[shillings] more what we ate of gingerbread a luxe inoui might be worth 6d.[shillings] – We could not have dined better –
A-[Ann] lay down on the sofa – Still cold – The stove fire gone out, and when at its utmost does little towards warming our room – She sleeps as I write now at 4 50/’’ and I return to my book – Account of Tiflis – Dubois III p.[page] 225 et seq.

Saints&Reading: Thu., May, 7, 2020
St Alexis Toth , Confessor of orthodoxy in N. America
Tumblr media
Our holy Father Alexis, the defender of the Orthodox Faith and zealous worker in the Lord’s vineyard, was born in Austro-Hungary on March 18, 1854 into a poor Carpatho-Russian family. Like many others in the Austro-Hungarian empire, the Toths were Eastern Rite Catholics. Alexis’ father and brother were priests and his uncle was a bishop in the Uniate church. He received an excellent education and knew several languages (Carpatho-Russian, Hungarian, Russian, German, Latin, and a reading knowledge of Greek). He married Rosalie Mihalich, a priest’s daughter, and was ordained on April 18, 1878 to serve as second priest in a Uniate parish. His wife died soon afterwards, followed by their only child—losses which the saint endured with the patience of Job.
In May, 1879, Father Alexis was appointed secretary to the Bishop of Presov and also Administrator of the Diocesan Administration. He was also entrusted with the directorship of an orphanage. At Presov Seminary, Father Toth taught Church History and Canon Law, which served him well in his later life in America. Saint Alexis did not serve long as a professor or an administrator, for the Lord had a different future planned for him. In October, 1889 he was appointed to serve as pastor of a Uniate parish in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Like another Abraham, he left his country and his relatives to fulfill the will of God (Gen 12:1).
Upon his arrival in America, Father Alexis presented himself to the local Roman Catholic diocesan authority, Archbishop John Ireland, since there was no Uniate bishop in America at that time. Archbishop Ireland belonged to the party of American Catholics who favored the “Americanization” of all Roman Catholics. His vision for the future was founded on a common faith, customs, and the use of the English language for everything except liturgical celebrations. Naturally, ethnic parishes and non-Latin rite clergy did not fit into this vision. Thus, when Father Toth came to present his credentials, Archbishop Ireland greeted him with open hostility. He refused to recognize him as a legitimate Catholic priest or to grant permission for him to serve in his diocese.
As a historian and professor of Canon Law, Father Toth knew his rights under the terms of the Unia and would not accept Archbishop Ireland’s unjust decisions. In October of 1890, there was a meeting of eight of the ten Uniate priests in America at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania under the chairmanship of Father Toth. By this time the American bishops had written to Rome demanding the recall to Europe of all Uniate priests in America, fearing that Uniate priests and parishes would hinder the assimilation of immigrants into American culture. Uniate bishops in Europe refused to listen to the priests’ pleas for help...keep reading OCA
Acts: 8:26-39 NKJV
 Christ Is Preached to an Ethiopian 
26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is [a]desert. 27 So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”
30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this:
“He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth. 33 In His humiliation His justice was taken away, And who will declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth.”
34 So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. 36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?”
37 [b]Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.”
And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. 39 Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing.

Rejected by His Own
41 The Jews then [g]complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.” 42 And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, [h]“Do not murmur among yourselves. 44
