Originally released between 2020 and 2021, these three stories have been remastered with revised text, 30 brand new illustrations, and an exclusive bonus story. This collection is roughly 69k words.

Daffodils

Retired assassin Ezra Platt loves his wife, Tessa, more than anything else in the world. For the first time in six years, the two are both in town for their anniversary, which means it has to be made special. What do you get the woman who is your everything, especially when she's an assassin herself? Perhaps the answer lies in Ezra's memories of meeting her...

18.2k words. Features fem dom, face sitting, and pegging.

Carnations

The Duplessis is hosting its biannual masked bacchanal, and art forger and thief Leonard Lacroix has been hired to empty its safe. Infiltrating the classy gentlemen's club is easy, but when he runs into an old flame, getting out with all he wants is not. 

17.4k words. Features gay sex in a private office. Contains the use of a homophobic slur.

Laurels

French couturier Mathieu Masson is a man with one foot in the underworld, the one to call for anything from a killing to a Caravaggio. But when a new client demands what he can't give, he has only his bodyguard, Jean Martin, to lean on. 

16k words. Features a trans male lead and tender lovemaking. Contains some queerphobia, and references to child sex abuse in a character's past.

This collection also includes Narcissus, Dianthus, and Sweet Bay, each an extra short story connected to their corresponding book, from the perspective of the love interest.

I KNOW that you are a specifically Till acc, but do you have any facts on his bandmates? (If not That’s okay love your blog)

Hi ! Thanks for the ask, I tried to gather all the facts I could think of but I probably forgot quite a few (feel free to add to this list if you feel like it !) :

— Richard did a lot of odd jobs when he was young (shoe salesman, cook, etc.) but the job that made the biggest impression on him was as a cleaner for an old lady who had stuffed her poodles. She made him run a feather duster over her poodles ;

— Richard bought his first album in Hungary for 200 marks. It was the album Plastic Surgery Disaster by Dead Kennedys ;

— Rammstein and Depeche Mode got into a tomato fight in the backstage at the 2001 MTV Europe Music Awards.

— Richard bought his first guitar at the age of 16 in Czechoslovakia, not because he knew how to play, but to sell it back in Germany. On the road, he (and some friends) stopped at a campsite and a girl insisted he play, so he strummed the strings. And it was because girls liked guitarists that he became one himself ;

— Paul said that every time Till went to Leipzig, he went to his grandmother's and ate pasta ;

— Paul thinks he might have been a psychic or psychiatrist, Schneider thinks he might have been a computer scientist and Ollie a masson ;

— Paul thinks that if the band were stranded on a desert island, they'd eat Till first, but they'd have to wait until he fell asleep because he probably wouldn't let them. And the worst thing is that Till agrees with it because, when asked the same question, he replied that the group would eat him first because he has more meat than the others...;

— Flake and Paul, along with Feeling B and others, turned Till's house upside down, smashed tables, turned up the music and cooked fried eggs with honey because they couldn't get their hands on the butter ;

— Paul says that if he had to invent an object, it would be a plate that keeps the heat in, because according to him, the dishes are always too hot, so he waits and then they quickly become too cold ;

— Richard and Flake, during the recording of Reise Reise, got into a verbal joust : Richard said that Flake's wife "sang like a cuckoo", and Flake informed Richard that nobody cared about his children's talents ;

— Richard grabbed Till's collar and slammed him against a wall because Till made a joke about Richard's unconditional love of Donald Duck movies. Till repeated this in an interview (with Richard and Ollie) in 2006, to which Richard replied: "Idiot ! I’m a fan of Italian realism from the early 60′s. Alberto Sordi, Fellini... I’m not a snob but unlike these gloomy guys I know cinema well." ;

— Flake told Paul he couldn't be racist because he didn't like anybody ;

— Schneider and Till have gardening competitions, but Till is jealous because Schneider always has the most beautiful orchids ;

— Till sent a huge box of candy with the note "Enjoy the fucking candy" to Chris Martin (Coldplay) to thank him for helping him with a sore neck. Since then, they've been friends, and Chris dedicated a Coldplay song to Till and his children during a concert ;

— Schneider's mother was angry with him because of the Mutter song, but he didn't understand why, he just told her that he didn't write the lyrics ;

— Ollie accidentally hit Till on the head with his bass, Till had to leave the stage and be bandaged, he ended the concert with a huge bandage ;

— Ollie once stole something. It only happened once. It was a little wooden boat, and when he got home he felt so guilty that he confessed the whole thing to his mother ;

The Habit He Can’t Break, 2/4

IQ 123 | Gordon Masson | 9.11.2023

“In Santiago, for instance, we’d sold out two full arenas of 13,000 cap, but then the government declared that for mass gatherings the number needed to be limited to 10,000 people.”

Rather than let fans down, Move added a third day, which again ended up selling out. “I remember being on a night plane from Miami, while Matt Vines was flying in from Dallas, and we were both using the aircraft wi-fi to negotiate via text for that third show. It was an interesting way to confirm putting the third date on sale, just three days before the actual show!”

He adds, “We’re taking a big bet on this tour when it comes to the number of cities and the capacities of the venues, but we’re hoping for the best, and we’ve gone out strong. We feel that the artist is in a good moment and that the latest album has just created more interest, so we’re looking forward to when he arrives in May.”

Further north, Ocesa will promote three dates in Mexico, including a stadium show at the F1 circuit, Autódromo Hermanos, Rodríguez, deepening Tomlinson’s footprint in that crucial North American market.

Meanwhile, in Tomlinson’s homeland, Jack Dowling at SJM is promoting seven UK dates in November at arenas in Sheffield, Manchester, Glasgow, Brighton, Cardiff, London, and Birmingham, which will round out the European leg of the tour.

“SJM has done every show Louis has been involved with, including all the One Direction arena and stadium shows” notes Dowling, adding that on the first tour, the London show was originally penciled in as a Roundhouse, then two Roundhouse shows, before finally being upgraded to Wembley Arena. 

“This time, The O2 arena show in London will be sold out, while all the others have passed the expectations of where we wanted to be on this tour. In fact, when the UK dates were announced, it ranked as the fourth most engaged tour on social media in SJM’s history – his fans are just nuts.”

But Dowling also reports that the fanbase for Tomlinson is expanding. “The demographics are pulling not just from pop, but also from indie rock now.”

Dowling adds, “Louis really looks after his fans. On the last tour, they did a deal with Greggs to give free food to the people waiting in line, as some of them camped out for days in advance.”

Out of My System

Ensuring his fans are looked after properly is the number one priority in Tomlinson’s live career.

Noting that Tomlinson’s audience comprises mainly young women and girls, Rowland reveals that, at the artist’s insistence, a safety team has been added to the tour to ensure everyone that attends his shows is looked after. “They manage all the safety within the shows for the fans,” she explains. “They came in for the Wembley show last year and have been with us ever since - they’ve been beneficial to the running of the tour. 

“When he played in South America, some of his fans were camping outside for a month. So we have a responsibility to look after them. Coming to a show should be a safe place, it’s where they find joy, and we have a responsibility to protect that.”

Manager Vines comments, “One issue that we came up against almost all last year was crushing and fans passing out. We adopted a system where we could communicate with fans, who could hold up a mobile phone with a flashing red-and-white sign if they were in trouble but then we’d see them all popping up.

“I don’t know whether some of that was a hangover of the pandemic where fans just weren’t used to being in venues. But we experienced a number of situations where hydration and temperatures in venues became an issue. I know Billie Eilish went through similar issues.”

With Tomlinson determined to meet a duty of care toward his fans, Vines says that the team now sends a “considerable advance package” to promoters ahead of their tour dates. “Our safety team goes into venues in the morning, and basically ensures that a number of different things are in place – making sure that water is given to the fans, where the water comes from, and at what points in the show it happens.”

And on the crushing phenomena, he reports, “We’ve worked out how many fans it’s safe to have without a secondary barrier. So we instruct promoters to have certain barriers in place to relieve the pressure and avoid crushing.”

He adds, “I get detailed incident reports after each show, which lets myself and my management team know exactly what happened, and so far on this tour, we haven’t had any issues with crushing or hydration, which is fantastic.”

Production manager Craig Sherwood is impressed by the way the tour has pivoted to protect the ‘Louies.’ “The welfare officers are vital for the young girls were aged from, I guess, 14 upwards. They can get dehydrated and malnourished pretty quickly if they are camping out for days, so it’s important that we look out for their well-being,” says Sherwood. 

Citing the extremes that the Louies will put themselves through in an effort to secure themselves prime positions at the front of the stage, Sherwood recalls, “The first show on our US tour was in February, and it was freezing, but we found out that girls had been camping out on the pavement for five days. It’s crazy, as we know these young girls are coming from all over the world to see Louis.”

However, Tomlinson’s connection with those fans is evident in the level of merchandise sales at each show. “It’s a huge part of our business, says Vines. “In America, we averaged about $36 a head, and it’s not much shy of that in Europe – we set a few national records in terms of spend per head. But we spend a lot of time on merch plans, and we do venue-specific drops and give it a lot of care and attention, as it’s a really important element of Louis’ business.”

“The sanctuary of Eileithyia at Amnissos, known from numerous later literary sources, is the sole case of a sanctuary that is considered to have been identified in excavation and is attested by the Knossian tablets. The frequent reference to Amnissos in the administrative records of the early LM IIIA:2 period is perhaps due to the particular importance of the coastal site as one of the two harbors of Knossos (Davaras and Masson 1983, 383–384; Schäfer 1991, 111–112). The first line of the leaf-shaped tablet Gg(3) 705 from the West Wing of the palace of Knossos records the dispatch of an amphora of honey to Amnissos for e-re-u-ti-ja. This name is transcribed into alphabetic Greek as Eleuthia/Ἐλευθίᾱ, and she has been identified as the goddess of childbirth Eileithyia, known from Homer and many other ancient authors and scholars (Ventris and Chadwick 1956, 310; Aura Jorro and Adrados 1985, 244). . . . Concerning the etymology of the early type Eleuthia, various interpretations have been proposed, the most probable reducing it to an Indo-European root meaning “free of weight,” and possibly referring to the goddess’s role as midwife (Ruipérez and Melena 1996, 187). According to another viewpoint, it derives from the root eleuth- of the verbal type eleusomai (to come, to arrive), while arguments that the name is of pre-Hellenic provenance have also been formulated (Frisk 1960, 456; Schäfer, ed., 1992, 84).

The reference in Homer’s Odyssey (19.188–190) to the cave where the goddess was worshipped at Amnissos echoes the fame of the cult practiced there at least during the Late Minoan period. The initial association of the cave found at Amnissos by I. Hazzidakis in 1885 with Eileithyia was based on this particular passage in Homer (Marinatos 1929, 95). The excavations conducted subsequently by S. Marinatos between 1929 and 1938 confirmed the use of the cave from Neolithic into Late Minoan times, as well as during the Geometric, Hellenistic, and early Roman Imperial periods (Marinatos 1929, 97, 99, 103; 1930; Betancourt and Marinatos 2000). During historical times “mogostokos” Eileithyia, that is, the goddess who brought the pangs of childbirth, was worshipped all over Greece and was identified by various variations of her name in the local dialects: Eleuthyia in Crete, Eleuthia or Eleusia in Laconia, and Eleuthie in Ionia (Frisk 1960, 455). She was particularly popular, however, in many cities of Crete, including Lato, Inatos, Aptera, and Amnissos (Nosch 2009, 27). Although it has been maintained that during the first millennium b.c. a fusing of Eileithyia with Artemis took place (Antoniou 1980, 228–229), it is noteworthy that both deities are recorded independently in the Linear B tablets from Knossos and from Pylos, respectively. The question of the continuity of worship in the Amnissos Cave remains open (Schäfer, ed., 1992, 84); nevertheless, the reference in the Knossian documents to the sanctuary of the goddess advocates the origin of the late cult of Eileithyia from an earlier Minoan goddess of childbirth (Nilsson 1949, 30; Willetts 1962, 168–172).

The brief text incised on the Knossian tablet Gg(3) 705 by Scribe 140, from the Chamber of the Jewel Fresco (Olivier 1967, 85) provides a pretext for certain hypotheses relating to the nature of worship at the site. Honey played an important role in cult, as indicated by the large number of Knossian tablets recording this item. The quantity of honey offered is stated in tablet Gg(3) 705 by the logogram *209VAS, denoting a fixed unit, the precise capacity of which is not known (Ruipérez and Melena 1996, 187). Nonetheless, the attribution of a corresponding quantity “to all the gods” (pa-si te-o-i), in the second line of the tablet, allows us to assume that Eileithyia was the principal deity of Amnissos. Recorded in the third line also is an amphora of honey, which is offered to another deity, whose name is only preserved fragmentarily. Proposed is the restoration of the dative case e-ne-si-da-jo-ne of the possible name of a male divinity, Ένεσιδάhων (Enesidahon; Aura Jorro and Adrados 1985, 219), who is associated with Amnissos in tablet KN M 719 by the same scribe, from the same space. According to some researchers, this is an epithet qualifying Poseidon (Jorro and Adrados 1985, 219). . . .

Tablets KN Od(2) 714.b and Od(2) 715.a, by the specialist Scribe 103 from the Chamber of the Jewel Fresco (Olivier 1967, 44–50, 131–132), concern one other aspect of the economics of worship. Eileithyia receives from the Knossian bureaucrats one intact unit of wool, which is equivalent to 30 kilos of the product, while in tablet Od(2) 716.a she perhaps receives an additional four units of wool. The destination of these offerings is not stated, but it is perhaps related to craft-industrial activity, since the names a-*65-na and ta-wa-ko-to, recorded in these registers, are of persons in a weaving workshop (Enegren 2008, 98, 173). By analogy with the sources of historical times (Soph. OC, 461–493) regarding the dedication of offerings to the gods, it has been proposed that the wool was perhaps intended for the adornment with garlands of the amphorae of honey (Weilhartner 2005, 45).7.”

So now let me explain you why this sort of shit happens... you alwayß had egyptian culture, you've just destroyed our land multiple times... the reason why the gypsies never got expelled from europe is becauae contrary to what those masson people are trying to comvince you all, jewish people was never framed of witchery as it was impossible to deny their association with european orthodox christianity,that doesn't mean they wasn't persecutedd at some poiimt or they wouldn't be expelled but funny enough the most persecuted religion was christianity itself!! Gypsies and black people was always more egyptian than all of you but my spirituality you can kind of notice that it got seperated from christianity on purpose like if they was he aristicrats therefore more christian than REAL AND PAGAN christianity (hindu and islamic chistianity the origin of it)... i'll make a bridge now for the subjects of drugs because it got everyhing to do with it; xamanism for example invented by asian and black people was highly perscuted even if comming from christians! Now drug usage is a method! You need to do the method propally and not everyone is taught to do it properly so then you have madonnas masonnas that go crazy because her only goal in life is to question shit that shouldn't be questioned on the pretense of being less free because of it

Leclerc says Le Mans is a box I want to tick after Ferrari victory | RaceFans Round-up

In the round-up: Charles Leclerc says he wants to take part in the Le Mans 24 Hours one day after Ferrari won the event for the first time in 58 years. In brief Leclerc hopes to tackle Le Mans “one day” Speaking yesterday after Ferrari claimed its first outright victory at La Sarthe since 1965, Leclerc said he “would love to” take part in the race himself one day. “It’s an incredible event,” he told Eurosport. “For sure one day in my life I want to tick that box. When it will be I don’t know. I’m just extremely proud of what Ferrari has done today. It’s been crazy.” Former F1 driver Antonio Giovinazzi shared victory in the race with Alessandro Pier Guidi and James Calado. Ferrari’s second car finished fifth. “It feels absolutely amazing,” said Leclerc. “Having a Ferrari winning it’s incredible after a return after so many years, it’s a very special edition. Unlucky for the second Ferrari as we had a small impact with a small rock on one radiator so that made us lose a lot of time.” Hartley defends Hirakawa over costly crash Toyota hypercar driver Brendon Hartley backed team mate Ryo Hirakawa after his potentially race-losing crash at Arnage late in the race. The number eight Toyota was chasing the race-winning Ferrari at the time. Having been 16 seconds off the lead before Hirakawa’s error, the car dropped to more than three minutes adrift. The leading Ferrari beat them to victory by 81 seconds. “I knew if we just tried to put them under some kind of pressure, they had the pace advantage, but we did everything,” Hartley said after the race. “We threw everything at them. “We put Ryo in, we said, ‘look, full risk, maximum attack – we want to win the race’. He had a little accident, it happens. It could happen to any of us, and it happened to many guys out there the last 24 hours. So full support for Ryo as well. The goal was to go maximum attack and that’s what we did.” Boya takes clean sweep at Monza MP Motorsport driver Mari Boya won the second of two races in the Eurocup-3 at Monza to complete a clean sweep of the weekend and take his third successive win in his participation in the series. Boya fell to third at the start but climbed back to pass Esteban Masson in the closing laps to win. The victory moves Boya up to second in the series championship, four points behind Masson.

Michael Bauer

Michael Bauer is a German artist who is based in New York City and makes animalistic and free form compositions. I found him looking through the Contemporary Art Daily website where there were so many artists to choose from. I found his art very mesmerizing and again full of color which is what I am attracted to and I think is a signature of his work . His use of color, lines, and techniques really make each piece unique yet one can tell that it’s his work. I see pop art, cubist and surrealist inspiration in his art. I got reminded of work by Max Ernst and Andre Masson who have similar fun with shapes and colors that just make you confused but enthralled looking at their work. I especially like the pink painting as I just keeping seeing more details and makes my brain look for shapes and in general make sense of what it is. His pieces that are less colorful are still full of mystery and I would love to see his paintings in person.

White Nature Beauty ❄️ In the depths of winter's frosty embrace, The beauty of nature takes center stage, As white snowflakes fall with delicate grace, And the world is draped in a pristine white lace. The trees stand tall, their branches bare, Yet their starkness holds a unique flair, For against the snow, they create a striking contrast, A sight that leaves one's heart awestruck and steadfast. The animals too, are a sight to behold, As they navigate the snow, both young and old, Their coats are thick, to shield them from the cold, Yet they exude a warmth that never grows old. The winter landscape is a sight to see, A masterpiece created by a force so free, A reminder that beauty exists in all that be, And that we should cherish it with humility. So let us embrace the white winter's beauty, And allow it to fill us with its serenity, For in its essence, we find a sense of duty, To protect and preserve nature's legacy.

GOSSIP GOSSIP GOSSIP Act 7: Damp Footnotes

26 & 27 November 2022 Kunstbrücke am Wildenbruch

Through Silvia Federici's essay "On the Meaning of Gossip,” we now know that the word gossip originally stood for a close friend, not idle talk. Based on Federici's definition Damp Footnotes evolved out of the idea that one can remember, or at least picture, a good friend's toes.

At Kunstbrücke Wildenbruch, a former public toilet under a bridge, small groups will be led through 22-minute long performances –the length of a Friends episode–, exploring how friends infect, affect, and shape one another through the porous intimacy of friendship. This work is an ode to the way friends can bring us back to earth and ground us in the moment, allowing for at least short episodes of non-quantifiable coexistence and fluid streams of consciousness, free from the incessant ramblings of our "rational" minds.

Damp Footnotes materializes through and with friends; writer Victoria Camblin creates a text for the space, while Jessica Gadani, Leah Katz, and Rosalind Masson embody and create the work through performance.

Damp Footnotes is the last of five parts of the series The Devil's Radio, funded by the Hauptstadtkulturfonds and co-conceived by Anja Lückenkemper and Sandra Teitge. This event has been additionally supported by Senate Department for Culture and Europe and Fund for Exhibition Fees for Visual Artists.

November 8: Cabinet of Curiosities 1x02

Today’s Cabinet of Curiosities, Graveyard Rats, was rather a disappointment. I don’t think it was bad or poorly made or even ineffective horror, but it was not for me. It was not the sort of thing I like. It did not give me that pleasant-scared feeling that horror-to-my-taste provides, where I am scared, yes, but in a somehow enjoyable way. To me, good horror is about being frightened in a safe and controlled way. It is Not disgust, anxiety, sadness, pity. It’s a type of precise fear.

This story to me made me feel sometimes sad, sometimes grossed out, sometimes honestly kinda bored, and yeah sometimes scared but in anxious way. I’m not sure to describe. In a way, I was too scared, too much of the real emotion, which is in fact not pleasant.

I found Masson to be pitiful, in a pathetic sense (pathetic in a pitiful sense?) and thus very hard to watch. The rats were mostly just rats, which is fine, neither very gross nor very scary. I do not like enclosed spaces either and so the claustrophobic aspect made me feel uncomfortable. The scenes where he prays, especially when he prays as he thinks he is nearing the light, made me feel incredibly sad.

In many ways, this also felt too similar thematically to the first episode. Maybe that was on purpose since they were released together and they’re all pairs in a way. In both, a pathetic, desperate man lets his greed lead him to a gross, scary place, where he thoughtlessly frees an Eldritch Horror while trying to carry off riches, and then he is soundly punished. And of the two, I thought Lot 36 was much better.

I read a summary of the short story on which it was based first, but like, not very well, and I had the idea that the narrative was quite different than it was. I saw the phrase “abnormally large rats” and thought this was going to be, like, a weird fiction type AU where the grave robber is beset by very large rats, like 3-4 foot long rats, and also this is a normal thing to have rats this size. So like a contrast of the scummy dirtiness of grave robbing with the sci fi aspect of large animals, all kinda Roadside Picnic-y, and with the horror, and the climax of the horror, really built around the size of the Final Rat.

A couple things I did like: the way they shot the rats pulling the body down the tunnel, where all we see is the feet being dragged along; the concept that long-standing dark magic that is literally underground has bred huge, mean, greedy rats, as in, those rats are... perhaps not rats at all?
