MY GREATEST ENEMY IS NO ONE BUT MYSELF

“Adoration of the Mystic Lamb”, by Hubert van Eyck and Jan van Eyck (1432); // “Juda’s Kiss”, by Gustave Doré; // “Briseis Restored to Achilles in his Tent Discovers the Body of Patroculus”, Léon Cogniet (1815); // “Ophelia”, by John Everett Millais (1851)

I’ve really been loving Madoka Magia Exedra and I can’t wait for future events. I never got the opportunity to play Magia Record 😭 but this game has been so much fun. I genuinely log in every day to play a level, event, and earn supplies. The Gacha system is admittedly evil but Im thankful with how lucky I’ve been.

I got a free Mami off the daily free Madokami pull!!!

With the rumored Doppel-Iroha on the way *which I’m hyped for* I think this opens the door for a lot of fun characters. Obviously all characters with Doppels could have new kioku but the game could really do something special for Candeloro & Ophelia.

They could release labyrinths for these two witches at the same time they release the Doppel Mami/Kyoko banners. We never got them as bosses for Magia Record so it would be nice to bring them back from the PSP game. Imagine exploring these areas, it would be breathtaking for sure!

On that note, I’m hoping that we get a new labyrinth when they release Mabayu instead of an event but that’s just me.

I’m hoping for a lot of hype when the Rebellion story gets released as well.

ALSO- while im here, i really hope wraith arc gets some love. Getting o fight wraiths for the first time, Bow-Homura Kioku, wraith-Madoka, what more could you want!?

A Love Letter to History

(if you could call it that)

On a cold January morning in 1914, James Joyce published the first part of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. In that very part, on a similarly cold morning just after Christmas Break, Stephen Dedalus stood huddled with other Clongowes students and watched the snow moulding itself around their boots, wondering what made Simon Moonan and Tusker Boyle, in all their ordinariness, kiss in the square.

Napoleon Bonaparte was not born Napoleon Bonaparte. He was born Napoleon Buonaparte. Napoleon Buonaparte was not born in France, but he was born French enough. Of course, they’ve forgotten that by now. They often aren’t allowed to remind themselves, either.

There is very little to say about Fahrenheit 451 that it has not already said about itself. Any review of it is only ever a paraphrasing of some chapter or other, intentionally or otherwise. In the past twenty years, it has been banned at least ten times in the US alone. I imagine censoring a book about censorship gave many people the opportunity to pat themselves on the back. Unfortunately, their intentions, however malevolent, are misplaced. In the book, the people are on the side of banning books. There is no oppression, and no need for revolution. The bars caging a mind are not so easy to topple. The guillotine falls over an empty basket, and symbolism overflows from an empty cup. There is nothing to overthrow when the fault lies with time.

History. What a heavy word.

Christopher Marlow was excommunicated by the Church, and so was one of Shakespeare’s daughters. It is claimed that he based Ophelia off of his wife. I wonder why.

Five years after that day in the square, Stephen Dedalus refused to back down from his claim of Byron’s brilliance. Words like 'blasphemous' and 'irreligious' pooled around his feet. He cupped his hands in the water and lapped it up. Everything I write now contains some shred of Stephen’s name. I wonder why.

Why is a muse called a muse? To muse is to think, to think deeply. Is a muse’s job to be a conductor of thought? Must all thought be equivalent to love? Why does the word smell like the thickest honey? Why does it sit so heavily on my tongue?

Icarus never meant to fall. If he raced toward the sun, it was only to prove that he could. And he was never on fire. Oh, he burned, alright — the melting wax made sure of it. Did he grasp at the feathers as they came free from the harness? Did he watch them drifting towards the sea? Did he notice anything happening at all? For a moment, a brief, shining moment, the sun was neither hope nor doom, but triumph.

I never could write anything on either the 31st or the 1st. There is something about endings, and something about beginnings. The sun dawned the same on New Year’s Day, but at the stroke of midnight, my phone sang like I lived my whole life before the first light.

Fifteen years after that day in the square, Stephen Dedalus parted with Cranly, unafraid of being alone,

“— and not have any one person who would more than a friend, more even than the noblest and truest friend a man ever had.”

“Of whom are you speaking?” Stephen asked at length.

Cranly did not answer.

They met again, and sixteen years after Oscar’s death, James Joyce retraced his name in “Wilde’s love that dare not speak its name” in a book I have yet to read.

It’s funny how they ban books written centuries ago. Congratulations, Ronald, a pre-industrialization schoolmaster had a broader mind than yours. A clod of dirt shifts as Shakespeare turns in his grave.

History. What a heavy word. I used to think we owed it something.

I saw The Lumineers the other day (my favorite band), and I can tell you that post-concert depression is real

Well, there go! The another trio from Frigiel & Fluffy is here! Jenna, Ophelia and Erikh, when they’re older, but with a touch of my personal designs

Can we talk for a second about how Hamlet is only sympathetic if he’s like, 19? That’s not to say you can’t make a good Hamlet with a 32 year old actor, but the main character Will Not be sympathetic if you do that. Which is fine, you can make an interesting movie with that, just don’t expect people to like Hamlet in it.

rant.

WHY-?

why is tragedy beautiful?

why is suicide glamorized?

why do we romanticize the Ophelias, Hedda Gablers, Cleopatras and Sylvia Plaths?!

why are Neil Perry and Daisy Randone fan favorites?!

WHY do so many queer stories end in sorrow?!

We are here to live! Dying is a consequence, not an aspiration!

YES!! momento mori, but so you can remember to enjoy life now, CARPE DIEM!!

Why when we can romanticize life, do we choose death?

Why do we choose to retreat from the warm caress of the sun and turn to the suffocating vice grip of the earth?

DEAR GOD WHY!!!!!
