The funniest sword fight scene in the history of cinema.
The End, by Alister Lockhart.
Polish Literature: My Song (II) by Cyprian Kamil Norwid (1821 - 1883)
For that land where a scrap of bread is picked up From the ground out of reverence For Heaven’s gifts. I am homesick, Lord!
For the land where it’s a great travesty To harm a stork’s nest in a pear tree, For storks serve us all. I am homesick, Lord!
For the land where we greet each other In the ancient Christian custom: “May Christ’s name be praised!” I am homesick, Lord!
I long still for yet another thing, likewise innocent, For I no longer know where to find My abode. I am homesick, Lord!
For worrying-not and thinking-not, For those whose yes means yes — and no means no — Without shades of grey. I am homesick, Lord!
I long for that distant place, where someone cares for me! It must be thus, though my friendship Will never come to pass! I am homesick, Lord!
- translated by Walter Whipple ■ Cyprian Kamil Norwid (1821 - 1883) was a Polish poet, playwright, painter, and sculptor who was one of the most original representatives of late Romanticism.
■ Norwid led a tragic and often poverty-stricken life (once he had to live in a cemetery crypt). He experienced increasing health problems, unrequited love, harsh critical reviews, and increasing social isolation. He lived abroad most of his life, especially in London and in Paris, where he died.
■ His work was only rediscovered and appreciated during the Young Poland art period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. He is now considered one of the four most important Polish Romantic poets.
y’all just— thinking about how excited Stanley must have been to host the twins— Alex says he smokes cigars but he doesn’t smoke once in the show— has a beer gut but he only drinks sodas in front of the kids— doesn’t swear when they’re around which must have taken INCREDIBLE effort— Stanley Pines, known crook, buying pancake mix at the supermarket and many bottles of syrup— learning to cook basic healthy meals and burning so many of them before he gets it right— buying new sheets, new mattresses— avoiding bunk beds because it reminds him of Ford— looking at the attic room he made wondering “is this enough will they like me”— trying to act aloof at the bus stop so he doesn’t betray the fact that he was there hours early— watching them goof around and thinking of New Jersey beaches— then the first night they’re there, he watches them debate running away and only stay because Mabel shook a magic 8 ball. That must have kept him awake all night.
This fight didn't start because the people are hungry, not because they are unemployed, not because they have no hope, no future, not because the corruption is out of control, not because the people in power have stolen all the money from oil, gas, ressources. No. It started because one 22 year old girl Mahsa Amini died for not covering her hair. It started for women. Now Men are out there fighting, risking their lives shoulder to shoulder with women. Their mothers, wives, friends, lovers, sisters and daughters. This is the world we need. Everyone standing up, for each other. Against oppression, against ignorance. Long live the spirit of Iran which never dies. Long live this country and its people. After hundreds of years of oppression, they still have a heart of gold that burns in dignity and caring love for one another. Long live people of Iran🇮🇷🕊

Tf-
Yes is was Stolas-
You chose to leave her the SECOND you thought someone would harm your precious little imp. You didn't even bother thinking about how she would feel SEEING YOU IN THAT SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE.
The answer to that?
YES.
And before someone says he never did and actually loved her, this doesn't sound like someone who stayed miserable just for their kid to be happy.
(Before anyone says the last two images contradict my statement, him saying this is the equivalent of saying "Hey little Timmy the only reason I allowed myself to be abused and insulted for 17 years is so YOU can have a normal life so I'm let myself suffer solely because of YOU despite having every chance to leave but i chose not to because of YOU". Doesnt sound good does it?)
But this line here:
"It was never enough?" For her?
Does this look like someone who needed more out of an already shitty marriage?
She insulted and bitched about him to her friends, but it looks like the only thing that she needed to be happy was her parties, her equally spoiled friends, and to be pampered 24/7. All things she pretty much had.
It was STOLAS that was never happy and needed more.
Every scene they show him in from the past, he's always icing himself out from the crowd with a scowl on his face and halfway into a bottle of booze.
HE was the one that felt what he had was never enough.
HE was the one to decided to cheat on his wife, not even be private about said affair, and only owned up to it because the narrative demanded it.
And the fact that he just fucking up and decides to not even fight and earn Octavia' forgiveness back is just..
This is NOT someone who loves their child.
If he loved her like he said he did he wouldn't have given up right then; he would've agreed with Blitz when he said this:
All this finale did was confirm the fact that Stolas really didn't care for her in the end. He STILL chose to go home with the same guy that he left his daughter for, he gave up the second she hurt his feelings, and now we're supposed to feel bad for him because of the sad music in the background?
And before anyone says I'm wrong and he didn't choose Blitz over his kid via him going home with the guy, you forgot one tiny little character:
HIS FATHER.
PAIMON.
WHY HASN'T HE GONE TO HIM ABOUT STELLA TRYING TO KEEP OCTAVIA AWAY FROM HIM?
WOULD THIS NOT FUCK UP THE WHOLE HEIR THING FOR THE GOETIA LINE IF ANDRE'S FAMILY WERE TO GET SOLE CUSTODY OF OCTAVIA?
Once again the writing is garbage, the plot is bloated, and Stolas is babies by the narrative for facing the consequences of his actions.
Now he gets the reward of treating Blitz like he doesn't even care about him all throughout season 3 while getting babied even more by Vivziepop and her writing staff cronies
Oh yeah, and Millie's pregnant.
Of course it doesn't get explored any further.
Show rating: -9999/10 (only good part was Octavia' song)

After seeing the dad how do I channel, I really wanted this one. I searched for it and, tada! Mom how do I? Seems rather new, but I love it anyway.
🕯 14-year-old weightlifter Alina Peregudova died in blocked Mariupol. The girl had high hopes in sports and was a candidate for the national team of Ukraine.
Last year at the national championship Peregudova won gold medals. "She aspired to reach victories of the highest level in the future. But the "Russian peace" came, which "freed" her from this future," the Mariupol City Council said. Together with Alina, russian soldiers killed her mother.
