2024.11.28 20:23 normancrane Sillai, who lives upon the edge of all blades
The god of death has many daughters, one of whom is Sillai, who lives upon the edge of every blade that cuts or thrusts, pricks or slashes…
Gazes, she, into slitted throats and fatal wounds, upon stabbed and tortured backs; and by sharpened, poisoned endings, spoken: speaking softly in the dark.
No mortal is her foil, for her speech is the speech of her father, the speech of death. And death is the end of all men.
Yet there is one who charmed her, a mortal man called Hyacinth, a bladesmith by trade, and an assassin by vocation, who fell in love with her. Let this, his fate, now be a warning, that from the mixing of gods with men may result one thing only—suffering.
Even the oldest of the old poets know not how Hyacinth met Sillai, but it must be he came to know her well in the exercise of his craft, for Hyacinth killed with knives, and on their edges lived Sillai.
In the beginning, he heard her only as he killed.
But her speech, though sweet, was short, for Hyacinth’s blows were true and his victims died quickly.
Yet always he yearned to hear her again, and thus he began to hire himself to any who desired his services, no matter how false their motivations, until he became known in all the world as Grey Hyacinth, deathmaster with a transparent soul, and even the best of men passed uneasily under shadows, in suspended fear of him.
Once, upon the death of an honest merchant, Hyacinth spoke to Sillai and she spoke back to him. This pleased so Hyacinth’s heart that he beseeched Sillai to speak to him even outside the times of others’ dyings, to which Sillai replied, “But for what reason would I, a daughter of the god of death, converse with a mortal?” and Hyacinth replied, “Because I know you like no other, and love you with all my being,” and, sensing she was not satisfied with this, added, “And because I shall fashion for you an endlessness of blades, with edges for you to enjoy and live upon and with which we shall kill any whom we desire.”
From that day forth, Hyacinth spent his days forging the most beautiful blades, and his long nights murdering—no longer as the instrument of others, but for reasons of his own: to hear the voice of his beloved.
But the ways of the gods are mysterious and of necessity unknowable to man, and so it was that, as time passed, Sillai become bored of Hyacinth, of his blades and his devotion, until, one night, Hyacinth plunged a jewel-encrusted blade into another victim, but his victim refused to die and Hyacinth did not hear the voice of Sillai.
He called her name, but she did not answer, and gripped by passion he beat his victim to death with his fists, and the resulting silence of the night was undisturbed except by the cries of Hyacinth, who wailed and professed his love for Sillai, but despite this, nevermore did she reveal herself to him.
And rumours spread among men that Grey Hyacinth had been taken by madness.
And, from that time, existence became unbearable for Hyacinth, for his love for Sillai had not waned, and her absence was a most-profound pain to him, who yearned for nothing but another revelation. Until, one day, he found himself having taken shelter in a cave, deep within the mountains that guard the north from the winds of non-existence, and there decided that his life was no more worth living.
So it was that Hyacinth took the same jewel-encrusted blade and ran it cleanly across the front of his neck, opening a wide and gushing wound.
But he did not die.
Although his blood ran from his throat and down his seated body, and although his vitality poured forth with it, in his desperation Hyacinth had forgotten that it is not man—neither his weapons nor his hands—that kill, but the gods; and Sillai, who lives upon the edge of every blade, was absent, so that even with his opened throat and loosely hanging head and bloodless body, Hyacinth remained alive.
Yet because his body was drained of vitality, he was unable to move or act or end his life in any other way.
And Sillai’s absence pained him thus all the more.
Although he had never done so before, he prayed now to whatever other gods he knew to bring him swift death by thirst or hunger.
Alas, from the mixing of gods with men may result only suffering, and the gods on whom Hyacinth called considered unfavourably the pride he must have felt not only to fall in love with a god but to expect that she may love him back, and every time Hyacinth thought that finally, mercifully, he was about to expire, the gods sent to him food and water to keep him alive. And these ironic gifts, the gods delivered to him by messengers, the ghosts of all those whom Hyacinth had killed, of whom there are so many, their slow and ghastly procession shall never, in time, end, and so too shall Hyacinth persist, seated deep within a cave, in the mountains that guard the north from the winds of non-existence, until awaketh will the god of all gods, and, in waking, his dream, called time, shall dissipate the world like mist.

For context the warden has a despawning and a spawning animation where it appears the warden digs/spends it's time mostly underground. So now I am wondering where they live?

2024.11.28 20:23 Baggydolphin Professor Layton and the New World of Steam - new trailer
I'm super hyped about the fact that there will be the most puzzles ever! But, although they are going to localize it in my language (ITA), I'm pretty sure they're not going to dub it as well. And it's weird because even the Katrielle spinoff is dubbed, so I really hope they, idk, change idea :D I heard this will be for other languages as well.

 | Absolutely loving this thing, came from a Lenovo flex 5. The build quality is miles better, feels so much more sturdy and a lot easier to work on without breaking anything. My last laptop felt so flimsy in comparison. Running Linux mint and haven't had any issues! If your planning on buying one do it! Got mine off ebay in mint condition 16Gb ram, 512Gb SSD rocking the i5 for 100$ shipped. submitted by Downtempo655 to thinkpad [link] [comments] |
2024.11.28 20:23 Repulsive-Bunch-4126 Story of my friend Sereen and her husband Hatem- in Gaza who lost everything after a rocket fell on their home- amidst flames and escaping bullets, while carrying their children Ahmed and Sandy in their arms.
 | Sereen shared her story with me about a terrifying event that happened. She, Hatem, and their two young children were targeted and shot at by Quadcopters. As they tried to escape, the plane kept chasing them while they carried the children and hid wherever they could. She described their survival as nothing short of a miracle, something she could never forget. When they evacuated their home, they walked through fires that as she describes to me-felt like the horrors of the Day of Judgment. Severed electrical wires hung dangerously in the streets, and they had to walk over rubble and stones. On their way to the south, the road was filled with corpses. They had to walk carefully, avoiding looking down, because stopping could mean being killed. Sereen said she doesn’t like to remember this. On the way south, the ground was full of dead bodies. They stepped over the belongings of the dead, like money and clothes. She also saw food, toys, and dolls of children who were killed. They had to keep walking and not look down, or they would be killed too. submitted by Repulsive-Bunch-4126 to TheDeprogram [link] [comments] |

I've been trying to level up Insight but it isn't...working. I've been playing through chapter 9 in world mode with level 30 Lethe and she hasn't come in once. Even when I intentionally failed a song with hard gauge, she didn't come up. Am I doing something wrong?

2024.11.28 20:23 AnInfamousClam I (22M) want to be treated like a dog
Like I want to just be loved unconditionally and want to be there for someone else when they need me. I want my head scratched and belly rubbed. Not even as a fetish or anything but just that I think I’d like it. I mean it can be contextually I guess but I just want to be loved. I don’t know if it’s healthy or not. Planning to speak to my therapist about it soon. It makes me happy but I’m reluctant to give in. Sometimes it helps to turn off your brain for a while.

2024.11.28 20:23 cabinetelm I have a feeling that i will never be good at something...
Let me start by saying that this is not a crazy offmychesst as some post here but i really needed to vent.
I made my apprenticeship as an automatician (Automatiker EFZ in german). I work with electrical stuff and i also do some programming on plc's. Now i finished my apprenticeship with good grades overall but everywhere i work people arent pleased with my work. Let me break it down:
In my old job i slowly but steadily got the feeling of being a true professional at my craft.
My boss always talked bad about me but i had the feeling that no matter what work i had i had to do, i would always accomplish it more or less.
Now i swapped jobs and my boss is really dissapointed in me. When he gives me work, i always end up fucking it up to the point of me not even being sure that im smart enough for my profession.
Nowadays i hate going to work... i always get this adrenaline feeling like im about to die. Its like im walking into a bear's cave. I doubt every thought that i have. Every step in my work feels wrong.
All in all im not sure i will ever amount to something. A career swap wouldnt help because i feel this way in every aspect of my life now.
Sorry for my grammatical mistakes.
Thx for just hearing me out.

2024.11.28 20:23 isuckatreaper29 Are the Beats Studio 3's really that bad for $89?
I know Beats isn't the best but I'm kinda on a budget for a pair of wireless headphones I can use for school, studying, and maybe making music. The Studio 3's are on sale right now brand new for $89 so I thought to get them for that. I don't want to go over my budget of $100 and they seem ok for that? What do you guys think?
