Gáttir allar áðr gangi fram um skoðask skyli, um skyggnast skyli, því at óvíst er at vita hvar óvinir sitja á fleti fyrir

— Translations — Within the gates | ere a man shall go, (Full warily let him watch,) Full long let him look about him; For little he knows | where a foe may lurk, And sit in the seats within.

-Translated by Henry Adams Bellows

At every doorway, ere one enters, one should spy around, one should pry around, for uncertain is the witting, that there be no foeman sitting, within, before one on the floor.

-Translated by Olive Bray

At every doorway before you enter, you should look around, you should take a good look around — for you never know where your enemies might be seated within.

-Translated by Jackson Crawford

Regarding each opening, before proceeding, it pays to be cautiously hesitant; one can’t know for certain where possible assailants may be lurking in the rooms ahead.

-Translated by Douglas Dutton

Have thy eyes about thee When thou enterest Be wary alway Be watchful alway For one never knoweth When need will be To meet hidden foe in the hall

-Translated by Lee M. Hollander

All door-ways, before going further, should be looked to; for difficult it is to know where foes may sit within a dwelling

-Translated by Benjamin Thorpe

No thoughts head empty just Saeyoung

Just imagine Saeyoung holding you tightly in his arms as you both lay down together on his bed. He has this happy smile on his face as he left many but small kisses on many parts of your face. Words can't express how much he loves you, you gave him hope and so much more, you are really an angel and he wants to show you how much you mean to him.

An arm wrapped around you, his hand rubbing slow and small circles on your back gently while his other hand was holding your own. His fingers brushing gently over your knuckles where you could even feel his engagement ring. He just has this smile on his face as he gives you more kisses, he can't help it, you are just so cute!

He makes many jokes and talks to you about pranks he has done in the past while giggling softly, his smile widening after listening to you being happy and laughing, it makes him feel so happy and warm inside. You two laugh together pretty much every night as you both cuddle and it has always been so nice. Saeyoung can have many weird but funny and amazing ideas and he is gonna tell you about them If you wish to hear! You often wonder how he comes up with a lot of them, honestly.

Ran your hand through his hair and he will absolutely melt. Sometimes he tends to act like a cat and rub his head more on your hand just to see your beautiful and adorable smile. Playing with his hair makes him feel so relaxed since it feels so nice. If he could, he wished he could stay next to you there forever, just giving each other affection and laughing through everything.

If you want to, you can try rubbing his shoulders gently, it's another thing he loves and he will have this grin on his face as his eyes are gazing with so much love at yours. Even the smallest things you do for him make him love you more and more, like I said before, words can't explain how much he adores you! Just rubbing his shoulders in the right spots makes him melt onto you. He remembered back then where when he went to bed, he would be tense, his whole arm pretty much sore from working, but thanks to you, not anymore.

Saeyoung recently brought some star and other space related stickers that he put on the ceiling and some on the wall so every night, it would feel like you two are outside stargazing under the so so many stars out there. It feels quite nice falling asleep with these stickers surrounding you two. Just burying your face in his chest and him putting his chin on your head is enough to make him cling to you like a koala.

If you had any bad days, Saeyoung will do his best to make you smile once more and snuggle with you under the covers and if you are up for it, why not build a tent or something like a small castle and lay under it together? You two could watch your favorite movie or anything that brings you comfort. Don't forget his affection as well! He will hold you and whisper the sweetest words in your ear as he holds you close as he could, rubbing your back or shoulders gently like how you do it to him so you could relax your tense muscles.

Sometimes, Saeyoung loves to hide his face in your neck or your chest to listen to your heartbeat since it calms him down and it's a nice reminder that everything is okay now. Stroke or play with his hair or even massage his shoulders and he will melt and get sleepy slowly but he never goes to sleep without making sure that he has his arms wrapped around you and holding you as close as possible.

You have to convince him to let you go if you wanna escape his grip. He enjoys every second that he spends with you and he is so, so happy and grateful for everything.

Words can't express how much he loves you, he will do anything for you to be safe and happy. Feeling his engagement ring on his fingers is a great reminder that you both will be happy and laugh through everything together. He loves you so much.

100 shadow work/journal prompt ideas

I enjoy journaling. It’s almost like therapy, but you’re figuring it out by yourself. You’re trying to figure out your own issues by putting it on paper, sometimes it’s for self reflecting or for figuring yourself out. This is very similar to shadow work. 

What is shadow work? 

Shadow work is addressing your shadow self, the side of you that you bury deep down and avoid. It’s your unconscious mind, and it is important to uncover this side of you in order to achieve your highest self. There are multiple ways to do this, but the most known (and most effective in my opinion), is journaling. I thought I should share 100 prompts that really make you think. 

1. What was one time you remember feeling wronged as a child? How did you react? Has this affected you into adulthood? How?

2. Think about one time where you’ve felt betrayed. What would you say to the person who broke your trust?

3. Write about a time you felt let down by someone you’d previously looked up to.

4. What’s one trait you see in other people that you wish you had. Why do you not possess this characteristic yourself?

5. Do you often find yourself over-thinking what you’ve said or how you’ve acted? What usually triggers this?

6. What were your parents’/guardians’ core values while you were growing up? Do you hold these today or do they differ? How so?

7. What are your core values as a human being? What’s the most important to you? What are you morally passionate about?

8. What tends to trigger envy for you? Why do you think this is?

9. What are the first signs that your mental health is dipping?

10. When are you hardest on yourself? Why? Where do you think this stems for? Why do you put yourself under so much pressure? Why are you so reluctant to be kind to yourself?

11. How do you react when you’re angry? Is this similar to other people who have been in your life since childhood? Why do you think this is?

12. What triggers you? Can you identify where this came from?

13. How do you perceive failure? What is your definition of failure? How does it make you feel? Are you afraid of it? Why might this be? How did your parents/guardians react to failure?

14. What situations make you feel less than or not good enough? Why do you think this is?

15. What is your relationship with your parents and/or siblings like? How was it as a child compared to now? Why do you think this is?

16. What parts of your parents/guardians growing up do you see in yourself now? When did these begin to become apparent?

17. What toxic traits have you recognised in your parents? How did it make you feel when you realized that your parents weren’t perfect? Do you also possess these traits yourself?

18. What are your toxic traits? How do these present themselves? How do you project these onto others?

19. What aspects of yourself would you like to improve? Why? Has anyone in your past ever made comments suggesting that you should? If so, how did this make you feel?

20. How do you feel about who you are as a human? Why?

21. How often do you forgive yourself? What kind of things do you feel you need to be forgiven for? Why is this?

22. Write about a time where you messed up and needed forgiveness. Did you ask to be forgiven? Did you apologize? How did it play out?

23. Do you form obsessive or unhealthy attachments easily? Why do you think this might be; do you have a fear of change/abandonment/rejection? Or, on the other hand, do you find it difficult to form emotional attachments; do you struggle with commitment or get restless staying in one place for a certain amount of time? Where do you think this stems from?

24. How do you fill your time when bored? What gives you enjoyment? What self-care do you regularly practise?

25. What negative emotions do you tend to avoid? Why might this be?

26. What negative emotions do you actually feel quite comfortable sitting with? Why might this be?

27. Write about one person you’ve never forgiven. What happened and why did you not forgive them? Was it warranted? How has this event affected you going forward? Do you think you could forgive them now? How did you move on from this?

28. How do you carry the weight of your past trauma? How has it affected you?

29. How did you process emotions as a child, teenager, and young adult? How do you process negative emotions now? Has this changed over time?

30. How do you enforce boundaries? How do you feel when people overstep them? How do you react?

31. What is the biggest lie you consistently tell yourself? Why?

32. What misconceptions have you noticed about your harbor? Can you think about where these started?

33. What are your preconceptions about femininity? Why do you think this is? Where did they come from?

This is your friendly, very firm daily reminder that the tags ‘no archive warnings apply’ and ‘creator chose not to use archive warnings’ are NOT the same thing.

‘No archive warnings apply’ means that your fic does not fall under the category of R*pe/non con, Graphic violence, Major character death, or Underage relationships.

‘Creator chose not to use archive warnings’ means that either you do have one of the four official archive warnings that apply to your fic and you didn’t want to spoil it, or you’re not sure whether your fic falls under any of the official warnings or not.

If your fic has underage, r*pe/non con, a major character death, and/or graphic violence, DO NOT TAG AS ‘NO ARCHIVE WARNINGS APPLY.’ Even if you want to avoid spoilers or you added the warnings in the tags, this is still the wrong thing to do. People that get triggered (or just plain and simple don’t want to read content that falls under the warnings) filter by ‘No Archive Warnings Apply’. They want to avoid a situation where they hurt themselves because they consumed certain content. AO3’s phenomenal filtering system helps with this tremendously, so authors, let’s actually use it, please.

Simply put: do not ever tag something that might fall under an archive warning as ‘no archive warnings apply’. ever.

‘But I included trigger warnings in the beginning notes.’ is something you need to to do in addition to properly tagging it. There is no reason for you to want to tag it ‘no archive warnings apply’ when they do apply.

‘But the warning (ex: major character death) will spoil the fic!’ Okay. Here is what you do: you tag it as ‘Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings.’ Next, add ‘read notes for trigger warnings’ to the Additional Tags section. Then, in your end notes, explain the trigger warnings. In your beginning notes, say ‘Read end notes for trigger warnings (contain spoilers).’ AO3 automatically has a link for people to skip the fic and go to the end notes and check. People can choose for themselves if they want to walk in blindly or have the warning first. They can exit if they see something that bothers them. This avoids spoilers and yet takes the precautions of avoiding triggering your reader.

It’s not that hard. Be courteous.

sleepy subway serendipity | tasm!peter parker x reader

summary: a stranger on the train ride home brightens up tuesday, the worst day of your week

warnings : swearing, discussion of theoretical danger to reader (not anything insane), fem!reader

1.9k word count

Tuesdays were hard for you. Your job had you waking up earlier than any self-loving person should wake up, and working later than any person ever deserves to work. The train home was always brutal, but Tuesdays were the worst. On Tuesdays, you worked far into what you considered to be your bedtime and always ended up having to take a late subway ride back to your “quaint” apartment. It was 11:23 PM and you had barely managed to hop onto the train before the doors had shut on you. As the train whirred off into the night, you took account of your surroundings. Despite it being later than you’d willingly stayed up in a year, the people of the “city that never sleeps” were in fact not sleeping. In fact, it seemed that every last one of them was on the downtown-bound 2, alongside you. As you did a quick scan of the car, you weighed your options.

[id: Screenshots Of Tiktok Captions. The Images Say, “but The Only Reason We Still Love Princess Diana
[id: Screenshots Of Tiktok Captions. The Images Say, “but The Only Reason We Still Love Princess Diana

[id: screenshots of tiktok captions. the images say, “but the only reason we still love princess diana is because she did not have the time to disappoint us.”]

begging queer kids to read up on princess diana’s involvement with the community. yes, she was a rich, pretty monarch. yes, she died young.

but the reason why queer people love her is because she used her privilege during the aids crisis to advocate for sick queer men, when very few others would - much less someone of her status.

diana spent years advocating for the health and care of queer people with hiv/aids. in 1987, at the height of the epidemic, she opened the first specialist clinic dedicated to treating aids patients (the first clinic of it’s kind in the uk).

she also fought public hysteria by hugging and shaking bare hands with aids patients, at a time when aids was thought to be spread by skin to skin contact. not only that, she visited patients in the clinic regularly and even comforted them through their sickness.

and when queen elizabeth told her to try focusing on “something more pleasant”?

diana ignored her and kept fighting.

and this is only her work towards the aids crisis. she publicly called out the royal family, brought attention to numerous world issues, and was known as an advocate for empathy and kindness. she’s known and loved as the people’s princess for good reason

He loves how proud you look when you introduce him as your lover

When you kiss him good luck before any mission

He loves how you take care of him when he shifts into tiny beings

Your scent, your natural scent when you just woke up and he can’t just get enough of it

He likes that you care for his opinion

Your giggles at his jokes or sarcasm

When you latch onto him if something frighten you or call for his help {he likes to be the hero}

The way you take his teasing but easily can shut him down with praise and kisses
