oh what th e hell

I accidentally pressed enter on the name.

Was this here before or am I stupid? when was this updated?? I swear this wasn't here before because I know i've pressed enter on accident before and it was BLANK.

Okay i redid it with all the options, and it somewhat changes depending on whether you start on day 1 or day 2. Day 1 is in English while Day 2 is in Portuguese.

They/Them = Sovereign (Day 1), then Monarca (Monarch) (Day 2)

He/Him = Master (Day 1), then Mistre (Master) (Day 2)

She/Her = Mistress (Day 1), then Mestra (Mistress) (Day 2)

Scheherazade, Georges Barbier, from a series of drawings based on the ballets of Vaslav Nijinsky (1913)

Betrayed by his wife, the king of Persia, Shahriyar, decides to exact vengeance by marrying a different virgin every day and having her put to death after the wedding night. To put an end to the massacre, the daughter of the grand vizier, Scheherazade, offers herself to the sultan. On the evening of the wedding, she begins to tell him a riveting story, but is careful to leave it unfinished. Desperate to learn how it goes on, Shahriyar affords her a stay of execution. Scheherazade continues for one thousand and one nights, at the end of which the sultan abandons his revenge. Captivated by the imagination and the storytelling talents of his new wife, he decides to keep her close by him forever. Intelligent and cultivated, Scheherazade is a positive incarnation of a woman who frees herself from male oppression by her ingenuity and mastery of language.

Chapter 1 of the second part of Tom a Lincolne is very fascinating. Because it is very much different from the narrative we all know. In Johnson’s text, Arthur gets to rule his empire and reach old age. And, at his old age, Arthur decides to read religious texts so as to prepare his soul for the hereafter. He does this for seven years.

At the end of those seven years, Arthur is dying. On his deathbed, he gathers his wife (who may or may not be Guinevere), his son Tom and his ex lover Angelica and his whole court. He drops the biggest bombshell by telling everyone that he cheated on his wife and had an illegitimate son with someone else. Then, he dies, leaving the court in disarray.

King Arthur’s widow swears revenge, Angelica feels humiliated, Tom feels ashamed of being a bastard and Tom’s wife Anglitora regrets ever marrying her husband (because of his bastardy).

Leave it to Arthur to wreak havoc one way or another after he dies. 😆
