Astarion Approves & Lord Astarion Approves
everyone shut the fuck up and listen. i love decadence, i love filth, i love perversion; i love depravity and deviance and hedonism. i love corruption, i love the obscene. i love debauchery, i love all things sordid, i love the thrill of scandal. i love reveling in being a sicko. it brings me closer to god
20 May 2023- and we're back to the decadents! read the yellow book for pleasure, and read about the yellow book for research. not the most multifarious day, but a very fun one nonetheless.

"Cereal milk" is a cuss word
Amo pessoas com insônia, pessoas frágeis corroídas pelo vício, pessoas que conhecem a ruína e a decadência... Existe nelas um fulgor que o senso comum nunca terá!!!

I don't know what's going on. I don't know where I am. I cannot name it. I don't know it. Bloom or decay? Renaissance or decadence? Am I living through my death or have I been dying through my life?

People: get stuck on The Picture of Dorian Gray chapter 11 because it's too slow-paced/too much theory/too much description/too hard to read/not really interesting to them
Me: gets stuck on The Picture of Dorian Gray chapter 11 because I gotta look up every word I don't understand which subsequently leads to a further research as the word brings me to one curious topic after another and/or the thoughts in the text send me rolling ass over teakettle into a myriad of connections that open into enlightenments and realisations which I gotta contemplate and write down and process, and the chapter is full of those, and so I read a half a paragraph and for the next hour+ go down the rabbit hole, you see my problem
Desserts - Zesty Lemon Loaf This dressed-up lemon loaf has a subtle ginger undertone, similar to pound cake. Grand Marnier's decadence elevates this lemon loaf to a higher level. Excellent with ice wine or Earl Grey tea.
"It is thy mouth that I desire, Iokanaan. Thy mouth is like a band of scarlet on a tower of ivory. It is like a pomegranate cut in twain with a knife of ivory. The pomegranate flowers that blossom in the gardens of Tyre, and are redder than roses, are not so red. The red blasts of trumpets that herald the approach of kings, and make afraid the enemy, are not so red. Thy mouth is redder than the feet of those who tread the wine in the wine-press. It is redder than the feet of the doves who inhabit the temples and are fed by the priests. It is redder than the feet of him who cometh from a forest where he hath slain a lion, and seen gilded tigers. Thy Mouth is like a branch of coral that fishers have found in the twilight of the sea, the coral that they keep for the kings!.. It is like the vermilion that the Moahites find in the mines of Moab, the vermilion that the kings take from them. It is like the bow of the King of the Persians, that is painted with vermilion, and is tipped with coral. There is nothing in the world so red as thy mouth…
Suffer me to kiss thy mouth."
