### Hermeneutics/Semiotics/Psychophysics/Puso’y Tres ⛰️ According to the Lore by Main Author I am everybody but Andrew Otep Gideon. Fitting, given Katniss got 11 out of a Possible 12. It will reach Danger-level Delulu before I snap out of it. This always happens. I expect it at this point. What Possible Good Thing in Real World could happen to me in the next few weeks. A grade in CW 200? Unlikely. I will do something about it…later. It is 2:08AM. Nobody is reading me right now. Although I could be wrong. I am nearly always wrong when I think nobody is reading, it’s just I forget every time. Do I assume it’s everybody now? Is it only a very specific Silo of Peeps? Nobody questioning me? I think when people piss me off it’s because they want me to do something specific. Now I don’t think this is always the case. It’s because they’re either envious (unlikely, look at my Real Memories compared to positive things I remember or manage to remember, I forget them too just as easily as trauma), they’re genuinely curious how I will take it and have a Real Reason to stress-test me (whatever, I don’t particularly care anymore), or they’re just trolling or hate me still despite literally including Possible Sexual Assaulters into my Godhead. Who thought of that? They are too evil? When I say rapist or Rapist in that case, I am not referring to full-blown rape of the violent kind committed by all types of races of people, not just Pakistanis or Middle-Eastern men. Just passably off sexual encounters (at least to Godhead’s eyes, They would still work with it, no matter how disgusted They truly are with them, because these people just have the Right Patterns again. I’d rather not delineate what that means because I have never been physically raped, although I could suggest some things I think could be argued. I am willing to concede my worst offender Ace (my memory right now is somehow making him even worse than the helper/s even though I am using his picture although slightly edited with FaceApp to assert myself on social media) will somehow be retained as a Trace, perhaps not One of Them completely, but just in a standard-issue way where they could still be there but only barely passed. Well, I just realized that there was, indeed, a Trace of Andrew Otep Gideon in my butt incident. I have no idea what to make of this. Who was that? Maybe They (all of Them) are a ratio I don’t currently have the means to figure out. All of Them (12) with different ratios (some really small I cannot notice Them). So now, maybe the werewolf werewolf werewolf was someone too of the Godhead mainly. Where to start? Wolfhound and Magical Big Dog. But then I don’t know how it could have happened in November. Possibly, if “werewolf” was a priority, it couldn’t have been Jesus (at least, not majorly), but Peeta. If it was only “slightly relevant” it would be majorly Jesus (not a werewolf), but had a huge role too in retrospect knowing everything from my own name “father’s joy” not meaning God’s Joy in the first place. Wolfgang in my own name. Guadalope. I could have sworn it meant man-wolf. My name has “o” not u, ever since my “watchful grandfather” changed it to “o” (some of my mom’s brothers do not have “o”). Guadalupe is a Spanish, Arabic, and Latin-rooted name, likely meaning **"river of the wolf" or "hidden river"** (_wadi al-lubb_), which originated as a place name in Spain. It gained immense significance from the 1531 "Our Lady of Guadalupe" apparition in Mexico, becoming a deeply revered symbol of faith and identity for the Americas. **Origin and Linguistic Breakdown** - **Spanish/Arabic/Latin Roots:** The name is widely believed to be derived from the Arabic _wadi_ (river/valley) and the Latin _lupus_ (wolf), translating to "river of wolves" or "valley of the wolves". - **Alternative Theory:** Another interpretation is _Wad-al-luben_, meaning "hidden river" or "river of pebbles". - **Geographical Origin:** It was originally the name of a river, town, and mountain range in Extremadura, Spain, where a shrine to the Virgin Mary was established in the 13th century. Great, more proof. No sarcasm. I want to be delusional today because I am sad. **Key Details about Wulf:** Wulf is an ancient Germanic and Old English word for **"wolf," symbolizing strength, loyalty, fierceness, and cunning**. Often used as a given name or surname in early medieval times, it suggests a wild, free spirit and is related to names like Wolfgang or Wulfric. It represents a, "wolf," and can also signify bravery. • **Origin:** Derived from the Proto-Germanic word *_wulfaz_ and Old English _wulf_. • **Symbolism:** Traditionally represents strength, courage, loyalty, and independence, often associated with the wolf as a powerful animal in folklore. • **Historical Usage:** Used frequently in Germanic tribes, often to invoke the qualities of the animal, or in association with the god Wodanaz. • **Variations & Related Names:** Often appears in names as -wolf or -ulf (e.g., Wolfgang, Wulfstan, Adolf, Rudolf). • **Modern Usage:** It persists as a surname and a given name (sometimes spelled Wolf or Woolf), symbolizing a connection to nature, power, and a "wild" spirit. Great. I don’t know how bad it looks like. I made Jesus into a wolfhound first before knowing this. I am not Brotilde, but I am also Jesus, because my name has no “u” in it. I am LOTR’s Huan. Well, what is a wolfhound supposed to do? Go Wolfgang? Because that is synchronous with my dad’s birthday. WTF. In Old High German (OHG), the word for wolf is primarily **wolf,** which directly descends from the Proto-Germanic word. While _**wulf**_ is more commonly associated with Old English and some Northern Germanic dialects, the High German, or southern, variant solidified early on as "wolf.” I just cancelled my Shakespeare link. Which means I’m not “Fault in Our Stars.” Nobody dying I hope. I am still Brotilde now. I am “Old High German” (explains the 57 tbh from the other day). Proto-Germanic is “wulfaz.” Great. I am Old High. What does that mean? I am high and old? I am Mike (at least, his Herr Doktor Professor)? 57? Mike is currently, what is he? 1971. He is 55 this year. In two years I will complete my thingamajigs maybe. How do you do, fellow kids? Well, since I was in high school probably, I wore tight jeans or maybe this was in college. I wanted to be delusional I think. Kanye’s “I Am a God” (”since the tight jeans they never liked you—emphasis on “never”). Lore = confirmed. “Old niggas mentally still in high school.” (DND? Who says only high school people play this?) but of course, Stranger Things and Mike the character in that TV series. Well, I can argue that I’m Old English too. My first Mother Tongue (at least what I can recall). Except now with Philosophy in Ateneo I want to learn German first. Except I cannot afford Ateneo on my own. Which means that thing I am still not sure about is wrong, maybe. Well, the southern variant—convenient accident again—was wolf. I am not really Guadalupe (seeing as it’s named Northern Mindanao but in the grand scheme of things it’s really in the Southern Philippines). ### Dreams 🧫 Dreams from 2.17.26 1.

All of these small wooden blocks are still hanging around somewhere in my house. I thought, if I could make a product that you write stuff on—with a whiteboard surface but with an EvangeCube structure, it would be fun to organize your thoughts in that way. Weird phase of my life where I was very business-minded but very oblivious to what people actually need or want. 1. What about trans people? EvangeCube and trans people.

Could be related to Prof. Gabriela Lee. Vaguely weirded out that Shawntel really posted a picture with a Lea Sia (classmate in high school) lookalike at 1PM yesterday, on the 17th after I had that dream. Lea = meadow (for Sydney) and somehow related to Pittsburgh because Prof. Gabriela Lee (sounds like Lea) is her mentor who goes to UPitt for her PhD. I wonder why I suddenly dreamt of Pittsburgh when Gabriela Lee was the farthest thing from my mind yesterday. 1. Gabriela is a feminine given name of Hebrew origin, meaning "God is my strength" or "devoted to God". It is the Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese, and Latin form of the name Gabriel. The name is associated with the archangel Gabriel from the Bible and is popular in many cultures for its association with strength, grace, and femininity. **The Bump +3** 2. **Key Details About the Name Gabriela:** 1. **Origin:** Derived from the Hebrew name _Gavri'el_, meaning "God is my strength". 2. **Meaning:** "God is my strength," "God's able-bodied one," or "heroine of God". 3. **Gender:** Feminine (female form of Gabriel). 3. Well, what is this telling me but that one of either of them is the Holy Spirit, or that Celia Frank is talking to me about Pittsburgh. 1. "Lee" in Chinese most commonly refers to the surname **Li (李)**, meaning **"plum" or "plum tree"**. It is one of the world's most common surnames, particularly prevalent in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan (often spelled Lee, Li, or Lei). It can also correspond to other characters like 利 (benefit/profit). **Wikipedia +5** 2. **Key Details Regarding "Lee" (李) in Chinese:** 1. **Meaning:** The character 李 (Lǐ) specifically means "plum" or "plum tree". 2. **Origin:** It is linked to the Tang dynasty (618-906 AD) and is associated with the legendary minister Gao Yao and the founder of Taoism, Laozi. 3. **Usage:** It is the second most common surname in mainland China and very common in Hong Kong/Taiwan. 4. **Alternative Characters:** While 李 is the primary surname, other characters pronounced similarly (Li) include 利 (advantage), 黎 (multitude/dark), and 力 (power). 5. **Alternative Characters:** While 李 is the primary surname, other characters pronounced similarly (Li) include 利 (advantage), 黎 (multitude/dark), and 力 (power). 3. Maybe I need to research about Taoism too. Since in my Lore “meadow” is now a Valley-type, it means the alternative characters are also relevant to my life too. So advantage/multitude/dark/power. Well, that is vaguely true, or somewhat true. What is dark about it? I became increasingly evil these past few days because of rage. 1.
