American School Oil Portrait, possibly depicting Paul Cuffe. Currently in the collections of the New England Historical Genealogical Society
Paul Cuffe, youngest son of Kofi Slocum and Ruth Moses of the Wampanoag Nation, was born on this day in 1759! He was a successful whaler, merchant, and abolitionist. He ran through British blockages to Nantucket delivering goods during the Revolutionary War, and had a highly successful shipping business up and down the Atlantic Coast.
There are very few surviving images of Cuffe, but I believe this portrait to be more accurate than the other commonly attributed one. Here is a good list of all the portraits known to be Cuffe and those that might possibly be him.
In 2009 the New Bedford Whaling Museum held a public symposium celebrating Paul Cuffe’s legacy, and you can read all the papers right here!

Limbus Company x Epithet Erased (AU?)
Silly idea based off something me and my partner were talking about and I wanted to write down my thoughts on it since I can't really draw anything at the moment. It's mostly rambles for how the City would work with Epithet's rules.
There's room for improvement, these are just based off my first thoughts and sorta "going for the obvious".
Putting a read more so I don't present a wall. Some spoilers abound up to Canto V of Limbus, so be aware
Setting:
E.G.O. and Epithets are basically the same thing. Now, that's not to say people weren't learning they were Inscribed before L Corp and the Smoke War, but it was basically unheard of.
This is because Singularities are basically people with strong enough Epithet's figuring out how to Transcribe them into everyday objects or other such in a commercial fashion. This is a closely guarded secret of the Wings, as a rule of the Head, so that's why the Inscribed are practically unheard of until The White Nights and Dark Days. The City is still as hostile as you know it normally.
How does this work with the Whales, you may ask? Whales probably work the same as usual, but it's because they've parasitized enough Inscribed over the ages that the Whales themselves are basically all Inscribed with "Amalgam" or something akin to that. And then U Corp made the Tuning Forks out of them.
L Corp's E.G.O. equipment is basically Abnormalities Transcribing their Epithets into the extracted equipment, allowing any person, Inscribed or Mundie, to use that Epithet to some degree (since Abnos are derived from/created by humans anyway). Binah understands how this works and that's about it.
Effloresced E.G.O./Distortion is a byproduct of The White Nights and Dark Days basically allowing the City to realize there are a lot of Inscribed, in fact, Moses has deduced every person actually is Inscribed, but it's a matter of those people having their Epiphany, and how they handle it. Basically, works the same as E.G.O./Distortion manifestation anyway just with fancier words.
The Sinners/Limbus Company:
Limbus Company, or rather Faust, has figured out how to "Artificially" Inscribe the Sinners, which is how the other E.G.O. manifest through the Mephistopheles. All twelve also happen to be naturally Inscribed and have had their Epiphany, though their Epithets are not their base E.G.O..
(All of these Epithets come from their titles, extra explanation given for those that don't match said title 1:1)
Yi Sang - Pseudonym: Derived from his title "Ha Yong", another pseudonym author Kim Hae-Gyeong/Yi Sang went under. His Mirror technology was made by Transcribing his Epithet into a Mirror, allowing the Sinners to peer into the infinite possibilities. Without the Mirror, he is a natural mimic, able to briefly become someone else or use another person's Epithet, but it's not as strong.
Faust - Walpurgisnacht: Literally the holiday of the same name. She has some control of fire but is otherwise easily described as "a witch". She can use her fires to manifest familiars, or "cast spells" to cause debuffs
Don Quixote - Dream: Translation of the first half her title "Sueño Imposible". She leans even more into her "Righteous Fixer" persona, and things she "believes" are more likely to "become real". Example, she believes Rociante (her shoes) give her the speed of a horse, they will do so, or if she says her spear will pierce through anything, it can. This doesn't work well when her spirit is broken. (She runs on wish power basically)
Ryoshu - Incoherent: The part of her title "支離滅裂" literally means "Incoherent". Similar to Molly's "Dumb" Epithet, she is capable of rendering foes basically harmless by scrambling their brains, so to say. Also able to make it impossible to read something, but that's situational. She also leans into it with her S.A.N.G.R.I.A. by making herself "Incoherent" to those she has deemed unworthy of her words. (She's not using her power, she just chooses to do that).
Meursault - Sun: An exceedingly powerful heat-based Epithet on someone who actively chooses not to use it. It doesn't hurt him in a physical sense like Mera's Fragile, he just hates the amount of light it produces. He can summon sunlight, even in the depths of an L Corp branch, or simply clear the sky. It's also strong enough to melt through most barriers, just given how hot the Sun can get. It's power is still pretty low since he doesn't actively use it, but it seems to subconsciously manifest sometimes. His body also runs naturally warm due to his Epithet.
Hong Lu - Unreal: Translated from his title "太虛幻境". He's not really used to what it can do, so it's mostly "parlor tricks" like making small illusions. Due to him not using it much, his illusions are easy to see through, as they all have a jade-like color to them. He eventually picks up that he can make himself, or the other Sinners, disappear for a time, but that's currently a frowned-upon tactic as he once made Sinclair disappear for three days because he couldn't figure out how turn off his Epithet. It was only when he passed out from fatigue did Sinclair come back. (He was merely invisible, but that didn't make him feel better)
Heathcliff - Revenge: A Counter-based Epithet. He deals back twice as much damage as he takes. Impressively strong compared to others at the start, since it puts him at a pretty high power level, but given he hasn't figured out any other uses for it other than "take a hit, deal it back", he plateau's pretty quick. He's alright with that, since his Stamina is pretty high, but he can only take so much of a beating before his power means nothing because he's out of the fight.
Ishmael - Hearse: A surprisingly versatile Epithet. She's figured out how to manifest her power both offensively and defensively. On offense, she can call forth spirits of the departed to attack, while on defense she manifests a coffin as a shield. She doesn't like to talk about how everyone on the bus has seen a familiar spirit fight for her at some point.
Rodion - Split: Translated from her title "РАСКО́Л". Compared to everyone on the bus, she's more like Meursault where she doesn't use it much. Honestly, in terms of the story the last time she probably used it was after Canto III where she was able to get more chicken skewers by "splitting them up" between everyone. Other than that, she only really uses it to cheat at gambling, because no matter what she can "split" the pot and take home some cash.
Emil Sinclair - Bird: Translated from his title "Vogel". It's practically useless at the start, where at best he could summon a weak, and I do mean weak eggshell shield. With time he's managed to give himself wings at times, but they're not able to carry him yet. He's still learning how to use his Epithet effectively, and it only seems to grow exponentially more powerful, but for now the best he can do is tame seagulls for Ryoshu.
Outis - Nobody: Translated from her title and name "Ουτις". A fully realized parallel to Hong Lu's Epithet. She is able to make herself and others disappear for a short time perfectly, and has used this power to protect Dante from harm by making them invisible during combat. Beyond that, no one is quite sure what it does, and they're not sure why that is.
Gregor - Vermin: Literal translation of his title "Ungeziefer". He hates his Epithet more than anyone else on the bus. If Meursault and Rodion barely use theirs, he never uses it. Because of Hermann and the Smoke War, it's actually really powerful and is how his right arm manifested. She used his Epithet to Transcribe his mutations onto other G Corp soldiers. This was also how he became the poster boy for the war, he had control over his soldiers, no matter how much he hated it. He can command both total control of actual pests like insects, and mind control people like Rats or other such "lowlifes" widely considered by the City to be nusiances.
Dante - ?: Honestly, they don't know their Epithet yet/anymore, or if the Golden Boughs or their old head have anything to do with it. The clock head itself seems to be Inscribed with "Restore", but they don't know that or if that's the word. The pact they made with the Sinners is how they're able to die and not lose their Epithets as they are literally rewound back before the Epithets "become free", much to the chagrin of some Sinners like Gregor or Ishmael.

"Hark ye yet again—the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? Sometimes I think there’s naught beyond. But ’tis enough."
- Moby-Dick, chapter 36
18 Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”
19 And the Lᴏʀᴅ said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you the name, ‘The Lᴏʀᴅ,’ and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one shall see me and live.”
21 And the Lᴏʀᴅ continued, “See, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock,
22 and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;
23 then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”
- Exodus, chapter 33
Dissect him how I may, then, I but go skin deep; I know him not, and never will. But if I know not even the tail of this whale, how understand his head? much more, how comprehend his face, when face he has none? Thou shalt see my back parts, my tail, he seems to say, but my face shall not be seen. But I cannot completely make out his back parts; and hint what he will about his face, I say again he has no face.
- Moby-Dick, chapter 86
What good is a sign from God if you can't understand it? He says he has a face, but what does that mean if we can never see it? Can we ever reach a lower layer of understanding than skin deep? Or is Ahab striking at an empty mask? No face. No reason, no grace, no mercy. Nothing to understand at all.

Avatar Game: List as many Christain allegories/metaphors/parallels as you notice in the films.
Eywa = Yaweh backwards
atokirina (woodsprites) = angels
Jake's crucifixtion T pose when the sprites landed on him
Protagonist is a religious messiah (exploited by the in universe justified Toruk Makto status)
Immaculate conception of Grace's Avatar to concieve Kiri
Kiri = Jesus or even Moses
Payakan swallowing Lo'ak to make Tsaheylu = Jonah and the whale/fish
Patriarchal nuclear family structure/everyone takes Fathers surname
Mentioning of "demons"
Eywa has a gender (I know creation gods and spirits can be referred to with human pronouns and mother-goddesses are not Christain invention, but #1 makes me think Eywa is just gender swapped God lol)

I want to see a Leviathan Servant with the staff of Moses as his/her weapon
Well there's a fairly convincing theory from Beast's Lair that Watcher from Strange Fake is Leviathan (they look like a whale, Fate Extra has some throwaway lines that connect Moby Dick to Leviathan, Captain Ahab is one of Watcher's Shadows, Flat's mentioning of rebirth in Hero's Journey and Jonah being swallowed by the whale, etc).
So...maybe if we ever get a Strange Fake collab? I think they'd probably save the staff of Moses for Moses if they ever want to do an Ozy-focused event.

Breaches like a whale 🐟
I need Omega Mika to be in heat RIGHT NOW, I need to tease that man and have him grinding on me and whining and pawing at me and begging for my knot, I need to knot him multiple times and fuck him till he can't think of being anything other than my mate and having my pups, I need to mark him and hear him yowl when I do it. I need Moses to guide me cus none of these words are in the Torah
-Glub Glub 🐟
I feel like torah and omegaverse aren’t allowed to be in the same paragraph 😭
fully agree tho, I think he’d skip suppressants on purpose while shu isn’t there to manage him so that he gets an excuse to be railed and knotted. he’s just begging for it like a whore you need to give him what he wants
