MONCLER / CHOE 2026

Revisited one of my all-time favorites when in Denver recently, first time seeing it in person in a decade.

"David Choe has protected himself using copyright laws to his favor following backlash over resurfaced audios where he admitted to “rapey behavior.”

The audio from the now-defunct podcast DVDASA from a 2014 episode were recirculated given that Choe stars in Netflix’s Beef. In the clips shared on Twitter, Choe makes some serious statements retelling a story where he forced a masseuse into performing oral sex on the actor..."

Boy, Netflix sure can pick 'em!

Biker AU - Character sheets

Here’s some quick and collective info about main and secondary characters from Biker AU.

Libations, the outpouring of liquid in sacrifice to the gods, is one of the most common sacred acts in hellenic polytheism. Libations were so common in every day life that they were often offered whenever wine was drunk, at every meal, and at symposia and dinner-parties. At symposia specifically there was an established order for libations - to Zeus Olympia and the Olympian gods, to the heroes, and to Zeus again (commonly Soter or Teleios, or Agathos Daimon). [1]

[...] Heralds at once poured water over their hands, and the young men filled the mixing-bowls to the brim with wine and went round the whole company, pouring some into each cup for a libation to [Zeus]. When they had poured their libations and drunk as much as they wished, the envoys set out [...] Iliad 9.170-80

A libation is an offering and a sacrifice of wastefulness - what is spilled onto the earth cannot be brought back. The most common libations are:

wine

water

oil

honey

In the Odyssey 10.518-26, Odysseus pours three libations when beseeching the dead - one of honey and milk, then wine, then water.

There were two ways to make libations, depending on who the offering is for:

sponde - ouranic, made from a hand-held jug or bowl and a controlled partial pour (often shared)

choe - khthonic, a larger vessel held or which stands on the ground, poured out in its entirety

While the choe is specifically khthonic, the sponde is common and easy to offer, and could be performed at any time - this is a distinction which can be up to the individual worshipper.

To simulate the outpouring of a libation onto the earth during an indoor ritual, pouring the libation from a cup into a dish or bowl would easily suffice. The offering could then later be poured outside or disposed of in another fitting matter. (Please be considerate when pouring libations outside.)

Interestingly, the word spondai also means armistice or peace treaty. Interesting, because war is blood spilled - a libation of sorts, too.
