woe, crinkled tissue upon ye

[olrinarts]

spent the stream doing up the chimes of bone designs and you can see how much i cared about the designs at a glance

(heket i'm so sorry but you're twelve, work with machinery, and would shank anyone who put you in a dress, so until i get less lazy you're gonna have the most boring design)

(Kallamar's comfortably he/him here, he just sees 0 reason not to wear pretty clothes and so he's gonna be the one i stuff into pretty clothes since everyone else is allergic to it)

Hoodoo Wind Chimes For Protection.

Example Photo

This is something you'll see in the more lower, swampy areas of the deep south like Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, but not so much the main cities.

The Bone Wind Chimes: These can be made from any type of bones you find or attracted to, you can find your own bones or buy your bones. Bones are a good juju (see post on jujus). These wind chimes are made to help keep Haints away or from entering your home.

Then say a protection prayer apon it.

Having a dedicated tattooist is such a luxury, such a damn thrill. I can just tell the roomies "I went and saw Jay," and they'll know what I've been up to

Finally figured out what to do with the rest of my deer bones.

I had a little metal wind spinner thingy that i’ve never known what to do with so I strung them all together. I put little beads next to the bones so when I hang it outside and it blows in the wind it’ll clink.

Fun fact!

anyways do you think Martha Wells will write about any kind of oppression that is not literally just "dangerous people are oppressed because they're dangerous" in her new book, Witch King????

Because this has been the whole basis for the oppression in:

The Murderbot Diaries

The Books of the Raksura

The Fall of Ile-Rien

City of Bones

and that's just fucking racist.

Murderbot is distrusted and feared because it's got guns in its arms and could crash a space station into a planet in twenty seconds if it felt like it. It's literally confirmed that it can hack even high security government systems without a single moment of trouble. It spies on everyone around it at all times, even after it's no longer forced to.

The Raksura are distrusted and feared because they literally evolved to mimic other species so they could sneak into their cities and eat them once they'd gained their trust. And also they look exactly like their cousin species, which still does literally mimic other species to eat them!!!! The Raksura are stronger and faster than any other sentient species they meet. They don't need weapons because they have razor sharp fangs and disembowling claws and even spines on their backs. Not to mention they could just pick you up and drop you.

In The Fall of Ile-Rien, wizards are distrusted and feared because most wizards literally just use magic to be evil and torture people. People who have spells cast on them are shunned and ostracized (except when they're not because Martha Wells forgot about her own rule) because a lot of the time, the spells cast on people are fucking curses to make them kill people and go out of control. Including curses that takes years to take effect.

In City of Bones, the main character's people were literally genetically engineered to replace everyone else after the apocalypse.

Martha Wells has written oppression to always be "dangerous people are oppressed because they're dangerous" and that is literally just fucking racism and so many other forms of bigotry it's not even funny!

Real fucking people are not oppressed because otherwise they'll fucking kill everyone around them.

Her work also relies very heavily on biological essentialism, and gender essentialism.

to be clear, we have an agreement that i will do this for them. other details are that their bones will be cast into steel specifically for this purpose after their death and that the rest of their body will be cremated
