I’m tired of fae romance where the faerie guy is just a guy with pointy ears, make that man a freak from the forest. Make him look like a forgotten pagan god. Give him a funky tail or something. GO NUTS!!!!

[ixmelodix]

I know I've been basically radio silent on here, oops >> I've been working on Rising Star, promise! It's just a bit slower going than Champion because things in my life lowkey exploded.

While you're ever so patiently waiting, however, you should come join me and my Eridan (Fyridan) Ampora on Disgrub! :D

INTERESTED IN A PERMANENTLY IN-CHARACTER HOMESTUCK (18+ ONLY) RP SERVER?

The reason why I probably won’t make many relationship charts would be the levels of simping these 4 would have towards Y/N Cookie in the chart. Not just these four, but any cookie with a chart for Y/N Cookie, which is a majority of them.

White Lily Cookie >>> Y/N Cookie: “A very, very, VERY cherished friend. I’ve..never felt this way towards a cookie until I had met them...”

Mercurial Knight Cookie >>> Y/N Cookie: “I feel at ease when I’m around them.”

Sliverbell Cookie >>> Y/N Cookie: “The warmest heart I’ve ever felt..”

Elder Faerie Cookie >>> Y/N Cookie: “You are the soul made for me and this land..and its bright future.”

See, I personally find this quest to find pagan/pre-Christian elements in Welsh/Irish literature quite unnerving - I don't know about anyone else.

There's something to be said about genuinely discovering pre-Christian elements in a narrative or story and that being where evidence and study has led you. But I see some people on this fruitless quest to find pagan elements in very Christian texts and sometimes it feels like if no pagan elements can be found, people start making stuff up out of whole cloth - and that can be very dangerous for already not-well known texts in minoritised languages!

There's already so much misinformation out there about Irish/Welsh texts and literature in general - so it hurts to see people carelessly adding to the misinformation either out of ignorance or lack of respect for the source material.

I promise you the source material being Christian doesn't ruin it - you can in fact, enjoy these myths without making them into something they're not!

tbh the survival of small languages and dialects of all stripes is deeply important to all our cultures-- and I don't mean this in a weirdo blood-and-soil nationalist way-- because it helps to keep different ways of thinking and seeing alive. Often, languages come with their own perceptions on time and colour and days and night, anything they could possibly have. Major languages too, but the smaller ones are always at risk of being lost to time... and with them go the context, the meanings and the different perspective that its individual speakers could have had.

For instance, in Scots, there's a fundamental minor difference to time and how it relates to the individual compared to standard English. In Scots you can often hear folks saying phrases like 'that's me away' (or awa' in very broad Scots, pronounced a bit like awah), when you're looking to leave a place. Taken literally in English that would be incorrect, as you are not in fact physically leaving, and it's not like you're watching your own body wander off out the door. However, in this case the 'what is about to be', and the 'what is right now' are functionally the same thing. Time becomes a little malleable in the Scots way of looking at it.

Of course this is hardly the only example and I am sure people can add their own examples of similar but... it's interesting to think about, isn't it? How your language approaches both the physical and the abstract, and how its constructed your brain to think. Because language physically shapes your brain, and knowing more is always good for the old grey matter.

Hey guys, faerie here! I've been doing some reorganizing over here, and this blog (ixmelodix) is turning into my main blog.

Though I'll still reblog everything from there onto here (for a while, anyway), ageofaquarius-fic is the new home for everything AoA!

If you're only interested in AoA updates, feel free to switch your follow to over there, I promise I won't be offended <3

Hey everyone, faerie here! I'm doing some reorganizing, as you can see. From here out, this is the new home of everything Age of Aquarius, and ixmelodix is turning into a main blog for myself :)

I'll still reblog anything important posted on here to ixmelodix, though :)

I love the way faerie speech lowkey resembles the romantic way the victorian and edwardian lot talk. shit like “You are all under the earth and sky that I do love” and “The stars will go out before I forget you” compared with “My heart beats for you. Only ever you” and “You are the first dream, the only dream I ever was unable to stop myself from dreaming” like god help me

Thank you o/////o

A lot of the music stuff I already have in my library, but I do go searching for music sometimes when I don't have something that fits. I don't really know how to describe it any better than that?

And when you get home you'll have another chapter to read ;) It's going up very very shortly.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

@ixmelodix how are you so GOOD, oh my GOG, this chapter was beautiful and sad and wonderful and I just have no words to communicate how much I felt reading it, it's so so so good and bad and sad and just *everything*, I loved it, so so much, I rarely cry at fanfics, but this made me bawl internally and silently cry on the outside, once I'm home I'm going to have a screaming match with a mirror and then proceed to make my bf read it and then proceed to babble on about it to the guy Im usually yelling about this fic shdvdbdhshshhs

Also THE MUSIC man it's so perfect where do u get it ohmygod
