#We Own The Skies

[segemarldoodles]

Tracks 1 Against A Sea Of Troubles, 4 We Own The Skies, 7 To Start a Fire, and 11 I've Seen The Sun were the main inspiration for the doodle, but the whole album is great

??????????????????

surely not. are you implying that during date plan natsume was struggling with coming up with an idea and not only went to tsumugi, a completely irrelevant third-party with probably ZERO dating experience for advice, but then used tsumugis OWN IDEAL FIRST DATE as a base to work off of rather than, oh, i dont know, GOING WITH YOUR IDEAL DATE????? WHY ARE U BASING UR DATE PLAN ON TSUMUGIS IDEAL DATE AND NOT UR OWN ARE U STUPID. ARE U GAY. my eyes must be deceiving me bc aint no way

Considering what NATO did (ot the lack of action), we have to give Ze credit for not screaming at them and calling them names five minutes straight in his latest nightly video.

idk how to even like. put this pain into words and i would normally vent about this shit on twitter, but the person its about follows me on there so like. anybody have skills for coping with the crushing realization that the person u love most in this world and have built ur life around sees ur current situation together as a temporary hurdle that's preventing them from their truest and happiest self which. is separate from u entirely? anyone know how to deal with this?

Hearth to hearth, the Flame of War went.

Over snow-blasted mountains and amongst the trees of tangled forests, hiding from the enemies that prowled the skies. Through long, bitterly cold nights where the wind howled as it tried to wipe out any trace of that flame.

But the wind did not succeed, not against the flame of the queen.

So hearth to hearth, it went.

To remote villages where people screamed and scattered as a young-faced woman descended from the skies on a broom, waving her torch high.

Not to signal them, but the few women who did not run. Who walked toward the flame, the rider, as she called out, "Your queen summons you to war. Will you fly?"

Trunks hidden in attics were thrown open. Folded swaths of red cloth pulled from within. Brooms left in closets, beside doorways, tucked under beds, were brought out, bound in gold or silver or twine. And swords-ancient and beautiful—were drawn from beneath floorboards, or hauled down from haylofts, their metal shining as bright and fresh as the day they had been forged in a city now lying in ruin.

Witches, the townsfolk whispered, husbands wide-eyed and disbelieving as the women took to the skies, red cloaks billowing. Witches amongst us all this time.

Village to village, where hearths that had never once gone fully dark blazed in answer.

Always one rider going out, to find the next hearth, the next bastion of their people.

Witches, here amongst us. Witches, now going to war.

A rising tide of witches, who took to the skies in their red cloaks, swords strapped to their backs, brooms shedding years of dust with each mile northward.

Witches who bade their families farewell, offering no explanation before they kissed their sleeping babes and vanished into the starry night.

Mile after mile, across the darkening world, the call went out, ceaseless and unending as the eternal flame that passed from hearth to hearth.

"Fly, fly, fly!" they shouted. "To the queen! To war!"

Far and wide, through snow and storm and peril, the Crochans flew.

mobius when he realizes that he can’t marry loki and be together forever (he’s a god a glorious purpose and mobius is letting time pass)

Cue Mobius seeing this post, realizing after everything he's been through his version of letting time pass is gonna involve countless variations of the hero's journey to get Loki back when the two of them had just wanted to save the day, grab a snack, and get back to building IKEA furniture everyday office shenanigans together 😭😭

Sunshine and I went to the lost trades fair and asked the rest of the family what they wanted for souvenirs

The answer was, universally, “SWORD.”

Sooooo…

Enough swords to outfit an army - or at least every member of the tribe

[slothquisitor]

I’ve got almost 8k written of the eldritch horror au but like…I’ve got soooooo many essays to grade this weekend, and I just want to keep working on it.

Real life is just not cooperating with the hobbies right now.

Roleswap AU:

Since you mentioned the roleswap AU, a question popped out that i need to know the answers of. How does the newspaper club act in this AU? Since now they’re all angels for this AU, what are they’re roles here? Also is Mephisto still have some connection towards Dia and Barbatos? Since yk, his backstory is very deeply connected to them, is it still the same here as well?

- 🐧 Anon

ooh, good question! of course, they'd still be in their little unit, their polycule-that-isn't-a-polycule-bc-only-two-of-them-are-dating-but-it-has-those-vibes...

new thing invented - a celestial realm research institute! let's say diavolo sets it up as a way to accelerate the realm's development, which has been stunted by its old-fashioned high council up until now. this is where he invites solomon and ik to come contribute to developing magic for the future, forging connections, etc, etc

the newspaper club would essentially be a little team in the institute who share a magical lab. mephisto is technically their leader since he'd the one who did the application, but everyone knows wiz is the group's secret weapon when it comes to innovation... alecto serves as the muscle, astaroth does the damage control and statistics, and mephisto provides the Chaos that is essential to how they work as a group

now as for mephisto's backstory in particular... figuring out this role would require defining sonno's roleswap counterpart, and while i'm not sure what the original anon who proposed the au might have had in mind, here's my take-

early on i said that diavolo started this au's version of the celestial war and won - this would have meant overthrowing sonno, since his swapping of roles would basically make him god. iirc since ik takes the role of a angel-turned-demon, the reason diavolo rebels was because he was the one who had to exile her, which would've been under orders from his father - as heir to divinity, he's the one who has to do these Big Important High Council things

in similar fashion to jtta, barb and mephisto both served sonno, but barb generally attended to diavolo, while mephisto was more of an enforcer/secret weapon- going undercover to locate dissenters, extinguishing potential threats, etc. the difference would be that mephisto, rather than being forgotten about after sonno goes to sleep, actively chooses to rebel when diavolo does, and turns against sonno

so i guess in this au he'd be a lot more friendly with diavolo than in jtta! post-war, he's just relaxing and living his best life with his bestest friends (though he is of course still haunted by the sins of his past, you know the type)

nice drive up to the campsite with a bookstore stop!

frolicked in the creek while the watermelon cooled in the water and then we ate it on a flat rock in the middle of the creek!

grilled corn and marinated paneer and korean pancakes with the help of a butane blowtorch! opened a pomegranate with my bare hands!

four cheeses!! (brie, gouda, feta, and aforementioned paneer)

got tucked in with my best friend lullabying us all on the ukulele

tried to stargaze through the mesh on the tent roof

thunderbolt and lightning VERY VERY FRIGHTENING

ten minutes scrambling in the dark to get the rainfly on

piling back into the rental car (a little sedan) with all our backpacks and two sleeping bags

listened to the thunder and rain and. oh yes. hail :))))))

slept fitfully. sleeping bag wedged under for lower back support. backseats DID NOT RECLINE.

woke up at the crack of dawn. ran back and forth between the water pump and campsite to rinse off as much dirt as possible. wrestled tent and rainfly into bag. shoes drenched. muddy.

ate stale baguette and cheese off the hood of the car. nice crunchy carrots and spicy hummus!!

lovely drive back! saw lots of cattle and horses and goats and a chicken crossing the road much carpool karaoke.

best friend stayed to help me hose down the tent and it was nice getting splashed because it was so damn hot in the city

end the worst best camping experience of my life

Okay but in terms of Sarah Jane during events of Doctor Who, wonder how she was doing during the events of Army Of Ghosts/Doomsday.

a little bit additional information that I found for everyone who is interested

It basically says that in addition to the trainings and yesterday’s comp on that hill they also considered stephan's and consti's performance during the training session they had in Planica. There, consti was a lot better than stephan, especially on the big hill

[groupwest]

holy shit. i met a queer person at the women’s circle yesterday *spinning around and around in joy. in sweet ecstasy*
