DA:TV spoilers/long post under cut. This post is a continuation of [this post] and [this post].

Reminds me of Crom Cruach. fitting for an Avvar :) where Rian the Red was a hero of the Fourth Blight, this Cruach the Wolf was a hero of the Third Blight.

A Dalish elf and former Keeper named Ifean who became a Grey Warden. sounds like they used they/them pronouns. :> I wonder if the Dryden here was Sophia Dryden, former Warden-Commander of Ferelden?

After First Days and Last Days come New Days. the Blighted Black City.

Clan Ersallae. New Dalish clan name dropped.

This environmental art of the tree-person coming out of the broken eluvian was so cool and beautiful and eerie, it goes really hard

The prop for the Executors Mysterious Circles codex points is exactly like the art of the same set of symbols in the secret ending :D

doing this with the art on those 'cards' was rly cool too. :)

Clan Sabrae reference! My lil Mahariel-loving heart is thrilled.

Deep Roads places which smell of seawater/ocean/sea/salt/brine - like in Horror of Hormak and the smell of the Executor in the last story in TN.

It strikes me that while "storm" is used in "Devouring Storm", which is connected to the Executors/enemies or those across the sea/the mysterious substance, here those very entities [?] are using storm language in reference to.. Ghilan'nain? Because here the storm that has been quelled is them saying "lol Ghil is ded now". The sun dimming is Elgar'nan's death obviously and wolf defanged is self-explanatory. this is ? - sun and wolf are obvious imageries for Elgar'nan and Fen'Harel respectively but "storm" isn't.. the first thing I would use for Ghil. yknow? Curious 👁️👁️ especially when it was Ghil's monster labs in TN that had the pools with the salt smell.

Adding this to my "pics of this damn thing" collection.

These halla-horn instruments sound so beautiful :') does Antiva standing strong with the Dales refer to this one?

This reminded me of [this] codex where the team are debating which Evanuris=which Old God, they suggest Urthemiel for June and Dirthamen for Dumat, and Neve adds that Dumat liked toads, asking did Dirthamen too? this memento seems to associate frogs with June.

We try to lead despite the eventual failing of our markings. To the inevitable and troubling freedom we are committed.

This reminded me of two things (I know that in the world it echoes the Titans'/lyrium's song, isatunoll etc): - the Stone-singers and Stone-singing in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power - this excerpt from the Book of Taliesin: "The Awen I sing, From the deep I bring it"

Dumat's toad again.

Or... beyond it? "Forbidden" could refer to the Forbidden Ones, and the Fade is the land of dreams ofc, but it also sounds Cekorax-y, Cthulu-y, Voidy. (if not Beyond it, maybe a creature that's neither demon or spirit - things "past the Veil of our world, neither demon nor spirit".)

Satina mention ( ๑ ˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و ♡ Thedas's Second Moon And Related Conspiracy you will always be famous.

Crows from one house can join another, if they get permission. there's also dialogue from Lucanis which says that the Houses sometimes try to steal promising Crows from one another.

Fun reference to one of Davrin's quests :>

Lucanis' attempt to woo Viago in days gone by.

Lucanis on having his first relationship.

lmao

New lore [?] - Crow Houses apparently sometimes recruit from armies or the trades.

Tarot/divination card decks with major and minor arcana including ones like Death and the Fool exist in Thedas. "We do not talk about Fight Club."

Shartan lore and also I am still desperate to know what "Glandivalis" / "Glandival" means.

Horror of Hormak reference q.q

Luck in the Gardens reference

Audric and Down Among the Dead Men ( •́ω•̩̥̀ )

Bellara and Harding discuss Ir sa tel'nal and isatunoll. Codex entry: Torn Notebook in the Deep Roads, Section 3 from DA:I -

Many of these pages are filled with sketches of elven statues matching the ones found in the area, along with notes and what look like attempts to practice Qunlat: Trying to remember that old bedtime song about Mythal. My mother sang it the night before the darkspawn came for my clan. It's the last time I ever heard her voice. Ir sa tel'nal, Mythal las ma theneras. Ir san'a emma. Him solas evanuris. Da'durgen'lin, Banal malas elgara. Bellanaris, bellanaris. Written beside each elven line is a corresponding phrase, likely a translation: I am empty, filled with nothing(?), Mythal gives you dreams. It fills you, within you(?), Making our leaders proud. My little stones, Never yours the sun. Forever, forever. Hahren said we had lost some of the old words. What if they have changed? Durgen'lin from durgen'len? Little dwarves, never yours the sun? What did Mythal do here?

Bellara on another meaning of this song.

still simming and i'm almost done furnishing addie's massive farm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i added lighting outside :) it looks great in build mode so i'm excited to see it in game when the sun goes down!

more below, with lots of indoor shots too ~

here's a couple more of the outside lighting! it's so dreamy. I love it. there are firefly spots all around the place so i'm really hoping this becomes magical at night!

onto the inside! It's a massive goddamn house it's taking forever. everybody has their own room though and there's plenty of room for activities and skills :)

anyway here's the house. the first pictures are of the living/kitchen area. this is the "modern" living area - a couple walls were torn down to make it an open floor plan as u do in old farmhouses. I'm going for heavy clutter, some old things, some new, and lots of houseplants everywhere. poppy is invisible in that plaid purple rug on the floor lol. build mode babies...

do u see Shane's hot sauce shelf? :) i still have to clutter up some shelves and the dining table and decide if I want the wood walls or not. I also wanna put family pictures up! so I'm leaving empty walls compared to other parts of the house.

Marnie's room is up next since she wanted some screentime, as u can see, her standing eerily behind the couch

Marnie is in one of the rooms with the original wallpaper. I might add a little grime to tell that story. isn't it so cute?!? i love this set so much i've been abusing it in this house - the wallpaper and paintings are from that set. She does the laundry in this house so there's a spot for her to watch her soaps while she folds clothes. her 'grandkids' make her things so she keeps them in here :) She's picking up crossstitching too.

Addie and Shane's room is a weird shape, i could not figure out the layout to this house and their room suffered for it lol. but the little hallway is a kinda walk in closet... Shane doesn't have a ton of stuff, except that one bookshelf and whatever clothes he has. One of his couches from his old apartment is in the basement. The rest is all Addie - she's a packrat, and i like her having clutter everywhere, including the walls. She has her more tame witchy things in her bedroom - tarot cards on the fireplace by her grandma's ashes, her book of shadows and mandala board on her dresser. I don't have my own posters made but let's pretend one of the ones in the corner is for nolan's band :p. Poppy is still small so her stuff is crammed in here for now, but she does have her own room. As you can see, no unsavory things in this room, don't snoop.

This is their little bathroom - the shower is to the right but u can't see. there's also a little ladder in here to the attic, which i just started furnishing 😇

The hallway on the upper floor is a little playroom area. I think it's cute :) the floral couch is from Marnie's house! In the far corner is where Jas does her homework.

this is Deli's room! a little bare on the walls so i'm working on that. but he has a pet rat ;___; and he likes voidcritters. wonder who he takes after

and here's Poppy's room - it's very small but works for a baby.

Jas' room is still in progress - I had it nice in my old save so ive got to save it from there and paste it in the next time i load the game.

Lastly... the 70s basement...

The stairwell is claustrophobia-inducing, i hope u can tell by the first pic. but u go downstairs and it's a blast from the past. lots of hand me down furniture including shane's old couch and ping pong table. this is also where i put the big kid play items that would be cute elsewhere if they didn't take so much space!! deli's dollhouse was supposed to be in his room but i could not get it to work in there :(

The last pic in that set is their brewing room. the beer machine was embarrased i came in to see him. I want it to be their pantry too - i'm hoping i can find a cc pack for basement pantries/homestead pantries. I'll even take disaster shelter pantries. the vibes need to be unhinged in here ok

I almost forgot, the never-remodelled bathroom

per custom i'll leave u a few parting misc pics. jas :)

marnie ignoring her nephew. she's busy!!! (this was from we're-all-in-the-living-room phase of this house lol)

and lastly, surprise! i have to find another metal band that could pass as a name for a baby (non canonical ass baby. i can name u whatever i want). this was an accident lol i forgot to re-enable her birth control after she had poppy ;_; and ya i can just use master controller to zap that baby gone, but both her and shane are happy about it and she is constantly rolling 'try for baby' wants. so u know what? here's ur baby have fun.

hope u enjoy lol. i obviously am :D eat sleep sims repeat amiright gamers

A mystical tarot experience. Synchronicity and probability helping to prove magic. to me at least. via /r/tarot

A mystical tarot experience. Synchronicity and probability helping to prove magic. to me at least.

Lets try this again. i posted yesterday but i dont think i did a good job showing and presenting the data as it was shown to us. here goes.

I would like to share an experience in tarot recently that was much more than just the spread. It told a story through metaphor that only strengthened when looked into a bit more.

There is a metaphor I would like to share that I thought of after this experience.

Imagine each card as a personality and you invite All the cards to party before each tarot session.

When you lay out the spread the order of the guests and who actually came to the party becomes apparent.

The arrangement suggests the cards/ personalitys they interact with and become friends or enemies dependant on their position.

You look at each guest as they arrive and judge them based on their appearance and time that they arrived to the party.

You make assumptions based on what you see and a first impression is made. If you meet this person on a bad day (upside down) it will leave a different impression than if they are having a good day( right side up). But if they come too a later party having changed dispositions that tells you something as well.

After the party is over you might go online and (check the cards Facebook page) learning what the general public thinks of each card.

But what they show on their Facebook page is not quite who they are inside. That true personality can only be learned through meditation/conversation with the card.

I/ took pictures the night we performed the reading but the pics were potato quality. I took some more today to show what we saw in the order we saw it. To color the context of the reading right before it began we were talking about the connection between KNOW and NO, and how interesting it is that one of the most powerful words is identical sounding to the Negative of the English language. Even in the bible the Tree of Knowledge was forbidden. God said NO to KNOWING. God said you will surely die if you eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge.

The snake convinced EVE that this was a fallacy and she partook of the tree…… Still alive…. Hey adam, you wanna do the one thing we aren’t supposed to do? It doesn’t “Really” kill you.

So I arrange the spot outside to do the reading setting up pillows and a candle and incense to get in the groove. When I come back Christy said she took the cards out of the box to shuffle them but one of the cards was left behind within the box. As if he didn’t want to come out.

http://ift.tt/2vYTEW9

She takes the Emperor card and puts him back in with his buddies and mixes them up again. It is after this she looks at me and says “UM… im not supposed to look at the bottom card am I?” As far as I know its just a taboo I suppose, maybe not forbidden like the tree of knowledge but….. and she showed me the death card on the bottom of the deck.

http://ift.tt/2v6eDd4

I was like ahha that’s what you get EVE. She then shuffles AGAIN making sure to get those cards all good and mixed. And then I take the cards and Lay the spread. And have her flip the cards.

Then I lay the spread as you see here MINUS the emperor card.

http://ift.tt/2vZ7hEL

I note the Crystal is pointing at the Strength card and look at that final card. Its like a callback in comedy. She looked and saw death. Shuffled again and then It pops up again in the outcome slot.

I then add the Extra card to the top too finish the triangle. This was a whim and yet BOOM the emperor returns. The first card of the night hiding in the box comes out to say hi.

After we look over the cards a bit and compare various definitions of the cards, we do a spread for me.

http://ift.tt/2v6eDK6

There are a couple things of note here that stand out.

The justice card. Earlier this day my wife and I performed at a 10 year olds birthday party. For our finale we did a fire sword. I overheard someone say The “Sword of Justice” Was the best part. I yell out “How about the sword of Justin (my name)”.

I look at the card and sure enough he has a Sword in his Right or just/correct hand.

The tower card….. A general bad card but I was intrigued at its position to the crystal and the fact it fits so snugly within the tower. So I shot the crystal up through the tower like a spaceship.

I actually measured the crystal at its widest and smallest width and oddly enough it syncs up directly with the tower at its widest and thinnest portion.

After my whim in adding the 6th card, Christy noticed I moved the crystal and placed the next card.

The magician. Now this is the first card ive ever drawn in tarot and has significance to me. But one realization popped out above all in these readings.

http://ift.tt/2vYTFtb

My wife drew the strength card in the spot where the crystal was pointing. I drew the tower card in this same spot. But noticed that the crystal fit and shot through the tower and Then Christy placed the magician.

http://ift.tt/2v6cApv

Both these cards the crystal ended up placing are the only characters with an infinite sign or Leminscate over their heads. And I got the male and Christy got the female.

Last point of notice was Christy picked up the Ace of pentacles and pointed to my right and I saw the image on the card in my yard. http://ift.tt/2vYTG0d

We have an archway in the same position relative both to the placement of the card in the spread but also the position of the arch on the card.

The final kicker to this is The Sun rises and passes through the position of the Pentacle on the card.

In case you are wondering the conspiracy is the suppression of magic/mysticism/intuition. There is more to our world than we can know but the world is trying its damndest to tell us. I think The subconscious mind teaches the conscious mind through dreams. and i think that synchronicity and these types of experiences are the Universe/god/whatever you call it attempting to teach the you that is the I. once you throw away the concept of coincidence you begin to learn from just about everything. You can interpret your reality like a dream as you interpret the cards.

Its the Mandela effect that taught my the high level of synchronicity in every human creation. Language especially. As it had to develop in such an intricate way, shifting and evolving until reaching today where we have the internet and a curious mind to reveal the majesty of the world. Sync is contagious and it only seems to increase its own potential the more one witnesses it. there comes a point where you HAVE to say... wait a tic, what if this "ISNT" a coincidence. I hope i could share the magnitude of the experience i described and that you can understand the levels of improbability at play.
