OC-TOBER DAY 9

bweird OC-tober

9: RELATIONSHIPS

Doesn’t have to be romantic! Can be any kind of relationship (friendship, family, rivalry etc)

I think Alcinoe’s relationships are fascinating so she gets to be the subject of this one!

Mother: Thistle. Thistle & Alcinoe barely know each other, in truth. Thistle, the king’s wild-thing mistress, was quick to leave her child to the castle’s keeping, and has not been heard from since. Alcinoe’s knowledge of her mother comes from the stories of others, known of whom could say they truly knew her.

Father: His Majesty, King Alcaeus IV. Despite being named in mirror of him, Alcinoe is not especially close to her father. He has never been a man much concerned with child-rearing.

Half-siblings:

Prince Alcaeus - Being so much older than his illegitimate half-sibling, prince Alcaeus finds her no threat. She hardly has a rival claim, and he feels something of a responsibility for her, having been already an adult when she was born. To him, she is his little sister, and never mind about matters of birth.

Princess Josefine - Josefine is a quiet, even-tempered woman, without, it must be said, much of a mind for politics. She follows her elder brother’s lead, and therefore is close enough to Alcinoe, though their personalities rather differ.

Princess Daniya - The twins (Daniya & Fahima) were in their infancy when Alcinoe was born. Therefore, the three of them somewhat grew up together, though Alcinoe was kept apart from royal affairs, hardly sharing caretakers with the royal children. Daniya & Alcinoe have the same thrill-seeking nature, and so spent much of their childhoods sneaking out to run wild together.

Princess Fahima - Fahima, though politically minded enough to feel some concern over Alcinoe’s position, knows Alcinoe well enough to know she would hate any part of the heirship, and feels somewhat indebted to her for keeping her twin happy.

Prince Fadil - Fadil was young when his mother disappeared. Alcinoe did her best to shield him from the rumours, telling him stories of the kind, brilliant woman she knew. These days, they are hardly close, and Alcinoe mourns the loss of that cheerful boy who looked to her. He has grown into his father’s son.

Prince Chares - The youngest by far of the king’s children, Chares certainly doesn’t expect to ever inherit. He resents his elder siblings, especially the less politically minded ones. Wouldn’t he be better suited? He certainly feels no fondness for his father’s illegitimate daughter.

Father’s spouses:

Queen Joanne (deceased) - Joanne died before Alcinoe was born. Nonetheless, her presence is felt everywhere.

Queen Amina (presumed dead) - Amina never resented Alcinoe, and showed kindness to the young girl. Even after her disappearance, as everything about her descended into vicious rumour, Alcinoe thinks fondly of her. (Note: Amina is very much not dead and is having an amazing time far away from the castle and palaces.)

Queen Belphoebe - Alcinoe’s presence does put Belphoebe in a rather difficult position. An illegitimate child, residing in the castle and palaces of the royal family, and so clearly named for her royal father threatens any hold Belphoebe might be able to get on power. She is not, therefore, fond of the girl.

Other notable people:

Tsunami - Alcinoe’s best friend. The pair met in childhood, Alcinoe finding quiet sanctuary in Tsunami’s comfortable inhumanity.

Bakar - Member of the royal guard who knew Thistle and was fond of her. He was a steady, reassuring presence throughout Alcinoe’s childhood, and remains one of the rare people she can lean on.

Gennadiy - He is deeply, almost fanatically, loyal to his king. Therefore, if His Majesty wishes to take in his illegitimate daughter, protecting her is now under Gennadiy’s remit. There is no personal good feeling in it, but that cool, impersonal professionalism is better than judgment, and ensures all the guards remain civil, at least.

Día Nacional del libro

Aniversario del natalicio de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz

Efemérides literarias

Un 12 de noviembre de 1648 nació Juana Inés de Asbaje Ramírez de Santillana, mejor conocida como sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, escritora y poetisa mexicana del siglo de Oro.

Amor empieza por desasosiego

Amor empieza por desasosiego,

solicitud, ardores y desvelos;

crece con riesgos, lances y recelos;

susténtase de llantos y de ruego.

Doctrínanle tibiezas y despego,

conserva el ser entre engañosos velos,

hasta que con agravios o con celos

apaga con sus lágrimas su fuego.

Su principio, su medio y fin es éste:

¿pues por qué, Alcino, sientes el desvío

de Celia, que otro tiempo bien te quiso?

¿Qué razón hay de que dolor te cueste?

Pues no te engañó amor, Alcino mío,

sino que llegó el término preciso.

Mineral Cup Round 1: Stibnite vs Atacamite

Two metallic minerals go head-to-head, with antimony ore stibnite up against copper-derivative atacamite!

https://www.mineralcup.org/2024/vote/r1m07

STIBNITE

This glitzy mineral was used by the Romans to make colorless glass, but elsewhere is prized for its black pigment and explosive opportunities!

Name: From Greek στίβι, from Egyptian sedem, meaning kohl/powdered antimony.

Bling: Long and shiny crystals, with black or iridescent tarnish.

Uses: Used since thousands of years ago as a cosmetic and pigment, stibnite now finds use in safety matches, flash powder, glittery pyrotechnics, and ironically, flame retardants!

Team DO NOT Lick! Stibnite is mostly antimony and it shows in its toxicity! No licking this one.

ATACAMITE

This rare mineral forms from its fellow competitor, copper, as it weathers - in addition to natural deposits, it's found on the Statue of Liberty's green patina!

Name: After the Atacama Desert, where it was discovered.

Bling: A lovely bright to dark green.

Uses: Strengthens the jaws of bloodworms! It has also been found in pigments across Eurasia.

Team Lick? Unconfirmed.
