Ever wanted to know how to pronounce the name of our favorite Ur copper merchant, Ea-nāṣir? If you haven't looked it up, I can almost guarantee that you are saying it wrong, but fret not. I will share the secret with you (or at least the buest guess modern experts have).

The reconstruction of how to pronounce his name currently looks like this in the IPA:

[e.a.ˈnaː.t͡sʼiʁ]

If that looks daunting, keep reading.

While Ea-nāṣir may be remembered to us as a Sumerian, he did not speak Sumerian. The Sumerian language was all but extinct in his day, and Sumerians now spoke an unrelated language called Akkadian.

The infamous complaint tablets are written in Akkadian Cuneiform, which is a complicated writing system that it is difficult to figure out the pronunciation of after the fact. Pronunciations have shifted considerably during the time that modern people have studied it. All the same, we have a "buest guess" at pronunciation.

The first thing to note is that Akkadian has phonemic vowel quantity, which is a fancy way if saying that the length of a vowel is really important. Ea-nāṣir's name has four vowels, and three are short and one is long. The long one is the A with a bar on top (called a macron, pronounced MACK-ron or MAKE-ron). If you see that symbol in other languages it is probably also a long vowel (you'll see this in Arabic, Latin, and many other languages).

This also tells us where to stress the word. While Akkadian has somewhat complicated rules for stress, Ea-nāṣir's case is simple: stress the syllable with the long vowel.

The vowels themselves are the vowels you would find in Spanish, Japanese or Swahili: the E is closest to the English vowel in dress, the As are between trap and palm, just like Spanish gato, and the I is somewhere around sheep or fear.

So far, intuitively, you're probably pronouncing it something like "e-a-NAW-sir", which is getting closer to the accurate idea, but we haven't looked at the consonants yet, and unfortunately they are the hardest parts (for an English speaker).

The N is just a regular N. This isn't too surprising since N is one of the single most common sounds across all spoken languages (perhaps only beaten by M).

The R, while contested among scholars, seems to be leaning towards a "back R" or "guttural R", the way French people and some Germans do it.

That leaves the ṣ. Oh boy. It is, first of all, an affricate, like the Z in pizza. "e-a-NAAT-sir" would as such be a good try. It is, however, also something called an ejective, which is a notoriously tricky type of consonant where you block the airflow while saying it, only to release it immediately after.

You know the T-dropping that some brits do, or the way you rapidly close off air flow at the back of your throat when saying ah-ah-ah (and perhaps wagging your finger)? Try putting an air release like that right after the ts sound. If the closest you get is "e-a-NAT-suh-ir" then you are already doing a good job.

If you are a perfectionist, here is an old youtube video of a person making the noise, with decent audio.

And that's it, really. That is a complete breakdown of the best guess we have at how Ea-nāṣir's name would have been pronounced.

By Amanda Blum

PCR tests are far superior to rapid antigen tests—and now you can get them for home use.

Last week, I was about to go on a date, and because I'm severely immunocompromised, we agreed he would take a COVID test using one of my rapid home PCR tests. It was a courtesy—he felt perfectly fine— but he tested positive. By the next day, he was sick as a dog. And, by the way, the rapid antigen test he took when he got home that night was negative.

Regardless of how you much of a health risk you see in COVID, it is still, at best, an inconvenience that costs you days off work. A simple home PCR test saved me from that inconvenience (and worse), and if I'd relied on the common rapid antigen test or done nothing at all, I would probably be sick right now.

While the world has desperately attempted to move on from COVID, this summer saw the highest case loads since 2022, with a winter surge just around the corner. Almost 300,000 people died from COVID in the US over the last three months alone, so while the pandemic has transitioned into endemic, according to the CDC, there are still risks to be aware of. Around 400 million people worldwide have long COVID, where symptoms can range from annoying to absolutely debilitating, regardless of your age, pre-COVID health, or fitness levels. Cases of long COVID are crushing our medical system, too. The two best tools to avoid getting COVID continue to be masking and testing. Unfortunately, the PCR testing centers that used to be available in each city have long closed, and obtaining a PCR has become expensive and hard to locate. This is why home testing kits are so important.

While you may be used to thinking of COVID tests as interchangeable, there’s a big difference between the standard at-home antigen test and a PCR (molecular) test. Almost five years in, it’s important to understand why PCR tests are the ones you want when accurate testing is important.

The difference between a PCR and a Rapid Antigen Test What you normally think of as a home COVID test—like the kind you can order for free from the government—is a rapid antigen test. When these at-home COVID tests became available, they were a powerful tool to help people know they were positive so they could isolate themselves from others. Almost all at-home tests were lateral flow tests, also known as rapid antigen tests (RATs). They measure for proteins on the outside of SARS-C0V-2, but they have a major flaw: They can only detect active virus. If you’re asymptomatic or don’t have a high viral load yet, the RAT may show negative results while you have an active and contagious infection.

This is why, if you already have symptoms, a negative antigen test isn't conclusive. You may need to test a number of times to confirm you have COVID. When you first get sick, you may go a number of days (as many as five) without enough virus to set off a positive RAT test. RATs were designed to be taken multiple times in sequence.

A PCR, also known as a NAAT or molecular test, measures RNA and can detect even small amounts of the virus. This is why it has always been considered the “gold standard” of COVID testing. These tests are generally considered accurate starting one to three days before you experience symptoms. Until last year, you needed to get a PCR from a testing center, but home tests have evolved and there are now four rapid, at-home molecular COVID tests, meaning you test and get a result within 30 minutes.

Why we still need COVID testing The world is now divided into people who view COVID as part of regular life and those who, due to chronic illness, immune issues, previous infections, or age, cannot afford to get infected. For a long time, we viewed COVID testing as something you do for your own health, but home PCR testing represents a way you can easily protect those vulnerable people in your life without cutting them off from society.

But even if you're not concerned about others, you should still care about protecting yourself from multiple infections. While the likelihood you will die of COVID has gone down dramatically due to vaccines, medical interventions, and natural immunity from infection, the news has not done a great job talking about long COVID. As people get infected two, three, four, and more times, they are playing against the odds. It’s estimated that one in 10—or even as many as one in five—infections leads to long COVID, and to explain how much it’s not “just the flu,” COVID is now considered to be a vascular illness. That means it affects the blood vessels in your body, which go everywhere. Thinking of COVID as a vascular illness helps explain why long COVID is everything from extreme fatigue to migraines to numbness in your extremities, loss of smell and taste, extreme fatigue, and neurological and cardiovascular conditions.

While lots of people no longer even test to see if they have COVID, there are a few reasons to get a definitive answer. First, you can only get the intervention Paxlovid within the first five days of symptoms. Anti-virals like Paxlovid knock down your viral load, one of the things we think helps prevent long COVID. Second, no one knows who will get long COVID, and you might need proof of that positive test in the future for insurance or benefits or even to justify sick days.

Lastly, you need to get tested because it is hard to know when you have COVID. Symptoms of COVID include headache, body ache, fever, sniffles, congestion, fatigue, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of smell or taste. In other words, absolutely anything out of the ordinary. While a RAT is unreliable for safe socializing with people for the reasons explained above, a molecular test can pretty reliably clear someone to come in your house that day, or be in close proximity. In that way, these molecular tests can be a tool to help immunocompromised people back into the world and make multigenerational celebrations safer.

How to get a molecular/PCR test Outside of your home, your main options now are urgent care clinics and places that do testing for travel. In both cases, they’ll be expensive. In the case of urgent care, they’ll put you in the same space as all the sick people, who are now no longer required to mask in healthcare settings, so if you don't already have COVID, you might pick it up there. Fortunately, there are molecular (PCR quality) tests you can take at home.

Rapid molecular tests require a similar effort on your part as a RAT test. You’ll swab yourself and then insert that swab into a machine that gives you a result. There are currently just four brands of these tests available: Lucira, Metrix, 3EO, and PlusLife. Unlike RAT tests, you have to order them, although Metrix and Lucira tests are available on Amazon, and Walgreens stocks Lucira tests in select stores. For a long time, they were just too expensive for most people, so they were relegated to the likes of movie sets, law firms, and Google employees. Prices have gone down, so now they’re more accessible—as low as $10 a test. Here are your options.

Leider sind wir schon lange an dem Punkt, an dem es mehr Reinfektionen als Erstinfektionen gibt. Fast niemand hatte noch nie Covid. Es ist davon auszugehen (weil, es gab ja Welle um Welle um Welle, auch wenn es leider nicht von Seiten der Politik so kommuniziert wurde und die meisten Menschen es nicht geglaubt oder ignoriert haben) dass sich der average Mensch in den letzten Jahren wieder und wieder angesteckt hat. Viele Ansteckungen verlaufen asymptomatisch, und wenn Symptome auftreten, werden diese oft nicht als Covid wahrgenommen. Covid-Symptome sind vielfältig (da das Virus mehr oder weniger Gewebe im ganzen Körper angreifen kann) und werden nicht alle als solche erkannt. Und wenn jemand vermutet, Covid zu haben, und einen negativen Schnelltest macht, ist das leider auch nicht sehr aussagekräftig, weil die nur bei sehr hohen Virenlasten eine gute Präzision haben. Es müssten 3-4 Tests im Abstand von 2 Tagen durchgeführt werden, und selbst dann ist es eher meh zuverlässig. Nur molekulare Tests (also PCR oder NAAT) können Covid relativ gut ausschließen. Das ist halt das, was passiert, wenn es ein extrem ansteckendes und schnell mutierendes Virus gibt, und wir als Gesellschaft so tun, als wäre es plötzlich gar nicht mehr da. Es wird nach wie vor da sein, und nach wie vor extrem ansteckend sein, und Leute werden sich immer wieder anstecken, aber wir hören nichts mehr davon. Ist leider scheiße.

Und dabei sind gerade diese Reinfektionen das perfide an Corona: Sie erhöhen das Sterberisiko und das Risiko für Long Covid und können bei bereits an Long Covid erkrankten die Krankheit verschlimmern.

Und deswegen dürfen wir "endemisch" auch nicht als Synonym für "ist harmlos und wir müssen nichts mehr machen" verstehen. Erkältungen sind endemisch, Malaria, Cholera und die Pocken (vor ihrer weltweiten Ausrottung) aber auch. Und Malaria bleibt uns literally (bis auf ein paar eingeschleppte Fälle) nur erspart, weil wir das Glück haben, dass es hier zu kalt ist.

The Weather

This week we see a sharp increase of COVID in all regions, likely due to increased travel around the recent holiday long weekend and dropping temperatures that bring a lot of gatherings indoors. As the holiday season continues, we remind our readers to use layers of protection — such as ventilation, air purification, masking with a KN95/N95 or better, and testing via PCR or NAAT or testing serially with rapid antigen tests — to protect themselves and their loved ones both during travel and at your holiday gatherings.  Repeat COVID infection has serious implications for everyone, not just the elderly or those with preexisting conditions. Even if you experience a mild case, COVID is a vascular disease that causes multiple organ damage, autoimmune conditions, inflammation and immune system dysregulation that you might not necessarily experience at the time of your infection. It’s important to note that if you or your loved ones have experienced previous COVID infections, you may have entered a high risk group for severe effects and hospitalization without realizing it.  Some people may feel worn down by the current state of the virus, by fatigue of lack of resources, or from the energy spent protecting one’s self from an infection; with increasing wastewater levels and the onset of a new dominant variant this week, now is really the crunch time to stay strong and endure. For those who have stopped precautions, we invite you to return to masking and other levels to minimize transmission. This is the most important time to return to masking to protect yourself and others.

The Current Wastewater Viral Activity Map shows viral activity by state. As of 12/02/23, many states are reporting “very high” to “high” COVID levels with 5 states reporting low levels. Seven states reported no data. The CDC currently rates our nationally reported COVID wastewater viral activity levels as “high”.

Levels are at an incline in all regions, but the Midwest takes a strong lead with a viral activity level of 10.94. This is a wastewater value that surpasses all readings for the Midwest in the past 2 years, and is the third highest of any reading since the onset of the Omicron variant in January of 2022 where we saw the highest levels of spread we have experienced in the entirety of the pandemic. Current Midwestern wastewater levels were surpassed only by a viral activity level of 13.02 in the South on 12/31/2022 and of 11.79 in the West on 07/02/2023. As with Biobot data, the most recent two weeks (indicated by gray shading on the graph) are subject to change due to reporting delays. As we enter the cold and flu season when many in-person gatherings are held, we encourage you to continue monitoring local reports for a more accurate measure of levels. Also, please continue to use and support others in using layers of protection. And as we continue to report on advocacy successes, remember that our actions and voices can enact change — this level of unchecked spread is unacceptable and we must demand better resources and protections from our policy makers!

Deaths

Percentage of total deaths in the US caused by COVID has risen 25% in the past week. Remember that these numbers are an undercount related to reporting delays in place since the Biden Administration ended the Public Health Emergency. Alarmingly, the current increase in deaths is large enough to show despite these changes.

COVID remains the third leading cause of death according to the CDC in the US. COVID is the highest single cause of death, only second to Heart Disease and Cancer which are both umbrella headings for more specific diseases. We mourn all those who have died due to COVID, and in that mourning, call you to take measures to prevent death and disablement for yourself, your loved ones, and your communities.

Ventilation and Air Filtration

Moving activities outdoors or ensuring your indoor setting has consistent fresh airflow is key to ensuring high quality ventilation. We recommend monitoring carbon dioxide levels and making adjustments as needed. Air filtration is important as well. If you’re looking for a HEPA air purifier or Corsi-Rosenthal Box for your family, it is important to get a filtration device that is powerful enough to change out the air for your particular room size. Clean Air Stars has created a free tool to calculate which filter could be right for you depending on the size of the rooms that you wish to clean and how many people will be attending your gathering.

Testing

Whether you are making the trip home or staying in one place this holiday season, with the current level of spread it is important to know your COVID status before engaging in social activity. Rapid antigen tests are designed to be “the most rapid” at telling those who are symptomatic whether the symptoms they are experiencing are or are not caused by COVID. If you are asymptomatic, presymptomatic, or less than 5 days out from your COVID exposure, using one single rapid test is not an effective way of determining whether or not a person is currently infected with and contagious with COVID. Persons using rapid antigen tests should take at least 2 rapid antigen tests 48 hours apart from one another and isolate in between, in order to avoid spreading their unconfirmed case as well as avoid exposure to COVID during this waiting period, which could produce a false test negative result. Persons who are experiencing COVID symptoms but test negative on an initial rapid antigen test also need to isolate themselves from others, assume they have COVID, and test again in 48 hours. Persons who are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic who experience 2 negative serial tests must mask or isolate and wait a final 48 hours to test a third time in order to confirm a negative COVID case. For this reason, rapid antigen tests are only ideal to use in preparation for events where the user has a week prior available to test multiple times and isolate. FDA approved home Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests or NAATs are a more sensitive home test option, some brands of which have been found to, with only one test, verify both positive and negative results at 92.9% and 98.7% respective accuracy. NAATs can be a more sensitive, quicker option to use in preparation for events. Another more recent clinical trial found that performing a combined throat and nose sample increased sensitivity for healthcare worker and self-collected specimens. When testing at home with a rapid antigen test, it is worth it to take a combination sample like this one. To ensure the most sensitive results for both symptomatic and asymptomatic cases, get a PCR test. No-cost PCR testing sites that are available via the federal ICATT program can be found via this search tool. Remember to also check for regional offerings such as NYC’s COVID express test centers that test for COVID, RSV, FLU A and FLU B free of cost with results typically returned by end of day, that could be a more convenient option for you. PCR testing is the gold standard if you are making plans to be in a social setting.  If you do not have fast free PCR testing in your area, demand that it be made publicly available by the government at all levels!

Wins

Grassroots organizing group and “Mask Blocs” continue to take to social media encouraging Pro-Palestine protesters to continue to wear masks in their organizing spaces and during protests highlighting historic use of unrestricted and eugenic viral spread as a weapon of occupation and colonization. The National Institutes of Health’s Home Test to Treat program has upgraded its free test offerings and now instead of rapid antigen tests, will provide LUCIRA by Pfizer home NAAT tests can that effectively detect asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic COVID infections as well as Flu A and Flu B. Those who are uninsured or underinsured can sign up for this program to access free NAAT testing, telehealth services, and treatment medications for COVID and the Flu. If your household has not placed a new order for more rapid tests from the federal government through covidtests.gov, you can still place an order for 4 free rapid antigen tests here.    

Take Action

If you are out protesting this weekend or planning your trip home to visit family for the holidays, connect with your local COVID advocacy group to pick up high quality masks for yourself and to pass on to those around you. This Tuesday, December 12th, the director of the CDC and the American Medical Association are hosting a virtual fireside chat to discuss Fall & Winter Respiratory Virus Season (prior registration required). We encourage you to attend. You might ask the CDC why they aren’t ensuring precautions in healthcare settings? Or you could ask why they’re relying on a reactive, vaccine-only approach instead of layers of protection to proactively prevent COVID?

Disclaimer: not a native speaker, still learning 🙏

Onto the promised second half of my accumulated language notes on Last Twilight ep. 9-11, this time a short one!

จ้า /jaa/

Perfect subs, no notes. จ้า or จ๋า is an ending particle or interjection that gives vibes of intimacy and being sweet - I kinda melted when he said it.

The fact that Day calls out to his brother in this moment of distress by calling him พี่ไนท์ /phi Night/, whereas they usually use familiar impolite กู/มึง /guu, meung/ with each other, and we see them be physically affectionate now 🥺

หวัดดี อาหมอก อาเดย์ ลุงไนท์ สิลูก /wat dee aa Mork aa Day loong Night si luuk/

-> อา /aa/ = a young uncle or aunt; ลุง /loong/ = an old uncle; ลูก /luuk/ = child, son/daughter

Porjai พอใจ /phaaw jai/ = satisfied, content; satisfactory

Poomjai ภูมิใจ /phuum jai/ = proud

This notion of You're more than 'enough', you're amazing! -

ผมอยากให้คุณภูมิใจในตัวเองนะ ที่แบกท้องคนเดียวมาได้ขนาดนี้อะ /pom yaak hai khun phuum jai nai dtuua ehng na thee baaek thaawng khohn diao maa dai kha naat nee a/

= I want you to be proud of yourself for carrying this pregnancy alone for so long.

Night used to call himself พี่ /phi/ and Porjai เรา /rao/ or น้อง /nong/ up until last episode. That he now uses the more formal ผม /pom/ and คุณ /khun/ is giving such married couple vibes 🥹

-> More on all these pronouns here, where I explained how MorkDay went through the exact opposite pronoun journey

[bolithesenate]

Wanna talk about some of your new wips or random ideas plaguing your mind???👀👀👀

GLADLY

okay, so, apparently my mind is back on it's obscure background jedi bullshit, which means I am starting to use up many of the names I've got on the backburner. I'm talking Nuru Kungurama, B'ink Utrila, Andur and Nomi Sunrider, Orykan Tamarik, Stam and Naat Reath... to only name a few. (and ofc my current personal faves Nim and Komari)

But the main thing they all sort of share - which I now realize probably is because of the lack of biodiversity in certain fic I've only lamented about yesterday iirc - the general idea of bringing in new twists and turns to the always same 'jedi gets mandopted away' trope that's become rather popular lately.

Featuring:

some timetravel

jedi (accidentally) kidnapping mandos

jedi (purposefully) kidnapping mandos

mandos accidentally kidnapping jedi who then keep on luring in more jedi to hang out

jedi being very effective at undercover work (too effective, some might say)

and generally a whole bunch of chaos XD

admittedly, most of these are some form of crack, but I need to further my own agendas at some point. and that almost always involved crack. because i love crack.

Laird Barron ("Oblivion Mode," "Ode to Jode the Toad") Leigh Brackett ("The Sea-Kings of Mars")  E.R. Eddison (The Worm Ouroboros) John R. Fultz ("Chivaine") Robert E. Howard ("The Shadow Kingdom," "Worms of the Earth") John Langan ("The Savage Angela in: The Beast in the Tunnels") Tanith Lee (Birthgrave, "Southern Lights") C.L. Moore ("The Black God's Kiss") Silvia Moreno-Garcia (The Return of the Sorcereress) Michael Shea (Nifft the Lean) Clark Ashton Smith ("The Charnel God," "Necromancy in Naat") E. Catherine Tobler ("The Living, Vengeant Stars, "And After the Fire, A Still Small Voice") Gene Wolfe ("Bloodsport") ​ The list could go on and on, of course, but we feel those provide a representative sample of the work we enjoy. We do not ask for pastiches of their work, but simply as examples of the diverse tones and forms weird fiction and sword/sorcery may take when at their best. Characters: We want defined, rounded characters who encounter and interact with conflict of some kind (preferably weird!) over the course of your story. ​ Narrative style: We’ve a broad taste in styles, from the poetic to the plain. Our preferred prose is vibrant yet readable. Particularly poetic prose can win us over, but it must always support the story itself. ​ Point-of-View: We prefer limited POVs: first-person and third-person limited, for example, but will accept any if done well. ​ Grammar: We tend to prefer works that stick to established rules of written English, though we understand the need to deviate for artistic purposes. ​ Originality: We want original works that speak with your authorial voice and flair. Though we love Lovecraftian works, for example, we are not necessarily all that enthused by straight pastiche.  ​ Setting: We prefer medieval and antique-adjacent settings, though we're not strict on that point. But in general, we prefer something either pre-gunpowder or early-gunpowder. It can either be a version of our own real world, or a constructed secondary world (or a combination thereof). ​ Extreme Content: We do not mind violence or sexual content, but we prefer it not be the sole or defining feature of a work. Gore for gore’s sake, extended torture scenes, depictions of extreme violence/conduct done to children, drawn-out erotic scenes and so forth are not right for our venue. ​ Fiction Submissions Guidelines ​ Length: 1000-6000 words. This is a hard limit, unfortunately. ​ Simultaneous Submissions: We do not accept them.  ​ Multiple Submissions: We do not accept them. Send only one story at a time, please, and only one story per submission window. ​ Reprints: We do not accept them at this time, unfortunately. ​ Language: English. ​ Rights: We purchase first world electronic rights and first-world print rights.

This means you cannot publish a story we buy as a first-run or “new” story anywhere else in the world; this means it can only be published elsewhere as a reprint, typically at a much lower rate.  ​ Payment: We pay 8c (0.08 USD) per word per short story. Payment occurs within 30 days of online publication, via PayPal. Poetry Submissions Guidelines ​ Subject Matter: We prefer our poems deal with the same subjects as our fiction: tales of eldritch war, images of strange melancholy, and moments of bloody reflection, among other things. ​ Exemplar poems: Our tastes run towards the antique. Some of our current favorites include John Milton's Paradise Lost, Algernon Swinburne's Tristram of Lyonesse, Robert Browning's "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came," and Charles Young's "Night-Thoughts." That being said, we are willing to be convinced by just about anything in verse, so long as it conforms to the aesthetic of our magazine. ​ Length: You may submit up to five poems, each of fifty lines or less. This is a hard limit, unfortunately. ​ Simultaneous Submissions: We do not accept them.  ​ Reprints: We do not accept them at this time, unfortunately. ​ Language: English. ​ Rights: We purchase first world electronic rights and first-world print rights. This means you cannot publish a poem we buy as a first-run or “new” poem anywhere else in the world; this means it can only be published elsewhere as a reprint, typically at a much lower rate.  ​ Payment: We pay $50 per poem. Payment occurs within 30 days of online publication, via PayPal. HOW TO SUBMIT Please send submissions as a .doc or .docx file to Old Moon's email: oldmoonpub@gmail.com Title your email "Submission: [title]." Provide a short, 1-2 line cover letter with the story's name and word count. Please do not provide an intro or synopsis of the story (we like to be surprised). ​ We'd appreciate if your manuscript was in something approaching "Standard Manuscript Format," as well. Via: Old Moon Publishing.

🐌: huh... off topic but the part where you were talking about how cm was born (in your legend of hei au) reminds me of my rotbb (not self insert, not ship) oc's lore which i had based off on burmese buddhist folktales. ig the difference is that i had her be found in a hole of a plum blossom tree and she's considered that tree's daughter because in the burmese buddhist tradition, trees are considered to be another life form the way animals are to humans. more specifically, the older or bigger the tree is, the more likely there is a နတ် (naat) residing in that tree. technically you can consider a နတ် to be a guardian spirit because they do protect and purify the land they are on, plus they have very long lives (not immortal, they can die) since 100 human years is 1 day as a နတ်. and there's also a ranking system for them as well, the closer you are to the human realm the lower your rank and power as a နတ် is. so if someone were to chop down that plum blossom tree it's good-bye to my oc's mother lol. and like she's supposed to be a side character in my xreader fic, the bridge for the reader character and mt hua and im going to kill her off by burning her alive not from saving reader... oh no, that's too boring. she's burned alive on a mission and reader has to watch it all happen etc etc and since she was raised on mt hua values she's surprisingly calm in death and when reader themselves passes their spirit wanders into mt hua but not in the same timeline as my oc.

im sorry i went on a tangent lol i got excited to share the stuff i was cooking... i say that it's an xreader but i dont want to add romance... its icky to me for now... idk i just want to expand on the genres in xreaders in general (rotbb isnt the first fandom ive tried this on) because as much as i love xreader romance its becoming too saturated...? and if i want to read some world building fanfics all of them are related to a ship some way or another and uhhhh i have to make my own fics to scratch my own itch...

sorry for another tangent into ranting ahahah it's 9.30am and i just woke up 😭😭😭😭😭

oooh thats an interesting oc concept..i enjoy reading self inserts sometimes so if u ever wrote this id def be intrigued in reading it..

The resultant putty was then rolled into cylinders or slender sticks and dried. During the mixing process of these holy materials, the rituals were performed, the offerings were presented to Buddha, Holy Guru Monks, Devas, Masters (teachers), and holy spirits.

After the completion of Pong Pattamang Holy Powder, it will be divided into 2 parts, one as “Pong Pattamang”, and another one is for making of the next Pong Itthijay Holy Powder. Then returning to the first process of making the chalk sticks and then follow the second process to drawn Itthijay cabalistic writings with sermons and prayers, and keep repeating the processes for the next 3 holy powders.

[dissonantia-goddess-of-chaos]

Do'zami Zahkahr: [23]

- A young khajiit, who was training to be an alchemist like her mother and grandmother, was caught passing the imperial boarder in an ambush meant to capture Ulfric Stormcloak. After escaping Helgen with several others, and defeated the dragon with Mujee-Naat, she started her journey to master the Way of the Voice. Her birthsign is "the shadow", which enables Do'zami to become invisible once a day for 60 seconds. Her focus skills are Speech, Alchemy, Restoration, and Archery. She is not interested in any factions. Her weapons are bows, daggers, and flame spells. She uses no armor, and rather wear simple robes and clothing. She supports the Imperial Legion and the Dawnguard. She lives in Honeyside, where she can sell her potions to the Thieves Guild and have an alchemy garden. She does not condone theft or unprovoked murder, Skooma, or racial stereotypes. As with some khajiit, she refers to herself in third person, e.i. "Do'zami wishes you a safe trip with good health." and "Do'zami does not like the looks of this." She uses light blue facial warpaint to make small "freckles" on her fur.

Mujee-Naat/"Ashen-Scales"/"Lapis-For-Eyes"/Mujeet: [22]

- A young argonian who wishes to make Skyrim, and all of Tamriel, a better place for her kind and others who are subjected underneath the Nords' wrath. After being falsely captured by the Imperial Legion and was nearly executed in Helgen, and escaped after Alduin attacked, she made friends with Do'zami, and discovered that she is one of three people who are Dragonborn. Thus starts her journey to learn the Way of the Voice. Her birthsign is "the Serpent", which grants her the ability to use a ranged Paralysis poison on opponents once every in-game day. Her focus skills are Alteration, Two-Handed, One-Handed, Blocking, Speech, and Sneak. She is a student at the Bard's College, and plays the lute, drum, and flute. Her main weapon is the bow, which she can use to strike from afar, along with a steel sword and shield, and alteration magic. She wears light iron armor, with a leather and fur cloak to keep her warm. She supports and fought in the Imperial Legion against the Stormcloaks. She supports and fought with the Dawnguard against the vampire invasion. She lives in the Windstad Manor in Morthal, often protecting the town from vampires who like to camp there. Serana likes following her around. She does not support theft and unprovoked murder, but she'll give a few hundred coins to a beggar or encountered thief to avoid conflict. Dating Deja after spending time with her in Solitude.

Willow the Wisp/"Wispdaughter"/"Daughter of the Wispmothers"/"Daughter of the First Dragonborn, Miraak": [died at 20]

- Before the time when dragons returned to Skyrim, Willow was a young maiden who was picking fresh snowberries for her poor family when a drunken huntsman mistaken her for a Wispmother, due to her unnatural beauty and the blizzard that moved into the region they were in. The arrow lodged deep into her chest, and warm blood was spilled onto the cold snow, and the girl fell lifeless and cold. Now, a coven of powerful ice sorceresses who turned themselves into Wispmothers heard the cries of the young woman, and when they found the corpse, became enraged at the huntsman. While the younger spirits gave chase and frozen him solid, the wisest and oldest of the coven, the Pale Lady "Aumriel", carried the girl back to the Frostmere Crypt in The Pale hold. There, within the inner chambers, the coven brought the girl back to life not as one of them, but still in her own skin, yet still changed: her eyes, frozen over, became pale with a blue glow and with cold wisps of steam floating from them; her cheeks sunken in, and like the rest of her flesh, covered in frost; her long and straight hair, once warm black, is now a snow white; her skin is ice cold to the touch, and staying close to her for too long with deprive you of your warmth, energy, and eventually your life force itself (this only happens when it is not cold enough for her to regenerate energy). When she needs to regain her energy, Willow stays still as a statue, hours passing by like seconds for her. And like her "mother and sisters", she possessed the inborn abilities of powerful frost magic, able to summon Frost Atronachs, Ice Wraiths, Wisps, Shades, and her coven to fight for her. When the trio returned the stolen Pale Blade to the Pale Lady, they discovered that Willow was a dragonborn after encasing Do'zami in ice after using the Ice Form shout (Mujee-Naat fortunately got her out before the Khajiit could completely froze to death). After persuading Willow to join them, Aumriel decided that this was the child's destiny, and motivated Willow to leave. After defeating Alduin, Willow was chosen to defeat Miraak due to her resistance of Hermaeus Mora's persuasion attempts—and after a long battle with the First Dragonborn, showing her complete mastery of the Thu'um, Miraak spared her, and when he realized that he was bested by a well-preserved draugr, he had a meltdown. The Wispdaughter felt empathy for him, and instead of feeding on his life force, she embraced the man, understanding that years and years of solitude affected his brain as it did to her's. He asked for forgiveness from her, which angered Hermaeus Mora. The daedra god attempted to slay both Dragonborn, and Willow fought for her and Miraak's sake, and won. With this triumph, she transformed half of his domain into an icy wonderland, and built herself a palace. With Apocrypha and Miraak freed from Hermaeus Mora's grasp, Miraak helped her understand the dragons more and how to befriend them, which also helped both Dragonborns bonding. In the end of her journey, Willow was gifted her own dragon, a large black and vanilla scaled dragon named Deussodovah (part of this mod). Her birthsign is "the Lord", which makes her resistant to both Magicka and physical damage. Her focus skills are Destruction, Conjuration, and Illusion. She joined the Greybeards after her journey ended, and lives in the Deus Mon fort that Miraak built for himself. Her main weapon is Frost magic and the Pale Blade. Her armor is a hybrid of Nocturnal's robe and a Wispmother's wrappings, which gives her a ghostly appearance. She chooses neither side of the war, because she cares less about politics. She does not care about vampires or the Dawnguard. Her only companions are her friends and Deussodovah. She is a very sweet and gentle soul, but is very introverted and hardly ever speaks.

Thorrin "Thorn" Lichengrass: [21]

- A young but idiotic and desperate (Irish) elf who was an orphan in Riften who dreamed about joining the Thieves Guild. When he turned twenty, he finally became a member, but was promptly temporarily suspended for flirting with the women, especially Sapphire... Now, he is journeying around Skyrim, making a few coin grabs and pickpocketing coin purses from old hags, getting into petty fights, and hitting on tavern wenches, manly drunkards, and harlots. When bad luck struck down on him one day, leaving him drunk on ale and mead on the side of the road, Do'zami nursed him back to health (which consisted on her patting him on the back as he was throwing up behind a large rock and giving him clean water after), he decided to join this small group of friends, and finding the true meaning of life isn't all about tomfoolery and having intercourse. His birthsign is "the Thief", which allows him to learn stealth skills 20% faster. His focus skills are Pickpocket, Sneak, and Lockpicking. He planned to join the Dark Brotherhood, but destroyed it after Astrid rejected him. He uses a steel dagger, bow, and duel wields iron swords. He wears Thieves Guild armor, with a sack mask with an open slash for his eyes underneath his hood. He doesn't do politics, and he supports the Dawnguard, but says he supports Vampire Stormcloaks (rebels that are also Volkihar vampires—basically racist vampires) just to get a reaction out of everyone. He still lives in the Ragged Flagon, but usually sleeps on the floor or passed out at a table. He has no companions, other than his current friends, because no one else can tolerate him. He does support theft and unprovoked murder, but only if it's for good intentions and self defense. He keeps trying to flirt with or grope Delphine, who usually beats him up, but eventually wins her over with his patheticness, admiration from afar, and constant compliments. He is just a sore loser who needs gentle kindness.

Selvibrina Turienus/"Selvi": [79]

- An old Imperial woman who was a great sorceress and arcane teacher at the College of Winterhold in her prime, but now due to her old age she cannot cast as much magic as she used to...or that's what her students say to new mages. In truth, Selvibrina Turienus is a daedric witch in secret, accepting quests given to her by the Daedra and the Divines, all for personal gain and power. Her main contractor is Dovah (@joanathedummy). She is a good person at heart, and is truthful about her second life if someone accuses her. She is like a sweet and gentle grandmother to all who knows her. Her birthsign is "the Mage", which helps her learn all magic skills 20% faster. Her focus skills are Enchanting, Illusion, Conjuration, Alteration, Regeneration, and Speech. Her weapons are Destruction and Conjuration magic. Her armor is enchanted hooded robes. She sides with the Imperial Legion, but doesn't mind vampires running around...for their ashes, vampiric blood, night vision eyes, and grounded up fangs, anyway. Her home is Darklight Tower in the Rift hold, self-claimed after she slaughtered all of the old residents within. She does not condone theft and unprovoked murder without reason—but that doesn't stop thugs from trying to rob her, so she only trades goods and services instead of carrying valuable items like gold and jewelry.
