Announcing Feyre Week 2024 Prompts!

art by: niruskyart (twt)

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your patience and waiting as we came up with our prompts for Feyre week 2024! We were sad that there was no Feyre week in 2023 so to make up for it we are making a super-week and offering two prompts a day!

All prompts are completely option and there is ZERO obligation or requirement to do both prompts each day or to follow any prompts super strictly. Please feel free to pick whichever prompt you prefer on any given day you're participating! You may all follow the prompts as loosely or closely as you desire!

Look below for a little blurb about each prompt and some questions to get you thinking!

Monday 3/18:

Lady of Many Faces: As our lady of many faces Feyre has numerous parts of her personality. She's a mother, a high lady, a friend, a sister. She's cunning, kind, mean, thoughtful, nosy, and all sorts of things! How would you like to explore the different facets of Feyre Archeron? What sides of her character do you think could be further explored, or should have been explored?

Immortal With a Mortal Heart: As a Made being who was born human, Feyre may be one with this magical, faerie world, but at her core her heart will always be human. Does she struggle with this? How does her humanity impact her outlook on life and her interactions with others? In 1000 years will her heart still be mortal, or will she lose that part of her?

Tuesday 3/19:

Starfall: What kind of Feyre week would we be without the obligatory Starfall day? Starfall is one of the most beloved scenes from Feyre's journey and signaled a great change in her life! Does Feyre come up with any new traditions for Starfall? How does she celebrate it with Nyx? As of ACOSF, both of her sisters will now be celebrating with her from now on, does she do anything special with them?

New Beginnings: Today (March 19th) is the spring equinox in the Northern hemisphere, and one of the main reasons we chose these dates for our week! There's some speculation that Starfall takes place around this time in the books, and we wanted to honor that. As the frost melts and the seasons change new life blooms for us and for our beloved Feyre. What were Feyre's new beginnings like? How has her life changed? What was it like for her to wake up from her depressive winter "slumber" and come into herself? How has she changed over the course of the series?

Wednesday 3/20:

Cursebreaker: Feyre is the cursebreaker who freed the land from 50 years of suffering. What is having this title like for her? Is it burdensome? Do you think we'll see her breaking any curses in the future? "Cursebreaker" also has quite the intense meaning in the series, how does Feyre feel about that? How could her cursebreaking be explored further?

First of Her Kind: Feyre has done a lot of firsts throughout the series! She is the first to be made as she was. She's the first to come back from the dead bearing the powers of 7 high lords. She is the first High Lady and the first to survive looking into the Ourobouros. Are there any more iconic firsts Feyre will explore? How far can she go?

Thursday 3/21:

Childhood: We know a few scarce details about Feyre's childhood that have been scattered through the books. What more do you wish we knew? What do you imagine her childhood to be like that perhaps wasn't stated in the books? Is there anything you wish happened? How did Feyre interact with people before they fell into poverty? Did she have any interactions with her mother? What about after poverty?

Found Family: Feyre has found a family for herself through the Court of Dreams that is different than the one she was born to. Does she have any special traditions with them? Are there aspects of her relationship with them you wish were added? What's Feyre's domestic life like? How will her relationship with her family grow and change?

Friday 3/22:

AU: What would Feyre be like in alternate universes? What would Feyre look like in our world, another fantasy world, a video game? Anything Feyre AU! There are a million different ways we can imagine Feyre.

Theories: Do you have any Feyre theories, or just theories you really like? Share them with us! What would it be like if those theories were true? What do you imagine for Feyre in future books?

Saturday 3/23:

Warrior: From slaying the Middengard Wyrm to training with Cassian to defending the Rainbow all the way to fighting in the Summer Court with Morrigan, Feyre is a warrior and a fighter. How can we explore this? Does she learn any new fighting styles, or will there possibly be a battle she's needed in?

Jack of all trades: Feyre has many skills and hobbies! She paints, teaches, reads. She's passionate about trade and her work as High Lady. She's redone the entire Night Court budget and was vital in the development of the treaty with Vallahan! She posesses many different skills! Is there any skill you think she's good at or would have that's not explicitly in the books? Do you see her trying to learn anything new? How will she continue growing as a painter? As a teacher? As a High Lady?

Sunday 3/24: FREE DAY!

Reminder, there is no obligation to do both prompts or hit both prompts in your post! Your post does not have to even match the prompts at all. All prompts are there to stimulate your thinking about Feyre and provide options for things you could possibly create!

Let us know if you have any questions!

Hey friends in the Northern Hemisphere! As you may have heard, there's a comet about, so I made this little diagram to help you find it in the sky, because it can be hard to spot. If you're in dark enough skies you may be able to see a fuzzy dot with the naked eye, and binoculars and telescopes help, of course!

Our friend C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is on its way back out of the solar system. It passes earth tonight (Feb 2nd) and thus is at its brightest right now, but it'll continue to be (decreasingly) visible as it moves roughly towards Capella and fades out of the sky over the next few weeks.

After the moon sets (which is the best time to see it!), it'll be about 25 degrees above the horizon. Fun fact: you can measure this with your fists! Extend your arms and stack your fists on the northern horizon, and together they'll be about 20 degrees tall - the comet should be up and to the left of your top fist.

(The little hash marks in the diagram above are also about 20 degrees aka two fists apart, by the way!)

I also put together a little primer on looking at things in space with more tips I've picked up over the years. The basics are:

If you have binoculars, use them! They're literally handheld telescopes, after all

Check the forecast! Clouds are not your friend here. If you're in the US, ClearDarkSky has really excellent cloud forecasts specifically aimed at astronomers!

Get out of the city if you can! Consult a Light Pollution Map to decide what direction gets you to darkness fastest.

If you're having a hard time seeing it, try looking out of the corner of your eye! This is called "averted vision", and works because the edges of your vision are more sensitive to light/dark (at the cost of being worse at seeing color)

Comets If you get the chance, pop outside and bid farewell to this visitor before they zoom back on out to the Oort Cloud for another 50,000 years. Good luck!

Memories of falling stars

Synonpsis: Lucifer, as he falls from grace, starts to remember and look back at his life in the Celestial Realm, as the always sunny sky behind him turns into a dark one full of stars.

A/N: This is another piece for another Lucifer collab ^-^. Lowkey the reason I haven't worked on anything else besides exams coming up

As old as the universe and nearly undying, stars are there to watch as everything unfolds. Humans, demons and even angels, have their lives seen by them, especially the Morningstar himself.

???? Years Before The Fall

"Do you see it, Lucifer? The stars, the constellations, everything the night sky has to offer!" The archangel was looking at him, eyes full of excitement.

"It would be hard not to, when you have been dragging me down to the human world to note down constellations for your planetarium." Pinching the bridge of his nose, Lucifer was trying to ignore his upcoming headache caused by the angel sitting right next to him.

For the past week, Michael has been dragging him down to the human in hopes of getting an image, as clear as possible, for the planetarium that he wanted to build in the Celestial Realm. The Celestial Realm had no nights or starry skies.

"You know, Luci, I am kind of jealous of your trips to Devildom in a way. That place has a constant sky full of stars that remain unbothered by the lights of the kingdom, unlike the human world." The archangel was gesturing vaguely around the empty hills. They were far from any human civilization. As far as the eye could see, there were only hills and forests.

"What did I say about that nickname?" Lucifer tried to give him an annoyed look but it went unnoticed by the other angel. "Also, if you're so jealous of my trips down to Devildom, maybe you shouldn't have pushed that responsibility on me."

Michael only hummed in response, too focused on looking up at the sky to pay any attention to Lucifer. "Such a shame that Orion, the hunter, is not visible in this period. Or, should I say, in this part of the human world."

He finally decided to turn his attention to Lucifer. "It wouldn't hurt to pay more attention to the sky in the Devildom on your next trip. Who knows, maybe I will also do a Devildom inspired planetarium." Lucifer just shook his head at the other angel's antics. "Maybe we should bring Raphael with us next time with us. We could go to the northern hemisphere to see Orion!" Michael said excitedly.

"I don't know how much will he appreciate getting dragged there to watch stars..." Lucifer pointed out what should be obvious.

"Perhaps, but even he can appreciate the story behind constellations. In particular the story of Canis Minor and Canis Major. They did make good hunting dogs for Orion, after all, and Orion never missed his target." Despite the smile on his face, Michael was surrounded by a dangerous aura, which put Lucifer off.

"Whether he agrees to it or not, we should probably head back to the Celestial Realm." Lucifer said, trying to put an end to whatever the archangel was doing. Whatever that feeling was, it sure was an untold warning for something in the future.

174 Years Before The Fall

Coming down to the human world was not something Lucifer had in mind, but he had to when all of his family kept on running away from their responsibilities.

"Look, I am telling ya, that's clearly Perseus! We have to look in that direction if we wanna see the meteor shower!" Mammon kept pointing out in the direction of the constellation, trying to prove his point.

"Could you be any louder? I know we are far from human civilization, but that's no excuse for yelling." Belphie argued back to his brothers. None of them could tell that Lucifer was just a few meters behind them and he didn't intend on revealing himself just yet.

"Besides, you're wrong. What you’re pointing at is the Andromeda constellation!! At least you got the direction of the Perseids close enough..." Belphie continued to argue.

"Now, now, guys, no need to keep on arguing, we came here to have a good time and watch the Perseids. So let's just sit back and enjoy ourselves" Lilith intervened, trying to calm her brothers down.

"Guys, I am starting to feel bad about leaving Lucifer behind. It doesn't feel right for all of us to be here while he’s still back in the Celestial Realm.." Beel looked in the direction of where they came down to Earth. If only he looked a little bit lower, he would be able to see Lucifer.

"I mean, it can't be helped. We ditched our responsibilities to come down here." Levi mumbled. "Even if he allowed us to put our chores for later, he’s still a seraphim! He’s way too busy to just come down to relax with us-"

"If all of you wanted to see the meteor shower so badly, you could’ve just told me from the start. I would’ve figured out something, so that all of us could’ve spent some time together." Lucifer interrupted Levi, finally deciding to come out of the shadows. It honestly hurt him a bit to hear how his younger brother talked about him. That he was far too busy to spend time with his younger siblings. Of course, he didn't express his feelings to any of them, especially when they were still screaming from being scared by his sudden appearance.

"How long have you been standing there?" They exclaimed, but he didn't really pay any mind to this question. Especially when he saw a Perseid from the corner of his eyes.

"For long enough. But now it's not the time to discuss all of this. The meteor shower is about to start." He sat down next to them on the grass, and pointed towards the Perseids that started to show up across the starry night.

All conversations ceased for the time being. They’ll have enough time to discuss things after the meteor shower had finished.

1 Day Before The Fall

I t was rare for rain to come down in the Celestial Realm, let alone one with lighting and thunder. And even if it did, it only happened in places outside of the grand palace. The storm caught everyone by surprise; angels were running left and right trying not to get their wings wet. They were all feeling rather uneasy with this sudden weather change. Everyone felt that something big was about to happen, but no one knew exactly when would this be or what would it be.

There were whispers and rumors about an angel that broke the rules, and was about to be severely punished, but everyone still felt like there was more to come.

Amidst the sea of angels that were seeking shelter from the rain or running to dry off their wings, it was all too easy to slip away from everyone without being noticed. Such was the case of Belphegor, who decided to sneak into the planetarium.

He would lie if he were to say that he couldn't sleep simply from the rain, but it's not like he could explain his feelings either. Lilith's judgment was about to come, and everyone hoped for the best.

Father surely wouldn’t harm her, right? Michael surely wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on her. Raphael wouldn't point his spear towards her… or maybe he would — he attacked angels for less. Every time he started to worry, he kept thinking about how Lucifer would not let anyone harm their younger sister. As long as their older brother was there to protect them and resolve this incident, nothing bad will happen… right?

He fell asleep at the thought of everything getting resolved, with the image of Lucifer talking some sense into everyone's heads. There was no need to worry, the Morning Star himself surely knows what to do. He couldn't wait until everything was over and everyone could go back to how things used to be.

Despite falling deeper and deeper into unconsciousness, he could still feel the presence of a certain angel, and how his 12 wings would drag on the floor as he put a blanket over him. The last thing he could remember was a hand brushing his hair away from his face. And so, two angels rested in the planetarium.

If both of them were to look at the planetarium’s ceiling right now, they would see Pavo, the peacock constellation. With the way the planetarium was moving, it shouldn't have been there, but from the moment Lucifer stepped into the room, and up until the moment he left, the constellation never left its place, up on the top of the planetarium’s ceiling.

The Fall

His wings were useless, all of them. What good was it to have six sets of wings, when at that moment they couldn't stop his fall. They couldn't carry on in his fight for his family, for his sister.

Since the moment he heard about Lilith's punishment, there was only noise. From the pleading of his younger brothers, to his screaming at his Father and the declaration of war, there was only noise. Weapons clashing, screaming and yelling about betrayals. He didn't even realize how much noise there was until everything went silent but somehow, that was still louder.

The only thing that he could feel was the pain all over his body, but it still didn't match his fury and his fear. Pure and genuine anger towards his Father, and fear for his brothers. He couldn't hear them and he couldn't see them. They were nowhere to be found.

The only thing that he could see was the vast sky changing its color. No longer was the bright blue sky with clouds as white as an angel's father surrounding him, but a dark sky full of shining stars. Stars that he recognized all to easy from his trips to the Devildom. Constellations such as Cruetum Sagitta, the bloody arrow, and Lapsus Bellator, the fallen warrior, were adorning the sky.

Bittersweet memories of helping Michael with his planetarium, star gazing with his brothers and spending time with his brother Belphegor under the starry night were flashing before his eyes. In that moment, he wished he didn’t know anything about the sky. It felt as if even the stars themselves were laughing at his and his family's fate.

He turned his attention back to searching for his siblings, even a glimpse of them was more than good, anything to know that they were at least alive. His wings were broken, and if it were up to him, he would rip them apart mid fall, but his eyes were still good, as along as he was still going he would continue to search for them. No reason to focus on things that were unnecessary at the moment.

At least, that's what he kept telling himself. He couldn't help but notice the way seven new stars appeared on the night sky. Each star for one of the angels that fell from grace that day. When did he even got so preoccupied with astronomy? He really spent too much time with Michael before the war.

hello hi yes lovely human, it is fall in the northern hemisphere (spring where you are), but I kindly request some information regarding snakes and lattes, the lovely fic you have written for us peasants that hasn't been updated in a while.

I am having withdrawals and only ask because it is one of the few things in my meager life that brings me joy and you are extremely talented when it comes to slow burn, but also writing as a whole.

No pressure, of course, just curious. I hope you're doing well.

hugs and kisses from howl pendragon

sweet howl anon <333

i'm sorry it took a while to respond, but you should know that the notif put big smile on my face and unburned my bacon

i wish wish wish i could trade your fall for my spring! i hope it's crisp and kind to you.

spring is hardly a season at all here, it's more like a threat that reminds you summer isn't as far away as you'd like it to be. however, i've made my peace with it. i have in fact embraced many more visits to the sea, as well as a new hobby of hunting down citrus fruits i've never tried before from various fresh food markets around town. apparently sumo mandarins are super common and popular, but i had never tried one before. i can't get enough of them now!

onto our unupdated story

i didn't want to give a boring "i'm working on it" or "one day" response because it's such a sweet message and you're a wizzard and that means i need to get fancy. SO. please accept this top secret never before seen evidence of Chapter Art for the next chapter:

and a chapter title: "At Twilight, Follow The Bird."

the chapter is 90% finished, and the migraine that kept me from writing it for months seems to have mostly cleared up. the next installment will immediately follow a recap "interlude" chapter i've also written with added notes for ease of further reading.

thanks for your continued interest in spite of all the seasons that passed us in between <3

i really do hope you're keeping well

[genderqueerdykes]

Hi I asked something before but here I am again. I've been wondering for a while now what to do with my curves since they give me the most dysphoria. From the front my thighs are too curvy and from the side my back and *ahem* bottom basically shape me like an S and idk how to fix it.

Is it different clothing? Should I work out? Would compression fabric work best or is T the answer? I'm (non-binary) genderfluid and uncomfortable with the idea of facial hair, bottom growth and just looking too masc so idk :(. Ty for listening

ooo i feel you, i have a very obvious hourglass figure and it gets people thinking all the wrong things at times. in the earlier stages of my transition it was even harder because i was a bit fatter so my curves were more noticeable

i would say experiment with your wardrobe first- i used to have compression shorts from underworks that i was obsessed with that helped reign in my hips a lot! you can also try men's jeans with a different cut, or by wearing them at a slightly different place on your hips. sometimes the fabric helps a ton, nothing that clings, anything that hangs loose and obscures the figure is vital. you want to try to reduce visible outlines when and where possible.

anything that hangs loosely around the waist will help as well since having a very cinched in waist is very noticeable for some people. i usually would wear several loose layers to help combat this as well as experimenting with different types of loose jackets, shirts and vests

men's shorts can also distract from curviness, but i know it's winter in the northern hemisphere right now so this may not apply for the time being. i like bulky cargo pants because there's a lot going on so it distracts from your body lol

i hope that helped. like i said, i recommend checking out underworks and other places that offer compression shorts you can wear underneath your clothes. i think that'll help you. if you get to the point where these things don't help and you're still considering taking T, feel free to come back and we'll see what we can do for you. if anyone else has recommendations for this anon feel free to chime in! take care, stay safe.

We need to get some things done here we've got more than that son is having problems and he's spending money and too much of it and we need to get things fixed and we need to start doing a lot of it now we need to help him spend a payoff bills he's got a small bill now he's owes money to his credit card and we need to have him get money what they're doing here is awful. We have to start to stop them and we need to use force and we need to use force immediately. he's trying to draw them off it's working it's not working enough an There will be wars starting with the war over the trump stashes and cashes and nuclear bunkers and it will over shadow the war against the pseudo empire for only a couple weeks and Trump will be destroyed utterly he will not have a forest left to sass and harass people with and he's a little imp and he's dead because of it. What does shameless little loser he is soon to be gone because he wants to sit there and yell insult sent us and for Christ sake it's very true he is a moron he keeps saying he has all this stuff people kill him for it he's died because of his lies many many times and it's gross he's sitting there insulting us right now but it's very true that his time is going to be over soon and once these areas start to drop people will go for the weaponry and they will slaughter his people mercilessly and he's deluded and doesn't think it will happen it's going to be horrible for them and it's the end of the line no more time to sit around chewing on people screwing around with people who are helpless you're going to be dead meat so you probably should try and stop Tommy F instead of siding with him for people to get really upset and I read and really into it and maybe you can think about that for a year trump.

--- And right now he's saying he's going ahead and allowing Tommy F to do it and we believe him he is slow and stupid and damaged and he's always been very obtuse and he is a **** in front of the world as Trump. There are other things going on of course lots of other things

--- The other war is this war with the Pseudo Empire and that's gonna open up too and dissolve Trump and between those two wars he'll be out very soon but he has started things elsewhere and they will pursue him there and it's with his crappy cities he is having worse with regular cities and they vowed to destroy him and they shall and they wish to take it over and they're going to armies are amassing at this time.\

--- Other news it is well into the Western Hemisphere's conflict and that is with the Pseudo Empire it is going to be a hell of a day coming up there's a lot of people who are afraid of what's gonna happen here it's a mild evacuation to say the least but it will increase in amplitude as hostilities increase and there's a huge three way out there and the clones are coming in and they are going after Trump and his people mostly also in the West the Pseudo Empire is getting beaten up they have a lot of bases in northern New England and those bases are under strict assault and people are getting hit badly and they're at 90% of capacity but after tonight probably 80% of capacity and we feel that they recover in the Eastern Hemisphere the pseudo empires recovering so far they are at 50% capacity and by tomorrow morning they probably will be at 60% but they're calling people from a populace and they are becoming weak.

--- There's other things going on and they're pretty big we've had a heck of a day here we had to send a lot of people in it got repulsive and he went to the store and helped out a lot you can see them. And what a bunch of jerks. But this conflict with the Pseudo Empire is heating up and becoming huge soon it'll be very huge and enormous and it is going to become larger because of the fighting with the clones which will increase and the people here trying to kidnap our son to no end they will be destroyed and the stashes and cash war with Trump will increase the hostilities here with the pseudo empire thereafter a bunch of it too which leads us to the West in the status.

Your Weekly Tunes: Softy

This week, we’re kicking it off with our resident teddy bear, Virgil! Expect lots of acoustic songs that scream coffee shops, flannel, and warmth to celebrate the start of autumn here in the Northern hemisphere. Also, if you have any song recommendations or would like to share your thoughts/favorites, you are more than welcome to! 💚

YouTube

Spotify

Songs below the cut are the ones we’ve deemed the top five from the playlist for Virgil:

Free: Florence + the Machine- “ But I hear the music/ I feel the beat/ And for a moment/ When I'm dancing, I am free” and “Is this how it's always been?/ To exist in the face of suffering and death/ And somehow still keep singing”

Between the lyrics and the tempo of this song just feel so right with Virgil. The idea of being so weighed down by emotions but feeling the lightness of music despite it all is so reflective of him. It’s one of the more upbeat songs on the playlist!

Surface Pressure: Jessica Darrow- “ I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is” and  “Under the surface/ I hide my nerves, and it worsens, I worry something is gonna hurt us/ Under the surface/ The ship doesn't swerve as it heard how big the iceberg is/ Under the surface/ I think about my purpose, can I somehow preserve this���

This one might not even need much of an explanation, ha! Out of all the brothers, Virgil embodies Luisa the most from his physique to the emotional burden he takes on more than Scott (or John, for that matter). And as we imagine Virgil as the middlest brother with John and Scott older while Alan and Gordon are younger, he ends up in this in between where he has to be the gap between the two sides of their brother unit.

It Takes a Lot To Know a Man: Damien Rice- “It takes a lot to give, to ask for help/ To be yourself, to know and love what you live with” and “What are you so afraid to lose?/ What is it you're thinking that will happen if you do?”

This song. Enough praises cannot be sung about Damien Rice and this song is one of his best. It’s an emotional call out, especially when the climax of the end hits with multiple lines being sung over each other in mimicry of that little nagging voice in the back of your head finally becoming too loud. For Virgil, it’s something representative of the trials he’s been through to learn others but perhaps not himself. Here is an incredible live version of this song that Damien Rice does with a choir, which you all should really really really watch.

They Call Me Doc: Aaron Lewis- “ 'Cause I've seen it all, helped heroes who fall/ Picked them up 'til they stand tall/ And I've been in the field and worked down to the bone/ To make sure all my brothers get back home” and “You'll never know the heartache/ Of lookin' a grown man in the eye/ When he asked you, "Am I gonna make it?"/ And you've got to lie”

Try not to imagine Virgil being the narrator, out in the field during a rescue, playing medic to strangers and brothers alike. Trust us, try not to unless you want to end up bawling.

3 a.m.: Gregory Alan Isakov- “Give me darkness when I’m dreaming/ give me moonlight when I’m leaving/ Give me shoes that weren’t made for standing/ Give me tree-line, give me big sky, get me snow-bound, give me rain clouds give me a bed time…/ Just sometimes” and “Well now i just walk, well i don’t mind the rain/ But I’ve been singing so much softer than i did back then”

If it wasn’t mentioned before, Gregory Alan Isakov is another artist that will be popping up a lot. His vibes are pretty much Midwestern USA paired with astronauts, satellites in cornfields, and quiet nights with a dash of folk. This song specifically in relation to Virgil feels like a testament to young Virgil making his way in the world. And now that he’s older, reflecting back on it in some off-spoken way

Space dragons!!!! I'm curious, how do you think they'd navigate? I'm thinking about birds and magnetic fields, or sailors and stars, but both those things have complications when you're in literal space (aaaahh I'm so excited by this idea! Congrats on the very cool concept)

thank you!!!! I am very excited about it too. I have been yelling at @siarven about it nonstop for a week I'm sure they're sick of me by now (thank you quinn <3).

quickly googles magnetic fields because I got a B minus in E&M a year ago during quarantine and don't remember any of it

ok disclaimer all of the ahead is magic-technobabble and only somewhat-plausable theorizing on the part of a chemical engineering junior who should really be doing their mass separations homework.

The earth's magnetosphere is caused by the dynamo effect because the inside our our planet's outer core is made of molten iron and nickel alloy that's spinning really heckin fast and creating an electromagnetic field that encases the planet. It functions as a shield to keep our planet from getting blasted with UV rays and solar winds, which is quite useful for enabling survival and makes pretty auroras whenever they hit near the poles.

The catch is that asteroids don't have cores, much less molten ones. They're too small for gravity to make that happen. But what I am wondering is if the movement of the asteroids themselves (if enough of them were made of metal instead of rock) would generate a magnetic field in kind of a donut shape around the entire asteroid belt following the right hand rule, where the "current flow" isn't electrical flow but the movement of asteroids... If the magnetic field plausibly existed, I could then handwave that the dragons could have the ability to sense it and follow it home. Let me go bug one of my physics friends and get back to you on that.

“Real science” aside, my magic system is already loosely based off electromagnetism. There are 6 main kinds of magic that fall under two groups. External magic means you can effect the world around you but don’t hold any energy/power inside yourself, and includes manipulation, amplification, and nullification. Internal magic means you struggle to control what the magic does once it leaves your body, but you always carry a store of power, and includes generation, storage, and release. Everything has a magical “fingerprint” - most people have one favored type but can dabble in the others in their group with effort and training, while plants, animals, rocks, ect. all default to a “natural state.”

I could also say that each world has it’s own magical fingerprint that’s an average/accumulation of everything living on it’s surface + the makeup of the rock/metal in the asteroid itself. (and oh hey that gives me an idea for my universe as a whole...and names in runaways... maybe this could fix my connection issue)... Memorizing a planet’s magical signal would be kind of like like memorizing a song based only on the frequency waves without hearing it ever. But things that are born on that world share a part of that waveform in their own magical DNA. A dragon could find their way home by finding which planet resonates with their magic!

And of course constellations would be a way to navigate - just because you leave the planet doesn’t mean the whole sky changes so long as you stay in your same solar system. Yes the perspective would move, but bouncing around the asteroid ring would be the equivalent of our sky changing from summer to winter or the northern to southern hemispheres. It would be a lot to keep track of, but anyone who can can memorize/bring along a star map and a good sense of direction and they’d probably be ok.

Part 10 Part 12

Part 11

The next few days were monotonous. Most mornings, I would go to the gym. Then I'd head off to work. After work, I'd take Perrin for a walk. We stopped at the dog park a few times to throw the ball. Then I'd go home and read or watch tv. After dinner, I would FaceTime Liam before falling asleep.

Although I missed him terribly, it had been good to have some space. I was able to think about us a bit. Liam was always great on the phone, a gentleman even. Yes, he flirted with me and made inappropriate comments, but they were always in context. I'd be lying if I said I didn't flirt with him back. But it was nice to get to know him better, and I decided I definitely liked him as a person and a lover. He was sweet, sincere, funny and warm, the same as he was when he was Will. He seemed to accept who I was. There were no digs at me, maybe some friendly ribbing, but it seemed he liked me too. We spent a lot of time laughing. We had a similar sense of humour.

He opened up about some of his past relationships, how he felt about them and what went wrong. A lot of the times, he admitted to fault, especially in the early ones. I talked a bit about Andy but kept a lot back. No doubt, he noticed.

Thursday afternoon changed everything.

Liam called me when I was driving home from work at about four-thirty. It broke with our routine. We usually spoke around nine o'clock. I answered the phone, and Liam's voice came through the speakers.

"Hello, Sweetheart. How was your day?"

I smiled at this now familiar greeting. "Really good, Liam. How was yours? Have you finished work already?"

"Yeah, good. I'm supposed to stay for another hour, but I wasn't needed, so I left." Liam paused and said, "Listen, Lana, I have to tell you something."

"Oh, no."

"Yesterday, a parent from your school saw the pictures of us." I went cold. I was 10 minutes from my house, but I pulled over. "She left a message on one of the pictures that you look like a teacher from her kid's school." Oh shit. "Anyway, this morning, you were on duty at the "kiss and drop", whatever that is."

Robotically I said, "it's where the parents drop the kids off at school without getting out of the car." I could see where this is as going.

"Right." He sounded strange but continued. "Well, they took a picture of you, put that side by side with the others. Long story short, Sarah was called to confirm your name."

"Oh, for fucks sake." I was pissed off. "What did she tell them?"

"She said she couldn't confirm or deny."

"In other words, yes, but my boss said, don't say anything."

"That's a bit unfair, Lana. She can't lie to them, or they won't bother calling her when they get a story. They will just run it because they can't trust what she says."

"Fuck this," I said and hung up on Liam.

I slammed my foot down on the accelerator and spun the tires. I had a Toyota Camry SX. It's sort of sporty, but it's not meant to be driven like that, but I was fuming. Liam rang again, but I ignored it. I backed off and slightly and rounded a corner, tires chirping as I went. I fumbled in my bag, driving one-handed until I found and lit a cigarette. As stupid as it was, I drove the rest of the way home like that.

When I got home, I quickly changed into my Draggin jeans, leather jacket and riding boots. I grabbed my helmet, gloves and went for a ride.

I loved being on the bike. Andy was the first guy I'd been with who rode. I remembered the first time he got me on the bike. He hadn't even let the clutch out, and I screamed and jumped off. The second time was better, and I went around the block before I got off. The third time, I was hooked. I loved holding onto his waist as we rode, my chest pressed against his back, my thighs touching his, my hands under his t-shirt. I loved the heavy thrumming of the bike, the wind whistling past. It was exciting, erotic, but also calming. Calming is what I needed.

I was so angry. Not at Liam or Sarah. Or even the bitch who outed me or the others who put my photo out there in the first place. I didn't know who I was angry with. Hollywood? Gossip? Social media? Myself? Maybe I was mad at myself. I deserved it. I'd turned my back on Andy, fucked another guy, and now I'm in a relationship with him, according to public record. Every time someone googles my name, his will come up.

The parents at school will give me looks, and I won't know what they are thinking. Will they be laughing at me? And if it didn't work out, everyone would know. I would have to go through a break up while everyone watched, picked at it, chose sides and commented.

I rode for about an hour up through the Blue Mountains. When I stopped for petrol at Wentworth Falls, my thoughts had settled, and I was thinking clearer. I stopped at a cafe, got a coffee and checked my phone. Liam had called twice more and sent a few messages. Riza had called and texted me.

I checked Riza's first. It was a link to an article, Liam Cross's Secret Aussie Lover. Her text simply said, "Jen just found this. Call me if you need me." I didn't click the link.

I checked Liam's. He said he wants to make sure I'm ok. Then he said he wants to come over and talk to me.

I called Liam. He seemed to answer before it even rang. "Sweetheart. Are you ok?" He sounded a bit frantic.

I took a deep breath. "I'm sorry I snapped at you."

"I knew you'd be upset."

"Upset is one thing. I snapped at you and blamed Sarah. You're right. It's not her fault."

"Lana, don't worry about that. Did you read the article?"

"No."

Liam was quiet a while. Then he said, "Are you ok now?"

"Yeah, I'm ok. I just needed some time to calm down." I let out a short laugh. "I am a redhead after all. I have a temper."

Liam laughed, "Do I have to be worried about being stabbed in my sleep?"

"Nah, being a redhead wouldn't make me do that. I get that part of me from being a Scorpio."

"I don't know whether to be scared or turned on right now."

I smirked, "Why not be both?"

Liam laughed and then got serious. "You sure you're ok? Do you want me to come over? I almost did get in my car when you wouldn't answer."

"Stalker," I teased.

"And that's why I didn't."

"I'm not at home anyway."

"Where are you?"

"I took off on the bike to clear my head. I'm in the mountains right now."

"The mountains?"

"Yeah, the Blue Mountains. Look west tomorrow, and you'll see them."

"I'll do that." Liam paused. "I'm really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow."

"I'm looking forward to seeing you too. Bye, Liam."

"Bye, Sweetheart."

I finished my coffee and rode home.

I texted Riza to let her know I was ok. I played with Perrin. I texted my brother to remind him to pick Perrin up tomorrow afternoon. I ate some dinner before packing my bag for tomorrow and went to bed. It was a long time before I finally fell into a restless sleep.

Liam Cross's Secret Aussie Lover

"Pictures of Liam Cross, 38, with an unknown female were circulating on social media earlier this week, and tongues were set wagging.

"Users were quick to put their detective hats on and tracked down Cross's new flame late yesterday. The woman was identified as Mrs Alana Walker, 30, Sydneysider, and special education teacher. Not much else is known about Mrs Walker other than she was widowed in 2017.  Her husband, Andrew Walker, and father Brian Kelly were killed in a horrific Boxing Day crash when his car was destroyed by a truck driver who had a medical incident behind the wheel.

"Sources close to Cross say that he has been elated the past couple of months, and now they know why. They hope for his sake that this relationship will not be plagued by scandal like his previous relationships.

"For now, Cross's camp is remaining tight-lipped on the situation. While they don't deny a relationship, they will not confirm it.

"Cross is currently in Sydney for an adaptation of the widely popular and romantic fantasy epic Beyond the Stones series by C. W. Taylor. He will co-star alongside Australian Myra Roberts with an expected release in the northern hemisphere winter of 2022."

I woke on Friday morning and laid in bed for a while. I should have gone to the gym, but I just couldn't get my body to move. I wanted to chuck a sickie, blow off the whole day, maybe go for a swim, or just watch movies all day. I had an urge to watch Kill Bill for some reason. But I couldn't do that to the kids.

I knew I was just trying to avoid the parents at school. I'm sure most of them know by now. Gossip runs rampant at the school gate. We've all seen Big Little Lies. Probably all the staff knew too. It was one of those days where I wish I could just press fast forward and get to the part where I see Liam again. I didn't want to miss out on that.

In the end, I got up, showered and got ready for work. I tamed my hair, put on my war paint and dressed in black work pants, ballet flats and a pink knitted cardigan.

I started to pack my bag for the weekend, trying to work out what outfits I needed. I had decided what I wanted to wear for dinner tonight, but I didn't know what to wear to bed. Would I even need anything to wear? I blushed at the thought. I packed a basic set of pyjamas. I added jeans and a couple of t-shirts, a hoodie and my Dr Martens. I put some pretty underwear in there too. I didn't have much, just a white lace set which Liam had already seen and two black lace sets. I packed them all.

My phone beeped, and I got a message from Liam. It was a picture of his face all sweaty from working out. He had his tongue sticking out. He had written, I was going to send you a picture of my cock but thought that was a bit vulgar. So I decided to send you a picture of another part of my body that's going to fuck you tonight. Can't wait x.

My whole body grew hot, my stomach filled with butterflies, and I giggled. I started to reply with 'cheeky bastard', but then I had an idea. I sent him a picture of my face with my mouth open in an O shape, and I rested a finger on the corner of my lower lip. I wrote, I was going to send you a picture of my pussy but thought it was a bit obvious. So I sent you a picture of another part of my body that's going to get fucked tonight. X

Within a minute, I got a reply of: Game on, Sweetheart.

Well, if Liam wants to play a game, I can play a game.

I pulled my pyjamas out of my bag and put in a satin shift, pretty much my only sexy bedclothes. I thought about what other sexy photos I could take and packed a few other things. Then I made my lunch and headed off to work.

I rang Riza on the way to work. She asked me about how I was feeling. I told her I was dealing with it, but I said no more about it. I asked Riza about how she and Jen were going, and she said we would meet up soon.

"I miss you," she said.

"Yeah, I miss you too. Talk soon, ok?"

"Yeah, have a good weekend slut! Tell Liam I said hi."

"Suck a dick Riz."

We hung up, and almost immediately, Dave calls.

He doesn't say hello or anything, just launches in with, "Are you dating Liam Cross?" Fuck. "One of Lucy's friends just sent her an article about you and him."

No use denying it then. "Yeah, I am. He's the one I'm spending the weekend with." I braced for his reply.

"Fuck me dead. My fucking little sister is rooting Liam fucking Cross." His voice didn't sound angry. He sounded impressed.

I rolled my eyes. "It's not a big deal. Just don't forget to get Perrin and don't tell Mum."

"Not a big deal? The kids will go crazy when they meet him."

"Dave, we are hardly at the point where we are meeting families."

"Yeah, alright, keep your shirt on."

"I'll come by Sunday arvo to pick Perrin up?"

"Wanna stay for dinner?"

"Yeah, ok. See you then."

I ended the call and got to work not long after that. I went straight to my classroom, trying to avoid everyone. There was one person I couldn't avoid, and that was Marla, my teacher's aide. She was in her late 50s, though, so I thought she would be pretty safe. She didn't mention anything all morning, which was a relief.

At lunchtime, I stayed in the classroom. I told Marla I had some work to do, so she left me alone. I checked my phone and found a message from Liam.

It was a picture of Liam drinking from a bottle of pineapple juice, and it said, Me hydrating for tonight x.

His innuendo made me chuckle, but I had planned for something like this. I took a selfie of myself with a banana in my mouth and sent it with the caption: Presumptive much? Me carbo-loading for tonight.

Liam replied a little later with, I can't decide if I'm winning because my pics are better or if I'm still winning because yours are better.

Marla came back into the classroom about halfway through lunch. She pottered around the room, trying to look busy. She kept looking over at me. I felt myself start to panic. She wasn't acting like that this morning. She must know now. They all must know. I started wondering what everyone was saying about me in the staff room. They had probably sent Marla back to the classroom to see what information they could get out of me. The panic receded, and anger filled the void.

Eventually, I lost my temper. "Have you got something to say, Marla?"

Marla had the good grace to look ashamed. "No. Nothing."

I crossed my arms. "What are they saying?"

Marla sighed, "honestly? They're mostly pretty stoked about it. Happy for you."

I let my arms fall. My vision went a bit blurry. "Really?"

Marla came over and leaned against the table, and rubbed my back. "Oh, Darl, yeah, most of us remember what it was like for you. We just want you to be happy."

I smiled at her, but the tears still came. Marla gave me a tissue. "Thanks, Marla." I sniffed, "ugh, the parents, though. I'm not looking forward to that."

Marla smiled and said, "don't worry about it, Darl. I'll fill in for ya this arvo, and you can do my Wednesday lunch duty. How's that?" I thanked her. Relieved, I hugged her and cleaned myself up.

When school had finished, I made a mad dash to the car park. I knew I was just putting off the inevitable. I'd have to show my face in front of the parents sooner or later, but I decided it was Monday's problem.

I checked my phone before I headed off to Liam's place. He had sent me a shirtless picture of himself with some rope curled up around his shoulder and written, One of my costumes has a rope. It made me think of you. I'm about to leave. See you soon.

Dammit, I couldn't think of a response to that one! I sat and thought about it for ages. I was not about to give in easily. Then it came to me. I got my water bottle and one of my spare undies from my overnight bag. I wet them a bit, put the underwear and water bottle on the bag and took a picture of them both. I wrote. My water bottle leaked in my bag, and my panties got wet. It made me think of you. I'm on my way.

The three circles came up within seconds, and Liam sent, You are in so much trouble, Sweetheart. Park around the back.

And because I can't control my tongue in real life or texts, I wrote back, That's what she said.

I didn't wait for a reply. I just put an audiobook on and drove.

💫🔮🖤Wednesday Pick-A-Card Reveals🖤🔮💫

If you haven't had a chance to yet, take a moment to quiet your mind, maybe make some tea, take a breath, and choose a card that calls to you. (Original post is linked here.)

[ Image Description: Three stacks of tarot cards laid face down on a black cloth. Each stack is a pair with one card from two different decks. The bottom card is slightly larger and the backs depict a tree with sun rays on water, the Earth Magic Oracle, and the card on top, placed over the lpwer right quarter of the bottom card, has a light blue back with a white rose emblem in the center, a Smithe-Waite deck. The stacks are labeled 1, 2, and 3 left to right, and above each of the three stacks is a tumble crystal, a red jasper, serpentine, and fluorite, respectively. End ID. ]

And when you're ready...

Here are your messages...

1 | Waterfall - Effortless and Ten of Swords, reversed: This pairing insists that we find radical acceptance in our lives and surrender to the flow. Allow yourself to try new things, to let go of old pain and worry, to look honestly at what's transpired and what of that past trauma is weight you've chosen to carry. Sometimes we are so hurt that our wounds become part of our identity and as much as we would like to heal, it is difficult to separate from what we are healing from. Take this opportunity to practice coming down out of your frantic mind and breathing into your heart space, relaxing the tension there and letting it go. You may be apprehensive that you can't see what's at the bottom of this waterfall, but trust that whatever rests beyond is better than staying in the familiar, stuck and slowly worn away by life's flow like rocks in a river. It is not easy, and it is often not something you must face only once, but it is best you begin from where you are now. Trust in this place of knowing that something has to change (almost definitely an internal change, with the fluid emotion of water and the swords of the mind) and allowing yourself to do so. The ten of swords reversed can also signal relapse. It's easy to fall back into old habits, but do not let the complexity and effort of your healing drive you back into the simplicity of your sickness. If the relapse has already occurred, know that you can keep moving forward, you haven't lost all your incredible progress, and this, too, can teach you so much healing.

[ Image Description: Two tarot cards laid on a black cloth with a  tumbled red jasper stone next to them. The card on the left is larger and depicts a tall waterfall crashing down a mountainside. The card to the right is upside down and depicts a figure lying facedown before a still body of water, their back pierced by swords. End ID. ]

2 | Shaman - Ancient Healing Wisdom and King of Pentacles, reversed: You think you've got it all together, that your material successes are proof that everything in your life is going fantastic, but some little piece of you is warning you, has been warning you for quite a while, that it's time to reevaluate and reprioritize. How do you define success? Happiness? Accomplishment? Do you find yourself overindulging in material goods and luxuries? Just because you can doesn't mean you should. There's a deep imbalance in your spiritual being, and the shine of being able to treat yourself to things you thought once unattainable is wearing off. Perhaps you even overestimated your abundance and are watching bills pile up. What are you chasing with the purchases? What do you keep hoping to acquire or feel with these luxuries? Because you're not getting that satisfaction and, spoiler, the next purchase won't be The One. It's time to stop bullshitting yourself and cut the attitude, get real with yourself and figure out what you really want. Not possessions or even necessarily experiences. What do you want to feel? Peace? Fulfillment? Purpose? This exploration is going to feel very uncomfortable, you haven't been truly vulnerable in a long time, but if you ever hope to stay out of debt and free of the nagging sensation for more, you need to figure out, deeply and honestly, what you actually want out of life. 

[ Image Description: Two tarot cards laid on a black cloth with a  tumbled serpentine stone next to them. The card on the left is larger and depicts a tight portrait of an elder shaman. The card to the right is upside down and depicts a figure seated on a throne, surrounded by grape vines which also decorate their robes, and looking down at the pentacle they hold on their knee. There are carvings of bulls on the throne. End ID. ]

3 | Spring Equinox - Rebirth and Nine of Pentacles: How timely! Though for me here in the northern hemisphere, it will soon be autumn, the southern hemisphere is getting ready to welcome spring. Wherever you are, this shift is one of assessing all your work and letting the next phase take over. For some of you this is a job change or a move, for others, you've finished a big project and are on to the next. For those of you welcoming spring, this rebirth will feel in alignment with nature blossoming all around you, but for those of us in the north coming into dreary weather and falling leaves, part of rebirth is first falling into decline. It's all part of the same cycle. We're harvesting, both literally and metaphorically, and most importantly this moment of equilibrium gives us all an opportunity to step back and take in where we are right now. Feel the flow and balance of this season and celebrate that, whichever part of the cycle you're in, rebirth is in motion. For some it's coming out of a long stretch of hard work or rough times with new energy and opportunity, and for others it's finally getting to rest and step back, but your rewards will be coming all the same. This rest, too, can be a harvest. 

[ Image Description: Two tarot cards laid on a black cloth with a  tumbled fluorite stone next to them. The card on the left is larger and depicts a goddess of spring, hair tangled with vines and surrounded by animals. The card to the right depicts a figure standing in a lush garden, ripe and ready for harvest, and holding aloft and falcon. End ID. ]

The Feels seem so fun to dance! and Cry For Me..sexy(๑°ㅁ°๑)‼✧ i didnt know the song ive loved it ☆♡ actually i knew very few songs by them before (their songs usually didnt hit much) i think I Cant Stop Me was probably my fave but you're getting me into them now ~♡ i also really loved 1, 3, 2 omggggg... !!!♡♡♡♡  (・-・*)♪

・*:..｡o○☼*ﾟ・*:..｡o○☼*ﾟ・*:..｡o○☼*ﾟ

and i only mentioned Lorelei before but then i remembered Galaxy and how much i like it❤️���🔥 actually i think i like almost every song by them even if they are not my fave style but they are so nice to listen to! ive listened to sojung's songs and yeah i like ballads to an extent but her voice is sososososo pretty exactly the kind of voice i enjoy the most!😲😳 i did like her songs tho! I'll come back with my fave later

・*:..｡o○☼*ﾟ・*:..｡o○☼*ﾟ・*:..｡o○☼*ﾟ

and yeahhh i know... new idols are generally talented but so much focus is put into insane production and technology and weird stuff... it's definitely impressive but seldom original and often tiring... im not interested in getting into them cause they are too young but everytime i listen to most songs im like ??? i do like stayc a lot tho.

and yeah dancing is very fun! but when we do ggs😭 cause as i said the bgs they choose sound all the same so i dont know where to put the moves lol.. do u like dancing? o(^^o) (o^^)o do u sing or play an instrument? i sing ~♡

ok I'll come back later mwahhhhhhhh ily

-💗

hiii lovely anon 🤍 i hope you're doing better now! we had some thunderstorms yesterday. storms stress me out tbh, but i still think they’re cool. and it’s been so long since we had rain. it helped cool things down for the day, too. how are things for you? i think like, the entire northern hemisphere is having heat waves this month. things are normal here though… it’s just always very hot and dry.

awww so cute! my sibling’s kitten is like that, too… her default noise is growling, and she really likes to play by biting, so my arms have been full of teeth marks lately. she’s very cute still…

i’m glad you like them ^-^ sana, chae, nayeon… so true. sana is so sexy and fun. tbh, i’m most excited to see what personal projects chae eventually pursues bc she’s so cool. she fits every concept and she’s actually super talented! she’s kind of in the background in twice, but on sixteen (their survival show to debut), she was shown to be really solid in every area. all of the girls held her in really high esteem, so i think she’ll absolutely kill whatever she chooses to do 💕

and nayeon!!! omg her solo debut is in just a few hours!!!!!!! i’m soo excited. nayeon is right after jihyo for me. I’m reaally looking forward to her ep and the mv. idk if you’ve seen the teasers? there’s so much going on like a million different concepts tbh. they really went all out for it. it seems like it’ll be super fun and bright, which suits her perfectly.

yeahh all their dances are so fun tbh! like they’re not necessarily the most skilled group in any specific area, but they’re always so fun to watch perform, and their discography (especially the past couple years) is super solid. the feels is soo fun fr. have you seen any of the videos of them performing 1, 3, 2? they’re not super high quality bc they’re from concerts, but the concept is so stunning! there’s this part where the backup dancers use lights and it’s so pretty ✨ and also it’s soo nice to see jeonyeong performing again bc she was out for a while due to injuries and illness.

ohh right? there’s just something about lc’s music that’s so pleasant. and yes! sojung is my favorite vocalist of all time. her voice is just soo good, and i love how her tone is p unique within kpop. definitely let me know your favs sometime 💗

mmm yeah, i agree. it’s like the production overwhelms the actual performance. plus a lot of the songs aren’t very singable? whether it’s bc the choreo is just too intense for them to realistically sing live or the song itself is a mostly talk singing. + it seems a lot of ggs don’t really give their artists music that suit their vocal ranges… idk it’s all very strange lol. and right. especially with how young so many of the idols in the groups are. i’ll listen to their music, but i don’t really get that into the groups, bc it just feels kinda weird if they’re like fifteen

stayc is actually one of my favorite groups! i’ve loved everything they’ve released so far, and i love how unique their voices are from each other. their concept rn is “teen fresh,” so it’ll be cool to see how they grow from that as they continue 🌟

i’ve actually never tried dancing. just like.. in my room lol. it’s fun, though. ohh you sing? that’s so cool fr. i can play really basic piano, and i used to play cello 🎻 i want to take lessons again sometime, or maybe switch to viola, bc cellos are just so big =_= i love classical music, but musicians are so pretentious lol. playing in an orchestra or groups is so magical, but i’ve learned that i really prefer keeping things like this to myself ^^ i want to learn to play guitar or bass, too. once i’m finished with school, ig!

okayy keep me updated on how you’re doing and lmk any other music you like! ily 🤍🤍🤍

Origin of Easter: From pagan festivals and Christianity to bunnies and chocolate eggs

ABC Radio Canberra

By Penny Travers

Posted Fri at 4:30pm

On Easter Sunday, a bunny will deliver chocolate eggs to many households across Australia.

Have you ever wondered how this seemingly bizarre tradition came to be?

Well, it turns out Easter actually began as a pagan festival celebrating spring in the Northern Hemisphere, long before the advent of Christianity.

"Since pre-historic times, people have celebrated the equinoxes and the solstices as sacred times," University of Sydney Professor Carole Cusack said.

"The spring equinox is a day where the amount of dark and the amount of daylight is exactly identical, so you can tell that you're emerging from winter because the daylight and the dark have come back into balance.

"People mapped their whole life according to the patterns of nature."

Following the advent of Christianity, the Easter period became associated with the resurrection of Christ.

"In the first couple of centuries after Jesus's life, feast days in the new Christian church were attached to old pagan festivals," Professor Cusack said.

"Spring festivals with the theme of new life and relief from the cold of winter became connected explicitly to Jesus having conquered death by being resurrected after the crucifixion."

Easter's changing date

In 325AD the first major church council, the Council of Nicaea, determined that Easter should fall on the Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox.

That is why the date moves and why Easter festivities are often referred to as "moveable feasts".

"There's a defined period between March 25 and April 25 on which Easter Sunday must fall, and that's determined by the movement of the planets and the Sun," Professor Cusack said.

Pascha, Easter and the goddess of spring

In most countries in Europe, the name for Easter is derived from the Jewish festival of Passover.

"So in Greek the feast is called Pascha, in Italian Pasqua, in Danish it is Paaske, and in French it is Paques," Professor Cusack said.

But in English-speaking countries, and in Germany, Easter takes its name from a pagan goddess from Anglo-Saxon England who was described in a book by the eighth-century English monk Bede.

"Eostre was a goddess of spring or renewal and that's why her feast is attached to the vernal equinox," Professor Cusack said.

"In Germany the festival is called Ostern, and the goddess is called Ostara."

Rabbits and eggs as ancient symbols of new life

Many of the pagan customs associated with the celebration of spring eventually became absorbed within Christianity as symbols of the resurrection of Jesus.

"Eggs, as a symbol of new life, became a common people's explanation of the resurrection; after the chill of the winter months, nature was coming to life again," Professor Cusack said.

During the Middle Ages, people began decorating eggs and eating them as a treat following mass on Easter Sunday after fasting through Lent.

"This is actually something that still happens, especially in eastern European countries like Poland," Professor Cusack said.

"The custom of decorating hard-boiled eggs or blown eggs is still a very popular folk custom."

Rabbits and hares are also associated with fertility and were symbols linked to the goddess Eostre.

The first association of the rabbit with Easter, according to Professor Cusack, was a mention of the "Easter hare" in a book by German professor of medicine Georg Franck von Franckenau published in 1722.

"He recalls a folklore that hares would hide the coloured eggs that children hunted for, which suggests to us that as early as the 18th century, decorated eggs were hidden in gardens for egg hunts," Professor Cusack said.

Commercialisation, confectionery and greeting cards

Commercialisation during the 19th century saw rabbits become a popular symbol of Easter with the growth of the greeting card industry.

"Postage services became affordable and people wanted to keep in touch with people," Professor Cusack said.

"Card companies like Hallmark became big by launching images of cute little rabbits and Easter eggs on cards."

The first edible Easter bunnies made from sugared pastry were made in Germany in the 19th century.

Big confectionery companies, like Cadbury in England, started manufacturing chocolate eggs.

"Chocolate that used to be something that's bitter and drunk became something that was sweetened and turned into a confectionery treat," Professor Cusack said.

"Easter eggs were one of the areas of marketing for chocolate."

And that is all. My religion came first. And i love blue hair. Blessed be, merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again.

This is them training and it doesn't look too bad it's pretty intense though and her son says it when you're flying through the air it's a lot different than what it looks like. And it's like falling and you don't want to fall. And the training and the getting in shape since a good idea kind of a bunch of suck bags and the job is going to change because there's nothing else they can do. there's a bunch of fear around there and there should be but what they're doing is good because it's gonna pave the way for like Avengers and things like that. I'll have ways of escaping fights on the street and you don't cost too much harm and you use a few moves and you can escape and so nice way of saying that they're in trouble but that's true actually. Right now they're challenging people and just losing. a lot of times there's a tussle first and they know other stuff too fingerholds and things like that that hurt and it works sometimes. I judging throats stuff like that works but they're starting to get into it and they're figuring out that they have stuff they can use our son and daughters clans were very vicious and the max were not nice and daughter's mom didn't tell him who she was and let him on and for some reason kind of attacked him and we fi no it wasn't ken it was a Mac fully around hergured out why. It was because she was being monitored. Said it looked like Joe Biden but bigger but it didn't look like 100 percent they found out it was trump and he's screwing around with him and he got it hurt and he felt bad and he just kept doing things and that's his problem. And he's saying all sorts of stuff but when what he's really doing is dicking with people and he likes doing it so he likes screwing around with our son with the fireworks and he went inside and fell asleep and he's gonna start doing it again he said and the neighbors said we'll call the cops it's too late so he's saying is TV is loud and all sorts of **** but I'll tell you what the guy has to leave he spent and he's a jerk and we know it too we don't wanna put up with this crap and we need him out and I said every day because I mean it and I want people to try a lot harder this is turned into a priority he's been threatened very badly and I don't wanna see anything happen I need action on it right now.

Tonight there are a few things happening one is; the rings are going to be on fire the Morlock of bringing about 40 million up to special and some suits full ones the pseudo empire will match and exceed and will most likely wipe them out; there are other things happening one of them is our son is under extreme duress he's being threatened with fireworks which sound like weaponry and we need help in here now.; other items are happening the Pseudo Empire is under attack in the Western Hemisphere and all of their top side military bases believe it or not they want you large attacks; they're attacking the bunkers as well all of their bunker systems and the big ones in the northern part of each continent and also the two states in the West they're huge. Large complexes under attack with large forces and the bugs will move up probably will leave only 15% here by tomorrow afternoon; they are attacking each other in town and it's getting messy they're using fireworks as cover yes; these pseudo empire is planning to attack their bases because they're under attack and they need to stop them at the source. They're going to do that.; additionally there are about 500,000 people planning to leave here out of that half of them are original leaders and they're planning to leave in heaven for weeks we think they might leave the next few days and today might be and tonight their first evacuation and they want to see how it goes; other things are happening and shortly we will announce it they're very large the fleets in space are started to warm up and they're being attacked it's another 500 billion and they only have 10 more 500 billion runs and they say they're gonna get bigger and we will intercept them.; there are a couple more things guess we can get it out we're watching them terrifying and bother a son all the time and keep it poor they're ridiculous we are going to go in the offensive here shortly; we bought a lot of time but we're running out of it with the Midwest is going to empty shorten shortly his idea seem to be pretty good they found hardware to do it with and a lot of it; they found enough to haul out hundreds of millions of golf carts and tire whole bunch of idiots together in a string. It's going to work and they're getting them all together now and there's not much of an evacuation and so window they can take that kind of stuff and people but it's gonna start it they plan to move equipment that way and lawn mowers believe it or not they heard what we were talking about and decide to take 65 and above and they're pretty fast and they're pretty big and they know how to convert them.; once the evacuation begins it will start sucking them out of there.

And we have news and it's pretty big and important

-the health department declared emergency no it's still got too many assholes in it and boil water should be everywhere and they're not doing it they are inclusive increasing the chlorine it's not helping they have to really it does

-along with them increasing the coronation they are increasing the number of rude comments they make everywhere and it's caustic there's no direct correlation no there isn't but they're becoming very rude huge pricks for people who are trying to harm people and I want them arrested immediately this guy Dan AKA Dave he was arrested within an hour but he doesn't feel that it's for the incident I want him to know it is and it applies all over the place and we have spies who do say they need to they need it and we're going ahead and we're going to apply it right now

-along with that is the fact that these s*** heads have been bothering him for years and they feel like they're going to be okay and they're getting killed every day and now people are telling them and they still don't register that it's because of what they're doing here to the master program so at that point we're kind of surprised some members of their clan in fact off a little have backed off a little and some of backed off a lot but still like 80 to 90% are still assholes to him I need to be disposed of and they are dying now and that's what the news is. Because of their attitude and their attacks when our son these people are being killed now in a higher rate globally the attrition of all the morlock has increased to 0.9% an hour and it's from 0 0.03% yesterday morning at midnight last night it was 0.8%. yeah you lost a percentage mostly trumpsters but it's across the board everybody hates you for your dumb antics and if you want to fight you get into one and you disappear and we see you disappearing into vats of acid incinerators prisons ditches and other a lot of it globally it's not a day to be a retard and you're trying to go out and grab them and they kill you but that's what's going on the rate of attrition has increased and that means in just 10 hours 1% of you is gone and that brings us to the next portion of information and that's from attrition.war

-Johnny remillard has been screaming it and it is working he says in our senses yes it is and you're a fool and you're killing yourself thank you very much we didn't really plan it this way but we're taking territory in area because we're extremely aggressive and hostile people

-we have a new number of morlock remaining Mack morlock off Island Trump swear at 3.1%, now they're at 2.4% and that's a pretty big drop there is also a drop in pja and it's not as much but he went around 7.4% to 6.8% roughly almost 6.9% and that includes the war because the attrition was increasing from yesterday morning to this morning to almost 1/10 of a percent an hour. If you look at the other way it's only a drop of .1% out of .7% on the trumps and 0. 2% and out of 0.6%. it's really a small percentage by attrition but it's getting pretty big if it goes all day it's 1% and it's mostly these jackasses what came out of the minority morlock and miscellaneous more like practically nothing and they went up there at war too and the pseudo empire didn't lose much they were attacked. Catastrophic losses are coming their way shortly she's so and and get and get and get out there and get out there and and get out there and your and get out there and your fight and get out there and your fight and get out there and your fight the f** and get out there and your fight the and get out there and your fight the f*** bugs Max said figure out how to fight bugs you idiots so they got to learn

-and the catastrophic glasses are going to be possibly the bunkers and Northern New England and the upper Midwest and the Opera west midwest then north west. And that's of the East hemisphere and western hemispheres because of the bugs they're building up and the next large scale attack either side loses they will flow in. It is going to be a mess as it is the morlock plan to send around 0.5% total and the pseudo empire has that many there and they might double up on it so as a whole they might lose 2% but one percent each and mostly Trump is not true but it's usually about half globally and that would weaken them today they're going to be attacked by Max mildly and then they're getting information and this the stashes and caches in the eastern hemisphere are being destroyed and eating up it's not a huge message but it is getting there they know about how big it is and what the stuff is and they are trying to get information all the time it got hard to get and they're getting going and there's a huge number of things to report but this is Major because they need stuff real bad they can't get their ships going and they need stuff for it. They need to outfit their ships fuel and more and having trouble doing it all and they're mobilizing to try to take care of the problem and they need to get to the stashes and Cassius there's a lot of large weapons and drives and all sorts of things and Trump was going to use it now he's going to have a war on his hands and about 70% of chips up there are VGA and he wants to take over Trump's stuff. There's a large number of people who don't want them doing this at all and they're opposing them and they're fighting them at the stashes and Cassius and they're fighting the trumps and taking things instead of these people they noticed it today they're saying a lot more ones at the cities outskirts and beyond right now they are sitting about and that includes local people 0.5% globally again to a different site and Trump and his will probably must have that it's almost a percent on top and there's more it's a big day

-they are sending people and military people and trained people the newly trained to these celestial sites what was said about the one at the Mediterranean was mind-boggling and they noted it's been there for a long time so they're wondering about these Giants and they need information and they're wondering about our son that's a DNA is different they don't look human and they're going after it. There's a lot of them going there and there's a huge number but really overall globally they plan to send probably 0.2% of their warlock they may be enticed to 0.5% because of other interfering and that's both groups of morlock the mac and a warlock and trump. They're going to send a lot of people out today so far that's that's a lot of people I just those two groups Trump and bja it's like 2.7% of their own populace if it was just Trump he'd be almost gone off Island but that's just off Islands if you count for all of them he still has plenty of people and so does bja we can't count them out. What happens is the crabs and fish follow them in the tunnels and they all get eaten

-there's another anomaly it's because of Dan AKA Dave yesterday. They're looking for people doing that because of what he was saying he's trying to do is to send out signals against the minority morlock and they heard it saw it and figured it out and they decided to start cutting them down and they're doing it in there foreign countries the rate of attrition is increasing it's mostly Mac morlock and they don't discriminate it just against Max and it is about 0.1% now and going up it is a foot war and spy war and they need more information from these guys than the other way around and they're finding it and it's going to increase hostilities.

-there are a few other things that add up the money people are seeking it and they're going after it and the max are defending it there's a lot of talk about it the sun is saying you haven't defeated me I don't want to touch the money it's coded and took a break from it and it works but there's still some out there and I was working in general code it's one reason why they don't have him do anything mainly the very lazy and they weren't checking the code then and they are not checking it now and don't want to and don't intend to and we don't care so if you you people don't care and we don't care why why do it and all they don't want it going out and it means it's a lot anyways cuz that's their phase of the plan and they say they're going to stop the whole thing but not getting him anything and we said we're going to get you and everybody is and as predicted by the macs. The cash is the max the account is our son's and to separate the two and take a lot of force and these guys don't have it Mac Daddy has a plan and it's not stupid we use it too and and it's not bad these guys don't have a plan to use the money and we heard it when he sent letters and he's going to finish up sending the letters this week to the banks that he hasn't sent to so far the ones you sent it to are heated and sufficiently every day it gets hotter soon it will be mind-bogglingly hot and they'll be forced to move the money to the headquarters where it has to be for us to access it

-it's a couple other things these people are dumb they're fighting over stuff that they took and telling people it's theirs because they're the ones who took it and such and the other people who are competing over like bja and what he says is that's not mine but you took it so we can take it and they fight over that and Trump's never win we mentioned that there's actually we mentioned the losses at the stashes and Cassius it is going up a bit but I'm defining over it's contents from a kind of rhetorical point of view is causing them a lot of damage and they're going after the money in Banks and investments in a serious way because these are flippant assholes they say and they're wrong they want to control banking and they want to control the investments and so do we we don't care for their plan to dominate everything and control the money and just keep poor people in the ground in front of the place like stand in his movie I really it's because of these idiots he has kind of a army in society and the ones out there are not part of it by race and self-admission and acts of violence it's different but a great example it'll be like that and wonderful no we opposed to 100% and vehemently and we use massive amounts of force and they're going to break and fall soon fully. They hear it in the financial areas and they hear it elsewhere and they go to the finance areas additionally and they need to take over the banks because what they're saying is we're going to take over everywhere and crash the banking system and people don't want it and it also going to go to the stashes and caches as a result and we will Maxwell and foreigners and it's going to be a hell of a fight for these people

We're going to publish this is huge

There are other things in the news and not too many other things

-pseudo empire is being attacked by the morlock. And it is heavy fighting it is in the northern hemisphere of the West and in the northern portion of South America and also parts of Mexico they found them there and several bunkers that we mentioned earlier one of them is in the desert the Mojave and they're going there and they think that they were launching attacks from there onto the burning Man area.

-these attacks are very big it is by the warlock they are sitting in significant troops it should be monitored very closely and not underestimated that there capabilities are still horrendous we are watching them closely and they are trying to meet the whole time that they're marching and it is disgusting we are getting to a lot of fire fights with them to keep them away from civilization and the max are too and foreigners and they are getting slaughtered in some areas and when they refuse to comply they lose a few battalions and it is now the norm that's a lot of people and they don't seem to care

-it won't take much longer for these despicable people to leave we cannot stand in here they are very horrible to our son and we didn't think they would do this they're so bad that it's ridiculous and we don't want them around him we have every experience you can possibly have almost every night with these jackasses in the book we'll see the max make them do this and make them do that and they can't help it and under threat and such and we'll pay and so on they say so I'm going to hit them we're thinking of hitting a whole bunch of them to shut them the hell up and stop them from bothering us they're planning an invasion

-and you're full of s*** Josh Garth you're a loser the plans escaped get away from you you're so damned annoying and you're a liar he didn't kill him any max and they slaughter your people we need you to shut your face or are we going to come after you did you hear it good and you're not shutting up so we're going to start now

-is a whole bunch of people who are going to invade they say and they're starting to form up with Georgia and Alabama a little not much I'm still trying to get there love together in other words they're growing a real big one and we requested sort of that they take their huge cannons and keep them down and unloaded so far they are and good for them so this is going on right now and they happen to have way too many pieces of hardware out there and other people noticing it it's a child can't build up is it gigantic buildup and really they don't have a buildup out here like they usually do and fairly soon and moments the pseudo empire are going to request that they disperse or depart for the ocean and they divert and they'll be hit and they see the idea right now this is several candles rising and they're attempting to load we see two or three spaceships moving above them and yelling commands and sending it and signals and in English using the international codes they are not responding yet hello again and really five are still rising a very very big and the arc that they would produce somewhere in the Eastern Europe they are trying to load the rounds are 10 or 15 miles across and these cannons are enormous and the ships are 100 miles they say to lower the cannons or they will open fire they're not lowering the chance and we are seeing streams of fire coming from the ships they're not small ships I have 200 MI huge dreams and the ship on shore is on fire and exploding and it is a huge scene about 500 ships that are 20 miles are on fire and there will be more it's going right down the line and it's going to be over for them and BJ said you did not follow orders and he was issuing orders for them to do that. Right now they are heating up a billion ships and those billion ships with the part momentarily let's say and try to get to Earth and then we'll try to stop ships from firing on the ocean going vessels and that's only one location there are five of those where they are but they're also closely monitored

-other groupings are trying to raise their hands they're in order to lower their cannons they alone will be fired upon and they will be responsible for destroying the fleet and they are telling to lower the cannons again and to not arm them and they are sitting there saying no and it's weird they didn't know the others went up they can see a light. Two of them are lowering the cannons and trying to leave they have their engines on they're not fully warm but they are taking and the ships moving and it's going into the ocean and now 40 miles an hour and it's going up. Is reaching 100 and people are getting on life rafts and there's a lot of them they're moving fast I really have to like a thousand miles an hour to get anywhere and it's too fast to jump off and they're reaching about 300 and the ship and these are fifties I simply clear in about 15 minutes although they are increasing speed and the other ships are not lowering their cannons and these ships are about three breaths away that are not empty and the ships of Jason to them are 50 is just sitting there and they're hauling ass really they are going fast at 700 miles an hour it'll be clear in about 3 minutes and they're jamming it we think they might make it. And they are raising those cannons and still trying to load them to see the ships moving and I can't wait any longer the first surprise hits just the cannons and they explode and fall and the ship catches fire and it's spreading and it's going 100-200 -800 miles an hour. The '50s break away they are about a mile away now it's a few miles it might make it to breed doesn't hit them and fire has spread only about 30 miles in their direction and it's taking his time so you going 100 miles an hour I thought about 800 mph and other ships are leaving yeah they usually happens that way those ships are moving out all up and down the place to keep from blowing up some of them started a few minutes ago they're moving out pretty fast and firing it up and believe it or not they are hauling ass the '50s next to him started up about 5 minutes ago and started rolling almost right away they're doing as fast as they can that big one's going to tear apart any minute now. There's a huge pet going on in Vegas and they're betting on those ships and they do it all the time. And people are upset this time they don't think they should be doing that and they say it's not illegal but it is it's against the law it's war profiteerring. And also making money off the movie. A lot of ships are clear and the fire is about 200 miles up the ship. It's a big one 500 miles and it's doomed and people trying to get off it screaming and yelling and it's horrible just way too many people and it's way too big they're going down slides and they're getting burnt there's tons and tons of people doing it and VGA is losing them because he's and just starting an idiot. The flotilla has Departed let's take them 8 hours to all get here and it probably will wait till tonight forces are going to start building up this is probably one of the last attacks the voice is probably almost and the people overseas I'm going to cut down and we said the overseas is like 3.5%, they have a couple of things to report but he is tired so we will report those tomorrow
