Jack and Effra.

Sufficiently gaudy Lady of Rats. Effra takes her name from the main body of water that runs through Tistow, a great river. She's a great deity that's adopted the river as her home and sailors and dockworkers alike, as her subjects.

The lore we came up for Effra reflects a folklore figure of 19th century London known as Queen of Rats. She's a mischievous woman with ratlike features, blessing the children of the river with her gifts and cursing any man that unwittingly discovers her true identity.

Effra is a motherly figure, and one of the gods whose company Jack tolerates. Their shared fondness for the myriad small, scalytailed beasts that roam the city's streets helps of course. She can be pushy with her affections, often referring to him as her 'kitten' (baby rat) but is respectful of his discomfort with physical contact.

Tagged by @oldefashioned who is a constant ray of sunshine! Thanks so much for being lovely, I've given this one some attention.

Favorite color? Blue - any kind but especially that grey/dusk/purple blue. If that makes any sense.

Last song?

Y Cwilt by Mari Mathias

https://open.spotify.com/track/2Td8f7Gc3XfGo15wsxZFb9?si=q16BYt94RYOBjICGtvWGRQ

For anyone interested in Modern Welsh Folk (I know it's unlikely but I can't resist) here's a run down.

Y Cwilt (The Quilt) is about the comfort of telling stories, especially folk stories. In Wales the Welsh language was actually made illegal for a long, long time. The language and therefore the history and culture only survived through music and stories. I'm pretty sure the quilt is also a metaphor for patching together this history and the old stories to hold us together.

This is from Mari Mathias' album Annwn - Annwn is the Welsh Otherworld, where the giants, the fairies, fae, wild hunt and other strange creatures come from.

If anyone wants atmospheric Welsh witchcraft music (very niche I know) I can also recommend Pan O'wn y Gwanwyn (when I was in springtime) it's seriously haunting and spooky.

And Annwn, also by Mari Mathias where in the music video she gets turned into an owl.

Also Byta dy Bres (eat your money) by Gwilym Bowen-Rhys where just before the end it sounds like an actual curse on capitalism. It probably is...

They're all on Spotify.

Currently reading?

I got about 4 chapters in to Women who Run with the Wolves - Clarissa Pinkola Estès (which was very interesting but hard work) before I got distracted by fanfiction so here's the latest:

This is a follow up to the amazing Mongrel Minds https://archiveofourown.org/works/45540652

Summary:

Special Agent Derek Hale keeps himself locked down tight. He doesn't share his past and he doesn't share his feelings.

So what if he's been in love with his partner for years? They make a good team and he's got it under control.

However, when a case takes a turn and he finds himself back in California, he'll have to confront his past and his feelings whether he likes it or not.

Thoughts:

This has everything... FBI partners, magic!stiles, fake relationship/real feelings, strange new world, BAMF!Stiles and the whole world is so much fun (except Talia but somebody has to be the bad guy I suppose) and Stiles is hilarious.

Blood on the Blade is a continuation of the pure joy/fun vibe (with a tiny dose of angst). It's So Good I wrote an entire run down to my friend complete with my top 5 greatest Stiles moments. It's SO well written and so well described, please consider giving it a chance (provided it passes the tag check!)

Currently watching?

I'm about two seasons in to Superman and Lois but I struggle watching TV these days. It's hard finding the time.

That said, I did binge Fallout... Which I loved!

I'm also watching Clarksons farm because while I don't particularly like Clarkson, I am a country farm girl at heart and I miss the farm year.

And there's a few series that have recently come out I'm curious to watch.

Currently craving?

Coffee flavoured ice cream - and maybe a doughnut.

Coffee or tea?

Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon

I don't know 9 people!!! But I'd really like to know any mutuals better! So if you see this and you want to give it a go, please do and let me know!

"I’ve got to admit, to my way of thinking, an elegant syringe was an essential gentleman’s accoutrement, something I imagined Sherlock Holmes would secrete along with his glove stretchers, ivory paper-knife, and tortoiseshell comb in his crocodile-skin dressing case. I had therefore acquired an actual glass and steel Everett hypodermic syringe from the surgical suppliers in Welbeck Street, which I would boil up and assiduously sterilise prior to each injection. It was part of the fun."

"But eventually my Everett went missing – I think somebody pinched it – so when I was in Amsterdam at the One World Poetry Festival in autumn ’79, I bought a Rand Rocket from an apotheek. This was an upgrade. Streamlined and stylish, the sports car of the syringe world."

"Girls who worked in offices would even keep a syringe in their handbag. The must-have accessory was the Blue Lady, a hypodermic made almost entirely out of blue glass; a really fabulous piece of precision kit."

"When I think of Nico, I picture her in the cloak, motorbike boots, and black jeans ensemble she wore most of the time. I don’t remember her wearing a dress, ever. There’s a widely distributed photograph of her and me sitting on the doorstep on Effra Road. It’s in monochrome: we were monochrome people. We both look pretty good. Nico’s wearing black leather jeans, a fine black turtleneck sweater, and black Turkish boudoir slippers, me beside her in a charcoal-grey Continental suit and sporting a Gatsby, freshly acquired from the Big Apple."
