Cherry blossom stains on your teeth, I brought them in my bag. From the market across the street, I always failed to pay the pennies back.

Just as I envy the ocean for caressing your body, the wind for gently brushing your hair, I decide I despise the sun, for it is always there.

The seasons change and so do your features, summer comes and your face is spotted with tiny little freckles. From your nose to your cheeks, they expand onto your neck, and I envy the sun for making your body blush.

Flames in my hands as my fingertips wish to trace your every dot and speck, I come to your eyes, lost in the calmness and guidance, I embark like a ship from its deck.

Green and white paint stain your soft hands, your damp hair fused with your neck, I think of the sand and how she's only beautiful once the ocean has taken her in her arms, damping and softening, molding it into epherious art.

The colour of your eyes.

Your soul iridescent, I feel its not real, I reach out to hold it, yet the colours evade my touch.

I try to look at you, and study your mind, but your body is blinded by the rays, and I look away and sigh,

From the moment you took me and my eyes, I've been yours, now my heart cries.

Character Profile: Hayden

Full Name: Hayden Sigeberht Ayers Kingdom: Grissirynn Generation: 1

*Art by the awesome @harchibudytgorichi

Hayden is the younger sister of Gareth Sweeney and the secondary heir to the Sweeney clan. As the secondary heir, she was raised knowing that she would likely be married off for the benefit of the clan. As she and her brother grew, they remained close but found themselves following different paths when he began to take his role as future leader more seriously, much to her disappointment. She is known for her blunt, sometimes rude, comments, never holding back her opinions. She is, however, very reserved in her emotions, like all Sweeney, to keep her magic under control. Her marriage to Morwen Ayers creates a strong political alliance uniting the newly formed Grissirynn and Epherial kingdoms. This also made the two strongest magic users in Tebos cousin clans. Hayden’s main goal is to help the Grissirynn people tame their wild lands.

hi hi hi yes blaseball and mcyt enjoyer here hi yes that’s me. there’s actually more of us than you’d think!! i was heavy hyperfixated on blaseball for a very long time and got into third life right before the blaseball hyperfix and then got back into the life series really hard right after so a bit ago i decided to combine the two of them for fun and profit. all the stuff i’ve posted about the au so far should be in the “mcyt blaseball au” tag on my blog. most of it is empires content rn but there is a life series and hermitcraft leg of it too (i haven’t talked much about the life series one cause i’m still not solid on a lot of the teams for the players in that one). i’m collecting all of the mcyt/blaseball fans like stamps rn. -fogwitchoftheevermore

what is the life series if not short circuits with replicas send post (sentence that made sense to no one)

i only got into it at the tail end of expansion (tragic) and i still miss her every day (woe are us who cannot rewatch this epherial media of fantasy bloodsport)

i think i at one point actually also tried to make a blaseball mcyt au and failed so i will be casually eating your entire blog for content thank you

Ooo, what’s your stuffies names?

The cat is called Max and the shark is called Ephery.

I'll never understand wanting to uphold "George Lucas's Star Wars" or why creatives even need to. It's a odd orginalism which quite frankly I think needs to die.

I prefe the EU to Lucas's Star Wars and even then Lucas's Star Wars is such a epherial thing.

Lucas at the end of the day isn't the end all be all of Star Wars and Star Wars was beyond him way before he even made the preuqels.

Star Wars isn't 4 films 6 films or even 9 films, it's a universe and creatives should be able to do whatever they want in it honestly and if that means no adhering to Lucas's morals or philisophy or portryals of things so be it. It's healthy for the franchise.

I got a good feeling about "The Acolyte"

Not even kidding. Like, I've spoken before about why I'm wary of it.

George Lucas' Star Wars is something that intentionally has black and white morality, rather than shades of gray. Those movies are meant for kids and projecting a "gray" morality onto them then proclaiming it was George's vision all along is doing so in bad faith.

The narrative of the Prequels doesn't frame the Prequel Jedi in as negative a light as Leslye Headland, Dave Filoni, etc etc do.

See here for more details, but bottom line: yeah, a show that has a darksider as the underdog is bound to demonize the Jedi (who are the actual underdogs in the Prequels), and obviously that rubs me the wrong way.

BUT.

The trailer looks fucking cool. It really really does.

And more importantly? I've done some research... and Leslye Headland is ticking a lot of good boxes, in my book.

1. The Acolyte won't be a 10-hour movie.

I've criticized Disney Plus shows before, explaining that a big source for most of their issues is that these series are being structured as "long movies" rather than, y'know, actual shows.

But in this interview with Collider, Headland addresses that: it'll be a series. Not a long movie that you need to watch across four weeks.

Thank God. You have no idea how much that comforts me. Finally a showrunner who's, y'know, actually running a show.

And this goes hand in hand with what she told IGN, here, about how she's going about building suspense.

Yes! Exactly! That's how it's supposed to be!

Like, compare this to Baylan Skoll's storyline in Ahsoka.

In no possible way was that emotionally-fulfilling. For 8 episodes we had no idea what he was after, and the season ended where we still don't know. What does he want? What is he after? Your guess is as good as mine, it's something Mortis-related.

So yeah. Maybe getting the Emmy-nominated trained screenwriter on board to run this was a good idea.

2. Maybe the Jedi will not be as demonized as I originally thought.

Don't get me wrong. 80% of what she says about the Jedi makes me cringe. It's the typical fan's interpretation and y'all know I disagree with that interpretation.

It's painful to see her refer to the Jedi as an institution (not how the Prequels' narrative frames them) and to see her frame "Balance" in the "oh there's so many of them and just two Sith, that means the Force is out of balance" meaning... but at least she acknowledges the Jedi are a benevolent institution.

They're not an "elitist force hiding in their ivory tower" as others have described the Jedi.

Moreover, there'll be a variety of Jedi POVs, many personalities.

Yord Fandar, is described as a strictly by-the-book Jedi Knight and guardian from the Jedi Temple, is an overachiever and a rule follower.

The question now becomes: will the narrative frame him as "your typical Jedi" or is it just this one guy? I'm hoping it's the latter.

I also like how her reasoning goes re: Jedi drawing their lightsabers.

Which explains the hand-to-hand combat seen in the trailer.

This teenager is coming at Carrie-Ann Moss with a dagger, of course the Jedi won't draw her saber.

3. She's a fan of Star Wars... but a screenwriter first.

You can tell in the interviews she's a fan. She's using words like "BBY" and "EU" casually. In the above-linked interviews she's bringing up the Nightsisters, Timothy Zahn, The Clone Wars, she mentions she has a tattoo of Ralph McQuarrie's concept art of Leia, the High Republic books, etc.

She's done her homework. She's a fan.

But the vibe I'm getting from these interviews is that she's weaving in these various lore-elements in a more organic way, rather than in the "fan-servicey" way Dave Filoni has been doing in his shows.

The references and Easter Eggs will be there, but the narrative won't bend over itself just so you can get it. Crafting a good story comes first, and Andor is a beautiful illustration of why this is true.

Which is why I was never bothered about one of the writers never having watched Star Wars before getting the job. You need those fresh eyes when you're tackling something of this scale.

That makes sense to me. Maybe it's because of my own screenwriting experience, but yeah. That out-of-the box perspective is precious.

And like, obviously, that writer watched the films eventually, but for some reason everyone who bitched about Headland omitted that detail and opted for a more bad faith interpretation.

Hm. Wonder why.

Maybe it's the same reason that months ago this clipped audio circulated socials without context, in which she debates whether Star Wars only came from George Lucas and only Lucas is the key.

The FULL context of that interview reveals that she's actually:

debating the "autheur director" myth and positing that it was achieved by a collective of excellent filmmakers and craftspeople that George was skilled and smart enough to recruit...

the studios now think it's a simple as hiring one guy and throwing money at him, because they have no idea what the fuck they're talking about. See Napoleon (2023) for example.

Yes, she also does a jab to the Prequels, which speaks to the generation of fans she's a part of... but overall she's giving Lucas props whilst also stating an ideological difference, that's it!

George is a proponent of the "autheur" theory, Leslye isn't.

However, guess what, in like half the talks George gave post-selling Star Wars? He's giving shoutouts to everyone who helped make the first film, even remembering their names.

So I'm not even sure he'd vehemently disagree with Leslye, in fact they'd prolly have a conversation about it and immediately bitch about how stupid studio executives are :D

But that's not as incendiary, is it? Again, the more I do the research, the more it feels like the reason most of these influencers are hating on her is purely sexist.

I mean, on IGN she's even acknowledging that she does plan on taking stock of fan reactions for Season 2.

It's not a guarantee that she'll incorporate the feedback, but at least that's more consideration than, say, JJ Abrams or Rian Johnson gave the fandom.

She's even bringing the moral ambiguity that the Gray Jedi-loving edge-lords love so much.

"No, she's a woke feminist! Anything she does is evil! Eww, girls!"

🙄

Needless to say... I'm gonna give it a shot.

I think it's gonna be a good show, I think it's gonna be a solid story.

I'm crossing my fingers that they won't as biased against the Jedi as it seems they'll be. Even if they are... if it's still an enjoyable experience, I'll gloss over it.

As @gffa states in this post:

Worst case? It's not a story from George. I can dismiss it from my headcanon without a moment's hesitation :D

FicTober: Day 3

Prompt #3:"Okay, show me." Original Fiction: Broken Mirrors Series Rating:  T Warnings: Mentions of death, war, manipulation

Characters: Isabella Hummel, Lovino Bellincioni, Alexander Morelli Ships: N/A

Alexander couldn’t believe his ears, this couldn’t be happening, how was she even able to do this?

“Okay Isabella, show me.”

His eyes widened as he turned to Lovino, did his best friend not hear the same thing he did?

“Lovi, you can’t be serious. She-”

Alexander flinched as Lovino glared at him, “If she has a way to bring back the dead, why shouldn’t I investigate it?”

He couldn’t believe his best friend, he had to know this was not a good idea, “Because it’s unstable, old, dark magic that even scared the Sweeney and Ayers Clan.”

Lovino’s glare hardened, “And?”

“And?! And they are the most powerful magic clans in Tebos! If they’ve sworn off raising the dead then it either can’t be done or the cost is too high.”

Isabella shrugged, walking away from them, “Or they don’t value life as much as us. We’d give anything to have our loved ones back, right Lovino? Nothing is too steep a price.”

To Alexander’s horror, Lovino nodded as he began to follow her retreating form, “They started this war, so why shouldn’t they pay the price to return those they slayed?”

Alexander couldn’t understand where he drew that conclusion, “What are you saying? You know it was your aunt and mother that started this war.”

“No, it was King Wyn. If the Sweeney clan wasn’t so high and mighty, the Epherial Kingdom wouldn’t have stepped out of line against us!”

Alexander glared at Isaeblla’s back, she was the one putting these ideas into his friend’s head. He wouldn’t be saying any of this if she hadn’t wormed her way into their ranks. She may have been born in Epherial, but she was born with the bloodthirsty spirit of the Avis Kingdom she called home.

“Look, Lovi, let's just talk to Alice. Hell, we can take your dragon over to the Grissirynn Island and talk to the Ayers trio! There’s no way you should just jump into this without asking them. I’m sure Isabella’s done her research, but their families made those spells.”

“Alex, I’ve made my decision. You’re either with me or against me.”

Alexander sighed, he couldn’t let him do this on his own, “Fine, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

[attorneys-against-court-violence]

My point was that even if she DID feel love - that vague, epherial thing - Widget would not turn pink.

And since the emotions line up with the Mood Matrix program (which is based on emotional frequencies in people's voices) I figured that meant there wasn't a similarly succinct definition in Widget's programming for love. Her having to infer it from the other emotions she can more readily hear tells me that it probably can't or hasn't been done in either program.

Innocuous poll time, I want to know how prevalent this idea is...

Tell me why [and what the face looks like to you if "Yes"] in tags, if you want.

Off you go, then!

What are Broken Mirrors and Binding Magic?

Broken Mirrors by Luci Sosa

Broken Mirrors follows Alice and her companions as they struggle to survive the fall of the Great Kingdoms and piece together a future for themselves in its aftermath. Coming out of the war with losses, Alice is determined to escape with as many people as she can. As the sole heir to the Epherial Kingdom and final Sweeney, Alice is determined to keep her people together and guide them to a new home. She hopes to abandon the roles they were cast into in their homeworld of Tebos as they adjust to this new world of Earth.

Binding Magic by Maria Romano

Binding Magic follows Alexandra Casey and her friends, as they struggle with the coming of a new war. She's lost her father, brother, cousin, and beloved uncles, leaving her barely keeping her head above water. Her only peace is accidental time travel to the family she wishes she could stay with. When she is suddenly struck ill, causing her brother to briefly return home, she finds herself surrounded by strangely familiar people. Now she must unmask the secrets around her if she wants to end the budding war around her.
