Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤

Hello! Thank you for sending it my way!

In Hushed Whispers. Marisa x Asriel. It's a 9-part fic that I recently revisited and apart from some revamping, the core message was still pretty decent. It was also a great start for the Dorotheaverse.

What Yet Lingers. A +170k words fic that addresses Lyra's world from the POV of an Oakley Street spy. I'm proud of this one fic and I genuinely feel so happy when people reach out to me to say they liked it as well.

And Fading History. Two times Monsieur Delamare tried to reason with his children and the one time he couldn't. I like making people very sad lol

I Like it When You're Gone. AU pre-The Secret Commonwealth, where Lyra finds out her mother left her some money, under the condition she spends time with her aloof uncle. If you like it sad, this will make you sad.

The Delamare Dinners. A throwback to Marisa's life and her relationship with her family. SAD.

“Have you heard anything from Lord Delamare?” The soft voice trickled into his office, glassing hovering over the bridge of his nose as eyes greeted his mother, and watched as she made herself right at home. His hand was occupied studying the currents of the sea, information for his captains before he could send them out for trades. “It’s nice to see you as well.” Gabriel chuckled, placing down his fountain pen knowing this conversation would distract him. It always started as a question with his mother; She’d give him news, whether bad or good, without notice. “I need you to come with me. We have an appointment with him at the Ambience Tea Palace.” This was an order and no room to reject the offer as Gabriel stood from his chair and asked no further questions. Ambience Palace was well known between houses, everyone would have brunch at this palace due to the various themes it displayed every week. If Gabriel was correct this week was fairy-themed and even gathered a couple of magical ones to show off their fairy magic, but this was all information from Sebastian as he often visited the palace and not for tea. Upon arrival, Gabriel took notice of how empty it was at this hour usually packed with a rush hour and plentiful of guests who fill the court with laughter. “Thank you.” He bowed politely towards the staff who directed them to the center seating area and his curiosity was sparked when he sat down face to face with Lord Delamare himself. “Lord Delamare. What a surprise, I believe my mother was just asking about you.” Gabriel seemed to be missing a crucial piece in this situation, glancing over to his mother and then back to Lord Delamare. “Ah yes, Gabriel, I was starting to think you forgot about our meeting.” He did forget. “I apologize, I thought our meeting was next week around noon. I must’ve misheard you, Lord Delamare.” A wave of hand and stocky laughter reassured him that his actions weren’t punishable. Instead, the next words Lord Delamare spoke had Gabriel's mouth wide open as tea poured back into his cup. “Pardon me, I think I’m having hearing issues lately. Would you mind repeating yourself?” Still in shock, the words sunk in. “You will be getting engaged to my daughter.” Gabriel shot a look towards his mother who was sipping tea with more elegance than the calm ocean tides. “Elodie, dear, won’t you come out and meet your fiancé.” He lowered his glass, again with the standing as he stood in absolute amazement at the woman who made her presence. “I’m far too busy to be engaged,” Gabriel spoke directly to the familiar feature, lowering his head gently as he failed to keep a straight face. “Nonetheless, I’m honored to meet you officially. My name is Gabriel Yang, first son and next in line for the throne, and I’m sorry for missing our planned meeting weeks ago.”

"The Collectors"

While we're impatiently waiting for Book 3 of The Book of Dust, Philip Pullman is releasing minibooks in the HDM universe. I just got the latest one, "The Collectors." So of course I was curious to see if there's any literary alchemy in it.

The book is set in Oxford but seemingly not in either Lyra's world or ours (Will's). It features two unfamiliar characters, Oxford don Horley and his friend Grinstead. The HDM universe gets tied in when Grinstead tells about his encounter with Mrs. Coulter, who seems to have travelled to his world as a young woman. (More on this below.) Actually present in "The Collectors" is not Marisa herself but a painting of her.

This is a real 1932 painting by the artist Balthus, "Portrait de la jeune fille en costume d'amazone". Balthus was influenced by Chirico and other surrealists, and as @ssmhhh has pointed out, surrealism drew heavily on alchemical symbolism. You can see the basic colors of alchemy in the painting: black, white, red, and gold. But there's an even more intriguing connection between Balthus and alchemy: his son, Stanislaus Klossowski de Rola, is the author of two important collections of alchemical images and a frequent contributor to Adam McLean's alchemywebsite.com.

So my question is did Pullman have this painting in mind when he created Mrs. Coulter in the first book? Blond hair is often a marker for the White character, so Nicole Kidman was a better choice, lookswise, than Ruth Wilson. Or did Pullman just come across the painting recently and say hey--that looks like my idea of a young Marisa?

The book is profusely illustrated with line drawings by Tom Duxbury. Here you see Horley and Grinstead looking at the painting--and the statue of a monkey that strangely always ends up coming into the possession of whoever owns the painting. (This is an obvious reference to Mrs. Coulter's nameless golden monkey daemon.)

Grinstead immediately recognizes the woman in the painting as his long ago lover, whom he knew as Marisa van Zee. "Van Zee" is basically the Dutch translation of her French maiden name, "Delamare," so even as Marisa traveled to this other world, she kept her marking as water. Her role in HDM is Argentvive/mercury, white, water and earth, and her destiny is to join with Asriel (sulphur, red, fire and air) in a Chemical Wedding that produces the Philosophical Child, Lyra.

Grinstead's other revelation is that Marisa was able to manipulate time, or at least that time in her world progressed at a different pace than in his and Horsley's. "Time passes differently in different worlds," Grimstead explains (p. 42). This may be a stretch but consider: What alchemists do is speed up time. They believed metals were living things, growing inexorably to perfection, to becoming gold. The alchemist creates the Philosopher's Stone to vastly accelerate that process, to turn base metals into gold.

The fact that time passes differently in different worlds may have important ramifications in the final book.

So yes, Pullman is still writing literary alchemy.

ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW SKIN & FEATURES DEBUT!

We are so excited to announce today the debut of our brand new skin! The skin code base was provided for free via the raddest of the rad, Joss, who deserves all the credit and then some. Edits and customization, as well as all of our templates, were coded by Sara exclusively for Catalysis.

NEW CRYPTIDS

More predators have been added to the food chain. No one can prove it’s not just coyotes upending garbage cans and making off with small pets, but more and more posters are insisting to have seen something large and pale-skinned skittering through the moonlight between shadows. In addition, new cryptids have been sighted, not fitting the description of the Delamar Devil ( as some locals have taken to calling it ) but worrisome all the same. More evils long imprisoned, climbing up out of the depths of Tartarus.

NEW TEMPLATES, STORE & AWARDS

Our old posting templates all got a new look, and there are two new request template options as well, so feel free to hop over and check those out in member services! We have also implemented a new awards feature! These are self-applicable and operate on the honor system. You can check them out in our store to see what’s available. These include special badges for participation in site events ( both past and future! ) and badges for employment at various local establishments around Perdition.

SUBPLOT UPDATE

Check the guidebook for our three new cryptids and the Xenos subplot update ( found below ) for information on the increase in sightings of old cryptids. Something is pushing these habitually reclusive creatures into close contact with Perditioners. Maybe it’s the strange weather; maybe it’s something in the mines; maybe it’s what’s coming up out of them. Finally, if your character signed up for the blood drive, you should have been contacted by staff regarding a special plot update. If we missed you somehow, reach out to us for information! Anyone is welcome to sign up retroactively as well; we don’t close signups, so new characters or new members don’t have to miss out. The full effects of this event are not yet known, but the ripples are spreading ever outward, so be on the lookout! The missing persons list is ever growing, and the only thing more worrisome is the manner in which they’re starting to turn back up again …

A Delamare headcanon:

Marcel and Marisa resemble each other very much, but even as children they had never been identical. They are both sharp featured, with well-defined jaws, eyebrows, cheekbones. After her disappearance, when he looks in a mirror, he sees no ghosts but just a lingering, faint feeling of déjà vu.

Marcel inherited his father's colours - dark eyes, dark hair - whereas Marisa has all of Maman's traits and mannerisms and her lighter colours too. When Delamare senior left them, Maman was left with a child that grew to be his spitting image, and her resentment grew. That, paired with his disinterest in relationships and his other "oddities", she can barely stand to stare him in his eyes. His intense, glittering gaze makes her shiver.

It reminds her of mistakes, sorrow and pain.

A little too much like herself.

Goat milk is rich in protein, fats, calcium, and vitamins compared to cattle milk, and it also improves the platelet count in the blood at the time of dengue. Also, it is a good source of colostrum and is regarded as a natural cure for jaundice as it has various anti-inflammatory properties. Moreover, the government bodies initiate various strategies and policies to encourage the use of goat milk to fulfill the surging demand of consumers. The Indian Animal Husbandry Department, in 2020, declared to offer 90% financial aid with a motive to encourage goat and sheep rearing in the country. Furthermore, the UK government promotes the EU-funded school milk subsidy scheme to persuade children to consume milk and milk products, and this subsidy is applied to milk products from goats, sheep, and cows. The surging individuals following the vegan diet pattern are indirectly fuelling the goat milk market share.

As mobile tumblr no longer likes to let people click page links ( 😒 ) we've decided to drop today's preview in a post for all our mobile users' viewing pleasures!

PERDITION, NV POPULATION 1,974

Sitting stubbornly in the southern tip of Nevada, Perdition is 111 miles north of Las Vegas in rocky, sparsely habited Lincoln County. It sits in a scorched valley between the South Pahroc Range and the Delamar Range. Big Rock Wilderness stands directly north, across highway 93, so from any point in town you can see the teeth of jagged desert mountain ranges jutting up from the horizon. Its population is a small and ever-shrinking 1,974. Despite the harsh surroundings, a variety of flora and fauna surround the small town, digging out life from the feet of the mountains. Mesquite, creosote, greasewood, yucca, and more than 30 varieties of cacti dot the landscape. Sheep, foxes, coyotes, bats, wild horses, owls, tortoises and reptiles are among the hundreds of species co-existing in the rugged landscape. Check your shoes before heading out the door: three different types of scorpions live in the deserts of Nevada. Emergency rooms are also frequented by those bitten by local snakes: sidewinders, the Great Basin rattler, the western diamondback, and kingsnakes are all venomous and common.

WEATHER & CLIMATE SOUTHWESTERN USA

Perdition enjoys highs from 100 degrees in the summer to as low as 50 degrees in the winter. On average, they get 159 days of sunshine year-round. It is a semi-arid climate with very little precipitation.

NEIGHBORHOODS & RESIDENCES

King’s Canyon Estates - Home to the ever-shrinking upper echelon of Perdition, patrolled by a security guard and watched by hawkish blue bloods out of gleaming windows. The lawns are unsettlingly green and the manses are polished and opulent. Rebel Creek - Perdition residents call this run-down, burnt-out neighborhood ‘the wrong side of the creek’. Populated by shotgun houses and a few poorly maintained trailers, Rebel Creek is where the down-and-out lurk. As more of the city falls on hard economic times, more residents find themselves washed up here. It’s not advised to walk through at night. Steptoe Terrace Apartments - Close to downtown, reasonably priced, utilitarian. Nothing fancy, not run down; lived-in. It’s a step up from Rebel Creek, at least. Sunridge Court - Middle class Perdition residents live here in their modest but well-built houses and small but pleasantly tended yards. It’s close to the schools, the small city library, and most of downtown proper. Alta Vista - ATLAS employees have brought an unusual white-collar wealth to Perdition, driving up property values and forcing some people out of their homes altogether. This new development sprung up shortly after the ATLAS compound’s arrival, built on land wrenched from the impoverished hands of ranchers and homeowners on the outskirts of Perdition. Eminent Domain and skyrocketing property taxes have left a small but not insignificant portion of residents relocating to Steptoe and Rebel Creek, unable to afford to rebuild and unwilling to move away from the town their families have called home for so many generations.

PERDITION PROPER & LOCAL BUSINESSES

City Hall - The administration building of local municipal government, like everything in Perdition, has seen better days. Not many folk in town are particulalry pleased with their mayor, but no one ever seems to run against him. Sheriff’s Department & Perdition Jailhouse - Sheriff’s office, a small dispatch office, and a few jail cells for penning any rowdy drunks from the Widowmaker. Red Rock Elementary School - Pre-k - grade 6 Perdition High School - Grades 7 - 12, home of the Fighting Mules! Pike’s Food & Drug - The only grocer & pharmacy in town, owned by the Pike family, six-generation Perdition locals. It’s a snapshot in time, especially the functioning-and-fully-stocked cigarette vending machine and the soda fountain that’s still in service. Golden Oasis Casino - With the promise of a major highway to connect Perdition to the rest of the world, eager investors saw dollar signs and poured piles of money into a brand new casino in 1952. When the highway development fell through and the money dried up, it decayed into what it is today: a place for locals to pull the creaky levers on old penny slots and ignore the indoor smoking ban. Silver Strike Diner - While its silvery accents and vinyl booths are dinged and sunbleached, the food is just as good as when the Silver Strike opened in 1950. Cheap, greasy, open 24/7. The jukebox hasn’t worked since 2002. The Widowmaker - This saloon, built in 1902 and originally named The Silver Dollar Saloon, stands right on the edge of Rebel Creek and decent society. It’s an utter dive: dark, dingy, cheap, and rowdy. Look out for bar fights and pickpockets. Sandman Motel - Its peeling-paint neon sign can be seen from the highway, a symbol of bygone days (and missing the ‘T’ on one side). You have to be pretty desperate to stay here; all-sorts roll in off the highway to rent out these rooms. Last Chance Gas - Local gas station open 24/7 selling cold beer, cigarettes, essentials, and lotto tickets. It’s the ‘last chance for gas’ for the next 100 miles down America’s Loneliest Highway.

OUTER PERDITION & SURROUNDING WILDERNESS

Professor Chromium’s Monster Museum & Creature Feature! - Just off Highway 50! Come, be amazed! Mysterious creatures great and small from the world over; creatures as you’ve never seen! In the time-honored tradition of now-defunct circus freak shows, Professor Chromium’s Monster Museum is a sprawling old warehouse made into a maze of clever taxidermy, creative Frankensteining of stuffed creatures, jars of mysterious claws and limbs. Locals serve as tour guides for tourists and cashiers at the wildly overpriced gift shop stuffed with kitschy souvenirs. Some even say a few of the creatures are genuine horrors, but who would believe them? Perot Mine - There’s a saying around town, and it’s ‘all the money in Perdition comes from Perot’. The mine opened for operation in 1902 when prospectors were hunting for new veins as the mine in Delamar had been providing dwindling returns for a few years before the fire ravaged the town in 1900. William Perot founded the mine and the town of Perdition sprung up nearby. All of high society in Perdition is related to, or married to, a Perot. It employs a huge portion of the Perdition population, but its returns are now dwindling, too. Quarter after quarter, less and less gold and silver ore has been hauled out of Perot. There are whispers of lay-offs on the horizon and even the upper crust of Perdition is starting to get nervous. Perdition Uranium Mine & Mill - from 1951 to 1968, a uranium mining boom swept across America. Spurred by the Atomic Energy Commission and the Cold War, Nevada was a focal point for substantial uranium prospecting and mining. Just outside Perdition, a uranium mine and mill cropped up, employing hundreds of locals and bringing an additional economic boom to the small town in addition to the long-standing gold mine. It was shuttered in 1972, boarded up, and now stands as an ugly relic littered with radioactive warning signs all along the perimeter. Curious teenagers have gone missing inside, and sometimes strange noises can be heard across the flat desert from within its neglected depths. The ATLAS Compound - In 2015, after a flurry of federally funded construction activity behind high chain link fence, a collection of bureaucratic government buildings cropped up like a deposit of hard, shiny minerals along the horizon just outside of town, near the old Perdition Uranium Mine and Milling site. Its perimeter is gated and the gatehouse is always manned by armed guards. This government compound includes a huge lab, offices, and a medical wing. Officially, it is designated as an arm of the Department of the Interior. Delamar - A ghost town dubbed ‘The Widow-maker’ due to deadly dry milling techniques that killed dozens and dozens of the men who worked at the Delamar mine. Established in 1891, the mine operated lucratively until 1900 when nearly the entire city burned to the ground. After a difficult recovery, the mine closed in 1909 and by 1914 the town was abandoned. Nothing but the skeleton of old buildings and lingering ghosts remain in Delamar. Big Rock Wilderness - Fully encompassing the southernmost portion of the South Pahroc Range, this gorgeous national park includes steep and jagged mountains, canyons and an expansive field of large, jumbled boulders loved by rock climbers all over the state. Recreational opportunities include climbing, camping, hiking, horseback riding and hunting.

We invited our friends, family, and guild-mates to join us in the PU to experience how much progress our team has been working on to deliver 3.1 to everyone. Not only that, but we extended the Free Fly until Apr. 18th due to the huge success and fun everyone was having, we weren’t ready to spoil it. You can read more about the Free Fly and even sign up and get 4 vehicles to pilot in the Persistence Universe here.

With that, let’s see what’s going on this week:

Today sees a new episode of Calling All Devs, the show dedicated to answering the community’s most voted questions. This week, we address questions on persistence, snub craft development, landing systems and more. You can watch the episode here.

Every third Tuesday, our Lore Team will post a News Update feature, providing new fictional insight on the Star Citizen universe. Check out previously published lore posts here.

‘Bugsmashers!’ will return next Wednesday on it’s regular bi-weekly schedule.

On Thursday, we’ll welcome an all-new episode of Around the Verse with the latest info from the Development team. This week, it’s a focus on the Persistent Universe and how the new Character Customizer came to life.

Lastly on Friday, we start off the weekend with a new episode of Reverse the Verse LIVE. Stay tuned for further information about who our special guests will be this week.

That’s all for this week, citizens. We’ll see you in the ‘Verse!

Beautiful sunsets from your balcony! This cooperative unit features incredible, panoramic waterfront views of tranquil Greenwich Harbor and Long Island Sound. Every room looks out on the water with access to the terrace from both the living room and master bedroom. This two bedroom, two bathroom, second floor unit in the prominent Indian Harbor House has an expansive floor plan with oversized rooms and ample storage throughout. From the moment you open the door, you see the water across the spacious formal living room. There are two equally sized double hung doors in the foyer and a breakfast area off the kitchen. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, with a walk-in closet, double wide closet and linen closet all within. There is a second bedroom (currently being used as a den) with a second bathroom across the hall. The grounds are immaculate and the common spaces are pristine.
