#folklore's 1 year anniversary

[princecharmingwinks]

Thank you for tag, lovely @noyzinerd !! The snippet you provided on your post was brilliant! I have a few little fics on the go but this one is probably the closest to finished. Not named yet but it is a 5+1 Sterek where Stiles working at a bookstore slowly meets different members of Derek's pack who know Stiles is the perfect match for Derek.

It was a quiet Tuesday afternoon at Alpha Books, Stiles the only staff on while the bosses were away on their 2 year anniversary trip. He was happily humming along to the radio, reshelving when the bell jingled announcing a new customer. 

Stiles popped his head out of the aisle and smiled, “Welcome to Alpha Books, can I help you find anything today?” The new customer was a girl, maybe a few years younger than him and small in stature but her whole presence radiated Tough, with a capital T.

“What do you get your older idiot brother to distract him from the ridiculousness of his life?”

Stiles tried not to grin at the exasperated tone but it must not have worked because the girl’s eyebrows crinkled into a judgemental frown.

“Sorry,” He offered in apology before completely stepping out of the aisle. “What does your brother like to read?”

She huffed out an annoyed sound but Stiles wasn’t completely convinced it was aimed at him. “I have no bloody clue. How do you work out someone’s tastes?”

“Well, what’s he like? Maybe we can work it out together?” Stiles was getting excited now, he loved a good book hunt.

She nodded, taking a moment to think. “He’s one of those crazy morning people who actually enjoys jogging before 7am. But it also means he’s in bed like an old grandma by sundown. He doesn’t like anything too horror-y or gore-y. I guess maybe some kind of adventure series?”

Stiles lit up with excitement, this brother sounded like he may enjoy one of Stiles’ personal favourite series. “Has he ever read the Bean and Pennywise series?”

The girl frowned again, “Been what?”

Stiles held up his hand and ducked down another aisle, returning in a flurry with the first book in the series in hand. He offered it to the girl and gave her time to inspect both front and back covers, including the blurb.

“This Bean guy sounds just like his type.” She gave a small smile and Stiles had a feeling it was a rare sight he was beholding. 

He also had to fight against the blush that was probably forming when he realised he was about to admit that he related way too much to Bean. This girl was super pretty, if not also intimidating, and Stiles was sure her brother would be too. And based on her description, her brother sounded like someone Stiles would swoon over. Stating he was like the lead character in the novel who was apparently her brother's type was way too forward. 

“Awesome! I’ll ring it up for you.” Stiles took the book back and headed over to the counter, slipping the store’s bookmark that doubled as marketing for his blog inside the front cover.

Hope you liked this snippet! Tagging some mutuals since I'm not sure who has been writing lately or not. No pressure of course :) @fairytales-and-folklore @breakingjen @elisela @haletostilinski

Rhythm Generation

It's been 5 years since we released the first of what would become known as the "Rythm Generation" Gundam Wing fanzine project. For about 4 years, the fandom came together to share some really phenomenal fan creations - art, fic, meta, traditional crafts, and more.

Although the project has ended, I did want to share past publications for those who missed out. Each one of the zines was a labor of love, and I want to again thank everyone who participated--as moderators and contributors.

So jump down below the cutline and take a gander. Link to download page at bottom.

2019 Rhythm Generation (released May 4, 2019): A fandom zine for the Gundam Wing After Colony universe and a celebration of the fandom that has been 20+ years and counting. It featured written and graphical fandom work which provided depth and breadth to the AC universe and the world of Gundam Wing. The collection included a wide array of world building meta, articles, art, and graphics focused on science, politics, society, and art from the fandom’s resident experts and enthusiasts which highlight the creative dynamism that underpins the AC universe. There were several charities for this publication.

2020 Rhythm Generation (released April 7, 2020): An unofficial 25th anniversary fandom zine for Gundam Wing and is a creative celebration of the After Colony universe and the fandom family itself.  The anthology showcased a wealth of fandom content in celebration of the show’s 25th anniversary: from fanfic and fanart to cosplay and gunpla to meta, tech specs, and fandom history.  The project included both a core zine—Shooting Stars—with a generalized focused on the fandom and a bonus zine—The Measure of a Year—which featured content centered around the crowd-sourced theme of “Seasons.” The chosen charity for this publication was War Child 

2021 Rhythm Generation (released October 1, 2021): The 2021 Rhythm Generation Gundam Wing fandom zine—East of the Sun, West of the Moon—featured canon-compliant, canon-divergent, and alternative universe explorations and retellings of classic fairytales, folklore, mythology, vast epics, urban legends, and even cryptids. The anthology included a wide variety of both SFW and NSFW fan content—so tread carefully!—to include stories, art, and other fanwork. The 2021 chosen charity was World Literacy Foundation

2023 Rhythm Generation (released July 1, 2023): The 2023 Rhythm Generation Gundam Wing fandom zine returned to the two-part structure celebrating canon and alternate universe fanworks. The main zine—Battle Scars—centered on the Gundam Wing characters as they move on with their lives after a major event. The bonus zine—Kitchen Cabinets—featured fanworks with a tasty twist plus sprites and recipes as digital swag! The chosen charity was The Hunger Project

Jungkook's Melody

A short story of about 200-300 ish words. I haven't been able to post much recently. An apology for that...

In the quiet corners of Seoul, where cherry blossoms whispered secrets, Jungkook and Y/N found each other. He was the brooding artist, lost in the hues of his canvas, while she was the girl with stardust in her eyes.

Their paths crossed at a dimly lit café, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the promise of something more. Jungkook’s fingers brushed against hers as he handed her a sketchbook, and in that fleeting touch, their story began.

He painted her laughter—vibrant strokes of crimson and gold—while she wove melodies into his heart. Y/N’s voice danced through the air, a symphony of longing and hope. Jungkook listened, entranced, as if her every note held the universe’s secrets.

Under moonlit skies, they traced constellations with their fingertips. Jungkook whispered poetry against her skin, and Y/N’s laughter echoed through the night. They became each other’s muse, their love a masterpiece painted across time.

But life, like a tempest, threatened their fragile canvas. Jungkook’s dreams pulled him toward distant horizons, while Y/N’s roots anchored her to Seoul. Tears blurred their sketches, yet love remained—the indelible ink that refused to fade.

On a rainy afternoon, Jungkook played his guitar, the chords echoing through their shared memories. Y/N stood by the window, raindrops tracing her cheeks. “Promise me,” she said, “that our love will be our eternal melody.”

He kissed her, tasting rain and forever. “Always,” he vowed, intertwining their souls like the ivy that clung to ancient walls.

And so, in the quiet corners of Seoul, where cherry blossoms whispered secrets, Jungkook and Y/N wrote their love story—a symphony of passion, painted with love’s brush, and set against the canvas of their hearts.

Their love story unfolded like a timeless ballad. Jungkook and Y/N faced trials and triumphs, their hearts etched with shared memories.

1. The Farewell: Jungkook’s art took him to Paris, where cobblestone streets whispered of forgotten romances. Y/N stood at the airport, her fingers tracing the edges of his sketchbook. “Come back,” she pleaded, her eyes mirroring the Seine’s melancholy waves. He promised to return, but promises are fragile things.

2. The Letters: Distance couldn’t sever their bond. Jungkook’s letters arrived like love notes from the cosmos. Y/N read them under the same moon that witnessed their first kiss. His words painted sunsets and star clusters, and she replied with verses that tasted of longing.

3. The Reunion: Years passed—a canvas of missed birthdays and silent anniversaries. Then, one autumn day, Jungkook stood outside her door. His hair held traces of silver, but his eyes still held constellations. Y/N’s laughter echoed through the hallway as she flung herself into his arms. “You’re my favorite melody,” she whispered.

4. The Eternity: They settled in a cozy Seoul apartment, surrounded by Jungkook’s paintings and Y/N’s melodies. Their love story became folklore—the boy who painted galaxies and the girl who sang them into existence. Jungkook’s hands found hers, weathered yet tender. “Our love,” he said, “is our eternal symphony.”

And so, in the quiet corners of Seoul, where cherry blossoms whispered secrets, Jungkook and Y/N danced through life—a masterpiece of love, painted stroke by stroke, note by note. 🌸🎨🎶

Dioraden: Legends - Morthos and Damakos

The Legend of Morthos and Damakos

Excerpt from ‘Fairy Tales, Folklore and Legends’ by Finnyan Goodebarrel. 150th anniversary edition[Fact Checked by Damien Likert] -Published 6-146

Long ago, in the days of the great empire the dragonborne ruled much of Evala, and cruel masters they were[1]. The elves were taken as slaves en mass, those who refused to submit were publicly and brutally punished in the way that many slaves still are in Bekik Okathrel. And the humans were not much better off, taxed so heavily that many starved to death, men beaten in the streets, women raped. It was a dark time in Anderos[2] But where evil rules, heroes rise to the challenge. And so, it was. A small group of people with power enough to reshape the world: two human brothers, driven by the agony of loss and the hatred of the oppressed gathered together a small band of rebels and endeavoured to learn arcane secrets and practice dark magic in the hopes of turning the tide and taking back their homes.

On one clear night, when the moons hid their faces[3] the six met in a dark and lonely field[4]. There they performed ancient rituals and summoned six demons to make six pacts. They gave their blood and vowed the blood of the dragonborne and in return were given the ability to weave the magic of the 6 hells that they would be guardians of this land, and their children after them. When their dark work was done the 6 fell into a deep sleep and after 6 days, they woke, their bodies changed. Their skin had changed hue, their heads had sprouted horns and their backs had grown tails. Each had taken on the likeness of their demon master.[5]

Their true names lost to time, they became: Lerissa the Spider Queen, Therakai the Trickster, Reita the Dark One, Amnon the Conflagration, Damakos the Hammer, and his brother Morthos, time bender.

Together they swept the land, terrorising the dragonborne invaders with waves or horrifying arachnids, or with images of death and destruction, puppeting their bodies and even turning their own dreams against them. The dragonborne were broken, driven mad. Smashed and burned, man woman and child all alike. And Morthos stood lord of the destruction as chaos spread.

The dragonborne were forced out in just a year [6], an army of thousands defeated by what was once 4 humans and 2 elves. What elves they could free were un-endingly greatful, as were many of the humans, but still some looked upon their cursed formes and dark powers and saw an evil as great as that which they had defeated.

Corrupted by their power the 5 became greedy and bloodthirsty. This land was theirs, they had fought and bled for it, they would rule it. And rule they did. They divided Anderos into 5 kingdoms and declared themselves kings and queens. Fresh from the horrors of dragonborne rule the people celebrated victory and welcomed in the champions, blind to the changes war had wrought in their hearts.

Morthos alone rejected the call of power and disappeared, never to be heard of again, although stories of a strange hooded man performing acts both wondrous and terrible abound from the planes and grasslands of the south. [7]

The 5 immortal tieflings grew to be s corrupt and evil as the dragonborne they had driven out, and after a hundred of their rule a new rebel force grew up to oppose them, a loose coalition of many wizards and sorcerers using natural magic to combat and overcome the dark power of the 5. [8]

[1] dragonborne empire, so called as it was ruled by a family of dragonborne, then as today, the people of Bekik Okathrel are equal parts human and dragonborne.

[2] Anderos Did not yet exist, prior to dragonborne rule these lands were part of the Astreinian Empire, Zikas Ruchane, a former colony, remains loyal to the empire, and some there seek to rebuild it.

[3] for reference, Dioraden once had 3 moons, the two smallest collided almost a century after the original work was written, the Sehaneen Lights is comprised of the resulting debris.

[4] factually inaccurate, it was a barn, one that still stands to this day

[5] it is unknown which demons they made pacts with specifically, likely this refers to their general demon-like appearance. To wit:

Morthos and his decedents re characterised by purple skin, often their horns remain covered by soft felt-like skin, although it is common for tis covering to be removed when they come of age (around 13) revealing a glossy black bone, horn shape is as individual as a fingerprint. Morthos was intelligent and charismatic a born leader and tactician. He preferred to outwit opponents rather than fight them head on. And of course, he learned to manipulate the flow and effects of time.

Damakos and his decedents are red-skinned with white, uncovered horns which sweep back against the head then up and forward again, although Damakos horns tend to remain short and practical until much later in life. Damakos was the older brother of Morthos. impulsive and viscous, he preferred direct action and revelled in the thrill of battle. His ability was to strengthen himself and his weapons, dealing supernatural mounts of damage and healing supernaturally quickly.

Amnon and his decedents have pale orange skin and long curved horns, which don’t show until puberty and tend match skin tone at the base, fading to black half way up. Like Damakos, Amnon seemingly loved to fight, preferring to ambush opponents with blitz attacks before disappearing. He had a great affinity for fire.

Reita’s skin remained unchanged in colour, a human pink. She and her decedents bare goat like red horns, curling back around and outwards. Growth beginning at age 3 and taking until 25 to reach full size. Reita made use of telepathy and psychic attacks to break her opponent’s minds, even controlling some.

Therakai and his decedents have dark blue skin with simple and thin horns that trace the crown of the head, usually black. Therakai was a trickster, an illusionist, distracting his opponents with false images or sounds, misleading them, or scaring them away.

Lerissa, and her decedents had ash-grey skin and traditional demonic horns, usually in brilliant white. Lerissa, Therakai’s younger sister, had a great affinity for nature, especially arachnids, which she could charm into following her and obeying her orders. Lerissa’s bloodline has become entangled with the other 5 over generations, to the point where she has few clear decedents left, most having the likeness of another tieflings.

A note on tiefling biology. Decedents of Lerissa and Therakai can bear children with elves, but not humans. Amnon and Reita decedents can only successfully reproduce with other tieflings. Damakos decedents can reproduce with humans but will always have a human child and Morthos decedents can reproduce with humans, elves and tieflings and will always have children resembling either Morthos unless one parent is a child of Damakos.

[6] really more like 10 years

[7] indeed, many have a moral quality to them, the good being well rewarded and the bad being punished, often horrifically

[8] the country continues to be ruled to this by a coalition of mages who have proven their intelligence and academic ability

9 Surprising Facts About St. Patrick’s Day

Who Was the Real St. Patrick? Was That Legend About the Snakes True? And Why Did So Many St. Patrick's Day Traditions Start in America?

— By History .Com Editors | March 7, 2024

Photograph By Anna Usova/Getty Images

While St. Patrick’s Day is now associated with wearing green, parades (when they're not canceled) and beer, the holiday is grounded in history that dates back more than 1,500 years. The earliest known celebrations were held in the 17th century on March 17, marking the anniversary of the death of St. Patrick in the 5th century. Learn more about the holiday’s history and how it evolved into the event it is today.

1. The Real St. Patrick Was Born in Britain

Much of what is known about St. Patrick's life has been interwoven with folklore and legend. Historians generally believe that St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was born in Britain (not Ireland) near the end of the 4th century. At age 16 he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and sold as a slave to a Celtic priest in the area now known as Northern Ireland. After toiling for six years as a shepherd, he escaped back to Britain. He eventually returned to Ireland as a Christian missionary.

2. St. Patrick Was Never Canonized

Despite his status as a patron saint, St. Patrick was never actually canonized by the Church during his lifetime. This was primarily because such a process did not exist when he died in A.D. 461. It wasn’t until 993 that St. Ulrich of Augsburg became the first saint to be formally canonized, and it was not until the 12th century that the Church established an official canonization process overseen by the Pope. While St. Patrick has not been formally canonized, many consider him to hold saintly status.

3. There Were No Snakes Around for St. Patrick to Banish from Ireland

Among the legends associated with St. Patrick is that he stood atop an Irish hillside and banished snakes from Ireland—prompting all serpents to slither away into the sea. In fact, research suggests snakes never occupied the Emerald Isle in the first place. There are no signs of snakes in the country’s fossil record. And water has surrounded Ireland since the last glacial period. Before that, the region was covered in ice and would have been too cold for the reptiles.

4. Leprechauns Are Likely Based on Celtic Fairies

The red-haired, green-clothed Leprechaun is commonly associated with St. Patrick’s Day. The original Irish name for these figures of folklore is “lobaircin,” meaning “small-bodied fellow.” Belief in leprechauns likely stems from Celtic belief in fairies— tiny men and women who could use their magical powers to serve good or evil. In Celtic folktales, leprechauns were cranky souls, responsible for mending the shoes of the other fairies.

5. The Shamrock Was Considered a Sacred Plant

The shamrock, a three-leaf clover, has been associated with Ireland for centuries. It was called the “seamroy” by the Celts and was considered a sacred plant that symbolized the arrival of spring. According to legend, St. Patrick used the plant as a visual guide when explaining the Holy Trinity. By the 17th century, the shamrock had become a symbol of emerging Irish nationalism.

6. Ireland’s Only Female Patron Saint, Brigid, Has Her Own Holiday

One of Ireland’s three patron saints, alongside St. Patrick and St. Columcille, St. Brigid (or Bridget) is the patron saint of Irish nuns, newborns, midwives, dairy maids and cattle. Believed to have been born in Ireland sometime around A.D. 450, Brigid was the daughter of a pagan king and an enslaved woman. She grew up to serve the church by building a church in Kildare, which was the site of a former shrine to the Celtic goddess, eponymous to her.

Said to have died in A.D. 524, Brigid's memory was kept alive by the church, which canonized her as St. Brigid. In 2023, Ireland designated February 1 a permanent public holiday in Brigid’s honor.

7. The First St. Patrick’s Day Parade Was Held in America

While people in Ireland had celebrated St. Patrick since the 1600s, the tradition of a St. Patrick’s Day parade began in America and actually predates the founding of the United States.

Records show that a St. Patrick’s Day parade was held on March 17, 1601, in a Spanish colony in what is now St. Augustine, Florida. The parade and a St. Patrick’s Day celebration a year earlier were organized by the Spanish Colony's Irish vicar Ricardo Artur. More than a century later, homesick Irish soldiers serving in the English military marched in Boston in 1737 and in New York City on March 17. Enthusiasm for the St. Patrick’s Day parades in New York City, Boston and other early American cities only grew from there. In 2020 and 2021, parades throughout the country, including in New York City and Boston, were canceled or postponed for the first time in decades due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. They returned in 2022.

8. The Irish Were Once Scorned in America

While Irish Americans are now proud to showcase their heritage, the Irish were not always celebrated by fellow Americans. Beginning in 1845, a devastating potato blight caused widespread hunger throughout Ireland. While approximately 1 million perished, another 2 million abandoned their land in the largest-single population movement of the 19th century. Most of the exiles—nearly a quarter of the Irish nation—came to the shores of the United States. Once they arrived, the Irish refugees were looked down upon as disease-ridden, unskilled and a drain on welfare budgets.

9. Corned Beef and Cabbage Was an American Innovation

The meal that became a St. Patrick’s Day staple across the country—corned beef and cabbage—was an American innovation. While ham and cabbage were eaten in Ireland, corned beef offered a cheaper substitute for impoverished immigrants. Irish Americans living in the slums of lower Manhattan in the late 19th century and early 20th purchased leftover corned beef from ships returning from the tea trade in China. The Irish would boil the beef three times—the last time with cabbage—to remove some of the brine.

Your Result:

"august

(narrator of august) oh honey. you are looking for love in all the wrong places and dedicating yourself to it with

the kind of fervor that never ends well. slow down and remember that love isn't something you find, it's something you build. but i'm no relationship therapist. you're kind and loyal and wholehearted and i promise you losing one relationship won't devastate you forever."



Result:

"august

my poor sweet child. stop selling yourself short. you love so hard, and when you fall into things, you do it for the thrill, but you fall incredibly hard. your inexperience with love and life causes you to mourn what you don't have. you are idealistic, and a hopeless romantic. you are infatuated with the idea of being loved, and wanted. you are

unassertive, and choose to live in the moment. you never tell others what YOU want.

[whatremained]

who are your. top free danganronpa characters and why? <- guy who is very curious… and also knows little to nothing about the series anymore!!! Memory fades. ,:3

-Doc

got the other one so i know u mean 3!!!

in order

1. chihiro

2. korekiyo

3. hajime

chihiro’s is that they’re genuinely one of the most talented and intelligent individuals in the series, and they’re use their skills to actively help others, even after they’ve died themself. they help makoto SURVIVE the killing game as they literally are the ONLY reason makoto’s execution was stopped. not to mention how incredibly brave they were during the time they were alive. they may seem like a popular choice for favorites, but most of the time, people ignore all they did and reduce them to chapter two and freetime events, and that’s NOT their character. i love them literally so much, and i think people should actually look into how skilled they are!!

woo. korekiyo. kiyo. agh. this one might be long. kiyo MAY be a favorite for a reason i don’t want to list publicly (i could PROBABLY tell u personally, i trust you) but that’s not just the reason. though i doubt kiyo was purposely written as a victim, there’s a lot of evidence where it can point you to that interpretation… and i think there does need to be more representation of characters who have unhealed trauma, or who arent aware that they’re being harmed, even if it’s not great, he’s there. he also!!! is a dick and it’s very funny. he’s not snobbish, he’s just a bitch but not in an annoying way. and some of the shit he says is so funny. kiyo’s interest in folklore and anthropology also connects with me personally, i wanted to be an anthropologist for years, and have multiple books full of just folklore and urban legends!! along with that, korekiyo’s weird relationship with grief and death is so interesting to me as well. also they’re just kinda cool looking. i wish i had hair like that. and their anniversary outfit and the way it reflects. old japanese wear. idk what the fuck it’s called. also. kiyo’s argument armament art. all of it. i like kiyo a lot. would i get beat up and jumped if i said i kind of relate to him. like a lot.

and. hajime. i don’t have a huge reason. he’s probably the funniest protagonist, i’ll give him that. his relationship with other people in sdr2 is also very fun to watch. like how he doesn’t decline kazuichi’s weird ass requests because they’re friends but he’d rather be doing anything else than be next to him. or when hajime says some stupid shit to fuyuhiko. or honestly to anyone. he’s just. a funny guy with a lot more lore than the rest of the protagonists and i adore him. he’s also a fucking dumbass because why the fuck did he need to ask himself some of the questions he did during the trials.
