Plant of the Day

Monday 17 June 2024

In a front garden in Kirkwall, Orkney, a Laburnum anagyroides (common laburnum, golden chain, golden rain) was flowering. It has been a cold, wet spring but this tree was a cheerful addition to the street landscape.

Some proper Art for my Golden Chain AU. Aka Alastor sold his soul to Lucifer while still alive, and once he died he became immediately in service to the Royal family.

Also, yes I do really love to come up with new designs/outfits for each of my AUs

[kame-writes]

So tomorrow's inktober prompt is AU. And despite having so many AUs already, my brain decided to come up with a whole new one apparently. And I think it's the first one that is almost certainly going to be RadioApple!

Golden Chain (wip name):

A young Alastor summons the devil for the power to keep his friends and mother safe, and despite his usual refusal of such things, in a moment of sympathy Lucifer agrees to the contract.

After death, Alastors soul is now owned by the king of hell, manifesting in the Palace of Lucifer, Lillith and their very young daughter. None of them are sure what to do about this predicament.

something that I rarely see people talk about is the caste system in Aristasia , the "estates" ( https://web.archive.org/web/20080219182007/http://wiki.bluecamellia.org/index.php/Estates ). It's something that I can't really get out of my mind. There are many things about Aristasia thought that one can get used to or "close an eye" on, but this one... I really can't understand how one could justify, in a society that supposedly is in harmony with Dea, some people being born to only serve others. Does anyone have any additional info or reading material on these estates?

Yes! I really agree with how hard it is to justify this! I missed out on this bit of Aristasian canon until recently (although I was aware of the maid/mistress emphasis) because of the terminology. I’d seen reference to the Estates, but didn’t know it was literally describing a caste system.

I guess, in Aristasia-in-Telluria and other earthly recreations of Aristasia Pura life, you can “get away” with this because most maids had many personas, so no one was ever strictly in the lowest caste. It was mostly theoretical for role playing purposes.

But, I definitely do agree that it seems to contrast greatly with the idea that Dea loves all maids equally, if some were born to be servants. I’m sure the reasoning I would get is that: it relates to the Golden Chain, I’m thinking like an pit dwelling Tellurian to associate service with “lesser”, and that it’s all acts of Amity and thus good. But it still seems sad.

I don’t have any more reading about the Estates, unfortunately. As the link you shared is mostly the only writing on it. Much talk has been made, in Aristasia, about being a servant, but the Estates seem to be rarely mentioned. But I’ll keep an eye open for any talk specifically about the Estates when I’m in the archives!

I Swear Golden Chain AU is more than Alastors adventures in babysitting. Baby Charlie is just so cute to draw

🤔

Honestly, I really want to Start the Golden Chain Au, I have so many cute, soft domestic ideas for Alastor and the morningstar family (before and after Lillith and Lucifer split). I just haven't gotten around to it, and am struggling a bit on how to go about the first chapter/part

Part of me also wants to do a Swap!AU Chaggie fic. Because the one art I did of Seap!AU gave me a whole vibe for those two in that AU which could be fun to explore.
