Title: The Four Pillars

Author: H.M. Long

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2021

Genres: fiction, fantasy, mythology, adventure

Blurb: Hessa is an Eangi: a warrior priestess of the Goddess of War, with the power to turn an enemy's bones to dust with a scream. Banished for disobeying her goddess' command to murder a traveller, she prays for forgiveness alone on a mountainside. While she is gone, raiders raze her village and obliterate the Eangi priesthood. Grieving and alone, Hessa - the last Eangi - must find the traveller, atone for her weakness, and secure her place with her loved ones in the High Halls. As clans from the north and legionaries from the south tear through her homeland, slaughtering everyone in their path, Hessa strives to win back her goddess' favour. Beset by zealot soldiers, deceitful gods, and newly-awakened demons at every turn, Hessa burns her path towards redemption and revenge...but her journey reveals a harrowing truth: the gods are dying, and the High Halls of the afterlife are fading. Soon, Hessa's trust in her goddess weakens with every unheeded prayer. Thrust into a battle between the gods of the Old World and the New, Hessa realises there is far more on the line than securing a life beyond her own death. Bigger, older powers slumber beneath the surface of her world...and they're about to wake up.

Dude I'm literally obsessed with your art, it's AMAZING. Also, thank you for making those family trees?! They're amazing and really help me with recalling who is who and related to who, lmao. You're literally the best, bless.

acckkkkk thank you nonnie!!!!! thats so kind of you to say! im especially thankful you like those family trees...... warning for incoming yap session! i pinned it on my blog bc i thought itd be helpful for ppl unfamiliar with my designs of who's-who, but looking back on it now ALMOST THREE YEARS LATER?!?!?!?!!???? there's so many things with it that i wish i could change! im really honoured that youve been finding it helpful with recalling who's related to who, but now i tend to feel guilty abt possibly feeding ppl the wrong information about tolkien's lore aaahahaha (seeing as some of the family relations there e.g. rumil being miriels dad, glorfindel being elenwe's brother, mags n his wife having two kids, are my own headcanon OTL)

nonetheless, its really really high praise to hear that and im very grateful you took the time to send in such a lovely ask, anon! ❤️ hearing all this talk of trees and whatnot made me think back to a tolkien untangled video i was watching where he basically said along the lines of 'most of the iconic elven genealogy in middle earth can be traced down to starting with finwe and elwe' which really shook my worldview HAHA... so in the spirit of continuing silly ask doodles, here's two bros doing some gardening together :D

thank you so much again for such kind words, and i hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!! and a very happy and belated new year's to everyone reading this! ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ

7 Sins Legacy - generation 4 (pride)

Alban: I'm sorry dude, I really thought she was interested in you. Gulshan: I'ts fine... I wouldn't pick me over him either.

Alban: Hey, you're great. Halle just kept stringing you along for far too long. She's kind of a messy type. He is as well-

-It's just stupid of him that he goes after the girl you like. Gulshan: I... never really made it clear that I like her in that way.

Alban: Right, he probably doesn't even realize. Gulshan: We've all been part of the same friend group since we started high school. He had as good a chance as I did... If not a better one.

Alban: So you're okay with it? Gulshan: I don't want to make things complicated. It's probably for the better.

Alban: Want a smoke? It always helps when I'm feeling a bit down. Gulshan: Oh, I-

Alban: You have a light? Gulshan: No? ...Actually I do, there's one right here.

Gulshan picked up the lighter that someone had left on the table in front of him and lit the cigarette while trying to inhale the smoke-

-which caused him to have a coughing fit. Alban: Hehe- always happens. Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

Circle of Inevitability Chapter 1011 Spoilers

Madam Justice looked at them and said with a smile, "Now that we've discussed the important matters, I'll give you a general account of Mr. Fool's experiences, starting with Klein Moretti…" The relevant events had actually been mentioned in the previous document, but not in enough detail. This time, Madam Justice spoke as if she had seen and heard it personally, starting from the Antigonus family notes and continuing all the way to the end of the Tingen story.

After a moment of silence, Lumian asked slowly, "Captain Dunn and Klein Moretti died just like that at the Blackthorn Security Company, to prevent the descent of the True Creator's spawn?"

"Yes," Madam Magician said with a self-deprecating smile. "Now I understand why Klein Moretti could be resurrected." Loki's multiple resurrections were a good example.

Lumian fell silent.

Jenna said with some emotion, "No wonder Officer Deng is also a person who maintains order in the dream city."

After expressing her feelings, she asked curiously, "The final events are so detailed, were they narrated by a survivor at the time?" "Yes." Madam Justice nodded.

Jenna had a flash of inspiration. "Mr. Star?" The Major Arcana card holder—Mr. Star—was indeed a Nighthawk of the Church of Evernight! Madam Justice smiled lightly but didn't give a clear answer.

Madam Magician changed the subject. "The real-world Rozanne also said that as much as she hates others becoming Beyonders, she admires the Nighthawks."

Jenna made a sound of agreement and said with some emotion, "No wonder the Luo Shan in the dream city has always wanted to become a qualified guardian…"

After a brief silence, Madam Justice and Madam Magician took turns talking about the different identities of Mr. Fool, such as Sherlock Moriarty and Gehrman Sparrow.

They didn't dare to go into too much detail, only picking key points to narrate, fearing it would delay matters in the dream city.

aww they started reading LotM to them

I want to be honest but I'm not sure I know how

I want to be confident but I feel like a horrible person when I don't apologize for something that wasn't my fault

I have a great time every Sunday when I'm not at home

When I don't have to hear my family yelling at each other

When I don't have to worry about having no friends

Because Church is my real home, where all my friends are, where everything I really love is

But then I go back to my house, and I don't want to be real anymore

I'm happy some moments but I know it never lasts, so I've slowly begun to wonder why is matters

Why should I be happy when I know it won't stay?

I love all of you I really do, but every time I see something you make, I love it, but it reminds me I'm leagues behind you, and no matter how much I grow, you'll always be higher

I want to support you

But everything you make makes me want to cry because I'll never be your equal. And I know that.

"My writing isn't in any way referential". Skill issue. Every day I realize/remember where I got an idea for this or that thing in the story I'm writing.

[flordosmuros]

This has story behind it , basically one day we were walking trough school and we saw something glued with tape on the wall, we came closer to investigate the the thing, it was a drawing with an "Amogus Guy " type of character talking to one another essentially saying "Eu sou maconha" and the other guy says "Poético" that if you were to translate it said "I'm weed" , "Poetic" and after some months , it was taken down/torn apart by someone.
