ONE MONTH UNTIL SEPTEMBER

This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath, the door of a vanished house left ajar

Margaret Atwood, Eating Fire: Selected Poetry, 1965-95

kind of obsessed with the implications that jester messaging imogen like a minute after caleb received orym and imogen’s sendings. since (i believe) caleb doesn’t possess the sending spell himself, this leaves me with three options:

1. jester was within one-minuteish distance from wherever caleb was (and maybe the rest of the mighty nein?), ranting frantically and insisting she casts sending on this girl jester’s never met

2. caleb randomly teleported to wherever jester was, which means he could have… interrupted something (if the original mighty nein reunion is any indication, he has terrible timing)

3. caleb was with essek, and made essek cast sending on jester, who probably would’ve been insanely thrilled to be contacted from her absolute favorite sending target first for once.

…and i can’t decide which option is my favorite.

this longest night I hope you are warm and cosy. I hope you are well fed. I hope you have a soft blanket and a fire (or at least a candle). I hope you can reflect on this year with compassion and look to the next with hope. I hope you can rest in the darkness and feel the sun on your face very soon. The light is coming back, we will make it through!

Wishing everyone a happy Yule and a bright Solstice!

This winter solstice, the darkest day of the year, I wish you all peace, love and hope. As the days grow brighter, so may our troubled world. * Also, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who cheered me on through a year of personal struggle with likes and shares and encouraging comments. Your support for my art means the world to me ❤️ I didn’t have time to make a new and more appropriate card to go with this more-serious-than-normal message, so we’ll have to make do with season’s greetings from thirst trap Santa *ahem* I mean pagan fertility god. Hope he brings you a smile 🎅🏻❄️ (Somebody find him a sweater, it’s chilly out)

Lurlinalia is a holiday I made up to be an x-mas analog in Oz.

Wicked did a similar thing with "Lurlinemas", but that sounds so forced and awkward to my ears! But more importantly, I don't think "Lurlinemas" is public domain.

Winter solstice is either on December 21st or 22nd, depending on the year and on where you are when it happens. Do a web search to find out what day it is in your city!

In Seattle, WA (aka "the Emerald City"), winter solstice happened on the 21st in 1904 (the year this comic takes place). In Australia (aka Oz), it happened on the 22nd in 1904.

In other news... I'll be going on hiatus for the last two weeks of December! I'll be back on January 2nd! Thank you as always for your support!
