“Il silenzio illumina l’anima,

sussurra ai cuori e li unisce.”

— khali Gibran

[elenascrive]

Non erano ancora le 5 del pomeriggio, quando sei apparsa a capolino di un cielo terso d’autunno, mostrandoti a spicchio, per illuminare la strada agli uccelli in volo, e con Loro anche la Mia. Lo sai già, quando m’appari di giorno l’emozione che provo è ancora più forte ed indescrivibile. Tu ci sei sempre, soprattutto quando non Ti vedo.

Alla fine la luna non è altro che un sasso, ma grazie al sole diventa bellissima e illumina la notte.

A volte anche le persone sono diamanti grezzi e grazie a qualcuno poi splendono.

Se la felicità avesse una forma, avrebbe una forma cristallina, perché può essere intorno a te senza che te ne accorga. Ma se cambi la tua prospettiva, puoi riflettere una luce capace di illuminare tutto.

Thanks for the recs! What Comes of Attending the Commoner's Ball is a recent release that I've been looking forward to reading. The author is a friend of mine, and I've heard very good things about the book. I enjoyed a novella she wrote. I haven't read Moonscript for similar reasons. It's too dark for me. But I love the author and her work, all the same. (She's another good friend of mine, as is the author of Illuminare.) I HAVE read Illuminare, and it is phenomenal!! I highly recommend it. It's intriguing adult epic fantasy with a heist story, a brotherly friendship, and a few frenemy relationships. I own it in paperback and ebook, and it's gorgeous.

Heads up for people who like fantasy: There's a two-day sale (12/6 and 12/7) with a whole bunch of free indie ebooks. It's billed as "no-spice fantasy", but in a lot of cases, that just means "the book is focused on things besides romance", which I appreciate because that can be really hard to find in this marketplace.

There are some that look like fluffy tropefests, but also a surprising number of books that I've wanted to read for a while, and several that sound decent-enough to make me go, "Well, for the price of free, I can taste it and throw it away if I have to." It's definitely worth checking out.

Hi, it’s been a long time since I’ve been in the Avatar fandom and I was trying to get my friend into them! I remembered you being one of my fav blogs since you wrote Chiaroscuro. Long story short— has there ever been some kind of lore masterposts for Avatar? I can find bajillions of Ghost lore posts but I’m having trouble finding anything for Avatar or at the very least for the Avatar Country era. Thank you for basically being a pillar in the fandom for so many years!

Hi, welcome back to Avatar Country!

First of all ... a pillar in the fandom?!?!? I am SHOOK with the honor, thank YOU for those kind words!!! I am but a humble servant to our king and his royal circle, I live to serve. (And by serve, I mean reblog everything Avatar-related so that my obsession can be everyone's problem...)

As for your question ... I'm thinking the reason you aren't finding anything is because there isn't anything out there. Unlike Ghost, Avatar isn't really a lore-based or lore-focused band. Avatar Country was the closest they've ever come to having official lore, and really that was only for that specific era. Even Feathers and Flesh wasn't lore about the band -- it was a fable brought to life with music. At this point, they bring out the royal costuming when they perform AC songs at shows, but it's usually only for one (sometimes two) songs.

The only thing I can come up with to offer as "lore" would be Legend of Avatar Country: A Metal Odyssey, the movie (featuring the three videos that they also put out for the album's singles) that the boys made with the help of a Kickstarter campaign, and it's so much fun! (There are a few elements in the videos that inspired @girlwiththepapatattoo and I as we developed our vision of the Chiaroscuro version of Avatar Country, but since the movie came out after most of our beast was written, it almost felt like WE inspired THEM.) It's available on Youtube and I'm pretty sure it's also available on avatarcountry.com. Speaking of avatarcountry.com, that's a great place to check out the boys' behind-the-scenes stuff, the play-throughs with Tim and Kungen, and little clips of them being the ridiculous dorks I love and adore. It's not lore in the traditional sense, but the history of the band and how Avatar has evolved over the years is just as fantastically rich as anything they could have invented. If you aren't already a part of it, you can join in at any time (I THINK you can set up a free account by filling out a "tourist visa" that lets you check out everything on the site, but don't quote me on that. Otherwise, becoming a citizen costs about $30.)

OH, almost forgot! There is The Making of Avatar Country, the book that they wrote/published through the Kickstarter campaign, available to purchase on avatarcountry.com. It. Is. FABULOUS. The photography alone makes it worth the cost. Again, not lore in the traditional sense, but seeing how Avatar Country was brought to life is *chef's kiss*. 10000/10 highly recommend.

And (shameless plug alert), you know, you can always re-read the beast in all its many parts ... lore abounds there. =)

Hey, look at that, I babbled once again and wrote a small novel instead of a normal-size response. *ahem* Hope this helped, and thanks so much for the ask! Always here for more asks if you have them ... as you can see, I love talking about my favorite Swedes!

The plagiarist has a google doc of her works and just denied me access to it since I’ve been watching the updates.

Smfh.

If you’re not doing something shady, you wouldn’t give a fuck that people are watching.

Vivere Intensamente: La Torcia della Vita secondo George Bernard Shaw. Recensione Alessandria today

Illuminare il cammino degli altri è il modo migliore per onorare il dono della vita, lasciando un’impronta che continuerà a brillare anche quando non saremo più presenti.

Illuminare il cammino degli altri è il modo migliore per onorare il dono della vita, lasciando un’impronta che continuerà a brillare anche quando non saremo più presenti.

Nel mio cuore, c’è un angolo buio che solo tu sai illuminare. Ma ricorda, le luci nei luoghi oscuri sono spesso accompagnate da ombre

Okay, ya'll, I just got followed by @/just-a-girl-whos-a-major-simp, and I have a feeling it's @just-a-fanvergent-fangirl's alt. Some of you guys might already know they've been plagiarising fics.

Like, I don't want to be rude and jump to conclusions, but you can tell it's a fresh blog, and it already has a few fics and a huge ass master list.

Edit: The blog name is "illuminare-writer" now. Block them <3

"Tutto ciò che fai in questo momento si riflette all'esterno e colpisce tutti. La tua postura può illuminare il tuo cuore o trasmettere ansia. Il tuo respiro può irradiare amore o intorbidire la stanza con la depressione. Il tuo sguardo può risvegliare la gioia. Le tue parole possono ispirare libertà. Ogni tuo atto può aprire cuori e menti..." ~ David Deida ********************** " Everything you do right now ripples outward and affects everyone. Your posture can shine your heart or transmit anxiety. Your breath can radiate love or muddy the room in depression. Your glance can awaken joy. Your words can inspire freedom. Your every act can open hearts and minds..." ~ David Deida
