i am so intrigued by the calendar and would love and explanation if you're willing 👀

Rubbing my little hands together, we got someone to ask lads (sorry I’m late but here we are)

ANYWAY. Calendar of Avan. A year has 532 days, nineteen months, with four weeks of seven days each month. It’s also split into two ‘half-years’, with 8 1/2 months in the first half and 10 1/2 in the second. For moon reasons we will discuss below

Top wheel is the first half of the year, bottom wheel is the second! The first month is Asellio, then follow both wheels around clockwise to get back to the middle. The middle month there is Liba, in its own circle. This is because the 14th night of Liba is ‘brightnight’ (it’s probably going to be all working titles used in this post) - when both moons are completely full! Then we go around the bottom wheel, until you get back up to the dark circle just above Liba. It’s the first day of the year, as you may have guessed, because it’s the night of the twin new moons, or ‘darknight’. The night between Eumenes of the old year and Asellio of the new.

Seasons as follows:

Stormtide - a season of chaotic weather patterns between winter and spring, a literal storm season

Daybirth - spring

Sunpeak - summer

Starfall - I don’t have an excuse for this one, I just think there being a time of the year where the sky is full of comets/shooting stars/etc is too good to pass up

Dayfade - autumn

Frostwake - winter

I think that covers like all the immediate questions about the calendar here.. if I missed something or want me to expound on anything y’all can just lmk

Side note - because the year is so long, some inhabitants of Avan might keep track of their birthdays as well as which half of the year they are in. For example, if our example character was turning 25 years old in our universe, irl, then on Avan they would be in the first half of their 17th year. This is probably officially noted as something like 17-1 or 17/1, but the one is implied, so noted just 17. On the other hand, if the example was turning 23, they’d be in the second half of their 15th year on Avan, something like 15-2 or 15/2.

Or maybe they just keep track of plain old years 🤷 we’re still messing around with everything. For ease of reading and for clarity I’ll probably just refer to seasons and ages as their Earth equivalents most of the time, but just know. I’ve thought about all this lol

the curse of adhd:

i will remember with absolute clarity, when the thought strikes me that i have a text to send someone, that this is the fourth time in three days i've attempted to send this specific text

i will forget, in the time it takes me to pick up my phone, that i picked it up intending to send a text

So.... what are your thoughts on Ace's UM, if you haven't been asked this already?

sneaky magic for the sneakiest boy

no but really, I think it fits him really well! I had thought his UM would probably involve something kinda sleight-of-handy or pickpockety! and I looooved that it made such a nice loop-around back to episode 1. ❤️ I was. kind of half-expecting him to just run out and punch Riddle in the nose again. but instead this time 'twas he who offed the queen's head! it was great! and he did it while stone-cold terrified out of his mind! because Ace is the only remotely normal or well-adjusted person at NRC and therefore the only one who is like "we're going to literally die, this is super effed up". but he did it anyway!!!! I AM SO PROUD

Jason travels to an alternate universe where Bruce only cares about being Batman. He took in each of his kids to serve the mission, not be his children.

Now, faced with alternate versions of his family, Jason has to grapple with the fact that his Bruce does care, that he is his father. Because the man in front of him now, trying to send him home, isn’t even close.

Thinking about the fact that, to pull Gale from the stone and get him in the game at all, you have to decide to try to touch an extremely dangerous looking swirling mass of unstable magic. Something that is, objectively, a terrible idea

Like, the options it gives you are to either touch the sigil or leave, and if you leave you just... don't get Gale in the party

You have to take the risk. You have to let your curiosity override your common sense. You have to look at this unstable, possibly dangerous malfunctioning magic sigil and go "...Ok, but what if I poke it?"

In short, to get Gale in your party, you have to do exactly what he would in that situation, and indulge in a moment of reckless curiosity. And I just think that's delightful

The true Asian drama fandom experience is having a little laugh on here with your mutuals about something silly a show or actor did and then going over to twitter and realizing people are like. Actually mad about it and want them taken out back and shot

Kim Soleum (The Archivist): While avatar to the Eye, Soleum seems to have moderate control of his powers as the archivist while keeping The Eye sated with his search for Stories. He has some middle ground for most of the Entities despite his alignment being primarily The Eye. This could stem from Soleum being a bit of an easy snack for the Fears, getting a few tastes from him now and then due to his easily scared nature.

Mr. Host | Braun (The Host): An aspect of The Stranger, Mr. Host is one of the oldest avatars aligned to their Entity, making it difficult to ever truly know who he is or was. Shockingly enough, Mr. Host finds Soleum quite thrilling and intriguing due to his many facades. He sees great showmanship in his dear friend and wishes he had gotten to him before the pesky Eye had. In some ways, he finds Soleum quite threatening, as he was the only one to have ever found out about his 'real' name.

The relationship between these two avatars often leaves some Entities and their servants threatened and baffled, as it's like mixing water and oil. Most keep a mutual boundary from them to create less probability from happening to them later.
