World Building - Culture and Language

Just had a random thought thinking about the Silver Millennium, ie Moon Kingdom.

When writing scenes in the past life, I wonder if I should refer it to the "Moon KINGdom" like normal present-day speech (proper English words...), or... "MOONdom" / "Moon QUEENdom"?

Was world-building even more for the past life lore and I was pulling in muses/inspiration from video games. In the Horizon series, thinking about how the Carja's kingdom is called the "Sundom"...

I kinda want to explore changing up some terminologies to help create a sense of difference in time and era. lol

Also, you know how both Moon and Earth have a proper name? Silver Millennium (Moon Kingdom) and the Golden Kingdom & Elysion as the capital? I kinda want to make fancy names for the other planet kingdoms too.

Like Silver Millennium sounds sooooo fancy and nice especially when it's two English words together to make a proper noun for Japanese people, but you're just slapping a colour and a word that means time together because these folks have a long life span?

What if Mercury's is something silly like Agua Machina for water element and machinery/technology prowess? LMAO

(Shit I'm getting more and more serious considering writing a past life story for EoT.)

🎊 Happy New Year! 🎊

To celebrate the Lunar New Year, year of the tiger, the Librarian has made a list of fics to go along with each of the Chinese zodiac. Some interpretations are literal, some less so, but hopefully all of them bring a smile or help you pass the day in cheer.

🧧 Wolfstar Chinese Zodiac Fics 🐯

🐅Forever Is a State of Mind -orphaned account 

Deaf Dance Choreographer, Remus Lupin, has a simple life. Working, taking care of his son, and running his YouTube sign channel. When he unwittingly becomes involved with Deaf Pride Activist, Fleamont Potter, he doesn’t realise how much his life will change. Especially after he meets YouTube star and makeup artist, Sirius Black.

🐇Sailor Moony AU Part 1 & Part 2 by @mlim8 & @whipbogard

So Moondom’s official mascot is a bunny 🐰! The kingdom is almost overrun with them (with how fast they breed lmaooo) and Remus is too shy to practice asking out the prince of his dreams with a real person so - The rabbit is a good substitute that won’t judge!!! 

🐉A Brief History of Dragons by @eyra

It's lovely up here; all meadows dotted with wildflowers, wind-beaten tracks criss-crossing this way and that through the fields, weaving inland to the pinewoods. The sun's hot on his back as he passes ramshackle stone walls, long since crumbled to piles of ancient rubble and scree, and then the path winds downwards, still following the line of the coast until Sirius finds himself outside an old white cottage, tucked away behind the hill with a rose garden that faces out to the sea. Sirius moves to Cornwall for the summer and meets a rude, beautiful boy who is writing a book that may or may not be about dragons.

🐍Beekeeping in the Daylight by @halictus-writer

Sirius is helping James and Lily conquer as many of their irrational fears as possible before they have their baby, in order to not pass on their fears. One day, Sirius takes a panic-stricken James to a friendly (and handsome) beekeeper. Slow burn, strangers to friends to lovers.

🐎AMOR VINCIT OMNIA (love conquers all) by @prettyremus

Remus, a servant boy to the cruel Emperor Voldemort, meets Sirius, a charming nobleman. Together they fight for freedom and love in Ancient Rome.

🐑Beneath a Big Blue Sky by @eyra

The four-by-four heaves its way down long, twisting lanes, little more than dirt tracks scuffed into the surrounding fields and hemmed in by serpentine walls of flat, grey stone. They truly are in the middle of nowhere: the countryside rushes past, all rolling green hills and vast, endless skies, and it's odious. Sirius wants to murder James with his bare hands. Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.

🐒How Remus Got His Groove Back by @theprongsletthatlived

After two years of noncommittal sex: Remus tells Sirius that he loves him. Sirius firmly rejects him. Remus tries to move on. Sirius is not happy. OR Remus Lupin becomes king of the cockroaches, Fabian Prewett writes a book, Gilderoy Lockhart is a catfish, and Sirius Black realizes he's a fucking idiot.

🐓Where Your Fingerprints Linger by @remuslives23

Sirius Black is a party planner and Remus Lupin is the stripper who has the audacity to turn up to one of Sirius' parties. Despite an immediate attraction, a misunderstanding means that they part on bad terms, but a meeting at a wedding leads to an agreement to share one night of passion. Just one night. Nothing more.

🐕Dog Filled Days Aren't Over by jlpierre

When post-breakup Sirius sends a photo of a dog from his new phone, he doesn't expect to send it to someone he doesn't know. Never mind someone named Moony.

🐖I love you like a pig loves not being bacon by @apieformydean Moony never reads the pick-up lines when Sirius can see him. He only ever read the first one he wrote him (‘Are you a hipster? Coz you make my hips stir.’) and he flushed to the tip of his ears. It was two months ago and Sirius writes him a crappy-sappy pick-up line every time he visits The Marauders. And Moony comes almost every day. aka ‘I write a bad pick-up line on your cup every time I’m your barista’ AU from somewhere around tumblr.

🐀 Animagi by @evandarandahalf He likes everything to do with his antlers at the minute. Sirius is pretty sure that if he could show that much enthusiasm for the rest of his form, he’d have the transformation down no problem. - The creation of Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs.

King Runaan of the Moonshadow Elves

This post will have several sections. They’ll be as follows.

Runaan is a king, and Rayla is his heir (this post)

Runaan had to confess his love first, because he is the king

Ethari’s entire skill set is now dedicated to keeping the king of the Moonshadow elves alive

Rayla's self-worth issues

Viren did invite the assassins just like he said Amaya accused him of. One assassin in particular

Aaravos and Viren may both want to spend Runaan in the future

1. Runaan is the king of the Moonshadow elves

Angst Rating: 1/10

This theory came to me with one specific image in mind, while talking theories with @kotikala​ yesterday. But it got anchored by two other things. Rayla’s grumpy face behind Runaan’s back in S1E2 when he called her the fastest and strongest of all of us, and the fact that Runaan has a 3D model with a post-battle torn vest, and another with no shirt. These three things. Plus a year and a half’s worth of theories--many of which I had lying around with no bigger picture in mind until last night--and rewatches. I feel simultaneously giddy and stupid as hell.

That one image was Runaan’s shoulder markings.

They are in fact like Aaravos’s crown shape, with a round moon instead of a second diamond,

but not because Runaan’s markings reference Aaravos. Because Runaan is royalty just like Aaravos.

This double diamond shape appears in Katolis, too, on the armor of the king’s army and even Callum’s scarf.

It’s also right there on top of Khessa’s crown, looking very similar to Runaan’s markings, with a round disc replacing one of the diamonds. In this case, it represents the sun instead of the moon.

Runaan doesn’t wear a crown anytime we see him. He might not have a crown at all, since he’s a warrior king who has “seen his share of hardship and war.” But he paints that symbol on his arms and wears his rank as king for everyone to see. He might never have had an older symbol on his arms at all, since he was born to this.

His face markings are the shadow of an assassin hood. He never needs to wear his because he’s internalized his duty so well. And he has probably had these markings since he was tiny, because there was never any question about his future.

Kings generally come with castles. This is Runaan’s castle. 

A thousand-year-old tree near the edge of the village. It was probably either planted or reshaped when the Moonshadows had to move eastward out of Katolis following the Merciful Compromise, and it’s been the royal dwelling ever since. Ah, tradition. This wasn’t Ethari’s home because it had space for a forge in it. It’s Runaan’s home, and his home is literally his castle. (How many levels does it have in there, and does anyone else live with them? I have such questions)

Moonshadow elves are forest elves at heart. Runaan lives in a tree, while his people live in ordinary houses. 

The tree house is the best and brightest home any of them could imagine. So Runaan’s tunic bears the symbol of a tree trunk on it. He is the stable trunk of his people, and they branch from him and the anchoring stability he provides. His tree tunic is his royal robes of office, marked with the symbol of his (literal and metaphoric) house.

The Moon Druid link has been pretty well theorized in general, if not in specific, before now, but here’s a summary: the Moon Druids of old used to live in Katolis’s forest, around the Moon Nexus. When the border was drawn 1000 years ago after the Merciful Compromise was suggested by the daughter of the Moonshadow ruler, the elves had to leave. They destroyed the Nexus, left a guardian, and settled/resettled in the Moonshadow Forest, reestablishing their rule in the east and taking up the dark and sacred duty of protecting Xadia from dangerous humans by assassinating them, so their merciful agreement to spare all the humans never brought disaster. 

When Runaan took his team back west, he performed the binding ceremony in an ancient grove with six trees and a moon-rune-shaped water border. It was his own people’s ancient grove.

The Moon Druids stood like this.

And so does Runaan.

His accent and Lujanne’s are the only two British voices among all the Scottish Moonshadows. One of them guards the Moon Nexus, where the Moon Druids used to live. The other is currently ruling from the Silvergrove.

The Silvergrove is the only place labeled in the Moonshadow forest. On a map, if you’re only going to have one city, you label the capital. I didn’t understand the relationship between the Silvergrove, the assassins, and the human kingdoms before. I thought it was a border village. But it’s deep in the forest, at its heart.

Runaan didn’t come to the Silvergrove to train to be an assassin. He was born there. The Silvergrove and the assassins were always the intimately connected. The Moon Druids became assassins to uphold their sacred duty. Wherever they live, that’s where the assassins train.

Runaan was once drawn younger in this outfit. It’s blurry but the white text reads “younger Runaan?”

It got morphed into someone else. But look at this dynamic. This is clearly a Moonshadow leader and his close ally—his son. His son the assassin.

The Moonshadow staff used to look like this a thousand years ago.

Then it got stabby.

Now it looks like this.

My heart for Xadia, indeed. That line might very well be reserved only for the ruler and his heir to swear.

Runaan’s bio says he “cares deeply for his people.” That means all of the Moonshadow elves. And he’s called, in full, Runaan of the Moonshadow Elves. That’s a title.

Rayla gave her name to Sol Regem in that format, too. Rayla of the Moonshadow Elves. Because Rayla is Runaan’s legal heir. He’s a gay elf and won’t be having his own kids. So he chose his best friends’ child to follow him in succession. He’s been training his own replacement since she could walk.

Rayla is the Moonshadow Princess and she has her own title.

I think part of the reason I didn’t see Runaan for the king he was, or even the prince I used to think he was, had to do with my assumptions that any Moonshadow ruler would preside over a community similar in setup to Khessa and Harrow. Big, obvious, powerful. Meant to be seen. But that’s not the Moonshadow way. Even though Runaan’s tree castle is literally all of those things. I just wasn’t speaking Moonshadow fluently enough yet.

Runaan’s rule, and the Moonshadows in general, really give me a Viking-era England feel. England was comprised of several small kingdoms before the time of Alfred the Great. They never covered too much territory, and they weren’t very centrally organized. You might get a handful of heavily walled towns, and if there was trouble, all the citizens outside the walls would scamper in for safety. (Imagine the Silvergrove’s moondome functioning like the dome over Wakanda’s capital city when Thanos’s minions attacked in Infinity War. Nice, huh?)

Runaan has that local-king feel. His position is a martial one. He leads from the front. He’s very focused on upholding his duty, not looking cool in furs and crowns or whatever. He either gave his own oath to the Dragon King and Queen, or he was already bound to a pre-existing oath, Oath of Féanor-style, and that promise rules his life. His life, but not his heart. So he lives in his quiet little village with his cute craftsman husband and all his people and his blood promise, and he trains with focused dedication to uphold his people’s honor with maximum efficiency and safety for his own assassins.

Things that hit differently now

Amaya hates Moonshadows the most because their king kills

Kings probably aren’t good cooks

Why no one spoke against Runaan when he said a teenager was coming on his mission

Of course they used the pool outside the tree house for the lotus ritual. That’s the royal pool outside the royal palace.

Of course Runaan had to ghost his friends. They were assassins, and he was their leader and king. He had to lead the ghosting.

Duty before love makes so much more tragic sense now

Literally yesterday I posted about Runaan’s biological legacy not being called into question regarding Rayla’s parents’ failure. But she is his heir, so his wisdom was being questioned.

“When Someone Great is Gone” from Devon’s Runaan/Ethari playlist

Runaan and Harrow are both kings bound by literal and metaphorical chains. Neither is free

“Justice will not be denied/Your justice will come later/Humans are liars”

“My heart for Xadia”

“You let him live, but you’ve killed us all”

Basically every word Runaan has ever said

"Maybe he didn't see my face very well?"

I made this all because I fell in love with “The Angel Dress” by Linda Friesen 😇 --- and wanted Remus to wear the wings (the tulle-ish material for the gown is represented in the little cape behind him uwu)

So Moondom’s official mascot is a bunny 🐰! The kingdom is almost overrun with them (with how fast they breed lmaooo) and Remus is too shy to practice asking out the prince of his dreams with a real person so - The rabbit is a good substitute that won’t judge!!! 🐇 That bunny also has thick eyebrows like Sirius so - 😂😂😂

[2121gameproject]

4)

Emlékszem, amikor fiatal voltam, hogyan töltöttük az időt a többiekkel. Ahogy a beszélgetésüket figyelem, ugyanaz a melankolikus nosztalgia tölt el, mint amikor Anna régi képeit nézem az otthonomban.

Tele van a ház a gyerekkori barátságunk relikviáival.

- szobára kapcs. tárgyakra katt., hozzá szövegopciók -

- Christopher/Ash/Chris? - néz rám kérdően Adam. Biztosan mélyen elbambulhattam.

- Bocsánat. - mormogom, s próbálom összeszedni a gondolataimat. Anna mindig transzba repít. Éppen, ahogyan régen olyan boldoggá tett. Amiért mindent megtettem, s amiért még mindig itt vagyok. Nélküle. Sóhajtok.

- Sápadtnak tűnsz. - néz rám érdeklődve a lány.

A szemét kutatom zavartan, annyira szemérmetlenül bámul, értelmét nem látom. Egy pillanat zavar után visszafordulok Adamre.

- Eszembe jutott valami. - vetem oda kurtán.

- Ki vele! - lelkesedik Rianne. Mosolyog, s beleiszik a poharába.

- Nem könnyű parancsra - és nem is tudnám, mit mondhatnék.

- Szülők? - kérdezi Adam együttérző mosollyal.

- Már vagy száz éve nem láttam a szüleimet - sóhajtom a kommunikációs zavartól szenvedő hangon.

- Bárcsak. - mosolyog együttérzően Adam.

- Ha nem laknék velük, én is ezt mondanám. Inkább, mint hogy kérdésekre kelljen válaszolnom. Beszéljünk inkább magunkról, Adam, mi vagyunk létszámfölényben. - mosolyog Rianne.

- Leköteleznétek. - mondom némileg szórakozottan.

- Rianne mindig tudja, mit kell mondani... Ááá! Kutya.

- Settie!!!! - ujjong a lány is.

- insert kutya kép single ver -

- Settie a neve? - kérdezem, a szép, valószínűleg iszonyatosan ritka kék szemű kutyát bámulva. Gyanúsan kék éteri szeme okosan kapcsolódik össze a tekintetemmel. Hát erről van szó. - Kit is kísér ez a kutya?

- Furcsa egy megfogalmazás. - jegyzi meg a lány.

- XY kutyája, a kocsma hozzá tartozik.

- Á... Kíváncsi vagyok, milyen lehet egy ilyen szép kutya gazdája. - mosolygok, s próbálom elrejteni a nyelvbotlásom okozta zavaromat.

--- az a kutya egy elhunyt követőszellem ---

- De bizony ideje lenne már aludni. - simogatja Rianne a kutyát.

- Egyetértek, holnap korán kelünk, nemigaz? - mosolyog Adam a lányra, majd rám néz. - Hosszú napunk lesz.

- Igen? - kérdezek vissza, a túlzott kutakodás nem az asztalom, mint az új gyerekeknek.

- Egy projekten dolgozunk az egyetemre. De van egy srác, aki jóbarátunk, ő van igazán otthon ezekben a dolgokban. - világosít fel Rianne.

- Ez igaz, de persze legyen jó napja. - veti oda cinkos mosolyt rejtő hanggal Adam.

- Fontos, hogy legyen jó napja... - ért egyet a lány, s mintha egy enyhe poszttraumás depresszió jeleit venném ki a hangjából, ahogy maga elé mered.

- Nem lesz gond, ha Kay be is ugrik, nem lesz gond! - vigyorog Adam.

- Ne is mondd!! Kaydin épp elég! - fogja a fejét a lány, s teljes mértékben elvesztem.

- Kay, Kaydin? Hova tegyem ezt? - kérdezem, bár inkább magamnak beszélek...

- Szép lassan mindenkit bemutatunk, ha van kedved máskor is beugrani. - invitál Adam, mire Rianne bólogat.

- Ez a törzshelyünk. - mosolyog.

a) Lehet róla szó. - mondom kissé pozitívabb hanghordozással.

b) Beugrom, ha úgy alakul. - moondom, majd egy pár másodperc után felkelek a székből.

c) Kösz, meglátom majd. - vetem oda.

Adam felkel a székből és kezet fog velem. Rianne mosolyog a székében ülve.

- Még találkozunk! - mosolyog rám.
