Raven Halfmoon’s (Caddo Nation) stoneware sculptures embrace the monumental. The artist, whose first major solo exhibition, Raven Halfmoon: Flags of Our Mothers, opened on June 25 at The Aldrich Contemporary in Connecticut, situates her work within the canon of Caddo culture and production.

The show encompasses themes of power and Indigenous identity and perspective, and makes space for the stories of Indigenous women.

prompt: meet me at midnight

“If I were a character in one of your books, who do you suppose I would be?”

Draco roamed the fire-lit room, running his fingers over burgundy and sage spines with silver and golden letters that reflected the flick of the flames.

Hermione lowered her novel to her blanket-covered thighs, chewing her lower lip. “Hm… The cruel prince, perhaps, cursed for his wickedness. Given a year and a day to find the love of his life to undo the spell.”

“Rather drab, isn’t it? Expecting a man to fall in love to repent his sins. What if he were to donate a fair amount of his fortune to charity? Or devote his time to brewing potions that cure deadly diseases?”

She shot him an affectionate look, though he was facing away from her and couldn’t see it. “Who do you think you’d be, then?”

He made a soft deliberating noise. “A romantic hero.”

She burst into laughter.

Draco tossed an irritated look over his shoulder, lips quirking. “I’m rather romantic, thank you very much.”

“Rather,” she confirmed, sitting taller and wrapping her arms around her knees. “Please go on, my romantic hero.”

“Yours then?” He lifted a brow, though they both knew he’d never truly belong to anyone else. “I’d be the sort who’s unliked by most. Underestimated always. I would lurk in the shadows and commit petty crimes for the fun of it. But also slip notes to the healer’s daughter, asking her to meet me at midnight so we can run away together.”

“And pray tell, where would you take her?”

He sat at the end of the spacious sofa, tugging her calf until she stretched her legs over his lap. His hand slipped beneath the blanket, thumb tracing a halfmoon over her bare kneecap.

“Anywhere she wanted to go,” he decided in a velvety voice. “I’m a romantic hero, remember? I care only for my runaway girl.”

“But she loves his ambition the best. The last thing she wants is a quiet life in the countryside. Or else she would have married her childhood sweetheart and had ten children on a duck farm.”

Draco wrinkled his nose.

“I’d make a fine prince, I suppose. Though not a cruel one.”

“No?”

He shook his head. “A rebel prince, but not the heir. A devilish spare. So I could marry the bookish maiden who rescues kittens from rainstorms and hands out loaves of bread to hungry children.”

“Not very rebellious of you. She sounds like a saint.”

“There’s a twist.”

“Isn’t there always?” Hermione was grinning widely now.

“She’s cursed, you see.”

“Oh dear.”

“She becomes a monster at night. Grows ravenous and eats his favourite pudding and demands he shag her until he can’t feel his bones.” He shot a pointed look at the lux cauldron cakes spread out on the rustic coffee table, more than half devoured alongside a pint of sparkling lemon cordial.

“Our poor prince.” She tutted, kicking his thigh with a mock-derisive look. “Perhaps she leaves him then. When he’s boneless and his pantry empty.”

“One would think…” He released her leg, encircling her wrist instead and coaxing her onto his lap. “But she loves him terribly.” His eyes grew soft, shining nearly as bright as the gilded storybooks encompassing them. “And he’s an ambitious bloke, remember?”

“Ambitious and romantic.”

He hummed in agreement, gaze dropping to her mouth. “He would do anything, give anything for her.”

“Anything?” she breathed, curling a lock of blond hair around her finger dotingly.

“He’d be anything for her,” he resumed, leaning into her touch. “The hero in every novel, or the villain if she wishes. The prince, the rebel, the romantic.”

The distinct, melodious chime of the antique grandfather clock resounded around them.

Twelve bold strikes as her prince, rebel, romantic spilled kisses over her like adventures on a page, one for every possibility, and one for the simple truth.

Signal #56424467 and Noise.

Green eyes peer over halfmoon glasses as you enter the foyer of the Mortuary. The shadow-y Coatl robed in dark red and black behind the counter looks up and sing-songs a greeting, "Hello, I'm Signal, xe/they." Gesturing to the corvid on their shoulder xe adds "This is my familiar Noise, he/it". You note the large green eye set in its chest, and realise it is a Death Seeker— that might have been expected, they're common in such business'. "You wanted a quick lesson on spirits? Well, I'll try to condense it a little for you...

[image: A male-pose Coatl with Shadow Skink, Blush Shimmer, and Pearl Runes genes, wearing Advisor Rings, Darksteel Halfmoon Spectacles, Raven Woodguard, Psion Overcoat, Helpful Healer's Calling, Conjurer's Herb Pouch, and Rose Gold Steampunk Tail Bauble. Also wearing Accent: Friends from Within. To their right is a Death Seeker familiar, a purple-black raven with a green eye set in its chest. The background is scene: ghostlight ruins. /end id]

Dance Clubs Cannupa Hanska Luger, 2022 6 ceramic and walnut objects with synthetic hair, fuel hose, synthetic sinew and vermillion ink Photo by @garthgreenangallery

Dance Clubs is a series of objects designed to be held in ones hand for a performance which is never to be activated.

Comprised of gas pumps slip cast in ceramic, coated with a brilliant orange ink, intended to stain ones hand if touched. The visual language is based on Indigenous war clubs of my ancestors - the ceramic and hand carved wooden clubs mirror the ingenuity in creating new technology - These objects transpose power of one idea into another, they are artifacts of necessary behavior shifts and a warning for humanity to pivot from our current actions if we are to survive as a species.

Now on view for BELONGING: Contemporary Native Ceramics from the Southern Plains now at the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts, Texas through March 23, 2024. Participating Artists: Karita Coffey (Comanche), Chase Kahwinhut Earles (Caddo), Anita Fields (Osage/Muscogee), Raven Halfmoon (Caddo/Choctaw/Delaware), Cannupa Hanska Luger (Mandan/Hidatsa/Arikara/Lakota), Jane Osti (Cherokee National Treasure), Cortney YellowHorse-Metzger (Osage)

“This exhibit spotlights the diversity of contemporary ceramics practices among Native American artists in the region, and their reflections on belonging based in particular cultural roots, ancestral connections, personal insights, and individual experiences. Curating selected works from eight Native artists, this show incorporates a range of artistic practices from futuristic and customary works based on vessel forms, to more experimental practices that push clay in new directions through multi-media installation and performance.”

Baseline Request Sheet

You can ask for characters from Warrior cats and Wings of Fire (none after the second arc; haven’t finished it yet)

Kit/Hatchling designs for any pairing won’t be done unless I already have the parents drawn. Any asks for pairing I’ve never done will be deleted but you can request the parents if I have spots open!!

I may just do headshots or basic poses, sometimes more interesting poses. Depend purely on how I’m feeling. Any hypokits can be drawn but please credit me and tag so I can see them!

No uncomfortable pairings. This includes:

-Mentor x Apprentice

-Cousin x Cousin or any variation of inbreeding

-Adopted Siblings getting together

-Problematic age gaps like Leopardfoot x Pinestar, Thornclaw x Blossomfall, or Crowfeather x Harestar if in a romantic context

(In cases like LeopardPine i only accept it as a siring situation, they weren’t together but wanted a litter together. Specify if applied please or else I won’t do whatever is suggested)

-Explicitly gross or abusive relationships like Raggedstar x Yellowfang, Mistystar x Blackclaw, Frogleap x Leopardstar in a Romantic Context

I will draw their canon kits but no extra litters

For Poly requests keep the parents to a limit of 4 so I can make the offspring work. You can specify that the kits are purely from two parties but raised by them all. For example FireRaven kits who are raised by Fire, Raven and Sand. This can help me make the kits characters better.

If I’ve done a pairing before I may do it again depending on the characters so just ask! If I’m not feeling it you can always request different ones <3

I love when ppl explain why they like the character they requested or a few personal hc’s for them so don’t worry about long asks. Over explaining is my life and I love to hear ppl enjoy characters a lot!

While I may not love some pairings I can understand why ppl do so any extra details of why you think they work helps me make the non canon offspring!

Will Not Do List:

(Any pairings on this list are barred)

-Thistleclaw x Spottedleaf

-Crowfeather x Harestar

-Leopardfoot x Pinestar

-Lionblaze x Ashfur

Ecco la lista degli articoli pubblicati nell’ultima settimana. OPERE “Dentro de mim” by Helena Almeida “Hey-en, Ina, Ika” by Raven Halfmoon “…Ricapitolando

[graysondanes]

[ joe manganiello | pronouns | age ]  rumor has it that grayson danes has been seen wandering around town. they are a werewolf who is one of the survivors. they are known to be quicktempered but deep down they are loyal. when it comes to the brewing conflict in new orleans they’re on the side of resistance.

basics

physical

hair color:  Brunette

eye color:  brown

height: 6″5′

weight: 236 lbs

- Grayson is the alpha of the California pack of werewolves and is a prominent alpha in the West Coast, handling wolves from Washington to Southern California. He doesn’t have a lot of family (tbd) but his pack has been his family, and he took over his position as alpha from his father who passed away almost 20 years ago. 

 - He met Cordelia when she was looking at Med Schools in California where is pack was. They hit it off pretty immediately but because they weren’t living in the same place, they just kept in touch by talking to each other and messaging each other whenever they could. Eventually, they took trips out to see each other as often as they could, and they officially became a couple. Grayson fell hard for Corey, but they were surprised a few years into their relationship when she had their first daughter Raven. 

- While a complete surprise, Corey ended up moving to California so that their family could be together and everything was great - They got married, and Grayson took over his father’s position as the alpha of his pack, and they added to their family when Aria was born. He loved being a dad and husband more than anything and he spent as much time as possible with his girls. 

- Two years ago, an uprising happened in the pack where one of his packmates had gained support of a few others making a case that he should be alpha instead of Grayson, taking advantage of the fact that some people didn’t like that Grayson was married to a witch, and that his daughters were hybrids. Grayson was able to hear about it in time for him to send Corey and the girls away, staying behind to deal with the aftermath. He was killed in a fight where he was ambushed by six members of his pack, but thankfully Corey, Raven and Aria were able to escape and get to New Orleans. 

 - He’s back in New Orleans now after being on the other side for two years, just wanting to have his family back.

𝘾𝙇𝘼𝙔 𝙋𝙊𝙋, curated by @aliajessenia is on view in New York through October 30th! The exhibition documents the reinvention of ceramic sculpture by a new generation of artists. A medium that has often been characterized as more craft than art is now an exciting platform for formal and conceptual innovation, adding a new dimension to Pop Art.

Paralleling current concerns in painting, many of the artists featured in 𝘾𝙇𝘼𝙔 𝙋𝙊𝙋 are also exploring issues of gender, race and identity, using clay in new ways to engage with social issues. Artists are using the medium to create a personal narrative. Clay is being pushed beyond the confines of craft and design.

The participating artists are:

Diana Yesenia Alvarado Alex Anderson Trisha Baga Alex Becerra Genesis Belanger Seth Bogart Chen Nien Ying Woody De Othello Sharif Farrag Ryan Flores Dominique Fung Melvino Garretti Raven Halfmoon Kahlil Robert Irving Elizabeth Jaeger Devin B.

Raven Halfmoon

[blaxkrosethorn]

Connor’s best friend.

Well. One shot time ig.

Pairing: Haytham Kenway, Temptation Nevadah(my oc), Hailey Nevadah. (Temptation’s daughter, is half vampire.)

Genre: fluff, I think. Slight AU.

Parts: (1/?) gee idk. If you want me to keep this going lmk and I will.

3rd POV.

Temptation flew through the trees, easily dodging branches and birds. Her red and white assassins dress hugged her body nicely and her cloak fluttered behind her. She stopped and perched on a branch as she heard voices. Temptation pulled up her hood to conceal her face and bright red hair. Her naturally tanned skin glinted beautifully in the small patches of sunlight that shone through the leaves of the tree she sat perched on.

She saw two raven haired men, one of which she recognized as Connor Kenway, her best friend. He was also her childhood friend, having grown up in the same tribe. She left the tribes a year before him though, and trained with a few others to become an assassin. The two stopped to rest for a moment, standing under her tree and conversing casually. She uses this as her time to strike.

With a huff, Temptation hops onto a lower branch and hooks her black boots under a piece of the beach before swinging downwards and hanging upside down, surprising both men. “Bark!” She called out, her hazel green eyes glinting playfully and boring right into Connor’s grayish brown orbs. “Testa Rossa!” Connor yells, excitement coating his tone. “D’ya miss me?” She asks with a small smile. “Of course.” Connor replies, removing her hood and playing with her red hair. “Whose the look alike?” Temptation asks. “Oh! Temp, this is my father. Haytham, this is my childhood friend Temptation.” Connor says as Temptation flops out of the tree and lands on her feet skillfully. “Haytham Kenway..” Connor’s look alike introduces, and Temptation smiles politely, holding her hand out so he could shake it. “Temptation Nevadah. Pleasure.” She says, a small blush reaching her cheeks as Haytham takes her hand and kisses the knuckles.

Three people descend from the trees above, one of them holding a small three year old little girl who looked like Temptation. “HalfMoon was getting cranky. Wanted mom.” A man says, handing the little girl over to Temptation. “HalfMoon?” Connor questions as Temptation holds the little girl delicately. “Her tribal name.” Temptation answers. “Connor, meet my daughter; Hailey.” Temptation says, gesturing to the little raven haired girl. “Did you shit her out? The only thing different is her hair!” Connor exclaims, and the little girl flinches, burying her face into her mother’s neck. “She’s been through allot..” Temptation says quietly, stroking Hailey’s long black hair lovingly.

“Awe.. it’s okay. I’ll be like her big brother!” Connor says, and Temptation grins when Hailey giggles. Hailey holds out her palm, and Connor leans forward, allowing her to lay it on his cheek. A few moments later he gasps and moves away with a blush on his cheeks. “What’d she show you?” Temptation asked softly. “M-my soulmate..” Connor stuttered. “Wait, how’d she do that?” Connor asked. Temptation smirked. “Haytham, would you like her to show you something?” Temptation asks. Haytham nods before stepping forward hesitantly. Hailey places her hand on Haytham’s and Temptation’s cheeks at the same time, showing them both something they didn’t expect.

Haytham and Temptation were soulmates.
