#shadow and eventide

[fandomsbyladymelodrama]

And also a new chapter up on S&E @salzrand <3

[queenoftheimps]

Had the absurd thought 'wouldn't it be funny if, in-universe, Todd in the Shadows did a video dissecting Lestat's music?' and then remembered that he's IRL friends with noted vampire expert Elisa Hansen/Maven of the Eventide

[wiliecoyotegenius]

Watching the Todd In The Shadows video debunking Somerton's claims and oh boy, Somerton claims that Europeans were suspicious of their neighbors of being vampires for being ''sexually deviant'' (bullshit) and also that Coppola "reconnected Dracula to Vlad Tepes"??? You mean, a connection that did not exist in the book??

Thankfully it gets immediately debunked in the video.

Somerton goes on to call the Coppola movie an "INCREDIBLY FAITHFUL RETELLING OF THE BOOK" like...... just preposterous.

Todd and Maven of the Eventide call him out on that part and point out that Mina was not "so horny" for Dracula.

Also Somerton: "Coppola created the first Dracula who fucks" *shows clip of Dracula assaulting Lucy*

Like we know you hate women as much as FFC does but damn.

Every now and then, the alien would get out of dense forests and nowhere towns to enjoy some city life. The chaos of the big cities somewhat reminded her of her time being a part of the hivemind, mainly because as part of Black Doom she heard the voices of all his different spawnlings. Having her own mind and thoughts proved to be both amazingly freeing and... incredibly lonely. She had swindled some bozo and gotten a wallet out of her manipulative antics. Getting away from trouble couldn't be easier, as she could just float away and blend into the night before anyone could ever notice her. A dark alleyway had become her hiding spot as she started to count the money. And then she felt a familiar presence nearby. It was very similar in a lot of ways, yet slightly different. Black Arms blood diluted into a hybrid, the scent of it bringing back many memories and complicated feelings. She was sure she was well hidden, though no doubt he would be able to sense her nearby eventually. Part of her was afraid, she knew that he could probably destroy her in her current state. But when else would she get such an opportunity to mess around with him?

<<Shadow, my flesh and blood... You didn't think you would be rid of me so easily, did you?>>

Her telepathy was definitely rusty, and try as she might she could not sound the same as Black Doom, but she tried her best to pull off a believable impression.

The more time passes, the more I realize how crazy it was that former CA/TGWTG producers would be expected (and in some cases are still expected) to put out fully scripted, fully edited, fully on-camera and in-depth 20-30 minute video essays/reviews, often at the same time and day every single week of the year, and often starting as a complete one-person labor of passion. If I heard that someone told Danny Gonzalez to do one of his DCOM videos every single week or else they'd purposely bury his channel, I wouldn't blame him for leading a full walkout on them either.

Dragon of Time - one of the largest dragons to be seen in the skies. It is said to be the oldest of its brothers, having been reported to exist in many eras, and was therefore named after its timelessness. Though some doubt whether it truly is a good dragon, for the sharp markings on its face and whitened eyes give off the impression of something dangerous

Wolf Dragon - named for its furry wolf-like appearance. It only breaks the cloud barrier at dusk and roams the night, it’s somber howl becoming a folklore for travellers in forests. Legends say that it was once a friend of the Twili, and it circles around the Arbiter’s Grounds every night

Warrior Dragon - named for the metal plating that covers its back, and for how it only seems to appear before soldiers of pure heart/soldiers down on their luck. It is said that seeing the Warrior Dragon will bless the person with strength and courage, and if a feather from one of its blue whiskers were to fall before a captain they would be ensured victory

Winged Dragon - the rarest of the dragons, for it favours staying above the clouds and roaming the islands in the sky. Unlike most other dragons, it is more bird like, being covered in crimson feathers and sprouting large wings. It’s red feathers sometimes fall to the surface, and if spotted by a romantic couple they are blessed with eternal love. Some researchers argue that the Winged Dragon is even older than the Dragon of Time

Fairy Dragon - this dragon is often seen floating above Fairy Fountains, and it is said that new fairies are born from this dragon’s scales. It too has wings, but these ones are shaped like a butterflies. Some ancient texts read that parts of fairy dragon can heal even the most fatal injury or sickness, and a great evil once sort out the dragon in order to revive their leader

Long-Eared Dragon - an unusually pink dragon, adorned with golden horns and claws and most notably long rabbit-like ears. It soars around the entirety of Hyrule, but more sightings of it have been recorded around Eventide Island than anywhere else. If you are lucky enough to get close to this dragon, there is a sense of great calm in the air around it, as if the spirit within once fought many hard battles and now roams the sky in peace

Wind Dragon - a brilliant blue dragon that is a popular legend amongst seafarers and fishermen. It roams the coastlines, and is even said to sometimes dwell under water as there are stories of large draconic shadows being spotted beneath boats. If you ever feel a sharp breeze steering your sail away from your destination, it is most likely the Wind Dragon warning you of danger. However, the Wind Dragon is also often blamed for dangerous storms

Rainbow Dragon - a remarkably smaller and yet colourful dragon with iridescent scales. It is said to harness the powers of wind, fire, water and the earth combined, making it quite difficult to approach. Legends spread amongst blacksmiths say that if one were to meld one of its scales to a weapon the weapon would become unbreakable, and in an age where smithing is becoming a lost art many pray that they’re lucky enough to see the dragon

Dragon of the Wild - perhaps the most commonly reported dragon, for some claim to have known the spirit that resides within. It flies low around the entirety of Hyrule, but will then also return to the skies to fly with the Light Dragon. Over recent years it has become a staple sight in Hyrule and stories of the dragons origins have been passed down from generation to generation. It has become a commonly worshipped symbol for adventurers and soldiers alike

Child of Eventide

Born a child of the House of Eventide, Tindomiel was forced to follow the path of the Priestess of the Moons, becoming powerful in ways the family hoped. What they did not intend, was for her to take it upon herself to learn to draw more fully on the Gloom, powerful dark magic that her people only used in moderation. She cast off Otorno’s light, drawing the shadows of the forest ‘round her. The pale blue of her eyes slipped to a violet as tendrils of Gloom sprouted from her skin. Even the pigments of her robes darkened, answering the call of the ancient powers. She has claimed her birthright as the Daughter of the House of Silverthorn, and is now guided by those who can teach her balance. Can she control it well enough to maintain her own sanity?

The Silverthorns are moving to a new world, away from WoW and into one born from the imaginations of TindomielSilverthorn and her husband Forosuul. So it was time to update her appearance and bring in some of the new lore.

I Want To Turn My House Into a Great City of Canals

I want to turn my house into a great city of canals. At eventide the gondolieri will transport my family and guests to and from the masquerade balls held every night in one of the eight great glass pyramids that mark the compass-points of the fair dominion, and the police will show up at the door and they will say, "Sir, we've had reports you've turned your home into a great city of canals. You realize this is illegal in a residential zone." And I will laugh--chortle, really--as I invite them to sit with me on my balcony overlooking the vast diamond-shaped Plaza Piscina, which depending on the temperament of the sky above, sparkles different shades of blue, ranging from inky indigo in the prelude of a storm to the purest sheen of a robin's egg on the most peaceful of spring days. On that day, I think, it will be in the precise median, the grayish yet morbidly beautiful hue of an iris that has wilted just to the threshold of putrescence. "Friends," I will say, "do not think it rude of me, please, but might I question the logic of rendering illegal the turning of one's home into a great city of canals in, of all places, a residential zone? Where else might you place such a great city--whose ports, I could add, teem with bustling trade from the furthest corners of the known world, and which even in the leanest plagueyears boasts a population of nearly ten thousand souls--but do tell me, constables, what might be a better place other than here, a residential zone, to host all that, not to mention our grand temple, the Great Ptomanon of the Corpse-God, which houses many hundreds of monks and pilgrims, and is where the Deep Angler Oblun Baga himself is said to stalk with his bulbous lantern through the otherwise lightless and forgotten reliquaries of its aqueous catacombs? Might you think these matters of faith, too, are inappropriate for a private residence?" This I will ask the visitors as my servants, their faces hidden behind masks of luxurious silk fashioned in the wild manner of varicolored vines and leaves, step forward to draw back adamantine chairs arranged around a black-and-white marble longtable set for a great but hitherto quite lonely dinner. And while my revelers call and sing below us, their voices only just masking the whispering, babbling streets on which they ride, their shadows cast in great distorted chimeras upon the agate walls of our city, the officers will take the proffered seats and kindly accept the light delicacies of caramelized adder-tongue and crisply breaded toad, oblivious to the fact that these are deadly necromantic agents to which I, of course, am quite immune, having built up a great tolerance to and even a certain… reliance upon them in the pursuit of my studies, as I sought and succeeded to turn my house into a great city of canals.

good ideas only come at night

1st page of "The Wandering Wayfinder", good ideas only come at night:

when eventide comes and the shadowed veil descends inspiration peeks starlight specks the skies constellations weave a grand tapestry of night in the dark they speak midnight tunes bring back to life dreams slain by the light

For the longest time, I've always thought that poetry = rhyme, and I never understood the appeal of non-rhyme poem forms, including haiku, and especially free verse.

But then, I started to get into rhythm games, and as my love for music grows, I began to work on several song translations as well. Through that, I've come to appreciate the process of "writing" lyrics and verses within the constraints of syllable/line/beat counts.

Besides poetry, I'm also quite interested in Japanese history, especially the Sengoku Jidai (thanks, Koei), hence my growing fascination for the Japanese poetry form, such as the haiku, tanka, and many others, which would be featured every now and then in this book.

"good ideas only come at night" actually started as a series of haiku writing practice, and they were mostly a disjointed description of summer sceneries. My favourite of those was the night time scenery (it's the second verse of this poem), so I decided to build more on that, especially since I had really fond memories of stargazing with my friends during my pre-work days.

Sandwiching this starlit scenery is the idea/theme that our creativity tends to be most active at night; indeed, I've come up with most of my best lines for my poetry during the night, just when I'm about to sleep.

Interestingly, I heard that in the medieval times, where people are not exposed to unnatural lighting, folks would sleep in two phases: go to bed at sundown, then wake up at around midnight to socialize and/or do chores for a few hours, before going back to bed until sunrise to do their main activities for the day. I wonder if this phenomenon is a reminder of our bodies' original sleep cycle before the dawn of electricity and other modern conveniences...

abide with me, fast falls the eventide the darkness deepens; lord, with me abide when other helpers fail and comforts flee help of the helpless, o abide with me

swift to its close ebbs out life's little day earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away change and decay in all around i see o thou who changest not, abide with me

i need thy presence every passing hour what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? who like thyself my guide and strength can be? through cloud and sunshine, o abide with me

i fear no foe with thee at hand to bless, ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? i triumph still, if thou abide with me

hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes shine through the gloom and point me to the skies heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee in life, in death, o lord, abide with me
