A little part from my OC's lore, this is first photo of cult "Sisters of Ishtar", 1969

The leader of a cult (woman in orange) - Deborah Lúna (pseudonym) was described as obsessive, violent, agressive, yet charming person. Her obsession started when she met mysterious man on her trip to Greece. Deborah denies that she dated any man on her trip, instead, she says it was the first time she met "masculine spirit", which she references a lot in her works. Cult's practices were inspired by ideas of mesmerizm, yet heavily interpreted by Deborah.

Cult "Sisters of Ishtar" stopped its activity in 2004, after Deborah's dissapearance. Supposedly, she was killed, yet her body was not found.

Fic Rec Friday Monday

I missed this on Friday and there were so many good fic's last week I needed to highlight them.

rewrite (an ending or two) - Deleted and alternate scenes from a safe place to land, a hopeful stranger, kiss from the lips of a monster, and/or October/November: Interlude by my fantastic friend @two-birds-alone-together.

Parallel Lines - A sequel to the lovely Snowqueen of Texas by @hypnotisedfireflies about our favorite repressed smugglers, Tess/Joel, in a modern setting with no outbreak.

the sun’s probably shining in wyoming - Mature - Tess lives. She and Joel build a life in Jackson. A day in each season over the course of a year. This fic is written by none other than @march-flowerr for GTHB (Good Things Happen Bingo), and it has all the things you could possibly hope for in a fic: angst, fluff, hurt/comfort, smut, found family.

corals and kings - Ellie, Joel, and a collection of important late night sleepovers. Set in the in-between of Part 1 and Part 2. Ellie's dealing with her feelings about Joel's lie and what they mean to each other. It's beautiful, and it's written by my first Tumblr bestie, @ciaconnaa.

Eat Your Young - Joel stumbles into Ellie five years earlier while he's still a hunter with Tommy. It changes everything, and nothing, about their story. This exciting concept fic is ongoing and has me in a chokehold, written by blue_calico on AO3.

Dinosaur - Joel and Ellie deal with some stupid cold temperatures and assorted shenanigans (the not-fun kind) in and around the town of…Dinosaur, CO. Their adventures have continued on from Dinosaur and it's only gotten better and worse. Seriously love this fic written by @femmefacetious here on Tumblr.

Of Artists and Architects - Mature - A Cordyceps-Free Tessjoel AU Tess and Joel meet at the bar, where she bartends part-time while teaching art at a local college. Fun shenanigans ensue, with lots of angst, found family, smut, and fluff. I love this version of Joel/Tess, and every time @oliviassunrise updates, it has me running.

Even More Neighborhood Interactions!

We’re doing this again. No I won’t stop. There’s always more. And I was inspired cause I read all the fun facts on the Welcome Home fanwiki!

Marnie: She’s probably the third best cook in home. Her favorite dish is microwaved popcorn with caramel. Marnie gets all her sweaters from Poppy, and in turn, she plays gentle piano music for her. She gets really annoyed really fast when people misdate music on purpose and has punched Grover at least twice because of this. Her voice is similar to Nancy Sinatra’s. Her favorite modern song would be “Snowqueen of Texas” by The Mamas & The Papa’s. She has built a lot of the benches around Home and makes little shelters above them. Marnie constantly offers to build a house for Grover by his fence, but he is adamant that he doesn’t need or want it. Marnie is constantly researching music and is often traveling for conferences. She has invented an instrument of her own! Only she can play it. It’s a terrible mix between a harp and an oboe. Imagine as you should.

Grover: He exclusively eats beans, pumpkin flavored things, and sticks. If you gave him a chili cheese dog he would not refuse it, however. Grover makes little corn husk dolls and leaves them on the fences around Home during the fall. His love language is gift giving and quality time. There’s only so much time to spend, and especially making him a homemade gift. He has the filthiest mouth, swears constantly it’s insane. At this point it’s no wonder he’s never in any episodes. Grover gives Jonesy rides on his shoulders. He loves to sew and would probably be good at macrame and finger knitting if he spent enough time on it. His favorite method to scare birds is loudly singing at them. Just little folksy tunes he’s picked up. If you hear him playing banjo in the middle of the night, he’s really sad. Grover smokes little pieces of straw. He has a southern accent, maybe slightly Appalachian. He can pick up Deirdre very easily to combat her “when pigs fly” response. He will throw her again.

Deirdre: She has a room in the attic of her schoolhouse. Her classroom is on the lower floor, the little rooms for her students on the second floor, and she has a small living space on top. Deirdre is very finicky about the way things are organized, her preferred method being by date, and if not applicable, by size. She only swears when extremely scared, usually by Grover. Deirdre has several sisters, and is the oldest of them. She likes cornbread and hush puppies. She addresses her class as “little ones” She waters a lot of the flowers around the neighborhood. Her favorite song is “Sing Little Bird Sing” by The Left Banke. Marnie once upon a time taught her how to play the clarinet, but she quickly forgot and felt guilty about it. She carries a lot of the past on her back all the time. Deirdre stomps her hoof when she gets angry.

Jonesy: His favorite chess opening is the Trompowsky attack. He makes flower crowns with his female classmates after school sometimes. His voice is Toulouse from the Aristocats. Jonesy has a bit of a lisp. His fur is very curly and soft! He makes a squeak noise if you squish him. Jonesy’s family is actually quite affluent, it’s not everyday your parents have started their own Fruit Winery. He has a strong grip, but no weight to put behind it. So he often just gets stuck clinging upside to Howdy when he wants him to do something for him. Jonesy loves to run and play with everyone, even going as far as to wake Barnaby from a nap to play with him. When playing Chess against Home, he’ll lose sometimes but he’s gotten very close to winning. He’s fond of Paulette, but likes Howdy better.

Paulette: They’re definitely the only one who knows a second language, I think she learned French to better pronounce the names of his favorite astronomers and just kept it up and speaks French to herself sometimes. Paul definitely wears heels on the regular. They get tripped up over his words a lot, often resulting in tears. She wears his heart on their sleeve. Polly’s got autism and anxiety. They are trying to be better friends with Sally, but he keeps getting so messed up on words that Sally looses patience and leaves them alone. Paulette would take voice lessons with Marnie then sing “La Vie en Rose” to her and Marnie would be like “Oh, do you want to learn that song? I can find sheet music for you!” And then he starts crying. She, like Grover, has a bad habit of B&E, but only to invite people stargazing. He has gotten several shoes thrown at them. They are a bit younger than Howdy, but not by a whole lot. She loves pineapples, just fruity flavors in general. He has pockets full of glitter and will give it to people they like. She and Wally get along well, but he doesn’t not understand Paulette’s emotions. They sleep in a big nest of pillows and blankets and have glow in the dark stars on her ceiling, in the right constellations. He made Howdy help with it when they moved in.
