bit of a rant re: that one post about terminology: my biggest pet peeve about it is that it is had made it absolutely impossible to find the kind of stuff I used to come to tumblr for back in 2012. I'm dragonkin and nearly 40. I've known I was 'kin since before the year 2000. i used to be able to follow a couple of kin tags and find art, poetry, and essays on the things we all have in common. once in awhile there would be music. Now all I seem to see is people arguing about who's allowed to use what term, who is 'valid,' and people splitting hairs to the finest down on microlabels. I am, in my head and in an experience sort of way, a big reptile who flies and hunts and, frankly, isn't very bright. I have not really kept up with terms in the past decade because it seems like every time I look, the words mean different things, and I cannot be bothered to follow all that. none of it changes the way I feel my scales or how there is a part of my brain devoted to tracking good hides and good takeoff locations. none of it changes the fact that I have to make rent with a brain that wants to be tracking air currents and chasing small game. And none of it changes how delighted I am every time I eat a good piece of fruit or a slab of chocolate with an omnivore's ability to digest plant matter. obligate carnivores can't enjoy sugar the way my human body does. it's great.
a moose and a tuna are very different creatures, but they would both complain about orcas and sharks in their feeding grounds. someone who is a pterosaur and someone who is an angel can both talk about missing the feel of air beneath their wings. a mantis shrimp and an alien and a bat can all talk about how light looks through human eyes. someone who is a little bit of a werewolf sometimes and someone who is 100% a housecat all the time will probably both be able to talk about managing prey drive. I miss having places on the internet where we could talk about shared experience in this way. I couldn't care less what words people use to argue about how different they are. we are all using human hardware to run incongruous beings. Two bog-standard human siblings who grew up in the same home will argue that the same scene in a movie shows different things. everyone's different. there's always gonna be some way to split yourself off from the group.
I just miss being able to find solidarity with fellow Internet Weirdoes (affectionate). if you only share your stuff with your micro-group you're going to miss out on all the others who you could be talking to who may understand, at least in part, what you're going through.
and most of all, I miss the art.
Yeah, I feel that. I feel that.

I took notes while I listened to the audiobook of Sunrise on the Reaping. Here they are.
Spoilers obviously
Ch 1 -
* Haymitch has similar to Gale. Their moms are very similar
* Katniss didn’t have a single thought that it could be her or Prim in the games. Haymitvh adds the caveat to his plans that he could be going in
* Haymitch goes out of the fence too
* I always wondered how they were getting “white liquor”
* Haymitch’s mom knows and collects on his illegal jobs
* Crying that this is how Haymitch became an alcoholic
* Abernathy’s were always rebels
* She’s a covey!!!
* Is… is that Katniss’s dad?? Birdick (Burdic?)
* Is Katniss’s dad covey???
* Everdeen cousins? So maybe not
* L.D is gonna die partially because of Haymitch but also because she herself is rebellious and a problem
* L.D is from L.G’s linage
* First gay character in Hunger Games series
* Punishment for not dressing well enough in the reaping
* I would put money on his little brother getting reaped. He isn’t old enough right now
* Astrid March!!! Katniss’s mom!
* Astrid and Birdic…. I’m crying
* Information about their currency!! Scrip only good in capital approved stores
* Music!! Anthem!! Propaganda!
* Drucilla wishes she could be Effie
* It doesn’t matter if she is wealthy by district standards. She is still district. She is still nothing to the capital
* Haymitch wasn’t originally reaped. I didn’t see that coming
Ch 2 -
* Peeta’s dad… more crying
* Oh my god… Haymitch was never reaped at all
* Very flippant murder “just shoot her”
* Plutarch! Is he already a rebel?
* “It’s too long” …. Are the reaping rigged?
* Rebellion didn’t start at 74. It was always there.
* Offering alcohol then recanting it because he’s a child. Too young to drink but old enough to die
* Drucilla is literally disgusted. The capital considered them animals
* L.D didn’t get to see goodbye
* Maysilee telling her dad not to pay for her freedom
* “Lost this privilege” fuck this is brutal
* I still don’t know how I feel about Plutarch
* Ma putting aside any pride to just have a second with Haymitch
* Sid is just like Prim…
* I wonder at what point the train became a luxurious experience for tributes
Ch 3-
* Willa Mae … unsung mom
* Covey got incorporated by killing adults and keeping the kids. How much of their culture were lost?
* Pick up? They used to have cars. Where did they all go?
* L.D knows in her bones there are people outside of Panem. Where are they? Why have they left Panem to their own brutality?
* Bean and ham hock soup for mourning
* Haymitch doesn’t even consider that he could win. He’s just mourning his loss.
* “My kin” Haymitch speaks like an Appalachian
* I need to check on Lucilla, I’m all she has left. Protector
* Sweetheart … crying
* Strategic immediately
* First mention of fertility in the distracts. Loss of Haymitch’s twin sisters
* Maysilee came in swinging. I love that her weapon is being a mean girl. No one is immune to her shaming them.
* Chiggers. This boy is Appalachian as fuck
* The attendant can talk
* Who are their mentors since they don’t have any victors? Plutarch?
* Haymitch’s illegal dealings makes him strong. Like Katniss.
* Victors from other districts??? Other district contact??? Wild
* Plutarch is a very good “yes man”
* Damn I kinda love Maysilee’s quips
* He’s indulge me right into the arena. Bread and circuses
Ch 4-
* Solidarity in not eating the cake. I want to know what they were all thinking
* Mean Girl Maysilee strikes again
* Drucilla actually hit her. That’s insane. And Maysilee took no shit
* Fuck dude… Maysilee held no punches
* Drucilla alluding to life being worse if Maysilee won. The Finnick treatment probably
* Haymitch knows about the lake and the house
* The mockingjay pin was Maysilee’s… and there is a twin of it somewhere in the world
* Booker Boy…. Pariah
* Jeep? So they do have cars?
* So district 1 is chained? And broke the window. Are they rebellious?
* Wyatt was listening
Ch 5-
* How did Wyatt and May feel listening to Haymitch and Lucilla write them off before they even get to the capital
* Maysilee even fat shamed Drucilla
* Capital children
* I’m surprised they let the tributes even see each other
* Showering together is strange. It humiliates them
* The prep team are students. They’re kids like him. And they talk like kids. As if he’s a project.
* Insecticide to get rid of body hair
* L.D is a rebel burning the flag, sabotaging a hanging
* L.D can be rebellious because she has “nothing” to lose
* I already know what’s gonna happen to Maysilee. But damn I wish she’d lived. She reminds me of Johanna
* Why is Magno obscessed with reptiles?
* Is 12 treated this badly intentionally because of Lucy Gray?
* Haymitch is a really good protector and comforter… it’s not gonna matter. I’m going to be very sad when Lucilla dies
* These pre games pageantry is a mess
* Fuck dude Lucella died before she even got to the games. Are they going to replace her?
Ch 6-
* This is all happening in public
* What a disaster… no wonder Katniss and Peeta hadn’t seen the footage from these games
* Silca is going to be the final show down with Haymitch
* Snow is looking at him. And sees Lucy Gray
* Someone will knock you off it, straight into your grave
* Haymitch presenting Luella and clapping is just like Katniss shooting the apple out of the pigs out and hanging Seneca Crane
* Urchin lol what a lame name
* Wyatt is coping so hard
* People still feel joy when they have children… Lucella’s dad
* Tributes being chained up but allowed to talk to each other is jarring
* Try that buddy…. Haymitch is a older brother through and through
* OH MY GOD WIRESS
* The capital thinks she’s creepy and unnerving! Yay!!!
* And Mags!!!! Oh my fucking god
* And now we’re all crying
Ch 7-
* Did Mags know about the soup?
* Have Mags mentored for 12 before?
* Maysilee doesn’t like being a twin and matching her sister. But I get the sense that Marilee does like it
* Haymitch wants to make a statement. That’s more than Katniss ever did
* The goal isn’t even to win. It’s to make a statement
* Wiress might be autistic (?)
* There’s more of you then there are of them
* Plutarch might be a rebel? Asking “why didn’t you”
Ch 8-
* Why is Plutarch having this conversation in public?
* No oh my god… Beetee’s son is Amphert
* God damn he just comes right out and says it. That his son is in the games because he is being punished.
* This clicks together a lot as to how people got started in the rebellion
* Beetee won 16 years ago
* It makes me wonder if Haymitch makes fun of them “Nuts and Volts” to protect them or if he’s mad at them for something
* This is going to be so bloody and gruesome… this big alliance is going to fall apart so hard. We know from Catching Fire, that this doesn’t hold strong
Ch 9-
* I don’t think Lenore is going to be killed. She’s going to become an Avox for her own rebelliousness and to punish Haymitch
* President Snow is already ill from poisoning…. Almost more ill
* I wonder if this is intentional?
* Ahahahahahhahaah I can’t believe Haymitch drank the milk
* Songbirds and Snakes
* I know it’s Snow projecting but I can feel myself in Haymitch’s shoes squirming
* Spelled it right out for him. Your behavior has guaranteed that
* What?! Luella?! WHAT
* Who is this child that they’ve surgically changed to look like Luella???
Ch 10-
* Ahhhhhh she’s programmed and parroting
* Maysilee immediately goes into making her an object. A thing.
* Mags immediately treats her like a person
* Mags and Wiress clock where she’s from quickly
* AHHHHHH the canary
* Device in her chest?! Oh my god…. I feel like the horror is so much more in your face in this book
* Crying over the bread from 11
* This feels like a set up to a failed first rebellion
* But I love that Beetee was already team rebellion before we even meet him
Ch 11-
* Suzanne put a lot more intention into how the games work mechanically
* I love Amphert…. I am so fucking sad for Beetee
* New theory, Haymitch backs out of trying to destroy the machine to save his family and Lenore
* Transmitter… constant drugs… she’s a dummy bot
* The capital didn’t learn their fucking lesson with the JabberJays
* Knowing that Maysilee and Haymitch become allies in the arena later is making my stomach churn. What the fuck happened to make them not allies when they start?
* Why not lady? You are
* I knew he was going to get a 1. The punk thing wasn’t gonna pan out
Ch 12-
* Lou Lou’s presence is fucking painful
* I kinda like Wyatt…. Math don’t lie
* Maysilee and Drucilla have the same antagonistic relationship that Haymitch and Katniss did
* Student beauticians freaking out about failing throws all of my life problems into sharp perspective
* I wonder what Vitas and Proserpina did to get the shitty distract
* The difference between 74 and 50 is wild…. This is pretty pathetic
* EFFIE!
* I know she’s on the bad team. But I’m happy to see her? Conflicting feelings.
Ch 13-
* Effie is Proserpina’s big sister?! Effie is a sister!! I’m crying.
* Is this how she landed up stuck with 12??
* Now that I’m running through other characters from the other books… I wanna know more about Cinna
* Maysilee and Effie are cunty girls girls together
* How old is Effie? How much older is she than Haymitch? How old is Proserpina?
* What the fuck is going on with Magno? Is he acting crazy? Or is he really crazy?
* What is the end goal? I get it. Break the machine. But then what? This rebellion is going to fail because they don’t have enough back up
* I feel like Drucilla is gonna die?
* Lou Lou wants the snake?
* Wyatt hugging and taking care of Lou Lou makes me mushy
* I wonder what happened to Cesar Flickerman?
* It is fucking sadistic
* A lot of hunger games “culture” came from 25
* Haymitch is real good at recentering back on his phrase from Catching Fire. Remember who the real enemy is.
* Kind of surprised Cesar is bolstering the Newcomers
* Modern lingo is noticeable (catching z’s … use of the word vibe)
* Lou Lou is more animal than human right now … and like an animal they lash back at things that hurt them
* Oh my god they knocked her out remotely
* This is what Katniss and Peeta got to see
* Rascal and owning it
* Drucilla and Magno are married 😂 unexpected
* I can’t puzzle out Plutarch
* FUCK ME MAN …. What are they doing to Lenore Dove
Ch 14-
* L.D getting arrested again makes me fucking sad … ahhh the hanging tree
* Why why why why why are they letting her talk to Haymitch? Do they know about the plan?
* I hope L.D doesn’t kill herself or get herself to be executed
* They’re still on the phone and I am weeping because I’m thinking about empty Haymitch is when we meet him and how full of love he is now
* I have an old friend in 12 …. WHO
* Is Plutarch starting his own rebellion? Are Plutarch and Beetee working together??
* Bro who the fuck radicalized you??
* Why 12? Is it just because they’re rebelling in small ways already?
* “This is a family show” … THEY ARE MURDERING EACH OTHER
* Is Plutarch talking about AI? Good job Suz
* It’s lonely going rogue :(
* In a place called heaven… they are so far removed from religion
Ch 15 -
* Maysilee choosing coffee as her “last meal” makes me sad
* Where did Maysilee hide the packet? Mouth? Swallowed it? Secret lady compartment
* Lou Lou singing a district 11 song makes me want die
* Lou Lou makes me think of Rue
* How many tributes throughout the years have been replaced with another child? Another victim?
* Rue’s good luck charm was the same as Chickaree’s
* I’m getting a disgusting gut feeling. I don’t want Haymitch to have a Cinna moment like Katniss did
* The way those two are going to be stuck together for the next 30 years
* What happened to the flint striker? Where is it? Who has it? Burried with Lenore Dove I bet
* Why didn’t the bunny set off the explosives?
* Impulse to protect them. He wants so badly to protect!
* Haymitch and Katniss really are alike
* I want Lou Lou to be gone early. I want her suffering to end.
* Coin sized black tablets ? Poison remover! Charcoal tablets to make you puke up poison
* Poison water. Everything is poison.
Ch 16-
* I’m sad Wyatt died so soon …. I’m sad for his family
* I’m surprised Lou Lou lived and kinda sad
* FIND HAYMITCH!!! LOU LOU
* Lou Lou is Rue I’m crying
* Fire is catching…. I’m gonna throw up
* A snake mutt is gonna kill Lou Lou
* Oh no…. She’s poisoned by the plant pollen
* Noooooooooooooo
* I’m glad she didn’t get murdered…. But fuck still painful and sad
* The pump oh my god oh my godddd
Ch 17-
* Mutts are gonna be released to make him give up Lou Lou’s body
* They’re not even animals… I bet their little machines
* I hate that hindsight lets me know this plan isn’t going to work
* Why does he think he would be “welcomed back in 12” if he won by blowing up the arena? How does he not think that he will be punished after winning? I know he will. But why doesn’t he think that?
* Hey buddy… I hate how much I love Haymitch. He’s such a good guy
* All the little ones seem to end up with me…. Why do they flock to me? I relate to that
Ch 18-
* This is how the mountain top explodes and floods half of the arena
* Haymitch is so smart to belt himself in. Just like Katniss and the tree
* Where is he? Where is Ampert???
* Oh my fucking god…. Picked him clean in seconds
* BUDDY?
* A valid crash out
* I feel like I’m going to throw up. He did it. And it isn’t going to fucking matter
* FUCK it didn’t matter
Ch 19-
* First use of the word rebel
* This poetry is so good… it punches me in the face
* I wonder how many people in the hunger games commit suicide before or during the games…. Or victors that do after
* I fuckin knew there would be people waiting
* Ahhhhh Mean Girl Maysilee!
* So who’s left? That was most or all of the careers
* I already know what happens but ahhhhhh
* Sure… I’ll be your sister OUCHY
* Evil lady bugs ?! noooooooo
Ch 21-
* The sounds are so visceral in these books
* A porcupine the size of a bear makes me want to shit myself
* The first part of the games felt like it was moving at break neck speed and now feels like it’s dragging out… weird tone shift
* We see so much more death and violence in this book than Katniss’s games
* One of us as to be worst victor in history…. Maysilee you would have been an amazing anti-victor but I’m kind of glad it wasn’t you because you would have been even more exploitable by sheer fact of being a woman
* I love the folk music
* THEY KEEP USING NAMES LIKE SIS AND BUDDY
Ch 22-
* I really like Maysilee’s commitment to forcing the world to view her and treat her like dignity and respect
* If Haymitch told Maysilee the truth, would she go along with it? Would she help?
* Game Makers? In the arena? With the tributes? These games are a fucking disaster.
* Okra. Appalachian boy
* This is so jarring
* Oh my god…. They murdered the game makers…. This is insane and a disaster
* Bombings…. Tear gas…. Rebellion
* Read them for fucking filth Maysilee they are fucking boot lickers
* Maysilee knows that even if she won, she wouldn’t grow old after murdering a capitol person
* The singing singing singing the constant singing…. Do you hear the people sing? Singing the songs of angry men
* It was there…. It was THERE
Ch 23-
* Did he really exit the arena? Is the force field from the edit even real?
* It’s coming and I am gonna throw up
* I’m glad he never leaves out Lou Lou and Woodbyne
* The force field is for the generator not the tributes…. God damn Suzanne
* He went back for her 😭😭😭 I knew he would go back for her and I still cried
* They took her voice 😭
* I just know that raggedy ass bitch Drucilla is happy watching her die
* “She’s with family” I am unwell
* Bean and ham hock soup???
* Noooooooo it’s the coffee for Maysilee a bitter bitch to the end
* Haymitch cries…. He cries many times in this story and I’m glad he doesn’t just swallow his emotions
* I knew it would be him and Silka (Silca?) at the end
* Freeze Tag ….. they are kids just like us
* Even a bicycle is a luxury item in 12
* Welly is so smart!
* Ahhhhh I’m scared
* She’s so starving she’s sick… oh sweet Welly
* Fuck…. Silka crying is just the cherry on top
* Remember the real enemy
* It’s not Silka. It’s not Panash. It’s the fucking capital. It’s the system that oppresses you and that is the point. Remember the real enemy
Ch 24-
* Welly starving to death in the hunger games is so painful and sad
* I’m surprised tributes are still allowed to have district tokens after these games
* Welly makes me think of Bonnie and Twill
* Curtsey of the Capital makes me fucking sick
* Is it milk?
* FUCK ME MAN I HATE IT HERE
* Coin flip Plutarch or Snow? My bet is on Snow
* I would start running with the milk and drop it…. Or dump it out
* Canon? WELLY NO
* He left Welly alone…. She asked him not to leave her!
* Oh my fucking god
* The real treasure…
* It’s the only way I get back to my people
* It looks so intentional… but it really wasn’t. Haymitch was just wanting to not be in the arena
* Loose cannon
* NEWCOMERS LAND ON TOP
* They won’t let him die
* THEY CALLED HIM OUT BY NAME IN THE ARENA
* Bullets?! Oh my fucking god
* This is why it faded to black in the replays
* EXCEPT YOURE NOT DEAD
Ch 25-
* What would happen if both tributes did die? Both were really really injured and couldn’t be saved?
* Naked Avoxes? What? Is he hallucinating?
* Ahhhh snake…. Ew oh my god
* The chest pump feels soooo sinister to me
* It’s weird having the victor tribute wake up in the training center apartment
* Haymitch really is the only person that could ever understand Katniss and Peeta
* How the fuck did Plutarch and Beetee and Wiress not get hanged for this?
* I keep circling back to what we know Haymitch’s house and his life is like as a victor
* Curated especially for me… gory deaths and suffering
* Oh Lucy Gray….
* I can’t stop crying….
* God damn it Effie
* White roses…. Crying, screaming, throwing up
* It’s hard enough being a Trinket? What does that mean?
* Effie… for all the shit about you… I can’t hate you
* Ahhh why is Mags in a wheelchair?
* To them? THEM?
* Are they already dead? Fuck I hate it here?
* The narrator has a sigh in his voice like he feels the anguish
* WHY IS SHE IN A WHEEL CHAIR? WHAT DID THEY DO TO HER?
* The card stacked him. Edited his rebellion into their propaganda
* This entire year of games was botched and rigged from the very beginning
* Why was the quell “theme” chosen for this year? Was it because there were early rebellions? Like Beetee? And they rigged it like that to take more rebel children.
* No Ma or Sid…. Are they going to paint him as an orphan to the country and kill them to make a point?
* They edited him into a villain
* They removed all of his allies and kindness
* A red rose? Not white
* Enjoy your homecoming…. I HATE this
Ch 26-
* Cage? Like a fucking animal
* God damn it Effie
* Someone finally said the word rape. That is such a real threat
* He’s willing to be their party clown to save LD and his family. And isn’t going to fucking matter
* He means the bodies FUCK
* SNOW HAPPENED TO SNOWS COVEY
* Arrogance is a great word for that
* Hanging Tree
* Louella and Lou Lou, the twins that he lost?
* No one is there waiting…. His mom and Sid are gone
* They were ordered not to welcome him a bet
* No on is there because his house in on fire…. Fuck I hate it here
* Katniss’s parents were his friends…. They couldn’t save them
* I’m the reason the cistern is dry (I broke down)
* Someone committing suicide… I knew someone would…. I’m sad that it’s Wyatt’s dad
* Marilee always liked looking like her twin and now she hates it
* You know this is Appalachia because even when you don’t like people, they’re still like family
* Capital Cage…. Forever in a cage
* He wants to save her so badly…. It’s not gonna matter
* Will her uncles get to live?
* LD is such a brat, I love her so much
* NO NOOOOOO
* He fed them to her
* NOOOOOO
* He’s just a boy! He’s a fucking child
Ch 27-
* I’m shocked he didn’t Romeo and Juliet it. Take one too and die with her
* Not again…. Oh Lucy Gray
* Blaire let him go for Haymitch’s comfort
* Burdock and Astrid tried so hard to stay friends with him…. Burdock was his best friend
* Could Blaire be Gales’s dad maybe? Probably not
* If he had access to it, Haymitch would be a morphling
* It hurts me that Burdock never forgave him
* LD lays forever with LG
* He was so down bad for her it hurts
* He leaves the flint striker with her FUCK I hate being right
* All the poetry and songs is painful
* No wonder Haymitch became an alcoholic
* The message is extremely simple. You cannot give up. You are obligated to live and FIGHT for a better future
* Damn appendicitis
* THE ATTIC
* Oh no Beetee’s wife is pregnant
* I need to know what radicalized Plutarch
* I have nothing to live for…. Then you have nothing to lose
* Even though Plutarch is on the good guys side. It does not erase the evil he had to commit to achieve the ends
* Expecting him to immediately help is a little ridiculous
Epilogue
* I have to look after my family
* Katniss reminds him of Louella… his sweetheart
* Lenore is in the book…. Immortalized forever
* Lenore never left him…
* End music sounds like The Magnus Archives…. Haaaaaate that

NEW on Storyteller's Vault: Hearthbound

I've published my first ever book! This is an early release of Dead Mountain content, is meant to help fund additional art for Dead Mountain, and it's Pay-What-You-Want!
Designed to bring some much-needed family ties, this Supplement is meant to give players and storytellers a framework for telling stories that confront the ugly sides of the Garou Nation.
Homecoming
Hearthbound gives you a new inclusive faction and multiple levels of intrigue to add to your Werewolf: the Apocalypse tabletop! Long kept beneath the heels of the Garou Nation, Crinos-Born and Kinfolk have found solidarity in supporting each other, and have turned out en force to demand disruptive change from their Tribes.
Inside Hearthbound is a peek into the birth of a new kind of Tribe that venerates the ideals of Shantar, a patron of inventiveness and creativity, and keeper of The Loom. They are taking a critical look at the heart of the Garou Nation itself. Long sold on the lie that Kinfolk cannot raise Crinos-Born children, an awakening is happening within the Nation, where the families that raised these Garou, realize what they are doing to their Crinos-Born. This sparked a movement to help Crinos-Born looking to escape their Tribes come to be raised in Kinfolk homes.
These Hearthbound, beholden to the people they love, act as judges of those Garou that abuse the Litany to systemically oppress each other. They are ambassadors to the spirits on behalf of their kin, Nannas to the Crinos-Born they help free, and Sorcerers capable of blending into societies and rewriting the Pattern Web itself.
There is a deep hurt within the Garou Nation.
The Hearthbound have risen up to protect those oppressed voices that have existed at the edges of the nation for millenia.
While this book is primarily written as a supplement for Werewolf: the Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition, all concepts and features of this emerging tribe can find its place in any edition of this game, new or old. There are also translation rules for utilizing these gifts in 5th Edition (if so inclined).
Hearthbound: Tribe Supplement Features:
The background and rules for creating a Hearthbound up to Third Rank!
No original art!
New Gifts!
Expanded Tribe histories and faction dispositions!
Guidance on confronting the Litany and Renown!
Story seeds on how to incorporate Hearthbound into your chronicle!

i gotchu!!!
double date (date is used loosely) w neil/andrew & allison/renee or jean/jeremy
et voila! i literally couldn't fathom a way to get andreil and jerejean in the same room without kevin so i just had him leave HAHA. it was painful to make him straight, but alas hope the boys fawning over him makes up for it 😈 thank you for the prompt lovely <33 📚 Read it on AO3
It would have made sense for them to part ways when Thea finally dragged a too-drunk-to-walk Kevin home. No matter how evidently they had all been making an effort to get along and get to know each other, it had been mostly for Kevin’s sake. Whatever Neil’s relationship to Jean was, Neil knew what it wasn’t. He was also pretty sure Jean couldn’t stand him outside of the necessary contact, but old wounds needed time to heal, and he couldn’t fault him for leaning away from the sting. But there was something new there too, a sense of solidarity or partnership or maybe just kin recognising kin in some manner. Kevin had explained it to him at length on another night out and Neil had paid half attention to that.
It had been easy to assume that Jeremy tagged along because Jean functioned in pairs, and Neil had operated under that assumption for a good chunk of time until several drinks the truth of the matter had hit him square in the face. If it hadn’t been for Renee, he thought he would have picked up on it earlier. Neil wondered if Andrew had noticed. If he had, he’d said nothing about it.
They were sprawled on the living room floor on beanbags with multiple bottles of alcohol between them and had been halfway through a drinking game Neil had only heard of before but never played. It had turned into a silent competition of all of them one-upping each other while Jeremy looked on in half-horror.
There was music playing in the background, but Neil paid no mind to it and sank further into the beanbag, glancing over at Andrew. As if feeling the weight of his gaze on him, Andrew lifted his glass of scotch from his knee to motion around them. “Never have I ever thought about blowing Kevin.”
Jean’s mostly empty glass slipped from his fingers and onto the floor, tipping the rest of its contents over the rug.
Jeremy was the first one to react with a nervous sounding laugh, shifting around to find the napkins next to the pizza boxes they’d discarded earlier and stacked them on the rug to mop it up a little. “Think it’s fine,” he said, and his voice was slurring a little as he looked back up. “You—what?”
Andrew said nothing, but he slowly and pointedly raised his glass to his lips and took a sip.
“He said never have I ever thought about blowing Kevin,” Neil pointed out helpfully, gaze catching on the way Andrew’s throat bobbed with the movement of the drink and wondered at that. They’d never discussed it explicitly, but he wasn’t surprised. Not really.
“That’s what I thought, okay, yeah. Way to bring that up the second he’s gone,” Jeremy rambled as he sat back and looked around for where he’d left his glass, making a face as he held it up somewhat guiltily, glancing at Jean briefly as he did. “Well, in the spirit of honesty…�� And he drank.
Neil took a moment to think about it. It hadn’t ever been as straightforward for him as it was for Andrew. The thought of ‘blowing Kevin’ as he phrased it seemed simple in a way Neil hadn’t ever thought about people. There was no denying Kevin was good-looking, but if he’d ever got hung up staring at him, it’d always been for other reasons. Mainly the ferocity of the smiles he gave him on court when he was particularly pleased with his performance. The tug in his gut that he felt then was maybe similar to what he felt when he was kissing Andrew. In some ways, not at all in others.
He thought about it now, though. Waiting for Kevin to step out of the shower after practice when it was just the two of them in the changing rooms and crowding him against the linoleum wall with heavy hands, dropping to his knees and pulling his towel away so he could sink his mouth around him. Looking up at his face and seeing that same glint in his eyes that he saw during games.
“You’re thinking about it right now,” Andrew’s voice cut through his fantasy in German, and Neil’s breath hitched a little as he snapped back to the present and the honey coloured eyes he was looking into instead.
Instead of answering, he lifted his glass and took another sip as well, shrugging.
There was something satisfied in the way Andrew stared at him afterwards, and he didn’t look away even as he said, a little louder and back in English, “I’m waiting, Johnny.”
Neil tore his gaze away from Andrew to look over at Jean, who scowled back at them from his spot across the rug. He’d recovered his glass but it was now empty where it sat next to him. “You cannot make me.”
Jeremy’s hand slid over his thigh and squeezed his knee gently, holding his own glass over to him in offering. “You can drink from mine if you want,” he said, and then he leaned in and whispered something in Jean’s ear that Neil couldn’t hear.
Content to wait him out, Andrew folded his forearm behind his head and stared right back. At this point, Neil wouldn’t have been surprised if Jean had thought about Kevin that way. Now that he knew he was interested in men, knowing he’d been friends with Kevin back in the day and that that was still somewhat raw in a lot of ways. It would have made sense. The hesitancy to admit to it was also reasonable, and if it hadn’t been Andrew asking, Neil might have changed the subject to help him out, but Andrew wanted the confirmation and Neil wasn’t going to fight his battles for him.
“You don’t know anything, you fool,” Jean hissed as his last bit of pushback before his fingers closed around Jeremy’s on his glass and he brought it up to drink from it too, eyes never leaving Andrew’s.
“On the contrary, I think you’ve just proved I do,” Andrew shot back. Neil could recognise a victory when he saw it. So could Jean, it seemed, as he tensed on his spot.
Jeremy seemed to want to diffuse the tension, because he ran his hand up and down Jean’s back and asked, “No one has actually… well, kissed him or anything, right? I didn’t think he—I mean sometimes I wondered, of course, but chalked it off to my own ego.” He laughed lightly, but couldn’t help the way his eyes flitted over to Jean afterwards, and Neil could see the curiosity in them despite himself.
“No,” Jean replied, deadpan and quickly before the searching look could linger for too long.
“If you dropped your racket off tomorrow, Kevin wouldn’t look at you again,” Neil faced Jeremy to explain. “Your ego’s right, just not about that.”
“Ouch, Neil,” Jeremy laughed, but there was no resentment in it. “Well, Thea’s one very lucky woman, I’ll give her that.”
Jean scoffed what might have been a laugh, too. “Except Kevin is an insufferable bitch, so actually she is one very unlucky woman ninety nine percent of the time.”
And no one could find it in themselves to contradict that, so they merely took another drink in silence.

Government Sanctioned Gangstalking: Destruction and Manipulation of Families and Friendships
In the shadowy world where truth is entwined with paranoia, targeted individuals find themselves ensnared in a web of isolation spun by the sinister hands of gang stalkers. But what are the twisted tactics these gang stalkers employ to turn our own families and friends against us?
The Dark Art of Manipulation
To unravel the intricacies of this psychological warfare, we must delve into the abyss where manipulation thrives. Research, such as the infamous Milgram Experiment, reveals the chilling truth: up to 60% of individuals can be coerced into torturing an innocent person with a mere suggestion of authority. When a badge enters the equation, this manipulation skyrockets to a staggering 90%. In this chilling landscape, even our closest kin are susceptible to the insidious whispers of malevolence.
The Sinister Agenda Unveiled
Gang stalkers, with their nefarious charm, convince our families and friends that we deserve their torment. They cloak their sinister agenda in the guise of a purported "behavior modification program," masking malevolence as benevolence. Good cop, bad cop theatrics seep into the minds of our loved ones, clouding judgment and distorting reality. They are told it's for our own good, a warped sense of tough love that only serves to shatter our spirits.
The Weapon of Gaslighting
Gaslighting becomes the gang stalker's weapon of choice, a subtle and cunning technique that chips away at our sanity, leaving us teetering on the edge of our own existence. The program's nefarious design is simple yet devastating: erode trust until we stand alone, isolated from the world we once knew. The fear of suicide or institutionalization hangs heavy in the air, a chilling reminder that the world may turn a blind eye if we vanish from society's grasp.
Standing Resilient
But do not succumb, fellow targeted individuals. Stand resilient!
In the face of this monstrous manipulation, rise above the ashes of despair. Embrace the mantra of survival: DEFEND YOURSELF! STAND YOUR GROUND! The narcissists and flying monkeys, entranced by the siren song of the gang stalkers, must be faced with unwavering determination. Sometimes, the only recourse is to sever ties, to go "no contact," shielding yourself from their poisonous influence.
Unite and Expose
Now, more than ever, unite and expose the dark underbelly of this orchestrated chaos. As a targeted individual, a beacon of resilience, it is your duty to shed light on the sinister games played by those in power.
Take Action!
Contact elected officials, reach out to truth-hungry journalists, and find solace in human rights and civil rights organizations. Together, unveil the secrets that shroud our lives, standing shoulder to shoulder against the malevolence seeking to consume us.
Challenge the status quo, question the narrative, and demand justice. Let our collective voice echo through the corridors of power, breaking the chains that bind us. Only through unity and unyielding resolve can we dismantle the lies and emerge victorious, reclaiming our lives from the clutches of manipulation. Stand tall, for you are not alone in this fight.
Conclusion
Government sanctioned gangstalking is a nefarious practice designed to tear families apart and manipulate friendships. But armed with knowledge, solidarity, and determination, we can expose these tactics and reclaim our lives. Stand strong, fellow targeted individuals, for together, we are a force to be reckoned with.

oh hi other video game fictionkin :)
while you might not be able to find any other members of your species. ill always be there to vibe with you. youll always have a fluffy little btd6 druid monke by your side (sorry if that sounds weird. idk. rare fictionkin solidarity ftw)
more on feeling isolated in the otherkin community. ive started calling myself a monkey therian and involving myself in what little monkeykin communities there are, bc thats the only community i have here. bc there are 4 other known bloons kin. you heard that right. four. two of them are my friends, two i've lost contact with but briefly knew online. and i'm the only druid. if you go to the #bloons fictionkin tag its all me. its all just my attempts to make myself more visible in the hopes of meeting more bloons monkeys. in the hopes that some newly awakened monkey tries to find other ppl like them and ends up finding my blog. im quite literally the only public bloons kin on here. and one of the only active monkey blogs. an anomaly within an anomaly.
and that really isn't anyone's fault.
but it still would be nice to have my existence acknowledged more often, yk?
hey guys can we please stop acting like being a dog/wolf/fox/cat is the default experience for therians and otherkin. the community is so canine & feline centric that when i look up stuff for my main kintype on pinterest, all i get is skinny white abled teenagers in canine/feline masks doing quads. i'm a monkey. i can barely find anyone like me because just looking up "therian" on most socials yields only canine and feline stuff. i can easily scroll to the very bottom of my kintype's tag (the monkeykin tag, not the one for my specific type of monkey - afaik i'm the only one). if i look on main therian/otherkin tags its. all. wolves. and most of the community terms are based off canine stuff too. "greymuzzle". birds dont have muzzles. fish dont have muzzles. monkeys dont have muzzles. even the word shifting was based off werewolf shifting. so much stuff thats supposed to be for all therians has paws on it. i saw a therian bingo a few days ago (not wolf therian, all therians) and the free space was a wolf paw. this is just a fraction of what ive experienced. idk, maybe lets not pretend like therian just means cat or dog.

Hearthbound Tribe Supplement v2.3!
New Expanded Version Available Now on Storytellers Vault!
All proceeds go towards funding additional artwork for Dead Mountain

Hello Kinfolks! What started as some formatting fixes and spelling corrections have turned into full spellcraft mechanics! Remember my first-ever book? Yeah, the one I released earlier that was basically the result of an unholy alliance between queerness and insomnia? Well, it's baaack! But this time, it's got a fancy new edition and a whole bunch of improvements that I promise will make you howl with excitement (or at least politely applaud).

10 pages of new content:
Better formatting, probably!
Garou Sorcerer guidelines
Cipher Glyphs for spell-storing
Enough Sorcerer mechanics to play them at your Werewolf tabletop!
Hearthbound gives you a new inclusive faction and multiple levels of intrigue to add to your Werewolf: the Apocalypse tabletop! Long kept beneath the heels of the Garou Nation, Crinos-Born and Kinfolk have found solidarity in supporting each other and have turned out en-masse to demand disruptive change from their Tribes.
Inside Hearthbound is a peek into the birth of a new kind of Tribe that venerates the ideals of Shantar, a patron of inventiveness and creativity and keeper of The Loom. They are taking a critical look at the heart of the Garou Nation itself. Long sold on the lie that Kinfolk cannot care for Crinos-Born children, an awakening is happening within the Nation, where the families that raised these Garou realize what they are doing to their Crinos-Born. This sparked a movement to help Crinos-Born, who sought a means to escape their Tribes and Septs.
These Hearthbound, beholden to the people they love, act as judges of those Garou that abuse the Litany to systemically oppress each other. They are ambassadors to the spirits on behalf of their kin, Nannas to the Crinos-Born they help free, and Sorcerers capable of blending into societies and rewriting the Pattern Web.
There is a deep hurt within the Garou Nation.
The Hearthbound have risen to protect those oppressed voices that have existed at the edges of The Nation for millennia. The background and rules for creating a Hearthbound up to Third Rank!
No original art!
New Gifts!
Expanded Tribe histories and faction dispositions!
Guidance on confronting the Litany, Hearths, Covens, Fellowships, and Renown!
Story seeds on how to incorporate Hearthbound into your chronicle!
Hearthbound was created with queer, trans, and disabled werewolf players in mind. I always loved the setting but never felt the game held space for queer and disabled folk, and 5th edition even less so.
A supplement that fits into this world does not pretend the bad never happened. This isn't to say the bad should be erased (indeed, that's worse in many ways) but rather is something that was, since 1st edition, something meant to be presented as antagonistically bad to social progress and meant to be confronted by players. However, this intent was very poorly conveyed, and a few too many people saw the bad stuff and took it as gospel for how they ought to behave in the world.
Hearthbound is my first step towards driving home the point that players are supposed to be confronting the Garou Nation and not celebrating and reinforcing the status quo.
I've gone through the intense emotional labor of reviewing the old books line by line to distill both the public and private faces of each Tribe and have categorically laid out the open cultural wounds that exist within each Tribe. The old books always used their literature to progress the world canon, and this aims to do just that. To pretend these problems didn't exist in the writing is disingenuous.
For those who found deep problems in the game but always wanted to play Werewolf to directly confront these things, Hearthbound is dedicated to you specifically.
And because I don't think inclusivity should have a price tag, I've made this supplement free to anyone who wants to challenge the status quo at their werewolf tabletops.
Grab your copy today!

“Women were not suspicious and fearful of other women, even those who were not of their own kin, despite their ignorance of natural death. There is no indication that women had any difficulty communicating with stranger-women even in the most remote epoch of social evolution. From the record it appears that women always had the capacity to band together for mutual cooperation and protection. To the present day the characteristic picture of primitive women shows them working together in amiability and enjoying one another's company.
An example of the cooperative, sisterly relations among women in New Guinea is given by Margaret Mead in Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies:
Tchambuli women work in blocks, a dozen of them together, plaiting the great mosquito-bags from the sale of which most of the talibun and kina are obtained. They cook together for a feast, their clay fireplaces (circular pots with terraced tops, which can be moved from place to place) set side by side. Each dwelling-house contains some dozen to two dozen fire-places, so that no woman need cook in a corner alone. The whole emphasis is upon comradeship, efficient, happy work enlivened by continuous brisk banter and chatter. (p. 252)
She contrasts this behavior of the women with that of men, where "there is always strain, watchfulness, a catty remark here, a double entendre there"; in short, where suspicion and hostility lurk under the surface of fraternal relations. She adds:
And whereas the lives of the men are one mass of petty bickering, misunderstanding, reconciliation, avowals, disclaimers, and protestations accompanied by gifts, the lives of the women are singularly unclouded with personalities or with quarrelling. For fifty quarrels among the men, there is hardly one among the women. Solid, preoccupied, powerful, with shaven unadorned heads, they sit in groups and laugh together, or occasionally stage a night dance at which, without a man present, each woman dances vigorously all by herself the dance-step that she has found to be most exciting. Here again the solidarity of women, the inessentialness of men, is demonstrated. (p. 257)
It is the women who do the work and make the things that the men interchange with one another. Mead writes, "The minor war-and-peace that goes on all the time among the men, the feelings that are hurt and must be assuaged, are supported by the labour and contributions of the women." At the festivals which repair the easily-ruptured relations among men, the women do the work while the men play the games.
Mead writes, "These festivals are a break in the vigorous workaday life of the women. Swift-footed, skilful-fingered, efficient, they pass back and forth from their fish-traps to their basket-plaiting, from their cooking to their fish-traps, brisk, good-natured, impersonal. Jolly comradeship, rough, very broad jesting and comment, are the order of the day" (p. 257). About the men's performances and games she writes, "The women's attitude towards the men is one of kindly tolerance and appreciation. They enjoy the games that the men play, they particularly enjoy the theatricals that the men put on for their benefit. A big masked show is the occasion for much pleasure" (p. 255).
It is not surprising, then, that the men, who are so dependent upon the women for food and other necessities of life, should be so concerned with how women look upon them. As Mead puts it, "What the women will think, what the women will say, what the women will do, lies at the back of each man's mind as he weaves his tenuous and uncertain web of insubstantial relations with other men. Each man stands alone, playing his multiplicity of parts, sometimes allied with one man, some times with another; but the women are a solid group, confused by no rivalries, brisk, patronizing, and jovial" (pp. 263-64).
Mead's report is significant because it is one of the few to show the maturity and power of primitive women in guiding the affairs of the community. Women played the key role in making men into brothers and teaching them how to make brothers and brothers-in-law out of other men. It was the women who labored to amass the food and boiled it in huge pots for the feasts, and who toiled to accumulate the baskets, blankets, pots, shell ornaments, and other things to be interchanged at the festivals. In short, it was the women's labor that created the gifts that converted enemies into friends.”
-Evelyn Reed, Woman’s Evolution: From Matriarchal Clan to Patriarchal Family

Legitimate question- I got the impression that the entire Sitri and Byleth thing was Rhea experimenting to try to bring her mother back. It didn't strike me as warm at any point. What in the game shifts perspective on all that to make this all seem less cold? I've nothing against Rhea, for the record.
from the outset, yes, that does seem to be what’s happening. nothing more and nothing less.
however, rhea’s experiments (aka creating a vessel) was supposed to make a body for sothis to live in, not someone else’s consciousness. we see that this didn’t work and rather than sothis, sitri was born. if this was only about reviving the goddess the moment that rhea realized that she failed there should be no reason as to why she wouldn’t just take the crest stone away, killing sitri, and starting over. every moment sitri is alive is a moment rhea is further behind in “saving fodlan” and getting her mom back.
because of this, i don’t think her reasoning behind making the vessels was 100% sothis related. she talks about how her goal is to ‘regain all that she had lost.’ and the devs even mentioned that she wants sothis back as the creator and not just as a mother. which basically means that rhea believes that if sothis comes back she can fix everything. the creator can make more nabateans, maybe even bring them back, can stop all wars and conflicts on fodlan and rhea can stop playing unpaid babysitter to the humans.
above all, i think she’s lonely. at this point seteth isn’t at the monastery so she’s by herself and we know that she views her life as a solidarity one (per her s-support). if sitri was only about sothis then there was nothing stopping her from taking her apart once she realized that she wasn’t sothis. absolutely none.
yet despite this we not only see sitri be allowed to live but also make friends and get married. she was allowed to have a life. in cindered shadows rhea says this:

and this:

so yes, rhea loved sitri and saw her as her own daughter. when sitri was in labor rhea was not thinking about sothis, she was thinking of her child. during byleth’s birth sitri, who was frail, was dying. she knew this, knew of the crest stone, and asked rhea to save byleth.


rhea didn’t kill sitri to try and revive the goddess using byleth. she was honoring her daughter’s final wish to save her baby which, as you can see by rhea’s grief and hiding the body, was traumatic and devastating to her.
as for byleth, it wasn’t until later that she started to think that they might not just house the progenitor god, but be sothis with no memory (fusing scene). i think that’s why she didn’t chase after jeralt when he snatched the baby and ran. yes she was distraught to loose sothis’ heart but she didn’t search for it. jeralt isn’t a hard man to find, he’s a mercenary, he has to have his name out there for clients. she probably thought that this was a sign of fate to cease her attempts at reviving the goddess.
i also don’t think that seteth coming to the monastery a year later is a coincidence either. remember i said she’s lonely? i think that having seteth around, one of her kin, helped keep the isolating despair away and helped her keep her head on her shoulders so she didn’t do anything foolish. she needs support and companionship, something she actively wants in her notes and dialogue, so she seeks to revive her mother, and through her, probably her entire race.
however, when sitri was born that also filled that gap for love in her heart so she didn’t take actions to revive her mother bc doing so would hurt her daughter. when sitri died and jeralt took byleth, seteth, her family, comes and she once again takes no action. it isn’t until byleth comes to the monastery that she starts to think that maybe it’s the goddess’ will “did the flow of time bring you here” and her flickering hope comes back in full force after byleth fuses with sothis.
