You know the old saying, ‘those thrown in pits will build ladders.’ For years, I believed that whoever wrote that never climbed a day in their life. After all, what pit has the material–the wood, the nails, the hammers–needed to build a ladder? Who, tossed aside by the more powerful, could find the will to build handholds and rungs from nothing at all? How does anyone, I wondered, escape the depth? But I realized something I had not considered. The powerful are frugal and it is costly to dig a new pit for each person you wish to bury. The weak, the downtrodden, the dismissed, the disfigured, the doomed. We are all neighbors. And we are too, the wood, the nails, the hammers, needed to build ladders. Austin Walker, Spring in Hieron

imagine you're emmanuel from hieron friends at the table. you were a baker for a long time and then you went on a boat and when you went back home your home was invaded and colonized so you fled to a different city but didn't even really set down roots there before the city was eaten by the roiling nothingness at the base of the world so you fled again to this community kind of homesteading out of a defunct college and you've been living there for 8 years. and it SUCKS. you've been legitimately going hungry OFTEN for like eight years. and this guy shows up. this guy who showed up in your life right before both extremely major changes shows up. and both of the last times you saw him he was like, really interested in you! but also, crucially, both times he vanished and you thought you weren't going to see him again. the last time was really long and you were like super sure he was dead. but anyway this guy shows up and acts like nothing's changed and you really want to go along with it. your last boyfriend like froze to death or died of dysentery or something. but you bring up settling down together because that's where it seems like things are going and he agrees immediately! and then goes "i mean, as long as i can go away and disappear again" so you're fucking pissed at him. and like, the next day, this motherfucker comes back to your house with one of those 2005 calculator communicator thingys saying that he's leaving again but you can stay in contact with this. and when you call him out on his bullshit he points at the moon and goes "i'll be there so you can look up and it'll be like we're together <3" and i'm sorry the moon? THE MOON FROM THE FUCKING SKY???????

Hey did you know that Throndir is canonically a fat hairy gay man? he's rugged, he's a main character in a story that's over 200 hours long, he has a cute dog!! he was The Ranger for crying out loud!!

only you can stop wildfires literalism from winning (a silly tumblr poll - Vote For Throndir!!)

oh and for the record:

Happy Secret Samol! My gift for @ketraia is an embroidery representing Hella as Adularia's knight.

I originally intended to write something, but the characters ended up just outside of my comfort zone enough that I was more comfortable doing something visual. So then the trick became, how do I make ship art out of non-representative textural embroidery? I ended up straying a little far from the prompt (rip to Adair you were supposed to be in here somehow), but it was fun to stretch my creativity and represent characters I normally wouldn't.

Bonus: look how sparkly it is! (Check under the cut for more detail/progress shots.)

The materials used are silk and velvet scraps, polyester organza, craft pearls, acrylic stones, Swarovski crystals, dollhouse mirror frames, and pen&ink drawing with liquid gold leaf detailing. All came from my stash! It's embroidered with a combination of tambour beading and needle and thread.

Transcription below [Provided by Transcriptions at the Table]

Austin: Adaire Ducarte’s Hog Babe School. [Ali, Janine, and Sylvia laugh] School for Hog Babes. Uh… this is an inside joke. This was all just in chat. We only talked about hog babes quietly, right? Did we talk about hog babes out loud? No, we did. We talked about- 

Keith: I never heard hog babes in my life. 

Sylvia: [quietly in the background] We didn’t.

Keith: So, it wasn't to me that it was said or written. [Austin and Sylvia laugh] I'm gonna search our chat for hog babes. 

Austin: You gotta make sure you include the hyphen. 

Keith: Oh, okay. Sorry. Yeah. 

Sylvia: [quietly in the background] Oh, wait. 

Austin: [reading] ‘As a word for young pig, the word piglet only dates back to the mid eighteen hundreds. Before then, a young pig might be called a hogling, fourteenth century. A porket, fifteen-fifties. A hog babe, sixteen-hundreds. Or a gruntling, sixteen-eighties.’ Keith!

Keith: I totally forgot about this. Yeah.

Austin: [laughing] You were the first one to reply to this. [everyone laughs]

Keith: Yeah. I said that explains ‘Babe.’ Cinema classic ‘Babe.’ 

Austin: Oh my god. 

Keith: And ‘Babe Two: Pig in the City.’  Austin: Amazing. Yes.
