[starwarsrecrimination]

Character Spotlight: Mirri

Mirri began her career in service of the Grysk Hegemony as a hunter, and despite having worked aboard the Starsfall as head of Bakokin Tell's personal security detail for years, her instincts are still sharp. She is able to piece together the truth that not even the most incisive interrogations were able to reveal, storing that information away until it can be best used to serve her and her young child. It's not enough.

Just like Jona, Mirri had existed in the bones of Recrimination for years before her story fully coalesced. Her time in the narrative is very short, but efficient to the end, I think she makes pretty good use of it. Designing her was another opportunity to expand on my ideas for the appearance of the Grysk species. Her striped markings differ from Tell's and are inspired by the lynx point pattern some tabby cats sport. Her eye design is meant to imitate tapetum lucidum, another feature which some members of the species might sport.

Visual and description under the cut:

This visual was created using @/crowesn's Picrew, which can be found here.

[Image ID: An illustration made using Picrew. The subject is an alien of roughly middle-age, with wispy white hair cropped close to her head, grey skin patterned with symmetric white and grey-brown stripes, and an intense expression. Her eyes have black sclerae and cloudy light grey irises with no pupils. Broad white markings frame her eyes, and thinner markings appear on her cheeks and forehead. She has faint lacerations on her face, as well as freckles and patchy patterns, and her arms are marked with jagged grey-brown stripes. She wears a black sleeveless shirt under a large green hooded scarf with gold embroidered trim and star motifs. The background is a light grey square with a black sun-and-starburst centered behind the subject. End ID.]

content warnings for non-graphic and loosely described violence, torture, child endangerment, and death

Their paths cross the first time on Tell’s flagship, the Starsfall (more intimidating in Gryss). The child is at most five, and based on recognizable phonics and tone of voice definitely not allowed to be in this part of the ship. The girl’s scramble out of the way of a blow that the assailant hasn’t even decided to bring down is as automatic a response as Eli’s subsequent move into the strike’s path. It’s a gambit that yields satisfactory results: Tell’s regularly-scheduled mutilation session has to be irregularly rescheduled, with most of the Sculptor’s subsequent ire targeted at the overzealous guard, and the child slips away unnoticed in the aftermath.

Lying that night on the cold metal floor, sensory edges dulled by the acrid burn energy weapons tend to leave and that heartache that tends to come on when a stranger reminds you of a not-stranger you can’t quite get to at the moment, he is hazily aware of a tall figure crouched near the door on the other side of the cell. Being in not much condition to do something about it, he lets the vaguely familiar figure be. The next time he sees her, in full armor but recognizable by her posture and maybe more pertinently by the way she silences the humming containment field on her way out of the doomed ship, Eli is able to place just where he knows her from. Acting on instinct just as automatic as the move to protect the kid, he resolves not to tell Lani— or anyone else— about the little girl or her mother.

Rescued by pirates more opportunistic than altruistic but nevertheless decent hosts, recovered by a CEDF scout ship that almost didn’t answer their hail, rehabilitated sort of by doctors clearly lacking in xenobiological expertise, and finally restored to his pre-capture command after a turnaround that none who care to comment think was nearly long enough, one year after first “meeting” the child Eli finds her again when her mother shoots him out of the sky.

During the odd pair’s life-or-death jaunt through the woods of a collapsing planet (he had been on an aid mission, undercover, noncombative, but no one on any side has time to cry foul play with all the devastating groundquakes and whatnot), a year’s worth of questions are asked and answered, back and forth. Eli learns that the child’s name is Jona, and her mother’s name is Mirri, and her father is no one worth mentioning (the status of the father was not asked after to begin with). He learns further that Mirri can cleave a boulder twice her size in half with a standard vibro-glave, and it’s this and his near-fatal curiosity that keep him from running as fast as he can back towards the smoke of the ship’s wreckage and away from wherever she’s leading him to, even though she’s fairly injured and he’s fairly not. Mirri alone out of her associates has made the connection between the human prisoner kept more on a whim than out of genuine interrogative interest and the Hegemony’s increasing loss of its captive navigators. She is playing for amnesty for her and her child in exchange for one of the Ascendancy’s most covert operatives, and does not ask if he thinks it will work. He thinks she knows the answer.

Mirri learns that the strange human who is back in the field much too soon based on what little she saw of Tell’s handiwork and the clean-up involved has three daughters of his own, the youngest about the same age as hers. She learns that they began showing the signs at about the same age as Jona did. She learns that the human man’s children are not human, and that he found them after her people had gotten to them, and he knows very, very well what she has tried, is trying, to save her daughter from. He does not ask if she has met the others like his children, if she has played a role in the nightmares of someone he rescued, or the end of someone he couldn’t. She thinks he knows the answer.

As they reach the safehouse, and her daughter, and Mirri’s rotted blood refuses to stop flowing despite what are clearly the best efforts of the human who’s still so ghastly thin a whole year after Tell that even in this weakened state she could probably snap his wrists with a whisper, she makes peace with the fact that she is going to die, which is not hard to accept after a lifetime of dangerous work, and that Jona is going to live, which is a little harder to reckon with. Forces from every side converge on their location, and she determines to stay and buy them more time to run (and less time to see her bleed away), and Mirri sends her heart away with the human, whose name is Eli, whose daughters’ existence he never mentioned even once during six months of Tell’s finest work, whose thin arms support Jona’s weight like he could carry her until the end of time and a little while longer, while Mirri tells her daughter goodbye.

(( Tell me more about her, please! ))

Tenebre Ashembriel Hawksong, daughter of Lord Hawksong and his wife, of House Lightrest, is a veteran Farstrider turned local militia commander in the county of the Kingdom where she was raised. She took the mantle of Commander of the Dawnswatch at the behest of her cousin, Arius, who wanted someone he could trust in the role after the tumultuous events that brought him home. Soon after, she married the heir to House Starsfalling, Ardus Cardalyii, and within a few years the pair of rangers who started as friends with benefits welcomed their first child, a boy they named Spesardus.

It would be years later that they were introduced to the mysterious Kyara Sungrasp, another veteran Farstrider with a shadowed past from a noble house of questionable reputation and still later that they would meet Avander Dawnchild, one of the few survivors of an otherwise defunct House—and one that is more than willing to leave it that way.

Thirst in my Soul

“Thirst in my Soul” These floating dreams Of mine, These divine manifestations, Are more than just fantasy. They are twinkling stars Falling from space In search of something more.

[aery-team]

Alright so here's the introduction. We are Aery team. We are monoconscious endo system. Collective pronounces are ae/aer/aers/aers/aeroself or she/her. We prefer the first ones but we know it can be hard to use for some people. We used label median for some time but now we don't sure that much. Adult.

In any case it's a chill place to exist for each member. We don't want to engage in any internet wars or syscourse. We might add some stuff to other posts but mostly we just want to stick to our gang, you know. We won't talk about DID or OSDD or CDD specifically because we know almost nothing about it and don't want to spread something that is not true.

Each member will have their own tag. We will reblog a lot of random stuff we like plus general plurality positivity. Due to being monoconscious it's kinda hard to cooperate so each member will make their own separate introduction. Don't want to post something about someone if they don't want it to be posted. So we hope to have fun.

Personal blogs:

Omori: @omori-from-aery

Libre: @balance-keeper-from-aery

Nocturne: @starsfall-aery

Prefered terms

To the system as a whole: team or system

To each headmate: member

Don't use: alter or introject

This introduction probably will change a lot. Currently only one member participated in writing it. So yeah.

"The Universe Crashes Down" c.1999. Not the best art, I was still just getting started. So it's a bit abstract. The story behind this happened a year earlier. My psychiatrist went on vacation for two weeks and left me with no refills for my meds so I went psychotic over the summer of '98. Dude was kind of a flake. Anyway, the first night it became apparent I had been in bed trying to sleep. My visual perception was skewed and I "felt" that the roof over my bedroom was about to close down on me. I ran outside to get away and was OK for several minutes. Then the sky seemed way too close, it was oddly claustrophobic . So I ran back inside. It kept happening over and over no matter what was above me, but outside it was terrifying. The whole of the night sky was suffocatingly too close. I don't remember how that night ended, but I somehow fell asleep back in my bed. I've made 3 paintings about this experience and none of them have lived up to it, it's such a hard thing to explain. Anyway this was the first. By autumn '98 I was better. I don't remember what happened, one of my other doctors finally got a hold of my psychiatrist, but it took a bit for the antipsychotics to kick in again. 🤷‍♀️ #art #perception #proprioception #psychosis #alterationofthesenses #theskyisfalling #chickenlittle #oldpainting #experimentalart #expressionism #psychosisawareness #schizophrenia #schizophreniaawareness #meds #baddoctor #norefills #summer #galaxies #milkyway #starsfalling #claustrophobia #alteredperception #acrylicpaint #igart #crappyart #notmybestwork #butitgetsthepointacross https://www.instagram.com/p/CZsT1JwvVga/?utm_medium=tumblr

Episode Up Close: The Law of Noncontradiction (S1E2)

Note: these close looks will assume familiarity with the Recrimination outlines and may contain spoilers. If you are new to the project, check out this blog’s pinned post for more info. 

What’s the Big Idea?

The Law of Noncontradiction states that two things that contradict each other cannot be true at the same time. By cutting between the narratives introduced by Eli and Mirri and flashbacks to the events onboard the Starsfall, this episode pushes the audience alongside the characters to reevaluate what they understand to be true. While Mirri has very little time in the broader story, dying at the end of the episode, her presence in the story lingers long after, especially for her daughter Jona. 

Scene Spotlight: “First Watch”

Eli and Mirri have a very fascinating dynamic that I touched on in the very short story “Perfect Square”, which is a condensed narrative written before I created the outlines that largely covers the events of this episode and serves as a partial backstory for Mirri and Jona. There are no discrete scenes in this version or the outline, but one sequence I envision quite clearly is the one I refer to as the “First Watch”. After night has fallen over the woods, Eli and Mirri are forced to stop and make camp, on edge against the dangers of the forest and the battles raging on above and within it. The two clash over the watch order: Mirri insists that she take the first watch, Eli protests that her injury makes her more likely to miss something crucial, Mirri counters that he cannot be trusted not to run off, etc. etc. The final compromise ends up being for each to tie one of the other’s ankles to a nearby tree, before Eli takes the first watch (though Mirri resists sleep for some time anyway). It is an absurd scene, playing more to feelings of security and assurance than actual common sense, and the petty argument illustrates the similarities between the two while also deflating much of the tension between them. 

Inspiration

Many, many stories have some variant on the “stranded in the woods, forced to survive through teamwork” type. This is not explicitly based on any specific one (no, it is not a reference to the Rebels episode “The Honorable Ones”), but I do think elements from Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness had been buzzing in the back of my head when I was considering the dynamic between Mirri and Eli.

Larashi doesn’t do much of Life works, but as first born of Starsfall she exhausts herself with Guild’s wars earning money for her family. In free times, she read hundred of books until she fell asleep. Also visiting her sibling’s house in Heidel.
