Twenty One Pilots - March To The Sea

And about this time of every year The line will go to the ocean pier And walk right off into the sea And then we fall asleep

And as we near the end of land And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand I ask myself the question Why I fall in line

Then out of the corner of my eye I see a spaceship in the sky And hear a voice inside my head Follow me instead

The go-to past-defining event is definitely her leaving the sea/oblivion-themed cult she grew up in (which. kind of worshipped her for a while due to her being marked by their goddess, then asked her to ritually drown herself. she said no thanks. those were also the people who raised her so the "no thanks" part was difficult and did involve her killing some people when they wouldn't take no for an answer)

Lyriel - Voices In My Head

All the different, noisy, loud and harsh Voices in my head, they follow me To break me down Oh, I can't resist a single one Tempting me to stay, to see, to give, and I obey

When I change my mind They are holding on to me And pushing me into water Cold and dark and beautiful I am not alone They are with me in my time of need, in me Quiet is the tempting sea and beautiful Her dark and cold embrace Peacefully I breathe the need to be with her And taste her grace

She's psychic! She sees and hears souls! She's still processing the cult trauma! And I do think that the struggle with all of that is a big part of how she defines herself. Like. For a while, that was probably the core of her identity.

Tarja - I Walk Alone

Go back to sleep forevermore Far from your fools and lock the door They're all around and they'll make sure You don't have to see what I turned out to be No one can help you I walk alone Every step I take, I walk alone My winter storm holding me awake It's never gone when I walk alone

...I'm doing three "other people's perspective" songs because each one of those is a very specific perspective and I think they're all fun.

This one is the general vibe people probably get from her, which is "ominous, kind of otherworldly, distant" and that's about it.

Chloe Foy - Oh You Are Not Well

Oh you are not well You cannot string your thoughts together How, you do not know To make it any better What you can't decide To love life or to lose it How can we despair When all we do is move it

There is one way of telling If a Mad Man's what you'll be You'll take one look, and with one look Your eyes will flash with fury But don't be hard, have some heart For one day you will see Have some heart and hold his soul and give him all your body

...while people who don't know her that well find her very intimidating and don't really get past that, the people closer to her do know that she's kind of a mess (a highly functional mess, mind you, but still). Also encroaching on the next question's territory a little bit because she does get a Crush Arc and a Pining Arc and it happens to be represented here (to be fair, that's something only one specific character in one specific universe gets to observe as it happens - thank you for your service @curiouslavellan's Helaine - but that counts, I think)

EPIC: The Musical - Ruthlessness

You are the worst kind of good 'cause you're not even great A Greek who reeks of false righteousness, that's what I hate 'Cause you fight to save lives, but won't kill and don't get the job done I mean, you totally could have avoided all this had you just killed my son But no

You are far too nice, mercy has a price It's the final crack, we're bound to break the ice now You reveal your name, then you let him live Unlike you, I've got no mercy left to give 'cause

Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves

...this one is fun for me, personally, because it fits Ondra's perspective of her. You know. The goddess that marked her and is kind of responsible for the whole cult thing.

This also relates to some late-game Ondra-related events in POE1 (if you know you know), but even without that context, the point is that Ondra has some beef with Selene and her "people shouldn't be thrown away the second they have served their purpose" stance and the fact that she's still alive. Which is fun for Selene to deal with.

Imogen Heap - 2-1

I'm dying to know What's in your head I'm dying to know How it all got in there I'm dying to know To help make some sense of it all I'm dying to know Tell me is it my fault?

And I care about you, darling And I care about you 'Cause I care about you More than anyone else

Things are not always Things are not always How they seem

They don't turn out always Don't quite turn out always How we think Will we be ready?

Ship song!! Early relationship vibes, and by "early relationship" I mean "no one even realizes they have feelings yet". But yeah, it's the "falling for a telepath"/"telepath falling for someone and trying to UnderstandTM them" and the "I don't know why but you're Important to me" and the "there's some kind of horrible danger looming over us but we don't realize it yet" of it all.

Tarja - Lost Northern Star

Lost northern star Buried in sorrow I'll guard your mind Let demons howl outside

My soul burns

I have been known to refer to the different versions of this song as her boss music. phase 1 / phase 2 / phase 3

Imagine Dragons - Selene

To the demonstrated smile To the lonely love child Destination desolation, tell me when you reach the brink of life Just a picture on your wall Thats nice, what a metaphoric fall Typically, I was a validation on your sleeve Oh what an indication To the center of the pain Through your tattered window pane To the middle of your heart

Resolutions and lovers in the kitchen Love is clueless and destiny is wishing This is my heart, it's on the line, Selene

Less lore-accurate lyrics and a way more upbeat sound than the rest of her playlist, but I feel like a credits song should be allowed that. I mean, come on, it has her name in it!! also there IS some Selene-adjacent stuff there with "lonely love child / destination desolation / tell me when you reach the brink of life", and I do kind of read "just a picture on your wall, that's nice / ... / I was a validation on your sleeve" as her addressing the people who raised her. And I can't NOT make "this is my heart, it's on the line, Selene" about Ship Stuff. It's literally in the author's notes of Cold Water.

(also, this IS the last song on her actual playlist for this exact reason. credits music)

My visual interpretation of Theleria

From fanfic "Crimson crown" by @tarjapearce

(i really wanted to play around the idea of Theleria being the complete opposite to Arachne, so there is a lot of opposites like, warm/cold color schemes, spider/bird (birds are n1 spider eaters))

So, fashion, customs and different traditions are made from history, and because the one we have in the fic currently is a little vague when it comes to description, i made my own. Rendition consists of 2 main points: What Theleria used to be, and what it is now.

So, lets start w what it used to be. I imagine that back then, Theleria used to be a very god-devoted society, their god being the moon itself. And it was very visible in their representation, cold colors, moon symbolism, and importance of devotion (that's where the concubine hatred comes from). Since the goddess wasnt exactly seen, art became a very stable branch of their society. They believed in their goddess, and through devotion, were able to become one of the greatest existing kingdoms. Well, that is until a certain point.

That said point being an unknown sickness that traveled through the air and quickly started a plague across the whole kingdom. It forced Theleria to close all their borders to prevent sickness from spreading, and also significantly weakened the army. People were angered and felt betrayed by their goddess which resulted in their necessity to drop the art and pick up a medical field. Because of the plague, their clothes became much more closed, so that the infection won't affect them. It also started a tradition of having a certain bird to represent a family, they wore plague masks of that bird on them all the time, and had feathers implemented in their fashion because of thick fogs that appeared after the quarantine started.

After the plague was eradicated, people were hesitant to just abandon all the new traditions and go back to who they were, so they didn't. They became a very closed off kingdom with extensive medical knowledge.

I'm also working on my portrayal of y/n and her outfits. Featuring, a masked version which everyone can associate with, a couple of different outfits for diff occasions, and a me spesific one, where she basically takes off her mask while alone or w trusted associates.

But that's for later, cause i was too exited to show what I've been working on so far)))))

(Also, if my god and savior Tarja will ever see this, please consider messaging me bc i would love nothing more than to make banners for crimson crown chapters (for free w credit), OK THANK U BYEEE)

Top 50 Metal Frontmen + Frontwomen of the 21st Century (by Loudwire)

32. Tati Shmayluk (Jinjer)

If one was to create the perfect modern metal singer from scratch, the result would be Tati Shmayluk. The Jinjer frontwoman possesses the cleans of a soulful superstar and the growls of a demon queen, and her interchangeable style brings her to the god-tier level of a Mikael Akerfeldt or Devin Townsend. Jinjer have only just begun to scratch the surface of what they’re capable of, and in a few years, Tati will potentially be blowing away massive crowds as a festival headliner.

27. Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation)

Sharon den Adel role in Within Temptation, transcends the term "front woman": "Victorian Goddess" feels like a more apt description for what she does. Her silky, soft and chilling approach to vocals is unique even amongst modern metal sirens. Sharon brings her fans to tears on favorites like “Memories” and “Mother Earth,” all while wearing tiaras and ballroom gowns. Few could pull that off and be taken seriously, but den Adel makes it work.

22. Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil)

There’s not a wealth of metal coming from Italy, but Lacuna Coil have put "The Boot" on the metal map in the 21st century. Their goth-tinged, rhythm heavy sound hinges on shades of light and dark through a two vocalist setup. Cristina Scabbia, whose angelic voice represents the lighter aspect (though her lyrics have long served as an emotional vessel for pain, grief and sorrow), gives the band a unique attack as their sound can drift into the more atmospheric and ethereal at times or bludgeon with overt heaviness.

16. Tarja Turunen (Nightwish)

Who would have imagined that truly operatic singing would fit so well within the heavy metal landscape? Tarja Turunen’s heavenly pipes offered something entirely new and refreshing for metal, which had largely been devastated by the changing trends of the ‘90s. She and Nightwish led the return to the majestic, fantasy driven roots of the genre with an intriguing new angle. Turunen proved that the singing style could command genuine respect and influence in metal.

11. Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy)

She took the baton from Angela Gossow and ran with it like nobody else could. After a successful career with the Agonist, Alissa White-Gluz leveled up when she joined Arch Enemy, ultimately bringing the band into the most fruitful period of their career. Her clean vocals and gutturals are the cream of the crop, and her power only increases when she hits the stage. She is arguably the greatest female performer of her generation, and one of the all-around best band leaders of the century.

10. Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy)

The 21st century has seen a massive surge of women in metal bands, strengthening and diversifying our beloved genre. The most powerful and influential of these ladies is undoubtedly Angela Gossow, who paved the way for extreme metal frontwomen and gave Arch Enemy their most explosive years. With undeniable stage presence and terrifying gutturals, Angela Gossow is one of the most admired musicians in metal history and her vicious aura may never be replicated.

Who's the Most Likely, Least Likely, or Maybe Mothers for Rhajat based on Classes, looks, supports, and/or mannerisms?

Most Child units inherit the hair color from their Mothers (with the exception of Male Kana, who inherited his father's hair color, and Shigure). But some parents are more fitting for some child units then others based on Classes, looks, supports, mannerisms, etc. I'm not looking for who would make the kid stronger. Just a parent who would make sense for the Child Units.

Recap: Asugi (I made some edits and added new facts if your interested)

Percy

Ignatius

For this one it's about our Corrin-obsessed, curse-loving stalker who greatly resembles Tharja (who might be her previous life).

Those that see (?) It means that I'm not sure if it counts as evidence or not.

Here's what I've gathered so far?

1.) In Awakening, Tharja's base class sets are Dark Mage, Knight, and Archer. Rhajat's standard class is Diviner, she inherited the Oni Savage class option from Hayato. If you want to make a call-back to Tharja's Awakening base class set's have Nyx be her mother as Rhajat inherit's her Dark Mage class option. Effie has a Knight class option Rhajat can inherit but if you still want her to have a Dark Mage class, regardless of the mother, have Rhajat become buddies with Ophelia in order to get the option.

2.) Some of her supports shows she enjoys teasing people for her amusement, sometimes in rather mean ways. When Kiragi offers to help get ingredients for her in their support, she keeps sending the naive boy to dangerous places and expecting him to fail just for her own amusement… but keeps getting surprised when he keeps coming back.

Orochi trolls and teases Jakob quite a bit in their supports, laughs at Subaki's disgust when she accidentally dumps her alchemy ingredients on him and finds Oboro's notorious "demon face" to actually be funny - especially when hearing Oboro can't control it. She also spends her Supports with Takumi teasing him about his childhood

When Azura does open up, she proves to have quite the mischievous side, such as scaring Sakura with ghost stories.

Corrin has her moments of being mischievous. This is a little more prominent with Female Corrin, as she enjoys making Asugi (if he's not her son) flustered (she finds his reactions cute) and tells Ignatius ghost stories to purposefully scare him.

3.) Rhajat is an anagram of Tharja, the basis for her character. "Rajat" is a Hindi word that means "silver". In a similar vein, Syalla is a modified phonetic anagram of Tharja's Japanese name Sallya. Her Japanese name, Sallya, may be derived from Sally, a shortening of the Hebrew name Sarah, meaning "princess". Tharja may be a variation of Tarja, a Finnish spelling of Daria, which ultimately derives from the masculine name Dārayavahush, meaning "posessing goodness" in Persian. Her name may also come from the Hindi name Tharaja, meaning "star with full glow".

The "silver" part can come the silver hair Rhajat can inherit from Default Female Corrin. Or the white hair from Rinkah. Or the grayish-blond hair from Effie.

The "princess" part could be from being born from Sakura, Hinoka, Azura, or Corrin. Maybe Rinkah since she's the daughter of the Flame Tribe Chieftain or Felicia since she's the daughter of the Ice Tribe Chieftain. Although it could be from that in the future Hayato will be the future Wind Tribe Chieftain.

If you want to make a connection based on name meaning, Nyx is named after the primordial Greek goddess of the night which could connect to "star with full glow".

4.) Rhajat's support with her mother involves Rhajat is trying to cast a protective spell over a bunch of villagers to protect them from an upcoming illness. However, she casted it too late for it to be effective and the village people mistakenly thought she had cursed them instead. (And she didn't exactly defend herself, either.) Rhajat's mother is caught in this conflict and, while she does her best to take care of the ill, she also tries to reassure Rhajat about not blaming her for anything. In the end, Rhajat manages to raise a plant that will make a good cure (which is why she didn't defend herself, it'd take time away from her research), so her mother is very proud of her.

Should her mother be Rinkah, according to their A support, she inherits her mother's headstrong nature.

Her dedication to finding a cure reminds me of several mothers like how Hinoka is dedicated to fighting, her training as a Sky Knight, and becoming stronger for the sake of her homeland. And having the drive to save others.

How Kagero is extremely dedicated to her job, proof of that his her supports with Corrin.

How Hana is hardworking to the point that she sometimes misses several meals at a time.

(?) In Oboro's supports with Corrin she's shown working herself ragged on a moonless night, although it's because so she won't have nightmares involving her parents death.

(?) Corrin is dedicated to her family

(?) While Felicia is terrible working as a maid, she does try and is hard working about it.

(?) Mozu starts of as weak villager but she can become a powerful unit later on. That's being dedicated. There's also the fact Mozu was a farm girl and that Rhajat planted the herb that can cure the village of illness. While she did use a little bit of light magic encourage the herb's growth, Rhajat could've gotten the planting skill set from Mozu.

The knowledge of plants part could come from Hayato, since he is fairly skilled as an apothecary, having numerous rare herbs and can also turn them into potions.

Rhajat wanting to heal the villager reminds me of Sakura who is a healer.

Orochi is not exactly a healer, but is pretty good at using medicinal herbs to make potions and salves.

(?) If Nyx is her mother, Rhajat might be inspired to find the cure for the villagers from Nyx's desire to be cured from her curse.

(?) Effie will time and time again endanger herself to protect those around her, wanting to be everyone's "shield." Would Rhajat had been in danger when the villagers thought she cursed them?

5.) She has her own cooking flair, "Dedicated," which produces food that matches the "Exquisite" flair in quality… but only enough for one person, Corrin.

Let's go over the worst cooks first: Hinoka's Flair tier is Reckless, Rinkah's Flair tier is Burnt, Setsuna tier is Disgusting and her support with Hinoka reveals it takes several days for them to do an omelet recipe with Setsuna nearly burning the kitchen, and Felicia's Flair tier is Noxious and her clumsiness messes up the cooking.

The best cooks are Azura, and Mozu. In Mozu's case her Flair tier is Delicious and a lot of her supports involve her collecting ingredients or cooking. In Azura's case her Flair tier is Mouthwatering.

Female Corrin can't cook but she is a fairly skilled baker in her support conversations with Dwyer.

As for the rest is ambiguous, Effie's Flair tier is Daring, Sakura's Flair tier is Hoshidan, Hana's Flair tier is Salty, Nyx and Orochi's Flair tier is Sophisticated, Oboro's Flair tier is Sweet, and Kagero's Flair tier is Elegant (although people might hesitant to eat it because her strange sense of foreboding art effects what her food looks like).

Hayato's Flair tier is Simple

6.) Rhajat is Brutally Honest.

In Kagero's supports with Takumi, after Takumi complains about her suggestion that he meditate under the waterfall, she mentions that Ryoma didn't question or complain about her suggestion. She later apologizes, but Takumi doesn't hold it against her, saying he appreciates her honesty.

Setsuna is described as a horribly tactless person.

Hana doesn't mince words. She even hurts the normally-unflappable Keaton's feelings in their B support, and has to spend a great deal of time apologizing to him.

Rinkah doesn't beat around the bush with her opinions and prefers it when people are straightforward with her in turn - even if what they say aggravates her at times.

(?) While we haven't seen what Nyx was like before she got curse, she was described as very arrogant about her skill with magic. Current Nyx can be rude and anti-social.

Azura doesn't let something like societal niceness stop her from telling someone what she thinks of them.

Despite her outwardly meek appearance, Mozu actually possesses a hidden sharp tongue and is not afraid to speak her mind, even to those of a higher status than her. This is especially shown in her supports with Takumi, in which Mozu is unusually passive-aggressive when he accidentally tramples over her garden. When Takumi offers to make up for it, Mozu outright tells him he'd be a lousy farmer.

7.) Regardless of whether or not she gets a Dark Mage class, Rhajat still dabbles in dark magic. Which is something she might inherit from Nyx along with her (former) love of cursing other people.

8.) Rhajat is a loner, preferring to stay away from others, especially those who she has no interest in.

The preference for solitude could come from Rinkah and Nyx.

What Rhajat could inherit from her possible mother in Hoshidan Festival of Bonds

If her mother is Sakura, the Hoshidan Festival of Bonds DLC reveals that she has both of her parents' Sweet Tooth. (And that no one shall get between her and her sweets.)

If she's mothered by Oboro, in the Hoshidan Festival of Bonds she says that she has both her mother's "Demon Face" and sewing skills.

Hoshidan Festival of Bonds states that a Rhajat mothered by Azura inherits her mother's talent and love of singing.

Rhajat inherits Setsuna's creepy humming.

Rhajat gets a little scatterbrained from Felicia

For the looks department I can't help there since I normally can't tell which child unit looks like who more. Anyway I'd like to hear your thoughts on who is the Most Likely, Least Likely, or Maybe Mothers for Rhajat based on Classes, looks, supports, and/or mannerisms. If there's any small facts I missed, you can comment.

My friend and I went to Tarja and Marko gig in other state but they couldn't sing because they were sick. No probs, the gig was re-scheduled to 2025. And they're recovering :)

But happened the most important thing that specific night. The goddess herself. She took a lot of pictures with the fans. We included.

Just imagine our happiness. I'm sharing this with you:

[deadrocks]

Was mad about the last book I read (Medalon by Jennifer Fallon) being so bad (to recap: hero & heroine keep falling into obvious traps, are constantly imprisoned slowing the plot to a halt, and the two of them grew up thinking they were half-siblings with a significant age gap but the goddess of love uses her powers to make them fall in love like a month after they find out they aren't), so I went and sped through The Thief's Gamble by Juliet E. McKenna.

The Thief's Gamble was better, though that wasn't a hard bar to clear. However, it suffered from trying to shove too much into one book. The villains needed more time to cook, Casuel needed the space to do more than be annoying and oblivious, and Ryshad came into the book too late for his characterization to be more than paper-thin. Livak and Ryshad's relationship dominates the rest of the series, apparently, but nothing in their time together in this book left me interested in that. I'd have much preferred the book built on what she had with Geris. "Street-smart thief/gambler and idealistic scholar" has a lot more charm than "street-smart thief/gambler and also street-smart swordsman," I think. Maybe there's a book out there like that.

Medalon, one and a half stars (the extra half star is because I did at least like Tarja).

The Thief's Gamble, three stars, because I read it right after Medalon. Fine, but not good enough to get me to continue to read the series.

If anyone has a good rec from a female author writing adult fantasy, please send it this way. I know there's more good stuff out there that's been overlooked due to the market dominance of YA over the last decade. I just have to find it.

Kinktober Day 1 - Gearing Up

Tarja knelt, naked, butt on her heels and arms bent up so her hands met her shoulders. She’d assumed this pose so many times in her life it should be routine, but still it always excited her. She was ready. The prayers were said, her body warm with anointed oils, aspirants wafted woody incense towards her, her eyes locked on the object in front of her. A small stone box, polished to match the gleam of its hidden contents. One of many, but hers alone.

She gave a nod, and the sister overseeing her transformation smoothly slid the lid off the box. Immediately, impatiently something began overflowing out of it, a black liquid, thick and viscous, almost glowing from reflected torchlight. Tarja’s heart beat faster and faster as, at odds with its initial speed, the gift of the Goddess slowly crept down a channel towards her waiting body.

All eyes in the room were locked on her as the ooze finally made contact. A freezing cold touch almost immediately giving way to comforting warmth as the liquid rubber quickly matched her body temperature, only for the same pattern to repeat again and again as it rolled its way across her body. The tight grip of the rubber worked its way up her body, flowing deep into every crevice to make sure every inch of her was safely cradled in the Goddesses embrace. Tarja let out a deep moan of satisfaction as it rolled over her chin and between her lips, pouring down her throat to encase her in and out.

Soon she dropped to her side, the first stage of her transformation done. Her encasement totally cut her off from the world around her, even the air in her lungs put there by the rubber holding her. But even still she had seen enough transformations from the outside during her own training to know exactly how she looked. A torso and head smooth and identityless, arms and legs bent double to become near useless nubs wriggling in the air. She was stripped of self, vulnerable and helpless, entrusting herself to the Goddess to build upon.

And build upon her her Goddess did. After taking a moment to set and level the rapidly congealing rubber began to tease itself outwards, stretching out like it was spreading into a mold. Long canine legs grew out from her elbows and knees, forming shins and paws while her own curled limbs made up the thighs. Across her torso rubber thickened, bulking and padding out her body to help support it in its new posture. In particular the material around her neck inflated to a thick posture collar to keep it still. Simultaneously a long whip like tail and distended muzzle unfurled out of her back and head, she could already feel the vibrations as the fangs of her new face slammed together. Once the bulk of the transformation was done and things were just settling into place she could feel a familiar touch at the back of her consciousness. Leaning on years of training she followed it, her senses and awareness leaving the meat and bone behind to spread through the living rubber. At the back of her mind she could still feel the constant, tight sensory deprivation of her base senses, but she’d long ago learned how to keep herself anchored in her extended body and not risk harming herself by trying to move her core against its bonds.

Before long what lay on the floor was no longer a mere human, but a massive, shiny black not quite canine, panting as it refamiliarized itself with its body. A Cackling Hound, the first of the beasts the Goddess created to protect her worshippers. Most saw the hound as almost a default among the Holy Beasts, a stepping stone on the way to grander forms. The nobility of a Saber, the wings of a Gargoyle, the constant, intimate bond of the small group it took to animate a Tyrant. But ever since she was a child in her home village, since she first saw that gleaming shape protectively curled around a travelling healer’s feet, Tarja knew exactly what she wanted to be.

As she pulled herself up on four raw, shaky legs, she threw back her long muzzle and laughed. Not the cruel distorted cackle her instincts drove her to use to intimidate prey, but a laugh of pure euphoric joy. She was Tarja, a Cackling Hound of the Order of The Starless Sea, trusted escort of the order’s most beloved healers, and she finally felt like herself again.

gofundme

So I’m not sure if this is the right place to put this but here it is. I started a gofundme to try and pull myself out of debt. I don’t know if it would work at all and I kind of don’t expect it to because I’m not a pushy person or popular in anyway. My full story is in the description of the gofundme post. Thanks, Kacy
