thinking thoughts thinking thoughts thinking thoughts th—

what if irulanne was from the same clan as m*erril but raised a city elf since she was found in that crypt

what if she’s from the al*erion on her moms side and a l*avellan on her dads

what if lhysas father (an assassin just like his daughter lhysaa <33) had allies in his days as an assassin a pariah of his family

what if he wasn’t the only one that was betrayed when a thing went topsy turvy (will be getting to how that went down eventually !!!!!)

what if lhysas father moved on from lúthien the mother of the inky and her brother (she sort of went *poof* for reasons of her own that golly i need to write all of this down jdnxgcg i mean tungle post is a good place to start dnbxgxg)

what if unbeknownst to irulanne her and lhys and feanorian are half sibs what if her mother gave birth to iru and hid her in the crypt what if they found her and thought her to not have magic at first so she was raised by the elder of the alienage. (her mother was likely to have passed on as well poor iru 🥀🥲)

what if they kept an eye anyway knowing the bloodline she hailed from (lonans line lhysa and feanorians line has a STORY if there ever was one i will yell about it soon prommy !!!!!) and low and behold none too long later her magic manifested what if they waited a while more until she built her network of little creatures she reanimated that relayed her things and gaggle of friends what if she had a kingdom of her own and she refused

what if she was thrown under a bloody ritual to wipe her memories so that all she knew was the sisters a sort of sect of necromancers within the mourners that had their own ideas and machinations and saw her as their heir of sorts??

what if it was like she was to be some sort of lich queen…thing(?) ruling the living and the dead from the necropolis and that it went topsy turvy (to irulannes benefit ubeknownst to her at the time!!) when the thing happened and that whole her having a mage heir to rule was merely a side thing that if it happened cool but the main goal was the lich queen thing.

what if feanorian was in the area for a reason or another (maybe i can think of that with emms episode !!) he’s looking for the rook on behalf of lhysa who has her ex to thwart/save and a demigod daughter to raise etc etc (things i am planning to yell about later oo there’s so much to yell about with lhysa but this is a iru lore essay <3)

what if the prodigy to gifted kid burnout between lucanne (heir to bloodline etc etc luca and child of nothing destined to inherit everything irulanne) made me insane <3

hey! I lurk sometimes on your blog and I was wondering what a/your Red Tent is? :)

many well wishes!

I got this right as I logged on to procrastinate finding an opening poem for the RT this week 🤣 Thank you for the assistance.

A Red Tent, Moon Lodge, or Women's Circle, can have a lot of variation based on who's running it. At its most basic level, it is a meeting where women can just exist together, without the expectation to perform for men. Because women act very differently when we are truly outside of men's presence.

Some are just that, without really anything else added. Mine is more spiritual in nature and fairly structured. It's an event, rather than a get together. We have a topic or theme each meeting in which we discuss something important to women's wellbeing. One was on Divine Female Rage. We had one on connecting to your female body through movement and breath. This year is focused on an exploration of the Divine Feminine Archetypes (The Queen is this Sunday!) Future meetings will include the conceptualizion and healing of the womb space, and healing the Mother Wound.

We do things like allow everyone to present art and writing. We sing and chant together. We have a radical listening exercise, which usually results in a lot of tears because it's an incredible release to just be heard - and then we usually hug it out lol! We eat. We laugh. We talk. We challenge each other and debate, and we come to agreements and smile.

Of course, the celebration of and education on the female body are also critical cornerstones! That's the "red" in Red Tent, the "moon" in Moon Lodge. Body shaming is absolutely not allowed and we LOUDLY correct each other over that. No apologies! No shame! We talk about the weird hairs and the bumps and the chunks and the amazing things our bodies can do.

In the future, we may add Women's Rites and Rituals to mark important events in our lives. For example, I did a mothering ceremony for one of our members. New homes, new businesses, degrees...there aren't established Rites for those and I want to start them.

It is a space for women, by women, about women. Often, it's accused of being a man-hating event, but the truth is we rarely talk about men. The patriarchy, yes, but not men. Men just can't fathom we have anything to talk about but them 😉

It's also a place to heal the divisions that are forced on women to keep us from class consciousness. I'm a business-minded childfree woman. I absolutely don't allow pronatalist rhetoric in my Circle. I also absolutely do not allow the denigration of mothers. I (white) am getting a consultant to help me make sure I'm properly supporting BIPOC women in my group. We're GED-PhD (literally). All religions, all cultures, all creeds - I want to tear down the walls and make a road. Lofty ideals, but I mean them sincerely.

So that's probably a bit of a meandering answer but it's an honest one. I can go more into the history and stuff if you want, too.

"camp" party

Cover dates are one month apart. The first one is apparently a Riverdale - Midvale mixer, and Jughead is dancing with Josie as Betty dances with Albert.

I see that post of funny alternatives for "I'm gonna kms" and I'm gonna say the two that are like . The only alternatives I can get to stick . Are from memes or comedy vids

"This time I'm really gonna do it" (important to not clarify what 'it' is) and "I'm going to piss my own ass" are going to save me
