Sitting here over a year later, drunk and smoking and listening to Goblin, is the first my soul has missed you

If I was in a lucid dream with a ghost, I would simply impress them with my blunt rolling skills

[felassan]

I read a couple of your posts angry at Solas about Felassan, and thought, "wow, this guy really loves Felassan"

then I scrolled and was reminded what your username was.

hello! ◕‿◕

stanning felassan and being _(:3」∠)_ about his death since 2014

*passes everyone a "hard to swallow" pill bottle* i understand that dan and phil are highkey delighted by rpf fan content, but they have also expressed discomfort with conspiracy theories, speculation, and when fans have convinced themselves of a fake reality only to be disappointed when their headcanons don't come true.

not every joke about gay sex should be taken as a fact of their sex life. not every reference to the concept of marriage should be more ground for you to stand on at phwedding hill. not every improvised response to a tour pre-show question should be hyper-analyzed to have greater meaning about their affection for each other. dan and phil choose to not label themselves as boyfriends; we should not, with complete seriousness, convince ourselves that they are boyfriends.

we should not anticipate a "hard launch"—truthfully i hope they never ever make public the details of their relationship. they have already given us the knowledge that they are real best friends, companions through life, actual soulmates. and as a long-term phannie, this knowledge is more than we deserve!

continue making this community fun with ship art and gifs of heart eyes howell and fic events, but remember that we are now in a position to do so freely because of the boundaries dan and phil have set in place. we know that dan developed an ounce of bitterness towards intensive shippers who invaded their privacy and distorted reality. let's avoid another "that week in march" craze when we engage with the crumbs they feed us roombas. let's make sure we don't take their forgiveness for granted!

oc time again! + her town & culture (heavily inspired by pre-roman italic populations)

she is suri sauthon. her story is linked to my swtor imperial agent, tar'x, but most of her life except for the one year away where she meets him, is spent in a town in the mountains of mirial.

despite mirial being cold and desert, and many cities developing underground, her town flourishes thanks to a force nexus, venerated in the form of an ancient, sacred, alive crystal. the ecosystem of that mountain depended on what "the horned crystal" was capable of giving them, but mirialans couldn't live off of that alone, so they developed trade and some rudimental technology, even if oftentimes it was bought thanks to the highly profitable trade of a plant used to make medicines that slowed down aging and had overall healing properties.

note: everything that's generated by this nexus has these healing properties BUT they have to be processed, except for those who bathed in the waters of the cavity under the crystal - the "real" nexus, but not the worshipped one. the waters were sacred but they were not thought to be miraculous, unlike the crystal, who instead was thought of as the keystone of the ecosystem: without it, everything would fall apart (and that is partially true: the cavity was the "real" nexus but thanks to the crystal, also strong in the force, the properties were spread all over the mountains). those who bathed in the cavity's waters - so, all of the town, who had a sort of baptism there - could eat the plant, make whatever food with it, and not only that plant, but everything generated by the nexus, that, again, had similar properties. this allowed people to live up to normal life-spans without advanced medicines or, much, really. to those who didn't live there, though, after the processing, had incredible effects, slowing down aging - for those who took it regularly - and making people able to live up to half a century more than the average]

originally, there were four tribes of nomads that lived thanks to horned farm animals that decided to settle down into one bigger town and other smaller settlements, to live off of transhumance. this division of the tribes stayed into the political and social organization: every person belonged to one tribe specifically, and had slightly different rituals and culture. for examples, each tribe had their own priests and healers, with different techniques and traditions. the town, tho, was guided by a group of people in the high priesthood, a position you could reach only by having earned the trust of all tribes. those high priests had many roles: they guided the people into sacred processions common to all the tribes, they managed the trading with outsiders, they did the maintenance of the temple of the summit (the one that functioned as casket to the crystal) and created a special liquid to offer the crystal that helps it grow.

this particular temple was important because 1. it was very visible, from every angle of the town, and it became an important identity symbol; 2. it stored the venerated horned crystal; 3. it had the altar where sacrifices were made for the crystals. that altar had a hole connected to the cavity, that allowed the liquids to reach the underground; 4. it had various symbols: statues representing each tribe + the high priesthood, and typical mirialan tattoos carved into the wood of the trees that served as columns for the temple, symbolizing 8 values that who dared to enter HAD to have; 5. it was on the way to an important lake (called "mother lake" because the lake the town was built around to depended on the waters of that other lake) where they traveled to in important processions; 6. it was said that a the wizard who unified the tribes made it with its magic, making the plant grow to hold the temple's roof. this wizard was, actually, a force user, obv.

BACK TO HER THOUGH: she's daughter of one of the high priests, who was in charge of managing the trades with outsiders, and lives in a house on the mountains with her mother and him. her parents are from different tribes (that's one of the things that earned him trust from the 4 tribes): when a child is born from two different tribes, they don't pick one to allign to, but they're usually linked automatically to the one with more relatives in it (in her case, the father's tribe: she had many uncles and aunts on his side while her mom only had one sister).

later, though, she got quite tied to her mother's tribe due to a mysterious illness that only her mother's tribe healer was able to cure. she spent 4 years (from 10 to 14 years old) living with the healer and learned her secrets. to better study, she wrote them down. when she returned home, she studied to become a priestess with her father. at 22 (the average age: you can't become priest before your 20s), she was supposed to take a test and become a priestess, but the healer of her mother's tribe died and the tribe asked her to take her place. she couldn't technically do that, but both tribes estimated both her and her parents and she was allowed to become both. she then decided to try to become a high priestess, and became one at 25 (a quite young age). being part of the council, she tried to convince the various tribe healers to unite their knowledges and write them down, and eventually made it. healers still remained tribe based but they now had an "upper, inter-tribe level" similar to high priesthood.

years later, the sacred horned crystal is stolen from the temple by some Hutt mercenaries looking for a profit. given the trust she has earned from all the tribes and the fact that her father is the high priest that deals with outsiders (and she's been hearing stories and advice about it since she was little), she is the one tasked with getting it back. without the growing crystal, the keystone to their ecosystem, the village would have lasted only a few years. in hrr quest, she meets imperial intelligence agent tar'x laran and, as they "solve the mystery" and fight to have it back, they get closer. they'll get married and have a daughter, Vegoia (who's the only one who actually will get to the plot of my story. this was all background)

I’ve already made a post about Rafe keeping Thomas’s book of hours, but also saving his portrait? Wahhh

he kept all these things safe for decades and decades (almost exactly half a century) after Cromwell’s execution - he must’ve really looked after them. Then his family continued to do the same :(

It's so fucking great when all the siblings have the exact same brainrot

I love hearing The Wisdom Saga playing at random from different areas of the house because my sisters are blasting it. They're just like me fr 😭💜

Sometimes I feel like people in the queer community will course correct way too hard when trying to be better people than those before them, and end up repeating the cycle that oppressed them in an attempt to be “respectful” and not give the community a bad name. That type of rhetoric perpetuates the puritanical ideas that have kept our community in chains for years, and trying to put people in neat categories will not make the world want you anymore than it already does. You don’t get revolution and change with conformity or palatability, you get it with being unabashed and making others realize they can’t just ignore you anymore. Quote from my therapist “If the others around you aren’t going to challenge their own beliefs, you’re going to have to do it for them.”

Things like asexuality, non-binary identities, flexible presentation, bi and pansexuality, and being able to love and exist the way you want to are valid.

So are things like queer people being able to be sexual, identities not having labels, people not wanting to label themself, people not wanting to talk about the queerness, someone identifying in ways that may seem contradictory, or just not having presentation the way you’d expect someone of a certain label to have. Humans are creatures of habit who love to put things in boxes, for liberation we must be able to break those boxes and realize that our community as a whole isn’t cut and dry, and that it’s okay for things to be a bit messy.

yeah the biden quote about japan/korea IS pulled out of context but the context doesn't make it much better in my opinion ksdgjslkjglskjg

[lunar-wandering]

I genuinely think so many people have forgotten the fact of "there are no toxic fandoms, only toxic people".

When fandoms get big, of course the amount of people u want nothing to do with is also gonna get bigger.

Youre not meant to combat them. Youre not meant to talk about them and expose others to them.

Youre meant to block them at the first signs and continue to enjoy your experience interacting with other people.

Kill the weeds, don't let the seeds spread, reap your wheat and enjoy your bread.

I loved the cowboy comic so much that I wrote a oneshot for it. https://archiveofourown.org/works/50934235 🥺 your art is BEYOND amazing, ty for the food

[plushie-lovey]

Alright so. I'm getting into junk journaling. At least, I'm going to try to! I have a plan to start myself off with 2, one for personal/random shit so I don't feel so confined, and one focused on my plushies!! Not every one of my plushies will get a page but I will dedicate a page to whoever inspires me in a particular moment. I may not share every page right away. But if I fill in an entire journal I will try to show the finished results of what I created! I will also be doing this at my leisure because this new hobby is an outlet for my creatively and mainly my emotions. Shout out to @ cafe-mouse for inspiring me
