AAAAH! You're reading the Pern books!! Is it for the first time? If it is I'm so excited for you, they were some of my fav books as a teenager and are still my fav comfort reads.

I am! And it is!!! They're my big brother's favourite books, he used to read them with his mom before she passed and so it holds a very dear place in his heart, and I finally made the long awaited, full of love move of reading them!

I'm reading them not in parution order but in chronological order, and it's the first big temporal jump i've had (like, first interval to second pass wasn't really a big stretch) so yeah I have to accept that I have to leave a lot of the older culture behind :(. Leaving Sorka behind had already been such a heartbreak, but the memories of Benden and Boll and Keroon and Tillek and and and. Well you know.

Anyway my partner jumped at the occasion of a new, really beautiful new french edition, and they make me so happy to just look at!!

i don't drink and i don't make bingo cards, but here are some of the dragonriders of pern experiences

description of music/the importance of music and song

insisting smaller dragons are important and essential, but any male candidate we're supposed to really like has to Impress bronze

horse girl shenanigan

someone performs a gusty sigh

dragons bugling

anyone we're not supposed to like is cartoonishly evil

portraying a forced kiss (or more) as ultimately okay and romantic and it's fine because the girl is into it after a second or two

being weird about women but in that specific 70s feminist way

can't decide whether or not dragons remember people's names and what it means if they do/don't

pointing out a dragonrider's love interest to the reader by having the dragon talk to them

klah

benden wine (especially vs tillek wine)

insisting a job that dragons or fire lizards could do much better/faster than other methods would not be replaced by dragons/fire lizards doing it (varying degrees of plausibility)

age gap romance (average of 10 years)

getting weird about ~bloodlines~ and ~genes~

anne gets lost in the world building for a minute and you keep having to ask when the plot is coming back

being weird about gay people (and green dragons)

anne mccaffrey did some level of research about a topic and is so eager to tell you about it

high reaches weyr never catches a break

if a woman doesn't want to have children something is wrong with her (but also she does not need to raise them, that's fine)

the pseudomedieval feudalist society is fine because if someone mean is in charge you just replace them with someone nice and it's fine it's fine it's fine it's fine

calling a dog a canine/a cat a feline/a horse a runnerbeast

For the fandom ask, Dresden files & Dragonriders of Pern!

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:

Favorite character: Donald Morgan

Least favorite character: Thomas Raith

5 favorite ships: Donald Morgan/Justin DuMorne, Simon Pietrovich/Donald Morgan, Donald Morgan/OC, Donald Morgan/Anastasia Luccio, Paolo Ortega/ Anyone

Character I find the most attractive: Justin DuMorne

Character I would marry: This is a hard one but probably... Simon Pietrovich. I adore the others but he seems the most grounded.

Character I would be best friends with: Luccio, I too love a good database.

A random thought: I wish more stories focused on characters other than Dresden. It's why the short stories are so much fun to read.

An unpopular opinion: The White Court is the absolute worst group in the series. I can understand murder but rape is unforgivable.

Canon OTP: Morgan/Luccio

Fanon OTP: Harry/Marcone

Most badass character: Nicodemus or Gard

Pairing I'm not a fan of: Thomas/Justine I hate both these characters and hate them together even more.

Character I feel the writer screwed up: Ebenezer McCoy, he is either a villain or absolutely incompetent as written.

Favorite friendship: Harry and the Alphas

Character I want to adopt: Mouse, 1000% the best boy!

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:

Favorite character: Menolly

Least favorite character: Camo, not his fault he just brings up bad memories

5 favorite ships: Menolly/Robinton, Menolly/Sebell, Lessa/F'lar (post Dragonflight), Sorka/Sean, Jim Tillek/Theo Force

Character I find the most attractive: Robinton

Character I would marry: (I'm cheating on this one a bit) Whatever dragon would want me as it's rider

Character I would be best friends with: Joel Lilienkamp, I too am insane and like inventory management

A random thought: dragonriders don't marry because no bond can come close to the one with their dragon.

Unpopular opinion: I actually like Todd's books too

Canon OTP: F'lar/Lessa

Fanon OTP: Robinton/ Menolly

Most badass character: Ramoth, seriously give the girl more screentime!

Pairing I'm not a fan of: Kylara/Meron, because fuck that guy. Dishonorable mention goes to Sharra/Jaxom, She could do so much better than his dumbass.

Character I feel the writer screwed up the most: So so many due to the writer's very obvious biases. F'nor, Kylara, Brekke, F'lar in Dragonflight, Mardra, Nemorth, and most of all poor Jora. (If you ever want to see Jora written well and done justice to I can't recommend Bitter Herbs by MzMinola highly enough)

Favorite friendship: Ruth and the firelizards

Character I want to adopt: Prideth or Wirenth, the writer did you you two so very dirty and you deserve better than you got. I just want to wrap them in blankets and feed them buckets of chicken soup.

My Collages!!

Starting to develop my ideas and think about Processes!

Because I was looking at themes of memory and layering I decided to look at collage as a starting point to try and get ideas out. I made these using materials I had at home, mainly newspaper, packaging and receipts as well as gouache paints and ink markers. I really really liked how these turned out.

Collage Artists

Jackie Parsons

Images taken from:

I love Jackie Parson’s collages! The really inspired me to take a more dreamy and colourful approach to making collages.

Tilleke Schwarz



More of Tilleke Schwarz’s work here:

One of my personal favourite artists is Tilleke Schwarz, she’s a textile artist and I love how she layers and combine: different things from pop culture to moments from daily life into one canvas. I think it’s a very unique way of layering that has inspired me in my work.

The need for sophisticated travel services that cater specifically to business needs has never been higher.

Additionally, serviced apartments are becoming popular for long-term stays, offering a home-like environment with the conveniences of a hotel.

In Myanmar, this includes reliable car rental services, chauffeur services, and even domestic flights for travel between cities.

Health Precautions: Ensure you have the necessary vaccinations and travel insurance. Myanmar's healthcare system is improving, but having comprehensive insurance provides peace of mind.

It's Friday, 26th of June, I have a French class, but I didn't not enter the zoom. Instead, I am sitting there and writing the letter which I tend to send you on the August of 2024 - the month that I plan to leave Tilleke&Gibbins because right at this moment, the recognition is coming across me and my feeling is laid embarrassingly bare.

I am not sure if you like being written letter to, but I remembered chi Hang once said that you had been the one appreciating the sincere emotions and getting happy when receiving thankful letters from your students. Therefore, I guess you would not feel disturbed with me for giving you this letter and if you do, I will not be there anymore anyway. On the other hand, I believe that nowadays people rarely receive letters, and I still think it must be fun to have one (or maybe two when the writer is me) for yourself. And I promise you, I am trying to write this one rightfully and I hope that you could feel special about yourself. Have I been talking too much already? Maybe I do because I possess the talkative nature and maybe I do because there are so many things that I wish you knew while there are so many walls that I could not break though.

I am sorry if you think I took things too seriously and too personally. I know I do, the problem is that, I always do, that is the reason why I have to wait until I am completely not there anymore and every chance of getting embarrassed about myself is totally eliminated.

We will start simple, "You are the one that I like. It is a frank and simple truth.

(All of my information comes from rereading Dragonsdawn last month, but I think a bunch of this stuff is on the wiki as well. I should also note that I don't know the first thing about wine, so this is solely based on what I've read in Pern.)

So first things first, Pern naturally has an extremely high boron content. It's actually one of the big things that separates Pernese flora/fauna from Terran (aside from the triple-helix DNA. Thanks, Todd). So we don't really need to worry about the boron content.

The second big thing is that, when Pern was being colonized, they brought a lot of Terran plants and animal embryos that they were going to adapt to Pernese conditions. Runnerbeast is the common term for livestock, most of which are direct descendants of cows and pigs, but also notably horses (as seen in Moreta). I had to look up the name, but the first Lord Holder of Benden (chief winemakers) was Rene Mallibeau, a guy with a very French name and stakes named after Italian locations (both Terran locations known for their wine). In Dragonsdawn, it's mentioned multiple times that Mallibeau was looking for places to claim land that would have the right clime and geographic formations to make wine. I believe it is also mentioned that he brought grape varieties with him, but this idea is further supported by the fact that Kitti Ping brought certain trees for her tea.

As far as varieties, they never mention specific names the way we have such varieties as Cabernet, Pinot Noir, etc. However, there seems to be four on Pern: Benden white & red, and Tillek white & red (I think Tillek wines are mentioned in other books, but they are mostly favored by Moreta, as opposed to the rest of the planet who prefer Benden). Red Star Rising (or Dragonseye) opens with a Benden Gather, mentioning that they were developing new strains, but they're not named beyond the standard year. It should be mentioned that, while Benden flavors were full and broad, Tillek wines all had a specific aftertaste that most people found disconcerting, and was caused by the would composition in Tillek vineyards.

The best way to answer some of these questions would be to read Dragonsdawn, but I will say that there is no mention of rare wines beyond particular years. They might have said things about how the vines were adapted, and I think they might have mentioned new Pernese-exclusive varieties, but it would have been a passing comment and there won't be much info on that.

Going insane about the fact that they have wine on Pern, like

How do the planet's conditions influence the wine??? Did the colonists have to adapt the species as a whole?? Did it adapt on its own? How do the elements in the soil affect the taste?? The seasons? Sunlight?? Are there completely new varieties and cultivars that would be impossible on earth?? Are there rare wines reserved for special occasions that can only be made from grapes grown on Thread-fertilized soil??

Edit:

People might think of me as the pretty girl, the "token model" on the show, that I'm young and naive. But I want my tribemates to underestimate me. I want them to think I'm just a pretty face, but I know I'm not.

I'm a Survivor superfan. I know every trick, I've seen it all, and I'm ready to play my own game. I don't think they'll see me coming.
