#to have its bowels cleansed

[leothelionsaysgrrrr]

Been making some edits to The Swim Upstream to get myself interested in writing more and…uh

…totally forgot that I surreptitiously wrote Reyes Vidal into my Dragon Age fic, as an Antivan smuggler captain picking up Rex’s drunk ass in a bar…

Hey! Hope you’ve been well. I know you smell incredibly well, so I need your tips. Please, what do I need to smell good all through the day, everyday? How do I know what scent I like and would fit me? What steps do you take and what are your favourite scents? Thank you!

Hi! I love this question

Smelling good starts from the inside : make sure your gut is functioning properly (are you having daily bowel movements?), support lymphatic drainage by moving everyday even if its just walks, drink water and other mineral rich drinks such as herbal infusions or broths, add chlorophyll to your water from time to time, and have a mindfulness practice that you do everyday (stress greatly impacts our body odor!)

Then, when it comes to your daily hygiene, use soaps/gels that don’t interfere too much with your skin’s microbiome, as that can also cause bad body odor, even if the soap/gel smells nice! I recommend the oil cleanser by la roche posay « Lipikar », followed by a neutral shower gel for further cleansing. Use a feminine unscented wash for your intimates and don’t forget your butt too lol, the Rael gel is lovely for that. Exfoliate your body once or twice a week.

Do armpit detoxes : clay + acv and rinse when it dries. You can do this once a week, and then bi-weekly or monthly for maintenance.

Instead of using deodorants, I suggest swiping a very gentle aha/bha toner it neutralizes odor and helps with brightening your underarms. I tend to use pure musk after that as well, just for the scent.

As for knowing which scent suits you, try out different perfumes until you find one that literally merges perfectly with your natural body’s scent. When you find it you will know, because it’ll actually feel like second skin, you won’t be able to get enough of it. Once you find it, look up the notes and start experimenting with other perfumes that have similar notes, then you’ll have found your « niche » :)

Any Nortalice hurt/comfort aus or the different skins/cosmetics 🤔

hehehhehehehhehhehhehhehhehehhhehehhehehehhehheheh

🙈🙈🙈🙈here are some from THAT au 😈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

So in this au tensions are HIGH and discomfort is MUCH

So this round is gonna be physical hurt in an AU

------

I am gonna start slow here with this one and then its gonna escalate LOL

1 Scene: Norton in extreme pain, as Alice trying to help him

I may have talked about this first one before, but In this first situation Norton is in the main hub city of the humans where Alice lives and works. He had to go through the process of the biological altering so he could enter the city and not be giant sized (this is why I sometimes call it the Zentradi au cause those aliens are giant and they can go through these biology altering processes to become human and return back to their true forms through the same process. anyways pff)

In this Au that process aftermath is a terror on their bodies. So with Norton he can barely move as the body aches and pain are practically unbearable. Once Alice gets him home to her place he is just sick in the bathroom for HOURS and is just in the worst of states. Vertigo, Fever, absolute cleanse session of the bowels and stomach, the body and joint pains, etc. Alice is trying her best to help in anyway she can, but all they can really do is wait it out for Norton's body to get used to the major alterations of his biology. (the humans could put more time and tech into making the process better, buuut they don't 🙃 cause 'time and efforts must be spent elsewhere' ...lame-os )

Frederick goes through this process often so once Norton is well enough to just sit up and talk, he is baffled that Frederick puts up with this all the time. (He comes to the city and leaves pretty often orz.) Alice is sitting next to Norton on the floor leaned up against the wall facing the toilet "I wondered if it was something one could get used to over time but....after worrying over you all these hours...I no longer think that." Norton: "I wonder what is driving Frederick so hard that he thinks all this pain is worth it...." Alice: "I actually wanted to ask you the same thing....you should have said no about coming here...You knew it was going to be a bad experience for you...but you came anyway...why?" Norton: "I can't let you solve this thing alone...and....I thought it would be nice.." Alice: "? what would be?" Norton: "to...erm.....sit beside each other....and...walk side by side together...and...-clears throat- have your hand fit nice in mine...." Alice smiles and places her gloved hand in his "does my hand fit nice in yours~?" Norton does a tiny extremely tired smile and interlocks his fingers with hers, "..yea" -but suddenly lets go to be sick, bent over the potty-bowl- Alice hurries after him and just rubs his back "......"

------------------

Scene 2: Norton unconscious and Alice is trying to wake him up before the Mystery Mech catches up to them

They are back outside of the city and Norton is back to his true biology and height and all that.

(the size difference is like this kinda)

Norton just got absolutely launched from a hit and then explosion from this 'random' hostile mech that is targeting both him and Alice (they are getting too close to the truth) So in an effort to protect Alice, Norton completely takes the hit and explosion that was launched at them. It was enough to send Norton's giant self flying and the mech to fly backwards, short circuit, and temporarily shut down from its pilot ignoring the overload warnings.

Alice scrambles through the dust and debris trying to find Norton, using her half working vehicle to get through. She spots him just as her little vehicle is about to break to pieces so she aims the thing and punches the power and launches her in Norton's direction, crashing into the ground next to him.

Norton is laid out in a heap on his back, unconscious.

She runs over to his face, that is lulled off to the side luckily so she see him properly, and checks for breathing, which, thankfully his is. "Norton, I need you to wake up!" -pulling his eyelid up- "NORTON" -she moves to start whacking his forehead- "NORTON!!" -the mech can be heard powering up again- Alice: "NORTOOOOOOONN!!!!" -she turns and presses her back against his forehead several times like she is trying to open a door- (sure give him more head trauma lol)

-The mech can be heard moving again-

"SHIT NORTON! WAKE UP!!"

".......language....." -Norton slowly opens his eyes, finally able to say that to her for once. Since it was always her telling him to watch his dang language lol-

Alice laughs in relief and stands where she can see his eyes "Thank goodness~"

-The mech starts shooting off random explosives with not rhyme or reason, Causing Norton to suddenly sit up and realize what is going on-

Alice: "Right! WE need to GO!!"

Norton nods, gets up and grabs Alice in his hands and books it out of there to hide deeper in the forest

They end up loosing the mech and able to rest for once in like 24 hours. So, Norton takes a seat and rests up against a tree (Note: this world fits Norton and his people since it is their planet, its the humans that invaded. So its a regular tree for him. ANYWAY)

Alice is standing on his open palms as he holds her steady

Norton: "mmm...you have some cuts and bruises...I'm sorry..." Alice: "Could have been worse, you shouldn't have thrown yourself into the line of fire like that..." Norton: "...I should have and I am glad I did." Alice: "What if all that had killed you? It destroyed your headgear...you're bleeding terribly...." Norton: "hm.....All I knew is that you wouldn't have been able to survive that...at least for me there was an 'if'..." Alice: "I........well........mm......thank you..." Norton: "....no point on dwelling on it, we made it and that is what matters." Alice: "lets get you somewhere with medical supplies, we can't trust a hospital" Norton: "hmm, I think I know a place, let's--" he pauses when he sees Alice extending her hands up to him- -Norton, knowing what this means by now, lowers his head and brings her up closer to him so they can rest foreheads together- -Alice rests against him and pets his nose- "truly....thank you, Norton..." Norton: "...........sure" -nuzzles against her-

--------------------------

Scene 3: Alice terribly injured

Norton rushing around the area trying to find Alice. He is in a panic after seeing the events that transpired from a far and ran as fast as he could to get to her.

He spots her and falls to his hands and knees over her, "Alice??"

She is just laying there, bleeding out

Pulling out a device, he scans her body to collect all the injuries and data, and it further confirms that she is in critical condition.

Carefully, Norton scoops her up in his hands and runs to the nearest healing sanctuary for humans, and of course its abandoned by the time he gets there due to tensions between races getting a little too high by this point. He maneuvers Alice into the crook of his arm to free up is other arm so he can rip the roof off of the building so can see what he has access to.

"UGH! I don't know what any of this F**KING IS!!!" -He eyes what he thinks could be beds, but there is this dome over each of them, he notes they are connected to a machine and familiarity starts kicking in- "this could be one of those--" -he clumsily messes with the machine's little buttons and by some miracle it turns on and the dome lifts with a hiss as the tech begins awakening. Norton then lays Alice onto the bed and the dome closes over her. It assess the damage and gets to work, giving her shots, blood, stitches, everything she needs, much to Norton's relief-

-He hates human tech because its often painful and works at the bare minimum for him and his kind (and he thinks that is on purpose), but it is a good thing that it works so well for humans and Alice happens to be one-

He will have to sit there and wait for the machine to do its thing, then wake and release Alice.

Once she wakes up and is able to step out of the healing sanctuary she will groan rather groggily which catches Norton's attention. He turns and lets out the loudest sigh of relief, prompting Alice to smile up at him.

-Alice: "I should have listened to you....about that being a trap." -Norton: "Yes you should have....I am glad I followed behind..." -Alice: "judging by where I am right now, I am glad too." -she starts getting hazy flashbacks of being surrounded by doctors and medical speech and sounds, becoming visibly unnerved- -Norton: "...Alice?" -Alice: "I....." -She starts looking around her like she is seeing shadows of the past- "Something......I......" -looking around more frantically- -Norton now getting concerned again- "Alice??" -This snapping Alice's attention back up to him blinking several times- "Norton....I...need you.." -Norton swallows hard- "I'm sorry I can't be there beside you...." Alice: "but you can hold me. Please" -Norton reaches for her as she climbs into his hands and he brings her up to him, to hug her to him- "...is this alright..?" -Alice grabbing onto the fabrics of his clothes- "its perfect...and warm.... Thank you"

Could you please say more about Judas and Jesus being shown *giving birth* in medieval art??? This is blowing my mind in the best way

This has been rotting in my inbox for so long, my deepest apologies, Thank you for giving me a proper excuse to talk about this.

Also, not a scholar so don't take this as gospel. (lol)

TW: suicide, crucifixion, birth, gore?

First, a little bit of history about C-sections during the 15th century. They were only performed if the mother was dead and the child was still believed to be alive, a last resort. The Jewish people at the time did not view it positively, as it was deemed not natural. However, Christians saw the survival of a C-section as a miracle of sorts. Also, there were rising tensions between the Catholic Church and Everyone Else because of a fear of religious corruption. In this, C-sections became politicized, christians born from C-sections were considered miracles, however they viewed C-sections from jewish people to be of the devil. So, thus we have our Judas and Jesus in the eyes of the church.

Jesus & the Church & Motherhood.

Medieval Christians became obsessed with Jesus' side wound, trying to figure out a meaning. Early female medieval writers saw a connection between his wound and it being described as 'spilling blood and water'. Which also continued into his maternity, as Jesus gave birth to the church:

His side wound became so significant, that it was being drawn separately from him, vertically. A vulva. This image was put in prayer books to meditate on, drawn on pregnancy girdles to ensure a healthy birth. Almost worshiping the wound separately from Jesus because it held a different significance.

Birth from Jesus depicts a version of rebirth as well as a tribute to motherhood and its attributed sacrifices. It's becoming anew, filled with the holy spirit or whatever. Cleansed of your sins. Definitely viewed in a heroic, or miracle-like, manner to call back.

Jesus' birthing also serves to have him surpass gender, becoming something holy by not adhering to normal gender roles. Congratulated for exploring gender, and this would continue with later saints.

Judas & the Antichrist.

So, some attribute this depiction of his death to a combination of Judas' mentioned hanging and a bursting of bowels (Matthew 27:5 and Acts 1:18).

However, as previously mentioned due to the tensions at the time, C-sections were not held in high favor among the Jewish at the time. Early christians also knew this, knowing it’s shameful and being relatively antisemitic, we now have Judas getting a C-section. I think it would add to his death for medieval artists since he was supposed to be the Biggest Bad. Usually, I assume they’re trying to shame him in death with the many depictions of combining his ‘deaths’ and in general trying to make him look like the worst person ever. Very much spitting on the grave. Although, in this painting, I'm not sure who the devil is pulling out? It is either Judas' soul or the antichrist. Either way, very much impure.

The End.

So yeah, Judas and Jesus are back at it diametrically opposing each other because one is inherently evil and the other good. To me, it's so fun to watch them run around and be political puppets and propaganda. I think it's the dedication that gets me, they were so committed to having This Guy be good or evil they made them both pregnant.

🔥 i don't have topic in mind just go off

oof that's dangerous lol. i'll leave the heavy unpopular opinions for another time.

so i'll go with a softer one - cw frank poo talk

people who say they have IBS bc they take a long shit after a heavy meal, or more than one shit a day: talk to me when you've attended your friend's wedding (as a bridesmaid no less) with like the worst stomach pain of your life, belly ballooned out so far you have to pose for pretty photos while looking eleven months pregnant, having to run to the bathroom at least once an hour but you just CANNOT for the life of you take that shit. so it sits in there and gurgles especially loudly while your friend's dad is giving an emotional wedding speech to the point where people around the table are looking at you like you can fucking control your gastric system singing the song of its people and you end the day feeling exhausted and feverish and STILL can't pass the damn thing. you spend the entire celebratory breakfast the next morning in the bathroom in this tiny cafe where its so obvious where you are and what you're (trying to) do, struggling through the two hour train ride home with cramps like hell, get home and go straight to bed and take five laxatives and pray for that shit to pass (literally) - still no joy, just more cramps, gurgling and what feels like the crown of a pineapple nudging at your arsehole. so you literally almost crawl to the pharmacist across the street and beg for something to get you going. pharmacist takes one look at you and goes into the back and silently places a box of sachets on the counter, tells you to take one "and wait." doesn't explain what they are, you're so desperate you don't care, you go home and mix that up with some robinson's squash and then go back to bed. and so intensifies the cramps, so grows the pineapple, and you feel so fucking ill you're convinced at this point that you're dying, so you look at the packet again and see that mr edgelord pharmacist has given you a PRESCRIPTION ONLY BOWEL CLEANSE intended to be given to people the night before a colonoscopy. AND IT STILL ISNT FUCKING WORKING.

so at this point you call 111 crying bc you're convinced the pineapple arse baby is going to explode inside you and you're going to die of poo sepsis which is just a really unsexy way to go and you can't deal with that being your cause of death, and they tell you to get yourself to a&e right away which you do at like 5am at this point, so you get an uber to the hospital and the receptionist TRIES to tell you to go home and wait for it to pass but you're not having any of it (your memory is fuzzy aside from being taken into the back and pacing around wailing bc you can't sit down, have you ever tried to sit down on a pineapple arse baby, it's like what i imagine using a potato as a butt plug without lube would feel like), and you are probably left pacing and wailing for like 2 hours, bc this is the UK at 6am on a sunday and there's probably one doctor in the entire hospital who (understandably) doesn't think your pineapple arse baby is comparatively important; and your vitals are all fine which buys you probably another hour of pacing and wailing, and when the doctor finally comes through they brusquely finger your arse without even buying you a snack first and declare that "the rectum feels empty" like you're here for fun, and then return with a box of movicol (powdered laxatives) and tell you to go home. in what is possibly your finest and coolest moment to date you beg for an enema because you already sank a half pack of movicol (you always have a supply in your IBS cupboard bc you have one of those) and a prescription only fucking bowel cleanse and the doctor looks at you like you've come to a&e with a cut finger and tells you "it's just your IBS, wait for it to pass and see your GP tomorrow."

so you go home in an uber crying your racing heart out and sitting on your thighs while the concerned driver asks if you want to go back to the hospital and you declare no because its JUST YOUR IBS AND YOURE OVERREACTING (you may have told the driver this) and you crawl back up the stairs to your flat and go to bed and wait to die

three hours later the things my bathroom saw - well, sensitive readers may find the details disturbing so i'll omit them. but the pineapple arse baby passed over a period of about four long hours and i did not leave that bathroom the same person i was when i came in. i am actually only half joking. this was such a horrendous experience i actually had a nightmare or two about it. and now every time i have a bad ibs-c flare up, i get so anxious about this happening again i have had actual panic attacks.

... do all of this THEN come tell me you have IBS. take some imodium for your carbonara, white wine and gelato induced loose stool and stfu you little bitch.

Book Review - Wild Witchcraft by Rebecca Beyer

I’ve seen a few reviews on this book already, but I wanted to share my own opinion, as I finished Wild Witchcraft quite recently. Everything is under the cut!

*Note: writing with proper capitalization in this post because the content’s more formal :)

I would rate this book a solid 8 out of 10. I’ve seen some people rate it a bit higher, but I’m sticking with this score for a few reasons that I’ll explain.

Overall, Wild Witchcraft is a great resource for people who practice (or want to learn about) green witchcraft and herbalism. The author, Beyer, includes profiles of many different herbs common in America, including poisonous ones (on which she designates a separate section for). She gives information on their magical uses, their folklore & history, and their medicinal uses. Additionally, she has a lot of information on growing & foraging herbs, handling poisonous plants safely, and crafting different recipes (tinctures, salves, oils, etc.). Another thing I really like about Wild Witchcraft that’s especially important to mention is that Beyer repeatedly stresses the respect for Indigenous people & POC that white witches & herbalists living in North America should have; she also notes that their traditions have contributed largely to American folk magics and herbalism in general. Lastly, the bibliography for Wild Witchcraft is quite large and well put-together — a wealth of resources in itself.

Unfortunately, Wild Witchcraft has its drawbacks, and should be read critically like any book on witchcraft. I take two points off out of ten for two reasons — one point for the unnecessary emphasis on the Wiccan Wheel of the Year, and one point for an instance of potential medical misinformation. Beyer spends a lot of time going over recipes and spells that correspond with dates on the Wheel of the Year without explicitly denoting it as a Wiccan calendar. This incorrectly assumes that the reader is Wiccan or follows the Wheel of the Year, as well as perpetuates the conflation of witchcraft and Wicca. Also, there is one (perhaps more — I’d have to reread) instances where Beyer recommends an unnecessary and unsafe herbal remedy. She recommends ingesting a tincture made from black walnut as a “parasite cleanse”. You do not need to cleanse your bowels of parasites unless you have a parasitic infection, in which case you should speak to a licensed doctor for further testing and prescription medication.

That's all! Feel free to add your own thoughts about Wild Witchcraft to the post :)

[deuterosapiens]

So, the foreshadowing in this game is again, subtle as always. Cid's near-fall on the bridge was the moment where I said, "yeah, Cid dies here," and lo!, Cid dies here.

Joshua's return is really not too surprising. Phoenixes aren't exactly known for staying dead, are they? His discount-Roxas look works for me.

Am I cursed to enjoy every single Ifrit fight this game has to offer? Because once again, Ifrit v. Typhon brought me so much joy, and it's a wonderful palate-cleanse after the Akashic Dragon which, while not a particularly unenjoyable fight, the Cannonier before it can bite me, simply lacked the scale necessary to scratch that particular itch my lizard brain demands.

Speaking of itches my lizard brain demands, and actually, the Akashic Dragon, Typhon, Ultima, and so forth. Praise be to the Flame Imperishable! If I haven't mentioned this ever, my favorite trope in all of fiction is the Awakening of Buried Evil through the Actions of the Greedy and slash or, the Stupid. Think, dwarves discovering the Balrog in Moria. This means that bar none, my favorite locations in video games tend to be mines and extensive underground structures. Think the Mines of Moria. The greatest joy for me is having a party venturing into the bowels of the earth and discovering horrors beyond their kenning which would have been best left undiscovered. Imagine if you will, the Mines of Moria.

I hear mention of a Guardian in these Mines, guarding the Heart of the Mothercrystal, and so naturally, I'm hoping to see an eldritch otherworldly monstrosity. Chained gods to a wall with poison dripping in their eyes, locked away because someone had a damn good reason to lock them away. My disappointment upon discovering, oh, it's just a dragon (a cool dragon, don't get me wrong, it's glorious) might have been a bit preemptive. You know what makes these sorts of creatures really, really cool? A distinct lack of context! So, Typhon with its really slick discount Ozzy Osbourne look, followed by the reveal of Ultima, more than made up for this to me.

I did not cry at Cid's death.

I did, however, cry hideously at the reveal of Ambrosia. First off, how the hell did she survive the beginning? I questioned Torgal's reunion but gave it a pass because why would I be angry at the dog coming back? But seriously, I cannot imagine any conceivable reason of all things that Clive's Chocobo survived Phoenix Gate. At this rate, I'm beginning to suspect his father's not really dead because let's do a quick tally:

Torgal- never presumed dead, but inexplicably alive

Joshua- definitely murdered, quite brutally, but alive through Phoenix magic

Ambrosia- presumed dead protecting Clive during the massacre at Phoenix Gate, but defying all logic, inexplicably alive.

Not complaining though. The reunion was heartwarming. And I find it interesting that this is actually a completely optional side quest, that you could theoretically miss. You would think this little plot would be integrated in with the main plot a bit, but I suppose having a Chocobo mount doesn't exactly tie into the Martha's Rest plot, or the larger plot of the Valisthean civil war very well.

But yes, this entire scene had me inexplicably ugly-crying.

Things are certainly shaking up a bit. As a side note, I'm guessing Jill doesn't make to the end. Why? Because, upon obtaining Ramuh, there's room on the Ability menu for five more Eikons. There's only one Eikon for each Element, and Jill uses Ice. So, unless she freely gives Shiva to Clive as a personal sacrifice, in order for him to gain access to Blizzard Magic, Jill will die.

I'm ignoring the possibility of there being a second Eikon of Ice for the simple fact that the fact that a second Eikon of Fire exists is such a major world-altering revelation that it would have incredible consequences to the world building as a whole if another element were shown to have two (or more) Eikons. Ifrit is special because it shouldn't exist at all- a second Eikon of Ice would detract from that.

9 healthy habits to follow everyday

As per the knowledge passed on by our ancestors and mentioned in ayurveda, our body is made of 5 basic elements. These five basic elements are water, ether, earth, fire and air. These elements are recognized as pancha bhoota. Our body is predominated by core elements or doshas which are vata, pitta and kapha. Just as changes on the Earth are caused by the influences of the Sun  and the moon, in the similar way, our body and the completed physiology is also affected. It is because we are a part of this planet Earth and the Sun and the Moon are the natural healers. Presence of vata, pitta and kapha present in different proportions are also impacted by the sun and the moon.

Lets understand what 9 healthy habits we need to follow as per ayurveda in the entire day

1) Wake up in brahmamuhurta

It is the early morning or just the last phase of darkness. It is the period when the sun is going to rise and the kapha element gets reduced and the vata element gets activated. It is the time period when you can actually acquire a higher level of wisdom. Body and mind gets  into the phase and therefore it is recommended to wake in this phase or early morning.

2)   Drinking water in the empty stomach: It helps in flushing out toxins from the body through the excretory system. It cleanses the bowels from the stomach, activating your metabolism, improves appetite and skin.

3)   Cleansing your teeth and mouth: Using neem leaf extract and its bark for oral purpose can actually prevent cavities and tooth decay. You can chew the neem twigs until it gets into bristle shape and then you can brush the teeth with it.You can use the twigs to clean the tongue also.

4)   Practice exercise or yoga: Depending on the dosha type, you need to increase the intensity of yoga or exercise. With a kapha type of body, one must contribute more time to exercise. With the body of piitta, one must have medium intensity. With pitta type, one must have low intensity. One should not stop exercising until the heat is not generated.

5)   Take bathe everyday :  After half an hour of exercise, one must take bathe using the normal water. Ayurveda does not recommended the use of hot water because it is not good for heart and mind. Neither it is good for hair texture

6)   Practice meditation: : After the bathe is taken, one should practice meditation to increase the focus and concentration of mind. One can do it in ritual form or by keeping a candle in front of eyes and concentrating on it. One should practice meditation in the empty stomach. Because you finish up with your meal, the digestive system gets activated and so the blood supply gets involved. It can cause interruption if you practice meditation after the meal.

7)    Have a light meal during breakfast:  Ayurveda always recommends having breakfast after the sun rises. It is because the agni element is activated after the sun rise. Unlike western culture, ayurveda suggests having light and easily digestable food during breakfast. The reason is that for the entire night, the body has been in rest mode and metabolism gets activated after the sun rises. It becomes easier for the digestive system to absorb the food for energy conversion easily.

8)    Have proper lunch:  It is always better to have lunch during 1 PM in the afternoon. It is when the sun is at the top of the head and the agni element is also at the highest point. And so, it is suggested to have the meal in a higher quantity. After that you can take a rest and continue with your normal work life.

9)   Get ready for recreation in the evening and dinner after sunset:

 Engaging in daily recreational activities during the evening will lower your stress level and refresh your body and mind. You must have a light dinner at 8:30pm maximum. It is because metabolic activity slows down and kapha dosha rises in the body.

These are simple habits which promise the key to healthy life followed by longevity and everlasting happiness.

The sea provides and the sea takes, this is the simple mantra all sea folk know. For every heavy haul and successful hunt, there is a lost ship and watery grave. It is a place where some waters can be brimming with life and sustenance, but other sections offer nothing but an endless blue void. Riches be plundered from its depths, tables can be laden with its offerings, and then suddenly in a blink of an eye there is nothing but empty nets and empty homes. This mantra can be applied to what dwells beneath the surface, as these oceans are not just home to simple fish and monstrous leviathans. There is a world down there, any sea folk can tell you that. What we know of it is quite sparse, but some folk claim this ignorance is a blessing. Because as alien as it is, there is familiarity in their shapes and ways. Customs and creations that are far too similar to be mere coincidence. Do these beings below mirror themselves after the strange offerings that descend to their world from the light-filled waters above? Or do we shudder to think that our ways were not born on dry land? The question exists, but is often ignored. Few wish to answer it.

If these abyssal beings are mirrors to those up above, then it is no surprise that they know of battle and violence. The bowels of the sea are already familiar with the deaths that are necessary for survival, for mercy means starvation and hesitancy means another's fangs buried in your hide. And even if this strange world retained some bestial innocence, what would they learn from the offerings that fall upon their heads? The burnt splinters of wood and bone, as our own artificial leviathans perish to cannon fire and Yellowflame. The bodies of sailors and fighters, torn by explosion and violated by arrows and harpoons. The mementos and trinkets carved upon ivory and blessed with hope, given by a waiting lover but now vanishing in the darkness below. Though the sea may appear unblemished by our wars, the abyss knows of our sin. Who can blame them for taking up arms? Perhaps it is for their own defense, fearful that our violence and chaos may too fall upon their world. Or maybe they craft these weapons with the intention of storming a hate-filled heaven and clearing it of its ceaseless blasphemy.

Below are weapons that were born from the sea, either crafted in its depths or made from its denizens. Some have washed up on shore, others have been found embedded in ship hulls. While many shy away from these strange tools, fearing their very presence, some sea folk have taken these recovered weapons and used them for themselves. As it is said, the sea gives and the sea takes away. Some see this discovery as a gift, granted by the ocean as a blessing of protection. But others believe the sea has come to claim a debt, for those who gleefully grab these odd blades have instead sealed their deaths.

1. Telson Barb - A jagged spear crafted from the pieces of a fallen Devout, whose body now serves to protect their faith. Carried by many, even by other Devout, for even in death the faithful may still serve. Its tip is coated in their Blue Blood, charging it with Abyssal Lightning. Those pierced by its barb shall feel its energy sear through their body, as it is said their sin is being drained away. It is said that this revelation and cleansing makes many drop to their knees and offer their souls to the sea, but in truth, Abyssal Lightning robs one of vitality, leaving the wounded sluggish and unable to fight back against the mortal blow.

2. Fiddler's Bident - A heftier blade born from claw and dripping with draining Blue Blood. Its size and impact makes it an intimidating weapon, which makes some view it as an executioner's tool. It is a weapon of both purification and damnation, all depending on which end the viewer is on. For those who wield it, the twin prongs snare foes and trap them in a frying embrace, holding them high so that all can see sin be burned away. But for those who feel its draining bite, they are the condemned being dragged down into hell by a pallid crushing claw.

3. Writhing Mace - A crude living weapon crafted from a searing anemone. Hefty shell gives it its smash, while Blue Blood filled tendrils grant it its sting. A cruel weapon at times, for it shatters limbs than violates the wounds with probing burning tentacles. Must be baptized in sea water every so often so that its anemone doesn't dry out.

4. Benthic Rapier - Crafted from the skull of a swordfish, it is believed the essence of the creature still lives on within it. Those who wield it claim they feel the fish's ferocity swim through their veins, and guide their blade in a deadly flurry. Grasp the blade and aim it towards thy foe. Do you not feel its pull? its eagerness to taste flesh once more?

5. Shingled Buckler - A living shield in the form of an urchin, whose armored scales defy claw and blade. Its ring of protruding shingles still slowly move and pulse, a sluggishness still powered by instinct. Wielders find it easier to catch blades with this shield, as these scales lash out against blows to catch them in a brief, but decisive, embrace.

6. Abyssal Whiptail - A whip cut from a denizen of the abyss, crackling with Abyssal Lightning. Its glow was once used to lure in prey before ending them with a single strike. This trait as not been lost in death, as wielders claim its luminescent tendril mesmerizes foes on the battlefield as it flows and dances, and then the hunter leaps in for the kill.

7. Sawsnout Blade - The weapon of a sawfish, now severed and wielded by another. Its many spikes and teeth tear through flesh and leave horrible weeping wounds. It is not the weapon of a clean killer or an efficient warrior. It is a tool of anger and brutality, ensuring every foe return to the cycle in as much pain and in as many pieces as possible. It is a cruel thing to behold, but the fish probably approves.

8. Lost Cudgel - Not all tools are crafted from fallen followers of the abyss, as some come from the corpses that drift down from the heavens. The stiff, hollow shells of humanity's naval beasts are seen just the same as the leviathans who find their final resting place here. Ships are beset with scavengers once they reach the ocean floor, and anything useful is stripped from its bones. Even rotting wood and awkward chunks can be wielded, not unlike the primitive bone clubs we once pulled from prey. Some call it savagery, others say it simplicity. There is no doubt something primal within these blunt weapons, but look upon the world and the violence that runs rampant. Have we truly evolved beyond this, or are we simply too proud to admit that civilization is still ruled by who can bludgeon who?

9. Staff of the Divine Mother - A holy scepter wielded by the preachers and priests of the deep. Crafted from bone, worm and marine rot, it is shaped into the symbol of the Mother of Snow. Its watery flesh flows in the shape of fish, following the staff through both land and sea. While often it is simply used as an effigy, to remind followers of the divine Mother who watches and provides for us all, it can be wielded as a weapon in time of need. The fish can be sent forth to assault blasphemers and rob them of both flesh and vigor. From its rotting spells, life is stolen and transferred, granting it upon wielder and devout followers. It is a weapon that uses life to inflict death, and death to restore life. Truly an effigy of our sweet divine Mother.

10. Heaven's Effigy - A figure claimed from the corpse of a ship, and given new life as a mighty hammer. What must have run through the minds of the abyssal followers when they glimpsed such a visage? A being of both man and fish. Is it a thing of blasphemy? For they fill it with rot and bury it under scavenger and worm. Or is it a thing of worship? For they carry it with pride and hold it with devout flippers. In this rotted state, there is no denying it carries the image of the Mother of Snow. Do they think those above believe in her too? Do they see this fallen carcass and see it as a sign of kinship? Or maybe they view it as a sign that she is always watching them and providing for them, as this symbol only enters their world upon a falling carcass. Another gift from our divine Mother...

11. Chitonous Slab - A sturdy shield made from a chiton, whose shell repels all who dare challenge it. Its armor and size allows it to take on countless blows without faltering, while its mantle of spines allows it to return the favor. Even when not wielded it can still protect, as it will latch onto one's back and cover them from cowardly strikes.

"Abyssal Weapons"

Since we are talking all about the sea and the folks who live in it, why not dive into the world of weapons they wield? I know some descriptions may not offer much, but the problem is that I wanted to talk about some of them, so thus they all needed a little blurb to justify it!
