Two 2-star…

I just explained this to someone and I thought I'd make a post for it on here too.

Shrouds in Percy Jackson are like this right?

But their siblings decorate and make them out of silks with decorative embellishments on them?

The empty ones are burned after a quest to symbolise that the person they were made for came back from a quest ALIVE.

The lack of cemetery at chb shows that when they burn Silena, Charlie, Luke, Lee, Castor, everyone's shrouds, they have their bodies in them. They're being cremated.

#which is horrible to think cus while you're on a quest your sibs are preparing for your possible death. which ig is a coping mechanism?#`i know your worring about your sibs possible death why dont you make them a burial shroud! if they come back alive we burn it with them!`#`what if they don't come back alive?`#`....ummm well still burn it`#castor and pollux #lee fletcher #michael yew #charlie beckendorf #silena beauregard #luke castellan #percy jackson #annabeth chase #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo hoo toa #now some might get taken home idk rick never says. it is a kids book he can't out right say it ig #rick riordan #now i dokt think decorating burial shrouds is a an mythology thing or greek thing i think its a 'shit we have to destract these kids from #thinking about the possibility of their siblings death! uhhhhh...... decorate a cloth with us? two birds one stone?'#thing. which is depressing but fair it gives them something else to work on instead of worrying #camp half blood #chb #dont quote me on ancient burial rights but cus idk #the last olympian #the lightning thief #the sea of monsters #the titans curse #the battle of the labyrinth

Modern crystal healing: It opens your ~chakras~ you will attract ~abundance~ you will ~connect with the universe~

Medieval crystal healing: This shit makes you invisible, stops your periods from hurting, and makes your husband love you.

#chatter #Yes those are all taken from real medieval descriptions of crystals.#I can't remember the last one but the first two are topaz and carnelian.#I prefer older crystal healing sources I will not lie.#Its the fact that they're less vague and more confident about their assumptions.#I have read modern (70s) crystal healing books and they are INCOMPREHENSIBLE.#The thing about these books from the 70s is that if you follow the citation chain of modern books they all lead back to them.#I don't know how you could get any useful information from Healing “diamonds are so strong they cause cancer” Stoned.#Want medieval rock information?#Hildegarde von Bingen's Physica and Albert the Great's De Mineralibus.#English translations: Priscilla Throop and Dorothy Wyckoff respectively because I've read those.#Physica includes a lot more than crystals and Throop's translation is easy to read so I recommend it in general.#Wyckoff's De Mineralibus contains a lot of interesting footnotes that explain what Albert could've been referring to.#Because shockingly in a society without ways to definitively test minerals sometimes every green rock is an emerald.#Bonus: Want some Roman crystal knowledge? Pliny the Elder's Natural History volume 11.#||#witch #witchblr #witch memes #witchcraft #crystal witch #crystals #witch meme

I started doing end of the year TBR last year and it went horribly… So here I am trying again!

24 books I want to read before 2024 is over. My hopes are abysmal but we will see! Big thanks to NetGalley for doubling my TBR with a few ARCs!

QOTD: Do keep to a strict list when working through your TBR or are you a mood reader?

listen i know i’m always on the jonsa train re: “sansa’s Hero From The Stories coming to help her save her home” but i am genuine about the briensa theonsa and podrick/sansa stuff okay i understand that may be like crack theory territory but i think sansa’s longing for someone who will ~love her for who she is~ + wanting a True Knight (tm) by her side + the introduction of the concept of claiming your children were fathered by an animal points to a really specific type of person coming to rescue her BUT actively placing power in sansa’s hands so she does not feel helpless in their relationship. and brienne AND pod AND theon (and jon obvi) have those moments where they save someone at great risk to themselves not for any gain but simply because it’s the right thing, the only thing to do + all three of them are confronting the idea that “life is not a song” and grappling with the world and their own lives being so much more gray than they ever wanted or expected it to be, and i think that puts them on a collision course with sansa’s story and i don’t think they’re going to be with her temporarily, i think it’s likely they’re sticking with her for the long term as they figure out together what being a True Knight (tm) or a Good Person (tm) or a strong person even looks like thank you for coming to my ted talk!!!

#personally i would love if shades of this ‘the hero sansa was looking for’ is in ALL of their stories and also arya’s #i get theon being castrated does put a dent in this theory but if rhaenys can have aenys without ever fucking aegon i think sansa & theon #can figure something out too. same for brienne akdjdj.#i realize i’m putting a lot of faith re: briensa in george here and i’m not saying i HAVE that faith #but i AM saying i think it’s actually not a huge long shot that briensa aren’t living together at winterfell Without The Dudes They’re #Romantically Linked To Anywhere Around and a really romantic subtext exists between the two of them winding up at winterfell together.#getting on my soap box #briensa #one day i’ll remember the sanpod name. sanrick?#theonsa #book jonsa #stone and snow remains #fathered by a wolf

I have finally emptied the blue bench of all the library books I need to hand back, even though they were terribly photogenic in there, and instead have filled it with all the old children's books I've been keeping around for like fifteen years or more, even though the chances of me ever having children or even passing them on to nieces/nephews/cousins etc is vanishingly small. These are less photogenic but at least it's one way to start clearing the living room of boxes.

Currently strategising how to fit them all in but also wow this is a list of Problematic Children's Authors TM

#I mean #They're all dead and they were probably considered Problematic long before I read them as a kid and I turned out sort of ok-ish #But honestly not a great look and very much proponents of a particular early to mid twentieth century upper class moral system #On the other hand #I do fully believe that the PTSD-addled disaster teenager in a Sopwith Camel that is James Bigglesworth is appropriate reading for kids #The shelf goes 'Snotty boarding school stories; saccharine animal stories; now let's introduce the children to the concept of WW1 #Shellshock and alcoholism time for the little ones; on the other hand the racist elements in quite a few of them are going to need reviewin #Not sure the 1970s approach- which was essentially to revere the same authors but delete the racist and sexist language- actually worked #Because it took out the worst words but it didn't actually do anything about the fundamental attitudes of the books #Maybe we should have asked WHY we revere a certain type of children's literature from a certain (colonial; stiff upper-lip; heroic) era #Rather than simply deleting a word here and there and repackaging them as essentially ok for the next generation #Eh #As I say I turned out fine and I think if handled properly it can teach children how to read critically #But if in some miraculous turn of events there ever Real Children in this house that shelf is going to need diversifying #I just can't seem to bring myself to throw them out yet; I know I'm not likely to ever have children so not sure why I keep them really #But I used to think I'd have them for my own kids and that's a hard idea to let go of #And not something I'm willing to unpack right now #On the other hand 'The Adventures of Robin Hood' has to stay even though the spine is falling off #It has been a favourite of two generations because we all love Robin Hood and also Marion is allowed to be kick-ass for thirty seconds #And that tiny scene got me through half my childhood #Earth and stone

Page 43! The wonderful graphic designer assigned to my book (shout out to Chris!) thought to use this page in the place of a traditional book summary on the back of the hardcover addition! What a great idea! I feel like this page really captures the conflict between Aster (the white bunny) and Carlin (the red-orange-brown bunny) without giving too much away. I also like that the wind makes an appearance, since the wind holds a lot of spiritual significance for these characters.

#comics #colored pencil #graphic novel #the wind gets brought up more in book two #but yeah #the wind is kind of a fickle reaper #it 'takes you' whenever it wants #which sometimes means you die early...or that you can't seem to die at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#sorry Potenmitt and Edwin lol #the wind can also carry the voices of the deceased #the characters are able to take refuge amongst 'the whistling stones' in book one (like...the wind whistles through these stones)#because it's well-known that like #if you hunt in that particular area #the spirits of the dead will follow you when you leave

[ID: a rectangular flag with 4 equally-sized horizontal stripes with a thinner stripe through the middle. from top to bottom, the stripes are greenish off-black, off-white, swamp green, off-white, and greenish off-black. in the middle of the flag is the vesility symbol. the base shape is a 4-pointed start with smaller points between each star point. the symbol outline is almost-black, and the symbol fill is swamp green. End ID]

Fearenvesi / Fearenvesil

[PT: Fearenvesi / Fearenvesil. end PT]

A vesility for when the fear entities from The Magnus Archives affect most or all of one's identity. This can refer to the concept of fear entities, can refer to several unspecified entities, can refer to fan entities, or any other way that one may feel it fits.

a revenge for @en8y!!! which makes it 8 points for Team Moon i think, because +5 for the base term, +1 for the revenge chain, and +2 for a non-gender term! enjoy, Tech!

@kiruliom and tagging @noxwithoutstars cause TMA =3 (cat face emoticon)

#liom community #liom coining #TMA LIOM #TMA MOGAI #2023coinfight #fearenvesi #fearenvesil #our terms #vesils #theme: TMA #theme: media #theme: fear #theme: horror #reference book #stealthily terms a coin we'd love to have as well. two birds one stone lol #theme: divinity #theme: religion

You know you're on the right track with your Worldbuilding when your thoughts about early atomic weapons are filed in your head under the title "Kill Them All: Proliferation, Altercation, And The Spectre of Annihilation In The Hangman's Half-Decade"

#worldbuilding #writeblr #my writing #my worldbuilding #my wips #That's actually gonna be the 'real' name for an in-universe doorstopper of an academic book I think #So two birds in one stone #Atomic weapons development #and the academic / historical institutions or groups within the 12 Worlds

I was at a used bookstore today and saw Christopher Anderson’s biography of Mick. I flipped to the photo insert and the very first one was captioned something like “Despite his faux Cockney accent, Michael Philip Jagger was born to a middle class family and is shown here at age 2.” The photo was Charlie's baby picture. I didn’t buy the book.

That’s particularly egregious because baby Charlie and baby Mick don’t even look alike. Even as a 2 year old the eyes, nose, eyebrows, etc are so distinctive on Charlie that you couldn’t possibly mix them up.

And Charlie was much cuter.

#I doubt Keith would ever read one of those books #but I’m sure he would take personal offense to those two being mixed up #the rolling stones #charlie watts #mick jagger #young married band #ask response #anonymous

She's out of control, why is she like this

And then when I explained myself, she doesn't reply so I'm thinking okay great I made a good point, she'll just back down and not argue with me, but she follows up at 6am:
