Do you remember what the first piece of mythology was that you read?

What is your favorite myth?

and today it is probably "Coyote and the Mouse Girls", a Koryak story I read in Barry Lopez's wonderful "Giving Birth to Thunder, Sleeping with his Daughter, even if the Coyote in it isn't really Coyote but Kutkh, the Koryak Raven-Spirit who sometimes created the world, and who has a lot of back-history with the mice, at least according to the Wikipedia entry.

Tomorrow it will be something else.

One mildly chilly day in August and suddenly I want to read every Victorian novel in existence.

Afraid that after this summer I won’t live in the hills again. It’s absolutely a possibility, I’ve made up my mind about staying up north. But I can’t think about it too long without wanting to throw it all away and fall back in the holler. I think I’m over falling asleep against a tree with a gun slung across my chest during slow hunts and stomping through creeks and wandering through the woods until I’m stuck in traffic and I roll down the window to find the air doesn’t even smell the same. I love the friends I’ve made, don’t get me wrong, but they don’t understand half the things I say when I talk about home. I’ve never known love more than when I’ve wanted to show people where I’m from. Love to me is wanting you to feel a June night on my favorite backroad at 17, snug in the passenger seat of my high school car. Windows down, deaf to everything other than the wind and the rattle of the dash. I’ve missed so many seasons and I’m afraid the decommissioned bridge I love so much will rot before I see it again. I never thought I’d miss a place so much.

Coda just wants to go home, yet he runs into the strangest people who he can't help wanting to help.

(@thewastelandlosers Creep and my Coda Moore, do they interact or do they ignore eachother, maybe both???)

Consider Yelan's facial expression to be my own in reaction to opinions shared on both X and Tumblr, and I guess I'm in the minority of the 'loud ones', but I'm pretty excited for Natlan since that trailer, actually. The previous teasers left me a little 'eh', but this definitely got my hopes back up, and I'm back in the right spirits for it (and ready to catch some Pokémon.)

Now I wouldn't be me if I didn't touch on the salt that I've seen scattered across the dash, so here I go. Listen, I read people's objections and I see what you're all aiming at, but in that light want to note that it's often incredibly easy to point fingers (arguably too much so) at others while being, quite honestly, hopefully rather aware that many of our own countries, cultures, and its populations across the board (and no, I'm not excluding anyone here) would likely be just as easily guilty as MHY is with these things. And no, I'm not blindly defending them, but I also won't point fingers at only one without pointing them everywhere else as well, including those you might think would 'never do such things', because I'm absolutely certain that they would. /continues on in the tags.

Theoretically, I knew organising funerals was a big, complicated thing. As reality is, I would very much like to run away screaming into a dark forest.

Edit: i'm a bit tipsy and the tags are full of typos. Don't pay attention.

SUMMARY: A devout priest welcomes a struggling couple into his house at Christmas time. However, his simple act of kindness soon becomes the ultimate test of faith once the sanctity of his home is jeopardized.

I'm coping with being back in the Chesapeake just fine thanks for asking pay no mind to the crockpot of stew bubbling on a 91 + humidity day while I nurse this fuckin heat/pollen induced migraine with even more water and weed
